Why don't you accept the authority of the Church as instructed by the Scriptures?

Lutero:
Thank you for explaining it better than I. Notice how when we steadfastly point to the Scriptures and show from those Scriptures that they are the true authority, then comes the Catholic questions designed to cast doubts and herd you to the RCC: where in the NT does it tell us the NT is the word of God and more idiotic questions designed to castigate God's word and uphold the "authority" of Catholicism. Pathetic.

He asked a simple question. Why didn't you answer it? Is it because you don't know?

Here, let me show you where it says so:

I believe this verse compares the NT to the OT and says that the Christian Church possesses a more sure word of Prophecy. Therefore, if the OT is inspired, the NT is even more inspired.
2 Peter 1:19

King James Version (KJV)
¹⁹ We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

In addition, we have St. Paul saying:
2 Corinthians 3:6

King James Version (KJV)
⁶ Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
Note also how St. Peter compared St. Paul's epistles to the "other" Scriptures.

2 Peter 3:16

King James Version (KJV)
¹⁶ As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

With that in mind, I believe Scripture tells us that the New Testament is inspired.
Now, let me ask you, why do you diss the Church? Scripture is clear that the Church is also authoritative:
Matthew 18:17

King James Version (KJV)
¹⁷ And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

And also the Priests and Bishops whom God appointed to rule over our souls:
Hebrews 13:17

King James Version (KJV)
¹⁷ Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

Why don't you accept the authority of the Church as instructed by the Scriptures?

Sincerely,

De Maria
