The Bible not the Pope makes it very clear there is only ONE way to salvation......
1Tim 2:5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
So, deep in the Amazon jungle there is this man. Let’s say his name is Nimbyah. He was raised by 2 loving parents, was very thoughtful of his neighbors, helped those in need, gave a portion of his food to a local man who was elderly and could no longer hunt. Married a woman and raised 2 children. Never hurt anyone and always felt terrible and repented if he ever did anything wrong. But Nimbyah doesn’t know Christ. He may have heard the name and a brief story about Him from rare visitors to his village.
Nimbyah dies.
Are you telling me that Nimbyah is spending an eternity in the fires of hell?
"The Bible" is a collection of man's writings, not some spiritual authority.
That's the POV of the guy who was writing to Timothy. You need to bear that in mind
Actually, he knew full well he was writing Scripture, as he called it "God-breathed". His writings were called Scripture by a contemporary, Peter. Paul claimed to have received revelation from God. It wasn't "just his opinion". There were places where he was clear that he was simply giving his opinion, but this wasn't one of those spots.
Hmm....didn't realize that. OK....so now they're based out of Orange County, NY.
Yeah, it was big news in the NYC commercial real estate world. That building with WATCHTOWER emblazoned on a big sign at the top was a visible presence for many decades.

I know, but I could write something and call it God-breathed, too. I'm sure he truly believed it was. Heck, I HAVE written things I felt very strongly were inspired.
Some people agreed, some did not. That's how it goes with people who write.

Yeah I have seen her, even follow her youtube channel and on social media now. She used to be a moderate Protestant (Church of Christ), and saw some of those videos before she became a Catholic.
They were quite refreshing even then, rather than the militant Evangelical Protestant videos declaring that the Pope was the Antichrist, 10 dirty secrets of the Catholic Church, and it was the ***** of Babylon etc etc.
This is the sort of stuff she made BEFORE becoming a Catholic:
The Church of Christ is not moderate. They left behind that theology when they split from the Disciples of Christ. They are fundamentalist in many of their beliefs... baptism by immersion, bible is inerrant etc.
