Again, we know each of us receives a unique spiritual gift from the Holy Spirit and not all receive the same gift. But Jesus selected 12 people to be special leaders. He gave them special teaching, experiences, and prayed special prayers for them. He promised the Spirit would come to guide them. He prayed they would remain united in the faith. Scripture also tells us to avoid those who create dissension: Rom 16:17.

Read the words I wrote again. Then read the Scripture passages I have cited. They can’t be twisted. All Christians receive spiritual gifts from the Holy Spirit. But the leadership of the Catholic Church, the successors of Peter’s authority receive guidance by the Holy Spirit. Luke 10:16, John 14:16 and 26, John 16:13, 1 Tim 3:15.

And Catholics have the best, most complete, most divine Bible of all available to them. Not the one men have defaced and defiled to suit their whims/weaknesses. Truly, the Catholic Church is marked in all ways as Christ’s one, true Church!

And then they died.

Even your Bible is better than everyone else's?

Even with the apocryphal books they added to the Jewish Scripture that the Jews never recognized as Scripture, that were added at the Council of Trent that happened AFTER Luther translated the Bible from what was accepted canon for the day? The apocryphal books that have the errors in them?
