[Heart-Rest]

It's taken deep root because the flesh has a veracious appetite to be fed. If it can be seen, felt, heard, smelled, or tasted, the flesh is satisfied. For a short time. Then it's back to the 5 senses for gratification. Which is exactly what the RCC does. Feeds the 5 senses. And deceives people into believing that the 5 senses lead to the spirit. Which is why they are so easily deceived. By "visions", "apparitions","miracles", the eucharist, sacraments, etc. All appealing to the flesh.

Wait a second here --- are you saying that when you hear or read the Bible, the written Word of God, you are doing that somehow without using any of your five senses?

Really? Must I explain?

"But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God." (1 Cor. 2:10).

If you have received Christ as your Savior, you have the Holy Spirit dwelling in your body and the Spirit of God will reveal truth to you. His Word is truth. THerefore, if you study His Word, the Holy Spirit will reveal His truth to you.

God did not say that miracles, signs, wonders, apparitions, masses, religious institutions, wafers, wine, statues, saints, rosaries, incense, chants, lighting candles, or fallible men who declare themselves infallible, would reveal His truth. He said the Holy Spirit would reveal truth. IF the Holy Spirit resides in you. And if you are saved, you are a member of the body of Christ, and the Holy Spirit resides in you.
