The "men" who authored the Bible--God breathed the words through them via the Holy Spirit. That is why we pray for the Holy Spirit to quicken understanding to us when we read this book.

King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)


Proverbs 3:5

Trust in the LORD with all thine
heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Key to understanding: The Holy Spirit interprets.

"Key to understanding: The Holy Spirit interprets."

Then why does Protestantism deny the possibility of the Holy Spirit interpreting by or through the Magisterium, in effect denying the Episcopacy of the Catholic Church what it claims for every other believer, and insist that it only be done by the individual while ignoring the thousands of different interpretations produced?

Peace and Blessings.

The Holy Spirit interprets infallibly , through men. The question is, which men? The sins, some might ? But who are the saints? The Puritans devoted their whole lives to wondering whether they were among the elect, and dared not boast that they were.
