Please Convince Me of Church Infallibility

[mackbrislawn]

Finally, I agree that having an authority in charge to make decisions about various issues would be very helpful…But Church authority is NOT the same as Church infallibility. One can believe someone has authority without agreeing the authority is correct.

But if that authority is fallible, why should I treat it as an authority? If it is fallible I am free to disagree with it if I like my opinion better, in which case it is not an authority.

The notion of infallibility is needed to free us from mere human opinion. Because opinions are like noses, we all have one.

Court systems couldn’t exist under the premise you have set forth here.

Correct. And that’s why OJ is not guilty.
