AT: If we accept the premise that the councils could have erred on
doctrines, then how much *more* is any individual operately alone likely to
err on these same issues, including.... (Oooh, I'll be branded as a
heretic!) Luther. Therefore, we would also have to conclude that the Holy
Spirit may not have guided these councils the way He guided the authors of
Scripture. Which seems to suggest that the Holy Spirit operates
inconsistently, and then what do we make of the "guarantee" of Jesus that
His disciples will be "guided into all truths" by the Holy Spirit?
