Oh, I forgot. The Holy Spirit completely turns His back on me, not just in interpretation, because I'm not Roman Catholic. I suppose when I read the Bible and agree with your interpretation, that is just me using my inner goodness? :)

I suppose this is my cue that it is time to close our conversation. I do not have the desire to listen to your continuing remarks that twist my explanations. No matter what I say, you have already decided your stance on what Catholics do and believe, so I must move on.

Regards

Oh, Come on Joe, YOU struck first. :) You said:

"The Holy Spirit doesn't lead us to read the Bible if it means separating ourselves from the community that He is the Soul, the Life Force."

I took you to mean that the Holy Spirit does not lead anyone to read the Bible if he is not a Roman Catholic. This is a very offensive statement (but I can take it), so, I answered in kind. Now, if you did not mean that, then I apologize and would ask you to reiterate in a different way.

My contention was that the Spirit leads ALL believers in faith to take in God's word, and you were disagreeing with that. What else was I supposed to think you meant?
