  1. God speaks to all people through the holy scriptures, as well as by the Spirit of God convicting consciences.
  2. Did you distinguish God from the Word of God accidentally or on purpose ? Do you mean as the Father and the Son, or as the Father and the Bible ?
  3. There are not many flocks of sheep; there is one flock and the sheep are related to each other. The sheep that wander off in their own imaginationary personal relationship apart from the flock are scattered and in danger. We know that we are His sheep when we love the brethren. It is a corporate relationship, Klal Israel.

Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

That is your own little personal interpretation....dangerous.

You need the Holy Spirit to understand the Word of God, that is your problem. Those who do not belong to Christ are not able to correctly discern the Word of God.

1 Cor 2:14-16 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

You sure don’t sound like one of Jesus’ sheep nor do you sound like you love Jesus’ sheep, you love your institution, your religion, your traditions, your laws. Jesus know who are His and you think it a sect in Rome...the two don’t fit.
