Me: It's as clear as the nose on their faces, yet they won't believe God. Again, I take the Word of God over ANY fallible mortal or "church".

You: Gee, but I'm supposed to take the word of fallible old you? By what authority do you interpret scripture?

Me: I'm quoting DIRECTLY from the Bible - very CLEAR verses in their proper context and you still don't get it! There is no "interpretation issue" going on here. The Greek bears me out and the Hebrew bears out the truth in the Old Testament. I use God as my Authority. I'm concerned about your "authority".

Perhaps another verse from the Bible inspired by GOD could help you out:

2Tim.3:16

[16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Just trying to help you out with a gentle reproof and correction as directed by God from His most Holy Book.

Have you ever wondered why you find the Bible so offensive? Perhaps you need to think about that and Who you are really rejecting.

Frankly I see no need in continuing this exchange. No one ever saved a lost soul in your mind current frame. You need to calm down and spend some time with His Word. Read it for yourself. I can't force you to acept what God states in the Bible nor can I argue you to eternal life through words. It all must come from your heart.

Quoting from the Bible is not interpretation.

Because there's no interpretation going on, just regurgitation.

That would be the Bible given to the world through the Catholic Church, if I'm not mistaken. But let's not let facts get in the way.

It still needs to be interpreted. Latin is a wonderful language, but if you don't understand it, it's worthless to you. If the Bible alone were sufficient, then everyone would come to the exact same conclusions.

I use God as my Authority.

So do I. Teaching through the successor to Peter, not "the Church of 'nmh'".

I'm concerned about your "authority".

Don't bother. She won't fall before the gates of hell.

Please quote where I stated the Bible is offensive.

Frankly I see no need in continuing this exchange.

Because you won't/can't address my questions. Apparently St. Paul is not your kind of Christian, and Jesus was a liar.

You need to calm down and spend some time with His Word.

I'm perfectly calm. I'm not the one having a problem with the caps lock.

I can't force you to acept what God states in the Bible nor can I argue you to eternal life through words.

But but but - I thought all we need is words and we're saved.
