When I left the church I had only my Bible. In the 15 years I went to a mega church I had never heard a doctrine preached . I had only vague understandings on Protestantism. I had heard of Calvin ,but I didn't know his doctrine. I have never heard of John Wesley untill 3 years ago (that was when I went to a Weselyan church..) I had heard of the TULIP for the 1st time when I learned Wesleys doctrine..but I never understood it untill a year ago

No "proud" I did not follow any man out of the Catholic Church. The truth of scripture led me out.

I am a grandma just now understanding Protestant doctrine.It is Jesus Christ crucified that I know,It is the grace of God that I know.

You guide was faulty. Not that bible but the interpretation of that bible that led you out. Its time to come home. Its time to learn real interpretation of scripture, God's interpretation of scripture, not the reformers interpretation. (And yours is not "truth of scripture" but an "interpretation".)

Start by reading what I just told you about Ignatius and John, and comparing it with your own interpretation. If yours goes against Ignatius, it goes against St John. If it goes against St John, it goes against Jesus. Interpretation which goes against Jesus is, well, you know.

Someone's interpretation of scripture was faulty, whether it was your own or that of those who led you out. Nothing in scripture properly understood leads anyone out of the Church Christ built and granted authority to interpret its own scriptures.
