Yes, me. I am filled with the Holy Spirit and as such He directs me and gives me wisdom and knowledge of His word (His mind).
Come out of that abomination and dead religion called Catholicism. Until you do and are born again and filled with the Spirit, this self-righteous indignation will be all you have, along with a whole lotta ritual and sacrament and what-not.
None of your verses do as you are not a true believer (being Catholic). The only thing I am to do with unbelievers is speak truth and I am not required to do it softly or quietly.
You too can know the mind of God by being born again and indwelt with His Spirit. Or you can keep your religion and self-righteous indignation and let it lead you straight to hell. Your choice, Talisker.
I hate to burst your bubble, but I am not a Catholic.
However, unlike you, I don't loathe them, hate them, or damn them, either. I'll argue with them just fine, tho. And some of them I admire as living exactly as Jesus taught.
But then, I think that way about everyone. And the reason I do is, as you put it, I too "the am filled with the Holy Spirit and as such He directs me and gives me wisdom and knowledge of His word (His mind)."
However, unlike you (yet again), I don't think this is so rare. In fact, I think God talks to everyone on the planet, constantly.
That doesn't mean people listen. Or, having heard, want to admit to themselves what they have heard.
You have condemned me to hell, jodyel, unless I accept your personal teachings, which you have declared come from God.
I hear you, jodyel. I have heard a great many people like you, jodyel.
And it is my promise to you, told to me by God through the Holy Spirit, that you shall, without doubt, and without any possible escape, fully reap what you are sowing.
Have a nice day. : )
I am not condemning anyone to hell...if they have ears let them hear.
Doesn’t matter if you are Catholic or not, Talisker....my words are the same re: Catholicism. If you choose to defend a false religion that is up to you.
I have met some really lovely Catholics here...I have some wonderful gay friends......but I do not condone their false religion nor the lifestyle of my gay friends. And I do not hate or condemn them....Scripture condemns the sin and Scripture is clear on how salvation is received.
Even though you are not Catholic, Talisker, self-righteousness abounds in your words. And, no, God does not talk to everyone on the planet...the Spirit directs and gives wisdom and knowledge of the Lord. I think it is abundantly clear by the state of the world that most of it has completely disregarded God.
You can rail at me all you like, but it does not change the simple truth of the Gospel. You must be born again and filled with the Holy Spirit to enter the kingdom of God. I do not believe anyone will ever learn that or find that in the RCC. And I stand by that.
Best to you,
jodyel
