For Protestants, can no one teach without error?

[Good_Fella]

No, no one can teach infallibly, not even “Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, James, Jude, Isaiah, David, Jeremiah, etc”. They’re just men, like the rest of us.

As Christians, the word of God is the final objective and authoritative standard by which all matters of doctrine and practice are judged.

He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter said in reply, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus said to him in reply, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father.”
{Matthew 16, 15-17}

Peter’s declaration of faith is the Church’s first recorded infallible teaching. Our first Pope did not merely utter his words by having made a private, rational judgment. He affirmed a Divine truth by the grace of God. Peter made a public judgment. The private judgments of fallible individuals who attempt to rationalize the teachings of the Church - deposited in Scripture and Tradition - naturally result in a disunity of faith. The Protestant tradition confirms this fact. The Word of God is subjective here; it is not final and irreformable among Protestant religious thinkers and leaders.

Jesus commissioned Peter and the Apostles to teach the Gospel and minister the sacraments to all men until the end of time. Their successors, the Apostolic college of the pope and the world’s bishops, continue to exercise this divine office with the authority conferred on them by Christ, who transferred the authority he received from his Father to the apostles shortly before his ascension into heaven. He did this in order that the faithful would be united in one faith and guided in all truth.

Pax vobiscum

Does this not render the Scriptures unreliable???
