Yes there are lots of ignorant people about, distorting scripture, in order to build a faith on the very distortions they commit.
God gives us the ability, through the Holy Spirit as our guide, to lead us into His truths. what is needed is the Holy Spirit as our authority on understanding His Word. not the Church.
INDEED.
HOLY SPIRIT IS MORE THAN ADEQUATE . . . FOR THOSE WITH EARS TO HEAR.
LOL!
There are tens of thousands of competing non-Catholic bodies, each claiming guidance from the Holy Spirit, each with conflicting interpretations of Scripture.
My God is an awesome God, He is not the schizophrenic author of numerous competing interpretations of scripture.
There can only be ONE proper interpretation of Scripture. Any "spirit" that inspires tens of thousands of competing interpretations is not the Holy Spirit.
