If the Hebrew scriptures were Christ then they wouldn't have prophesized his coming.

The fact is Scripture has been copied down by men, and translated by men and frankly biased men.

Scripture cannot be interpreted without the Holy Spirit the comforter the Spirit of Truth which Christ promised to send the church.

I happen to beleive that 330+ bishops from everywhere from England to Persia along with thousands of laity and priests accompanying them could not have gathered absent the Holy Spirit.

I think it's quite easy for a handful of protestants at a 'Bible Reading' to do so completely absent the Holy Spirit.

Do you doubt the Holy Spirit is sent to individuals? Was Jesus speaking only to the Apostles or is He giving comfort and instruction to you and me personally?

"If ye love me, keep my commandments.

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." John 14:15-18

Does Jesus only come to you through your church or does He come to you directly?

Where two or more are gathered, there am I, also.
