Jesus Christ founded the new covenant church for the salvation of all men! (Jn 1:16-17) Christ is the truth! (Jn 14:6) Christ and his church are one!
(Acts 9;4 eph 5:32)
The church is the pillar of truth
(1 Tim 3:15) that must teach all men (Matt 28:19) without error guided by the Holy Spirit
(Jn 16:13) Thru the grace of God in the sanctification of souls applied in the seven sacraments!
Sacramental life: Jn 1:16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. Jn 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

I know one thing without a shadow of doubt. Christ didn't found the church so that thee faith could berate all and sundry and tell them how little they know and how much he knows.
Perception is a funny thing. I perceive @theefaith as zealous, not berating. I reckon it’s a fine line.
I have never lectured anyone!
But it does reveal you’re spiritual pride!
We cannot read scriptures and decide doctrine for ourselves according to scripture we must be “taught”!
Lk 1:4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
Matt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Acts 8:31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
Acts 18:25
This man was instructed in the way of the Lord;
1 thes 4:6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
2 Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
I admit that friendship may bias my perception.
Zeal with knowledge informs on correct faith. I think you have zeal with knowledge of the Roman Catholic faith - which isn’t the primitive Christian faith.

When is the Holy Ghost going to come upon you? I don't think he will get a word in edgeways.

What nations are you teaching because you are teaching no one here as it is clear your dictatorial attitude shows you do not have a teacher's bone in your body and I speak as one who has a degree in teaching and has taught others.

When are you going to get someone to sit with you and show you that you are an ignoramus?

When are you going to get instructed in the ways of the Lord rather than the way of thee know it all?
