"… the list could easily be much longer, but these few should raise serious doubts as to the indefectibility of the Roman Catholic Church. Though some may claim it is the true church and that its teachings can be found within the pages of Scripture, again I must disagree. The Bible tells us not to exceed in the word of God…’ Now these things brethren I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to exceed what is written, in order that no one of you might become arrogant in behalf of one against the other’ -1 Cor. 4:6 . (Matt Slick, President of Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry-CARM). He is on the indefectibility of the Roman Catholic Church.
It is difficult to see how this can be so if Mr Slick attempts to ignore the presence of the Holy Spirit in it and this he pretends by reading what he likes into the Church.
The President knows with his wide and deep reading that the only writings in the New Testament when 1 Corinthians was being written in A.D. 55 were Galatians and James both written in A.D. 49, 1 and 2 Thessalonians both having been written between A.D. 51/52 and the Gospel of Mark written about the same time. So it is likely to have been judiciously referring to the Old Testament which were possibly in circulation. Otherwise Paul could have pre-emptively blocked any other writing including his which he was still writing or was yet to write. hese include the three other Gospels and even Reveletion were yet to be written.
No. The Catholic Church has never exceeded anything because she is guided by Divine Inspiration not human impulses.
