No, it is you who has missed the point:
No.
"IF" God appointed men to infallibly convey God’s word to the rest of mankind, then God can use men (the Bishops) in the Church to infallibly convey God’s word to mankind.
IF?
Christ Jesus appointed men to teach and spread "Gods Word."
Gods Word is written in Scriptures, expressly FOR:
2 Tim 3:
[16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
You have already acknowledged YOUR Catholic Doctrine Does Not have NEED of Scriptural profitability.
God can use men to infallibly convey His word anytime, anywhere and as many times as He likes - such supernatural acts are not confined to the men who wrote the Bible.
So ? WHO said otherwise?
FOR Catholic Doctrine, one much search the Catholic Doctrine, recorded in Catholic written documents.
FOR Christ's Doctrine, one must search The Lord Jesus' Doctrine, Recorded IN Scripture.
All the Bible writers were effectively Catholic, because the early Church and the Catholic Church are one and the same thing.
It is of a most egregious behavior to:
SPEAK of others what they do not claim...
Especially of the Dead and buried, who themselves made no such claim.
Er, no; that is not how it works. Christ Jesus is the one mediator between God and man,
Er, that Is what I said.
the Church is “the body (and) the fullness” of Christ Jesus (Eph 1:22), who is the “head” of the Church (Col 1:18). The head cannot be separated from the body,
therefore
the Church shares Christ’s role as Mediator between God and man. However, the Church's role as mediator is subordinate to Christ’s role as mediator, since the head controls the body.
You neglected to SHOW IN Scripture...
YOUR "BUT" and "THEREFORE"...
Whereby YOU have more than ONE mediator...
1 Tim 2: [5] For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Furthermore, where does the Bible say there are not mediators between man and “the man, Christ Jesus”?
Scripture Identified The ONE Mediator Between God and men.
WOW...Do you seriously require the Excluded names of Every person ever born to comprehend the ONE mediator between God and men IS specifically and ONLY Christ Jesus?
The Catholic Church contains the "fullness" of Christ (Eph 1:22) and is the “pillar and foundation of the truth” (1Tim 3:15).
So? that is the teaching of your Catholic church doctrine.
Christ's Church and Doctrine is my preference to Trust.
