Pointing the way to you means pointing at others? Seriously? Christians are only to point to Christ as the way to salvation. As in giving direction, pointing towards Him who has purchase our salvation for us.

Mary is the only one who did any effective pointing. You can say you point the way to Christ, but you don't, you point AT Catholics. That is the behavior of a bully. I don't see you GIVING anything. I see you demanding that everyone be in lock step with your views alone. And you criticize the Catholic Church!

How did Mary point the way to Christ? >>I see you demanding that everyone be in lock step with your views alone.<<

I don’t demand anything. I simply illustrate what I believe scripture says. I don’t convict anyone or condemn anyone. If the scriptures I point to seem to cause you to feel “bullied” could it be because you aren’t secure in your beliefs? Never have I felt “bullied” simply because someone disagrees with me. I am totally at peace with my beliefs and free from any guilt there is no condemnation to them which are in Christ.

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

I am already “right with God” as Luke shows in Acts.

Acts 13:39 Everyone who believes in him is declared right with God—something the law of Moses could never do.

No one can cause me guilt or think to condemn me for my faith.

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." [John 5:24]

"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." [Rom. 8:1]

Have you been freed from the guilt of sin? Are you at peace with your faith in Christ? If you are, there is not one thing anyone can do too cause you to feel bullied, inferior, or guilty.

>>And you criticize the Catholic Church!<<

Absolutely. I will continue to speak out about false teaching
