Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen Me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
"But I tell you the truth: It is for YOUR GOOD that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you." John 16:7
"But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you ALL things and will remind you of everything I have said to you." John 14:26
Rome is of the world as it teachings are of the 5 senses. What they can reason w/their minds and 'graven images' to see, and 'feel' religious. No different that the 'world' but they being in a church they 'feel religious' - so they assume it must be true! Faith (worldly) in a church with all the trappings of the world is not the TRUE FAITH OF GOD (supernatural).
" Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
The HOLY SPIRIT/The Spirit of God (who is not seen) is within every born again BELIEVER and teaches them God's Word as Jesus did while on earth. Exactly like Jesus taught - that's the WAY it will be when He leaves. He is The Way, The TRUTH, The Life.
Deny that at your own peril.
Wow! So much for faith ey?
