Why don't you try something novice and read the Word for yourself

I Do read the Scripures,but I read it in line with the Church and over 2000 years of consistent teachings from Holy Saints and Martyrs.

In doing so I don't end up copying heretics like marcion as you have sadly done.

I wish you a Blessed day!

“...heretics like marcion as you have sadly done. “

Alas, dear Stfassisi, that isn’t the only heresy they have embraced.

Reading God's Word in line with the Church and over 2000 years of consistent teaching from Holy Saints and Martyrs, huh? Tells me everything I need to know.

"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (Rom. 10:17). It's the word of God that results in faith. Not what 2000 years of consistent teaching from the Holy Saints and Martyrs or the Church tell you.

And to you, grace and peace as only God can give.
