[SoliDeoGloria]

I apologize... I didn't see that you were responding to that post. Let me look at your logic:

** Does it not stand to reason that if the Holy Spirit (God!) is the driving force behind your inspiration and everyone elses, that you should all arrive at the same understanding? **

And how is this not applicable to the Roman Catholic Church? Do you not have the Holy Spirit inspiring you through the Church? Shouldn't ALL Catholics "arrive at the same understanding"?

[SoliDeoGloria]

** you should all arrive at the same understanding **

There is only one reasonable explanation that solves this quandary for both the Roman and protestant churches: God is allowing Christians to sin in their misbelief.

Do you disagree? Follow the logic:

1. Everything God does, He succeeds at perfectly.
2. God is actively making every Christian believe only the truth.
3. Therefore every Christian only believes the truth.

Am I wrong? Isn't this the logic you are basing your supposition upon: "the Holy Spirit (God!) is the driving force".

If you reject #3, then you must either reject #1 or #2. My guess is, you will also reject #2.

Therefore, as I stated above, God is allowing us to sin in our "misbelief". Or more directly towards the subject, the Holy Spirit is allowing our sin to get in the way of our interpreting the Scriptures.

If you want to know why...well, "Soli Deo Gloria" isn't simply a catchy phrase!
