If you take issue with that, talk to the Holy Spirit about it.
Tell HIM He screwed up in inspiring Scripture.


Well yeah...
If it's the same Holy Spirit who was sleeping at the wheel for over a 1000 years,
letting the Catholic Church lead people astray
and let pagan Rome run the show for so long...
and allow the for the splintering into hundreds of different denominations
letting them each say "they" each all have the "truth" now, no one else...
if its that Holy Spirit you're talkin' about...

yeah... I want that guy fired.
Now.

—> letting the Catholic Church lead people astray

God is long-suffering.

Noah preached for +100 years, and God allowed the worst evil to continue.

Israel was horribly evil for hundreds of years before God allowed the Babylonians to come over the hill

The world has continued on in evil for +2000 years since the resurrection… but time is running out before the tribulation begins.

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”

Maybe a good place to start for any “Christian”, looking for the “truth”...

Revelation 12:17And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the REMNANT of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Keep the commandments of God, have the testimony of Jesus Christ

Many “churches” invoke the name of Jesus Christ, but they dump on the commandment requirement, as clearly seen here:

Matthew 7:21Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’

23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of LAWLESSNESS!’

As you probably know, there is one unforgivable sin: Blaspheming the Holy Spirit.

Even in jest, I would strike that comment...have it deleted and pray over it.

Seriously.

Which is explicitly NOT true.

Some, a very few in number, may say it, but as far as I have seen Roman Catholicism and Mormonism are primarily the only two religions who make that claim.

None of the evangelical churches I have attended over the years ever stated they were the sole repository of the Truth and everyone else was wrong.

TRUTH is found in Scripture, not some denomination.

No church doctrine or theology is the Truth like what is found in Scripture and any church that claims they are the only true ones need to be avoided at all costs.

Or at least de-fingered.
