Christians have a relationship with GOD - like Adam and Eve did - like God planned it. God forbid - anyone wanting a deeper relationship with ‘man’ instead of God Almighty. Satan was kicked out of heaven because of ‘his wants’.
It’s no mystery ‘who’ satan is deceiving/misleading.
INDEED.
“”NO church can teach ANYTHING OTHER than HIS WORD and claim to be His Church and Christians cannot be mislead when following HIS WORD ALONE””
Ask yourself why thousands of Churches claim the same thing but teach different from each other and ask yourself why protestant churches do not have historical interpretations of scripture other than the ones you agree with Catholics on? Face it ,protestants are modernists
Obviously someone is being mislead by following what you call God’s word alone or there would be complete Christian unity amongst you solo Scripture crowd who follow God’s word alone.
Also, When you say God’s word alone it depends on what Bible? The KJV is a mess of translation errors the NIV is even worse-so what you’re getting is NOT God’s word in many cases ,it’s an error. How do you deal with that with lack of historical Christian interpretations?
The problem most people today have is they have cognitive dissidence because of living in a modern world and they cannot relate to how things were in early Christianity..
For example..
Was the Scripture EVER given to individuals in the Bible? Did God hand out scrolls to everyone? No, God gave His Word to particular men and women, who shared it with the community at large. This was written down and shared with the future communities. The Bible is NOT EVER shown as something given to each individual of the community. If you want to follow how the early Church did things, then you ARE to comply with the leaders of the community.
I wish you a Blessed evening!
