FK””I give you the scripture itself and you give me the Church's interpretation of it.””

No,FK, you give your own interpretations that do not line up with the Saints and early Fathers of the Church who you trusted to give you Bible cannon.

FK-””Once we become children of God, does He just leave us all alone to earn our way the rest of the way in? Reformers say “NO”.””

Catholic's agree that He does not leave us alone,but He leans on our hearts without force to grow deeper in our love for Him

We can “return to the vomit” freely on our own and allow more demons to lead us astray if we are not watchful

God Night,Dear Brother.

I wish you peace of mind!

Actually, my interpretations come much closer to what the Saints actually wrote, but you are very correct that they disagree strongly with what many of your early Fathers said. And, I'm afraid that I have never for a single moment trusted your early Fathers to have given me the Bible or the Canon. I have only ever trusted the power of God's breath to create the books, and God's Providence that the whole of God's people accepted the correct ones. All of that was ordained too.

Good night to you too, and I also wish you to have peace of mind always. Really! :)
