Remember your post where you stated (quoting my post)Christians allow ONLY the Holy Spirit to interpret Scripture, Catholics use men.

I do indeed remember it, however you will notice that the statement was in italics which means that I was repeating your statement... I went on to say, however that god chose some men to interpret better than others....if you put 100 people in a room, give them a scripture to interpret, do you really think that all, even though all are Christians, will come up with identical interpretations.....I'd think not.

I, and most Christians rely on help from those taught to interpret scripture, they and others before them devote their lives to studying the bible and its writings...Catholics wrote the new testament and it is a wise choice to allow them to interpret it. God used mankind to bring forth His message, to write it and interpret it so that all could understand it. To suppose that you are as capable as the learned men of church history to do so is arrogant at best.

Oh it does? Since when?

See post #336 where apparently you are saying that all the italicized words were mine?

Never would I say those first few "groups" of words, they are completely false and are just the made up ideas of men.

Remember, "Christians allow ONLY the Holy Spirit to interpret Scripture, Catholics use men."

I am a Christian, not a Catholic.
