All you have done is parrot Catholic propaganda. Paul wrote that men need a teacher, so non-Catholics go to school to be taught God's truth. Doctrine driven faiths depend on the doctrines of men and not God's whole truth. We are admonished by Scripture to "study to show yourself approved". This does not mean we are to study doctrine. Paul praised the Bereans for being more noble-minded than those in Thessolinica because they "searched the Scriptures daily" to verify Paul's teaching. The only Scriptures available to the Berean's were the OT writings.
I never said that you couldnt search the scriptures to verify a persons teachings. I said self interpretation of that scripture is non biblical.

As to "fear" do a search of the Catholic catechism using "fear". Fear of eternal damnation is used by the Catholic Church to enforce Catholic doctrine. Lack of space prohibits posting all the references I found by doing this very search of your catechism.
Eternal damination is used by the Catholic church because unlike many Protestant denominations who do not even believe in hell, we do.
