My point was that each of us has the Holy Spirit within us to protect us from charlatans such as organized the RCC.
Ah, but that is your opinion.
I believe the Holy Spirit leads me to find and follow Jesus through His Church.
"For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him." 2 Cor. 11:4.
What is the gospel, according to the RCC? What does the Holy Spirit do, in the RCC? If you are being led to anyone other than Christ, you do not have the Holy Spirit leading you. If you are led to Mary to intercede for you, other saints to pray to, or visions and apparitions to heal you, give you new information from God, etc., it is not the Holy Spirit leading. The Holy Spirit always leads to Christ. No one else. What about Jesus? There is a false Jesus, one who tells you works are your way to him, who distorts and twists Scripture so that no man can understand without others telling them what it means. One who leads you to destruction, one "good" work at a time. This "jesus" leads one AWAY from the finished work of Christ and leads one TO works for righteousness.
