Rashputin,
Thanks for raising this issue.
“I always laugh when some idiot says the Holy Spirit is inept and incapable of keeping one Pope on the right track because that Pope doesn’t accept the “Sola Yourselfa” doctrine that says the same inept and incapable Holy Spirit leads millions of people to tens of thousands of different interpretations of Scripture.”
If the Holy Spirit is the basis for staying on track - as it is in the way your post posits this argument - then the pope’s interpretation is no better nor worse than the millions of people and tens of thousands of interpretations. Frankly, I have never personally heard anyone make the argument you posit, so I must treat it as a straw man argument.
The more important issue is that every believer does indeed have the Holy Spirit according to Scripture. Nowhere is there the position of Pope as a church office.
“Such idiots are denying their own doctrine every time they insist the Holy Spirit can’t protect the Truth and their proof is that someone who likewise claims to be led by the Holy Spirit doesn’t agree with them. “
Twice you used the pejorative “idiot”. In my experience, posters typically do this when they run out of cogent arguments. You typically post more tight arguments, which I appreciate. Admittedly, I rarely agree with your posted arguments, but they are usually better than this resort to adhominem in this post.
In any case, thank you for posting.
Blessings to you.
It's no straw-man nor is the FACT that the same base of doctrine that espouses, Sola Yourselfa, swears and insists that avowed anti-Christ Pharisees at a mythical council made up of the same people who preach that Mary was a whore and Jesus Christ is burning in Hell are the proper authority on what should be in the Old Testament.
People who prefer the Pharisees to Christ, the Apostles, and all Christians prior to Luther think anything they don't want to deal with honestly is a "straw-man" so they can change the subject and ignore reality.
Christianity changed the world, history proves Protestantism and derivitives are changed by the world.
have a nice day
