I was initially referring to your statement “
More proof that Catholics DO NOT READ THE BIBLE” That is your opinion.

Regarding the Biblical passage, I have no dispute with that message.

However, we must both realize that individual interpretation made by individuals can be false or misleading as God gave us free will to accept or reject His teaching. So the Holy Spirit can instruct our conscience, but man has his biases and is able to chose how he leads his life as moral by God's teachings or by his own interpretation.

My personal opinion is that most people need the assistance of the Catholic Church to fully understand God's Word and to achieve salvation. But even then, some do not fully accept or practice Christ's teachings.

IOW, that's your own personal interpretation at work there.

And how is your personal interpretation better than anyone else's and how does that give you the capability to judge that others are not fully accepting or practicing Christ's teachings?

LOL. We do not need the catholic church for anything. The Bible has it all. With everything I have learned on here, I do not want to have anything to do with it. I have never seen so many errors in beliefs as y’all have.
