"I believe in the Christ of the Bible and not an idol created by the minds of men."
Are you not a man? Do you not have a mind? Or are you claiming that so long as it's not from the mind of another man?
But then you've done nothing but create God in your image!
Humility comes when you find that your opinion is meaningless in light of the Body of Christ...His Church...the one guided by the Promise that it would be taught all Truth, by the Spirit of Truth!
But when we come to the point that all others are wrong and it is only "me, myself, and I" that is correct...that should send up a red flag in our soul.
But even those polemic to Christ asked "who are you to teach us?"
There is no room in a heart filled with pride for the love of God to enter.
"I believe in the Christ of the Bible and not an idol created by the minds of men."
Are you not a man? Do you not have a mind? Or are you claiming that so long as it's not from the mind of another man?
Can you read? I believe in the Christ of the Bible, and not one created in my own mind.
But then you've done nothing but create God in your image!
Nonsense! I am very aware of, "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? Je 17:9
I search the Scriptures constantly attempting to prove the Lord right and myself wrong. I allow the Lord to search my heart.
Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!
And see if there be any grievous way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting! Ps 139:23
There is a difference between Truth and opinion. I see Truth in God's Word and the testimony of the Holy Spirit. You can let the Roman Catholic Church tell you which opinion is right and wrong. Personally, Christ has done so much for me I am going to give Him my best and not my least.
