***But, if I am of the Elect, then what does it matter? I can worship the nearest rose bush, waterfall, frogs in the swamp, or moss on a tree, and it doesn’t even slow my Reformed passage to Heaven down at all, right?***
You still don’t get it, do you. Because the Holy Spirit is in me, I have no desire to do those things. I live to obey God, not worship other things like saints, Mary, the church, icons, etc.
It’s funny, ya know. Here you are trying to tell me I can worship trees and stuff, and Catholics bow to all sorts of idols.
Please don’t take this personally.
***Because the Holy Spirit is in me, I have no desire to do those things.***
Therefore, you, the individual, by extension, cannot do anything that the Holy Spirit does not direct you to.
***I live to obey God***
Therefore anything you do is obeying God.
Do you further see what problems we have with the Reformed? Would you see that anyone who claims to have the Holy Spirit indwelling them might be capable of any crimes or sins no matter how horrific?
