For whatever the reason, this seems fairly appropriate:

14 Wherefore, dearly beloved, waiting for these things, be diligent that you may be found before him unspotted and blameless in peace.
15 And account the longsuffering of our Lord, salvation; as also our most dear brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, hath written to you:
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
17 You therefore, brethren, knowing these things before, take heed, lest being led aside by the error of the unwise, you fall from your own steadfastness.

-- 2 Peter 3:14-17

WHAT???!!! You mean people can misunderstand the Scriptures? The Holy Spirit doesn't move every Christian to understand everything? Amazing stuff!!!

Yes, incorrect Scripture interpretation LEADS TO DESTRUCTION! I wonder where one can get correct interpretation???

Thank God for His Church!

I think, for the sake of Advent spirituality, it is time for this Catholic to exit stage left. What about you?

Regards
