ALL prophecy of scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation-- patrick j miron

2^nd. Peter 1: 16-21  “You will do well to pay attention to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

 First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, 

  because no prophecy ever came by the impulse of man, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God

The Protestant position claims that Catholic’s “ARE FACTUALLY Idolaters” … Is founded on  a serious lack of understanding that Catholics prayers  to Mary and the Saints ARE meant for them alone. Such is NOT THE TRUTH! Our prayers still ascend to GOD, but  through Mary and the Saints as intercessors, which according to the understanding of Thomas makes this practice “idolatry.” 

1Tim.3: 15 “if I am delayed, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, [SINGULAR] which is the church of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of the truth“. [All SINGULAR] The Catholic Church.

Eph.3:  9 to 12  “And to make all men see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things; that through the church [SINGULAR: meaning  THE CATHOLIC Church; the ONLY “church“ when the Bible was FULLY written] the  manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places. This was according to the eternal purpose which he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and confidence of access through our faith in him”

FACTS:

1. Only Peter and the CC through him have been GRANTED the “keys” [ALL THAT IS NECESSARY for one’s own salvation] by Jesus Himself in person…Matt. 16:15-19

2.  The term “church” was first introduced by Jesus Himself in Matt. 16:18 “And I [Jesus] tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church,” [SINGULAR]
