...”in the religion forum when Catholic issues come up, it’s education”....

I suspect you mean that one must be “educated” in the catholic faith to discern and understand catholicism...is that right?

However, since catholics themselves admittedly state that there are varied beliefs within the different branches of catholcism....which even among themselves they do not comprehend nor understand.

.... How then can you say it’s a matter of education in determining what the Bible states when in fact it’s an open book for any to glean from regardless of their education......and when you have a grasp of His word you are then able to understand “truth” when you see it..equally as much “falsehood” when you see it.

Since God’s Spirit inspired the writers of Scripture, that same Spirit can be guaranteed not to lead us to contradict the plain direction of Scripture.... It is the primary source for divine guidance in our life.

“The Lord is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him” (Hab 2:20).

“However, since catholics themselves admittedly state that there are varied beliefs within the different branches of catholcism....which even among themselves they do not comprehend nor understand.”

I have never seen such a remark from a Catholic, and any Catholic who made such a remark is not better educated in the faith than any mouth breathing Protestant anti-Catholic. There are no “branches” of Catholicism, for instance.

“.... How then can you say it’s a matter of education in determining what the Bible states when in fact it’s an open book for any to glean from regardless of their education......”

I never said that. You have just invented something out of thin air and attributed it to me. I defy you to post a single comment from me that says: “t’s a matter of education in determining what the Bible states when in fact it’s an open book for any to glean from regardless of their education......” Of course you can’t because I never once said any such thing.

Do you believe someone deliberately misrepresenting what someone else has or has not said is wrong?
