yours is a really funny post....you are telling me to get a copy of the Catholic Bible, with Catholic commentary and ask the Lord to guide me in reading it.......then you mention man made churhes....mine was indeed made by a man...Jesus Christ instituted the Catholic Church on the apostles.....you have Luther, Calvin, Zwilgley, Henry VIII, Joseph Smith, John Smythe, Nicholas Storch, Thomas Munzer, Menno Simons, Knox,Brown, George Fox,Jacob Amman, Wesley brothers, etc. etc etc. to choose from
Terycarl,
You have a way of twisting words unlike anyone I have seen before. I never used the word Catholic in regards to a good bible with commentary and notes...those are your words twisting mine. The Living Bible, Life Application version is superb as is the Matthew Henry Complete Commentary.
I have not mentioned churches at all except in the context of going to one to worship with fellow believers. You again have twisted my words to fit your belief system. I do not follow a church....I am the church along with other believers. Until you get rid of the Catholic mindset that has been drummed into you all your life, you won’t understand what I mean. Only the Holy Spirit can enlighten you.
All those people mentioned (Luther, etc.) came from you, not me. I never made mention of any man except Jesus and one godly pastor named Charles Stanley. He is the pastor at the First Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA and God has used his teaching ministry to teach me much about Himself. You are very, very wrong in your thinking and in your twisting of my words to suit your purpose.
If you will step back, put aside all your prejudices and whatever you have learned in the past, and want to have an honest discussion with me and the other believers on the forum, then we are here for you and will welcome that.
But if all you want to do is falsely accuse me of things I have not done or said, then there is no point in continuing. I am not here to accuse you as a person...in fact, I wish you to know Jesus as I do...personally and intimately. I disagree with the doctrine and teachings of Catholicism but I have no hatred or complaint against you personally.
