My Research, There are no passages in the Bible which state that Christ made His church the infallible interpreter of His Word.
But Catechism says, "How can you get the true meaning of the Bible? You can get it only from God's official interpreter of the Church."
What?!
The Bible says, "For we write nothing to you that you do not read and understand." 2 Cor. 1:13
We are commanded and exhorted: grow in knowledge (2 Pet. 3:18), study (2 Tim. 2:15), exercise senses (Heb. 5:14), search (Acts 17:11), receive (James 1:21), read (Eph. 3:3-4), desire it (2 Pet. 2:2), let it unfold (Psalm 119:130), meditate on it day and night (Psalm 1:2) hear it read (Rev. 1:3), have it preached (2 Tim. 4:2-4; 1 Pet. 4:11), test what is said (1 John 4:1; Matt. 7:15-16), prove all things (1 Thess. 5:21).
The inspired writers taught that we most certainly can understand the Scriptures.
What is wrong with the Catechism?
