Given that the passages you cited in your post were all spoken to the Apostles only,I believe it was to them He gave the promises,we so often seem to take for granted were meant for us.
I'm puzzled. Are you speaking of Quester's posts? They certainly weren't all spoken
to the Apostles. At least half of the Scriptural posts were spoken
by the Apostles.
"...when I pray I ask the Holy Spirit to conform my mind to the mind of the Church."
I know this will shock you but I must question why you don't ask Him to conform your mind to His mind?
The post I was responding to,#371,contained passages from John. They were all verses wherein Jesus was speaking to the Apostles only. The Apostles were not speaking to Him.They were listening.
I pray for the mind of the Church because Jesus promised the Apostles,that He would send the Holy Ghost,the Comforter,the Paraclete to provide in His absence.If He thought people were capable of knowing what He intended,He would have told the multitudes or the disciples what He told the Apostles.No?
