I cant believe you actually typed and sent that statement. The you have heard reference was to something people heard, aka word of mouth, aka tradition. Jesus NEVER changed what was written. Putting the sentence in the way you did appears to be intent to deceive. Again, Jesus NEVER changed what was written and I would challenge you to show me one instance.<<
>>Jesus promised a Paraclete to guide His Church.<<
Please give the scripture for that. Jesus promised the Holy Spirit and that was to all believers.
Acts 15:8 And God, who knows the heart, bore witness by granting them the holy Spirit just as he did us. 9 He made no distinction between us and them, for by faith he purified their hearts.
Falling for the line that only the RCC has that advocate or helper is once again contrary to scripture and Catholics had better remove themselves from under that deceptive regime or partake of her sins and receive her plagues.
>> If He promised an indwelling spirit to guide how do you explain so many, many different Protestant interpretations and doctrinal differences?<<
Thats a very easy one. Once again people rely on the guidance of the organization rather than rely on scripture and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. When a person is taught by error they will skew scripture to match the teachings of that organization. Look at most all of the Protestant church organizations. They still retain many of the pagan practices of the mother church they came out of.
>> Maybe those voices aren't the Holy Spirit<<
Of course they arent. Look at references to the church fathers, Luther, Calvin or any other source rather than scripture for their beliefs.
>> but something far more sinister leading away from the unity He calls us to.<<
God does not call us to unity with those who preach another gospel.
If you were familiar with the Gospel you would know that I am referring to Matthew chapt. 5 in which Jesus redefined the Ten Commandments. Were the Ten Commandments mere Tradition too?
