Delusion of being a Saint...you have a poor understanding of the Word of God

Try reading God's Word on the word "Saint" - it is not reserved only for Catholics - but ALL Christian sons of God, Children of God. God's Word defines and declares who is a Saint, not men.

Ephesians 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the SAINTS, and of the household of God;

Romans 15:25 But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the SAINTS.

2 Thessalonians 1:10 When he shall come to be glorified in his SAINTS, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

Romans 15:31 That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which [I have] for Jerusalem may be accepted of the SAINTS;

Ephesians 3:18 May be able to comprehend with all SAINTS what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

Colossians 1:4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love [which ye have] to all the SAINTS,

Romans 16:15 Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the SAINTS which are with them.

2 Corinthians 8:4 Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and [take upon us] the fellowship of the ministering to the SAINTS.

Ephesians 1:15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the SAINTS,

Ephesians 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all SAINTS, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

Ephesians 4:12 For the perfecting of the SAINTS, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

Colossians 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his SAINTS:

Revelation 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of SAINTS, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the SAINTS: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Psalms 16:3 But to the SAINTS that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom [is] all my delight.

Romans 12:13 Distributing to the necessity of SAINTS; given to hospitality.

1 Corinthians 6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the SAINTS?

Psalms 89:7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the SAINTS, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

Psalms 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his SAINTS. [And that's not talking about Catholics, but real Christians who are saved by grace and the faith OF Christ]

It is the Catholics that have a delusion about the definition of a Saint. The Bible Saint is far more precious than the so called Catholic saint.

Excellent point.
