That little fact places a rather different spin on the verse than you present. being a well known social and religious anarchist, was speaking Of Orthodoxy when he wrote this, right?

What part of The HOLY SPIRIT inspired is repellent to you?

There is no spin in God's HOLY Word. The spin comes from man's counterfeit church to make their deception fit.

Bottom line, pnsn, without our Holy Tradition, you'd have no Christian bible to thump, let alone misinterpret with your personal views.

Bottom line, Kolo - God Word's REIGNS and it's not thumped. Nullifying His Word and showing a lack of respect in reference to God's Holy Spirit inspired Word goes against the HOLY SPIRIT and that which is 'HIS'.

There is no such thing as holy Tradition - another deceptive Catholic teaching. Only God's Word is Holy and tradition nullifies that which is Holy.

Buy a clue: God's Word REIGNS - and It was here before man existed - It Always was and always will be.

Who are blessed? .....Well, certainly not me. I am among the chief sinners.

That's by choice since one can't have what one willfully nullifies. If one nullifies God's Word, there are no blessings to behold without HIM/HIS Word.

Would it be you perhaps?

Since I left the Catholic bondage I can now say.. 'I was once a sinner am now I'm saved'. Thank You, JESUS for Your Spotless Blood Sacrifice! What a blessing! So according to The Word Jesus, The Savior, yes, I am blessed. I hear and obey and don't lean unto my own understanding nor am I tainted by man's teachings/traditions.

"What part of The HOLY SPIRIT inspired is repellent to you?"

No part at all. The HS, as promised, guided the bishops of The One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church to define the canon of the Christian bible and the Fathers to properly interpret it with reference to the Holy Tradition of The Church which the HS guided the earliest bishops to teach and practice. This is called "Orthodoxia" and "Orthopraxis".

"There is no spin in God's HOLY Word."

If you mean the bible, sure there is. The Johannine Comma springs to mind. There are other examples.

"Only God's Word is Holy...."

Really? Funny, the Mohammedans say the exact same thing about Allah's Koran.

"...there are no blessings to behold without HIM/HIS Word."

Are you equating God with scripture? Don't tell me you're one of those who think when +John wrote Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν, καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος. οὗτος ἦν ἐν ἀρχῇ πρὸς τὸν θεόν, +John was referring to the bible!!!!!!!!!!

"So according to The Word Jesus, The Savior, yes, I am blessed. I hear and obey and don't lean unto my own understanding nor am I tainted by man's teachings/traditions."

Well, good for you! :) Your comment puts me in mind of an observation made by a monk about 1400 years ago, "An angel fell from heaven without any other passion except pride."

I'm still among the chief sinners....
