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.

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.

No more than the thousands of competing

clusters of RC’s with their own notions of what

is authentically kosher Roman Catholic dogma and practice.

This is one of the most disingenious posts I've ever received. You actually believe that your church fosters unity among believers? Have you read the Title of this Thread? And this is just TEN FACTS. Read what other Catholics say regarding any of a number of beliefs you have. One says this is what you teach. ANother comes along and says, no this is what we believe. And someone else wanders in and it's something different yet again. The only thing you all have in common are the abilities to speak one way here and another way there. Please at least have the decency to not insult the words they we clearly see posted here, day after day.

It's a do-dah parade. the first brigade goes by lock-step in some point of order, then here comes the second brigade, synchronized in another point of the same order, then here comes yet another group with another view, yet still marching under the same banner. You guys DO march under the same banner. But you need to read what is says:

WE'RE NOT SURE

JUST WHAT WE KNOW

do-dah, do-dah.

How dare you say that the proper interpretation of Scripture as handed down from Christ through His apostles is the only proper interpretation? What about Billy-Nilly and the Western-Central PresbylutherBaptist group of Scientific Christadelphians that was formed last week? Who says they don't have the right interpretation?
