Well it IS really a matter of who trust.....obvious that most put their trust in Rome and their Priests pretty much over what the scriptures might tell them otherwise.... because most can’t trust the Lord will do as HE said and let His Spirit teach them as promised....further most go no further then doing their Rosary beads and attending their church to hear whatever they’re told to believe.
So the end result is they never mature beyond the milk of Gods Word and remain in the infant stage. After all they can always blame the Pope or a bad Priest if they’re wrong.
“After all they can always blame the Pope or a bad Priest if they’re wrong.” I don’t think excuses will float at the Bema Seat of Christ.
