I know of three, perhaps four depending on we count, times in history that the Church has set aside some teachings of the bible.
1. The Council of Jerusalem set aside the requirement for circumcision for gentiles entering the Church.
2. Pope Calixtus claimed for the Church the authority to forgive the sin of adultery. That authority was later extended to other mortal sins, contrary to 1 John 5:16 and Hebrews 10:26-30
3. The Council of Nicea allowed apostates to return to the Church, contrary to Hebrews 6:4-6
Do you agree that the Church has that authority or not?
