nope, doesn't work that way....the Catholic church is indeed the spokeaman for Christ. The Holy Spirit does not come out of the woodwork and speak for God....He uses an emissary ( the Catholic Church) to speak for Him...why try to deny the obvious the truth is a couple of thousands year old...and has been studied and proved by hundreds of scholars....just not you??
I just can't keep up with the Catholic jargon.
You CANNOT quench the Holy Spirit, He does as he pleases, and as God the Father and God the Son, Jesus decide, NOT YOU!
terycarl, DO NOT [attempt to] QUENCH THE SPIRIT--1 Thessalonians 5Why what with all your histrionic unBiblical posts am I not surprised that you would take it upon yourself to speak for God on the ministry of the Holy Spirit?
No wonder you come off as so confuzed in your understanding of spiritual matters, you listen to your denominiation's teachings instead of God's.
Good grief!
