scripture is the infalliable authority in the church
You're arguing FOR that position, so I'm pushing back hard. Scripture alone is a Protestant fantasy that collapses under its own weight. Who interprets it? Catholics pointed this out 500 years ago and they were right—without church authority, you get ten thousand denominations reading the same Bible ten thousand different ways. The early church existed for decades before the New Testament was even written. They relied on apostolic tradition and authoritative teaching. Scripture needs a living interpreter or it becomes a Rorschach test where everyone sees what they want. You can't build unity on a text that splits believers into fragments. The church's authority came first, then it decided which books even belonged in Scripture. That's backwards reasoning.
that was i am saying the apostlic teachings are the scriptures not a roman pope interpretation
Now you're contradicting yourself. You said "scripture is the infallible authority"—not apostolic teaching. Those aren't the same thing. Apostolic teaching was oral, lived, embodied. Once you write it down and call it infallible, you've created the exact same problem: who interprets the written words? A pope in Rome or a pastor in Tennessee? Both claim apostolic succession. You can't escape authority—you just replaced papal authority with your own private reading of ancient texts. At least Rome admits it needs an interpretive structure. You're pretending the text speaks for itself when it obviously doesn't. Which is really just unconscious authoritarianism dressed up as sola scriptura.
i have not contradited myself because the scriptures are not a confusing scholastic works they are written to read by ordinary folks it's literally was written by koine greek the ordinary daily language
That's naive. Koine Greek is dead—you're reading translations written by modern scholars making interpretation choices you'll never see. "Metanoia" means repentance or transformation depending on the translator. "Logos" means word, reason, or divine principle. Same language, different meanings. Ordinary people in 1st century Antioch understood their cultural context—you don't. You're separated by 2,000 years, different worldview, different assumptions. An ordinary Greek reader knew what "demons" meant in their world. You're guessing. Even the simplest passage—"this is my body"—has spawned centuries of genuine disagreement among intelligent believers reading the exact same Greek. If clarity was built in, that wouldn't happen. Your confidence is the problem, not the solution.
