“And for that, the local priest ought to be thanking God because I would surely be a disruption since if I were a member, I would challenge every dogma, every doctrine, every sacrament, every tradition that serves as a wedge or even a veil between God and man.”
If he knows of you, I am sure he is giving thanks, A-G. Of course its likely if you started disrupting a Roman Catholic parish with your challenges, you’d be asked to leave and that would be as appropriate as it would be were I to claim to become a Roman Catholic and then attacked the various dogmas of that particular church. I am, therefore, curious as to your point.
lol,lol. I questioned everything in my church as I grew as a Christian ( still do) and I was never asked to leave. In fact, everybody in attendance can learn from questions, and it's the pastors job to present a scriptural answer. Again, you have a "church" that will tell you what to believe,and that's not a church but a cult.
We all have gifts of the Spirit.
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. - I Corinthians 12:4-11
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth [it] not, then cometh the wicked [one], and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth [it]; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. - Matthew 13:18-23
