Do you go to doctors that don't have degrees, Lawyers that have not passed the bar, yet you all are content to trust your eternal destination on your gut feelings.
John 16:13 "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.What "prots" made up those scriptures about the Holy Spirit?1 John 2:27 As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.
Fits here: Opinions and interpretations from the ignorant mean nothing
Do you think it's ONLY Roman Catholics who possess advanced theological degrees? Expertise in ancient Greek and Hebrew? Biblical knowledge? Capable of deep intellectual thinking and proper formation of opinions and interpretation? One of your own used to boast regularly that all the really "smart" Protestants convert to Roman Catholicism. Is this what you think, too?
If people are really smart - the kind that earnestly seek the truth - they know that salvation depends upon Jesus Christ and not the gut feelings of elitist snobs who presume they know everything about everything and everyone.
Christ always did say He would use the simple things to confound the wise and those with human understanding. The Catholic Church does dwell on the carnal so the spiritual understanding will never be there.
