“Most Protestant pastors will tell you that when they went into the ministry that they got a call from God”
That’s what David Koresh, Jim Jones, the pastors from the Moonies; Mormons; and Jehovah’s Witnesses also say!
Koresh and Jim Jones are dead if you did not get the memo. Both cult leaders claimed to be necessary intercessors between God and man. So immediately Bible Christians know them to be false because the apostles taught differently in Holy Scriptures. Same for Joey Smith. He offered the BOM which is not Holy Scriptures.
So we "low information" types can see a wolf because we have God's Word. We don't blindly lead individuals and won't accept strange doctrines which were not taught by Christ and His apostles. Hope you grasp that now.
So we have to toss out your doctrine of "without Mary's intercession there is no salvation." Why? Because Christ and His apostles taught no such doctrine. You are the one with much to explain. Your statement claims the Holy Scriptures are incomplete in communicating God's plan of salvation which is through Jesus Christ and no other.
Claiming more than what is revealed by the Holy Spirit in God's Word is the same thing Koresh, Moon, Jones, Joseph Smith did...and what your arguments here claim.
So priests don’t get a call from God to go into the priesthood?
That explains a lot.
