>>*****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.
Deny the indwelling fullness of the Holy Spirit by all true believers at your own peril.
