Yet that said, any individual may stand up against the "church" with
Bible in hand and protest. This is what Luther did and what he did was
not wrong, it was exactly right. The clear teaching of the bible was
not what the RCC had indoctrinated.

Surely this is not a vague reference to "on this Rock?" Would you
please provide the passage you are quoting from.

Yes! Is this not what Luther did? Again, was he wrong in standing
against the church when it was wrong in its doctrine pertaining to
salvation? No. So one man can certainly stand against the historical
teaching of the church. However, it will be admitted, that the
percentages are low. Yet there remains Dan 12:9 which pretends that
more revelation is yet to be understood. This could posibly contend
with some held "church" doctrine, say for instance, amillennialism, or
universalism, etc. Certainly the two witnesses as well as the 144,000
witnesses of the Tribulation era will derive their message from God.

So, yes. It is a distinct posibility.

Again as Luther demanded, show me in Scripture and by the Scriptures
where I am wrong. Sola scriptura.

Duh! It had to do with heresies! You responded to none of the 6 pts.
What is interesting is your cutting and pasting. At least you should
give credit to your resources.
