What religion is it that tells us they (and we) can not understand the scriptures and they need a pope to explain it to them??? Anyone know???
"The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned." 1 Cor 2:14
If I couldn't understand the scriptures I'd be mighty nervous about my immediate future...
I agree. The RCC insidiously convinces too many that only the “magesterium” have the Holy Spirit and can interpret scripture. The followers of that organization out and out deny the Holy Spirit that was promised to all believers and scoff at those who rely on that indwelling of the Holy Spirit for understanding.
