Colossians 1:27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
Romans 8:14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
So do you believe that only the magesterium is “led by the Spirit of God”? And would that mean that only the magesterium are “sons of God”?
Are you “led of the Spirit” or is that only the magesterium?
Galatians 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Galatians 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
So are you not living in the Spirit but only in the “natural man”?
1 Corinthians 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
Scripture tells us that “we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God”. Does the RCC tell you that you have not received that “spirit of God”? If so, I would get out of there ASAP because they have lied to you.
>>*****the whole of Scripture itself is meaningless to the natural man,****<<
The whole of Scripture is the story of Jesus and to those who reject Him, that story is meaningless.
****So do you believe that only the magesterium is “led by the Spirit of God”? And would that mean that only the magesterium are “sons of God”?
No
Are you “led of the Spirit” or is that only the magesterium?****
I believe the Holy Spirit gives each of us different gifts. I am led of the Spirit to believe in Jesus Christ as the source of my salvation and to trust in the Church He founded.
I am a child of God, his daughter adopted through Jesus, my brother.
****So are you not living in the Spirit but only in the “natural man”?****
1 Corinthians 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.****
What is freely given to us of God, is the message of the grace which flows from the cross upon which Jesus died so that we might have everlasting life.
**** 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.****
The Holy Spirit leads us to the truth of Jesus, Scripture is merely a means by which we know that truth thousands of years after the fact.
