[Mark17]

One can explain and another can willfully refuse to understand, just like the Pharisees and Sadducees refused to accept the explanations of the Messiah.

I agree bro. One of us is going to be in deep kimchi. It’s just a matter of who. My question is, how can you and I read the same scriptures, and come away with interpretations that are completely different? How do you do this bro? One of us is refusing to understand the scripture. I will leave it to you to figure out who is in the dark. 😁 Read 1st Corinthians 2:14, and tell me what is your interpretation of it, but maybe you need a priest to interpret it for you. I do not.

Sorry if you have no assurance of salvation,...

False

Bro, stop the presses. All along, I have been told, that I cannot know if I am going to Heaven or Hell, until I kick the bucket. Are you telling me you have changed your mind in the last day or two, and are you NOW telling me, that it is ok to commit the sin of presumption, and have assurance of salvation? What changed bro? If you are now changing up, and if you now have assurance of salvation, it is truly a momentous occasion.
Hey folks. AF is now claiming to have assurance of salvation. AF, isn’t assurance of salvation a beautiful thing, unless you define it differently than I do. That is possible. Again, it might come down to reading the same verse, coming to a totally different interpretation. That seems to be the conundrum we find ourselves in. I know I have complete assurance of salvation. I am not yet convinced that you do. Set me straight bro, without randomly generating verses. 😁🤣😂🙃🛩😆💭😇

“My question is, how can you and I read the same scriptures, and come away with interpretations that are completely different? How do you do this bro? “

This is exactly why no Roman Catholic should attempt to interpret Scripture.

They screw it up because they have not put in any work to study first, no work to learn the process, no training in tools.

The best they have is what they were told and then random verse generation.

Are you telling me you have changed your mind in the last day or two, ...

No, no change in the last day or two. One can have assurance if one does what the Apostle wrote in the aforementioned scripture.

What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.

...

But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
