[Marysecretary]

And WHERE do I say I demand the Holy Spirit do anything, Former Lib? I prayerfully ask Him at times to show me what it means and how to apply it to my own life and situation. There is no demand here, only guidance. Ministers and priests don't always have the right answers and I'm only saying that you need to always be aware of that and to seek out the truth for yourself. You can, you know. God is more than willing to show Himself to you through His word.

[FormerLib]

God is more than willing to show Himself to you through His word.

He is also willing to do so through His Church.

I'm sorry, but relying on my own interpretation sounds as if I'm setting myself up as my own personal infallible Pope. Scripture warns us against that behavior.
