The third Bible study I led was the prison letters of St. Paul.
You cannot categorize all Catholics in such a way by saying they skip studying Paul.
But I have taught all evangelists as well as James too — even Revelation, which most people want to skip.
This year we are doing Psalms.
And so, what did you learn about Paul? You DO know that Christ spoke to him ear to ear and face to face, don’t you?
Just because you have taught something does not mean you have understanding of it.
Salvation, are you born again and filled with the Spirit? I do not think so. Your words and your tone remind me of someone using head knowledge of faith and not heart knowledge.
All Scripture backs up all Scripture. None can be taken out of context to suit us or please us or to fit what we believe. Read the whole of Scripture prayerfully and ask the Lord to reveal the truth to you...Catholic or not. Once you stop defending an organization and seek God and His truth only, the walls will start to come down and the scales fall away.
God bless,
