i doubt sincerely that every joe who says he's guided by the Holy Spirit is. having seen protestant parishes split over differences in interpretation i doubt it doubly so if theres a 'bible study group' involved.

The point is there is ONE TRUTH and we are to search the Scriptures for it and have confidence that if it is God's will, we will be led by the Holy Spirit to find it.

Apparently, the EO extrapolates that quest into one which is undertaken by a hierarchy of men whom believers bow to rather than a journey made by individuals whose only mediator between God and them is Jesus Christ.

Ultimately, it's all about "to whom do you kneel?" And the more I read, the more I realize the EO and RC really do deny the work of the Holy Spirit in individuals.
