Dear FK, the difference is that many private interpretations of Scripture do not line up with typology and 2000 years of very consistent teaching through the Martyr's and the Saints.

I'm sure part of that's true, but I am unaware of any authority saying that typology is the first and most correct method of interpretation. I have said before that I do not dismiss typology out of hand, but I have seen many examples of it being taken too far in order to force fit a presupposition. Typology can be highly speculative.

In other words... you elevate your own interpretations above the early Christians who made up the Church ...

No, the Holy Spirit has led me and millions of others differently than the teachings of SOME of the members of YOUR early Church, especially the most powerful ones in human terms. I wholly reject your side's monopolistic claim on God's Church.

“”No, the Holy Spirit has led me and millions of others differently than the teachings of SOME of the members of YOUR early Church””

Oh,Dear Brother,don’t you realize that the gospels teach that a prophet is without honor is his own home and those early Church fathers were persecuted by those majority(your millions)

To truly stand for Christ is to be willing to suffer and be persecuted by the masses,especially in the horrible age we currently live in.

Your millions do not want to hear this message,Dear Brother

This message is NOT what the millions want to follow,including those false liberal so called Catholic’s who do not follow the teachings of the Church!
