2000 years of holy men are wrong... .

Are you saying that 2000 years worth of holy men are wrong and YOU are right? What about your last post? Which are you? Infallible or just in disagreement with the caveat that YOU might be wrong?

There is none righteous, no, not one . . .is an error voiced by Christ Himself?

Christ didn't voice "no, not one" is righteous. Paul wrote that while quoting the Psalms attacking self-righteous and wicked Jews. And being righteous has nothing to do with error in doctrine. Being righteous is being just in God's eyes.

Perhaps you should inform Him. He could send out a retraction by angelic courier.

I believe Jesus is God. I don't need to inform Him of anything. Perhaps you should put out a retraction on your last post...

All that to say . . . I’m not very impressed by “holy men” who have any sort of titles . . . especially man given titles and positions of political power.

Well, I am impressed by them (even such holy Protestant men as Wesley). Anyone who follows God's will as the saints who have gone before has earned my respect and appreciation of what they have written about God, as I am not anywhere near as close to God as they were/are.

However, if you are infallible, I can understand better why they wouldn't impress you. We are all just peons compared to you and your all-knowing knowledge.

Regards

It’s better when you don’t put words in my fingers.

Yeah, 1600 years of some traditions of men are less right than my convictions about some Spiritual things.

Doesn’t mean I consider myself infallible at all.

Seems like there are a LOT of “EITHER/OR” handicapped folks on our forum. LOL.

Yeah, I felt I was wrong on that before I posted it but was in a hurry. But it’s still true Scripture even though via St Paul.

Oh, I think being righteous has a lot to do with being in error—especially at some point for certain periods of time and to certain degrees.

Oh, I greatly respect folks who have been more spiritually on beam with God’s highest for their lives and with God’s priorities in general . . . than I’ve managed to be.

But I still recognize them as fallible human beings.

I’ve been close to or observed at close range, rather, a number of ‘spiritual giants’ of my era. Some deserved the label. A lot didn’t.
