[Dr. Eckleburg]

Without the Church, people are as the eunuch. They can read the words, but not understand them.

I don't have your church, and I understand the words of Scripture just fine. In fact, a lot better than many RCs apparently.

That is because it is not the "church" that gives understanding, but God through the Holy Spirit.

"Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments...

The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple." -- Psalm 119:73,130

No eunuchs involved, except for the occasional "another Christ."

[MarkBsnr]

With all due respect, you don’t appear to. I do not discern any evidence of the Holy Spirit. I do not discern any understanding of Scripture. I do not believe that you are possessed of anything other than what casual passersby would discern of Scripture. I see no evidence of it.

The eunuch parable stands. I do not see you approaching the Church for clarification and teaching.
