Jesus is supposed to be our teacher and His words are the Bible. The Bible is His Word, Jesus is the Word and the Word is TRUTH. So much devision has occurred because of these docrines created by false teachers, yes I agree we listen to the apostles, the ones in the Bible. I see you are Catholic, is it your belief that the Pope is the one we gleen our truth from instead of the Bible? Do you believe we follow the pope instead of the Bible? I am not trying to be insulting I just want to know if this is what you believe.Deceptions do indeed come from false teachers.
Jesus Christ's Church is commanded by Jesus to teach us the law of Jesus Christ under His New Covenant. Matthew 28:18-20 We are not supposed to make our own interpretations of these Church leaders' New Testament Scriptures. Because people refuse to listen to His Church's leaders, there are now thousands of churches. People who interpret the Bible for themselves cannot agree what the Scriptures mean. They cannot agree on doctrine.
2 Thessalonians 2:15
So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter. rsv
2 Peter 3:16The early Church leaders wrote the NT Bible. It is up to them to interpret their own Scriptures. Their teachings about the Scriptures have been handed down by faithful men (bishops) for 2000 years.
(Paul) speaking of this as he does in all his letters. There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other scriptures. rsv
2 Timothy 2:2The Bereans searched the Old Testament to see if what Paul was preaching about the Messiah was true.
And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. nkjv
