Where did I make such a claim?

. Yes, the Holy Spirit works through men. The question is which men. When Jews and Christians sat down to argue the Scriptures, Christians found in them testimony to Christ Jesus. The Jews did not. We say the Holy Spirit guided the Christians, but that is because we are Christians. When Christians sit down with Christians, we may be guided by the Spirit in that we each want to know the truth. But who decides between us when we disagree? One can say that all we can do is to discuss the matter in charity until ther end of time, and it may come to that. But there are different approaches. I try to be consistent with what I have been taught and not to depart from that if I can. I think that the difference between us is not what we believe because of an special inspiration but because we have been taught differently.
