Essentially youre saying someone who is illiterate is doomed.I am???
I guess that beats having a person tell me that I'm too STUPID to read and understand the BIBLE!
Luke 24:44-47
44. He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms."
45. Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.
46. He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,
47. and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
2 Corinthians 1:13-14
13. For we do not write you anything you cannot read or understand. And I hope that,
14. as you have understood us in part, you will come to understand fully that you can boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of the Lord Jesus.
“I am???”
Yep.
“I guess that beats having a person tell me that I’m too STUPID to read and understand the BIBLE!”
Ask your fellow Protestants if they believe in ‘soul sleep’ and they might say that is still a concern.
