Sorry to be repetitive, but it works for me.

I trust the Holy Spirit to speak to me through Scripture. And as evidence of that process, my life is full. I sleep well.

When in doubt, I speak with other believers who give their input of the Scriptures. From this I learn to correctly discern the word of God. It's just not all that difficult. In fact, God has made His will pretty clear in my life, as He does in the lives of all who trust in His word and in the one-time, perfect, accomplished atonement of Jesus Christ.

RCs seek authority through their church, through the vagaries of men in gaudy robes and high hats, as if they could possibly speak for God Himself. This type of delusion is one from which I thank God daily I do not suffer.

My question is a *who* question; answering the question involves identifying a person or persons. Saying "it works for me" completely avoids answering the question. So please: Whose interpretation is authoritative?

This is the second time I am writing re: a post you once wrote in which you claimed you “were not anti-Catholic”.

I replied to that post by saying that you could have fooled me.

By their posts you shall know them.

Again, in reading on this thread, I will say: you could have fooled me when you wrote that you weren’t anti-Catholic.

If you are not, your posts do not present that convincingly.

Either you are, are you aren’t anti-Catholic.

John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

It really is not as complicated as we make it out to be.
