“Vlad, I follow the truth as well.”

No. We can’t disagree but both be right. Therefore, one of us is wrong and it isn’t me.

“Don’t let arrogance creep in to these conversations.”

Truth is not arrogance.

“You’re above that.”

I hope so, but what I am is not going to make the mistake of assuming Truth is arrogance.

“Scripture is the truth.”

The Truth is Christ. (John 14:6) Scripture is true, but it is not the only true thing.

“The church follows some scripture, some traditions of men.”

No. The Church follows the Truth - Who is a Person, Christ. He sent the Church and the Church wrote scripture under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

“You don’t know what their truth really is unless it’s scriptural, and you can interpret scripture without a group of men telling you what it is.”

Wow. Show me the verse that tells you what books belong in the Bible. Oh, that’s right. There isn’t one. So much for your idea. And yes, anyone can interpret scripture, but notice how that has led to endless competing interpretations. Right, it’s been a failure. It isn’t because of the Holy Spirit. It’s because of men. Protestantism is a man made tradition.

Catholicism is also a man made tradition. Get out from amongst her before it’s too late.
