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.

You wrote, "Which is exactly what the RCC does. Feeds the 5 senses. And deceives people into believing that the 5 senses lead to the spirit."

My question to you is (in other words), do you also believe that your spirit gets fed by the senses, such as by reading (sense of sight) the written Word of God, or hearing (sense of hearing) the written Word of God?

Then I guess you haven't received Christ as your savior, because there's a whole bunch of people who make the same claim that disagree with your doctrines.

Either that or the "revelation" you claim is a lot less comprehensive than you are willing to admit.

Well, I guess you could be turning away from what the Spirit is revealing to you for the sake of your doctrines, but beside these there are no other choices that square with observable fact.
