As I said, presumptuous.

And GOD says the opposite. Do you think what you say counts? LOL!!

I spent over twenty years as a non-denominational, bible-thumping, evangelical.

All those years wasted when you could have been saying the rosary and praying to/for the dead and swallowing man made doctrine? Hopefully, you got caught up.

No knowledge of his word? Then please enlighten me on where Simeon was predicted to see the Messiah before he tasted death in the Old Testament.

I haven't met one person who can teach the unteachable.

Either that, or admit you don’t know what the term “God’s Word” means....

A catholic DEMAND! What's a day without one of those. LOL!! Try that on someone else. Not someone who is saved and blessed, blessed, blessed.

You don’t need to teach. It’s very simple. Simeon testifies while under the power of the Holy Spirit that God’s word revealed to him he would not see death before seeing the Messiah. As only the Old Testament existed at that time, either that prediction is in it, or you have to admit “God’s Word” means more than “Bible.”

There is no other alternative.
