NOTHING in those passages say that Christians have individual "freedom" to personally interpret Scripture! By using Scripture, you are trying to convince me that the Holy Spirit has distributed to YOU the gift of prophecy OR wisdom or both. Well, using your twisted interpretation of Scripture...

You crack me up Wrangler. Telling me what I believe and The Church teaches. The Church doesn't teach and I have never said that God's Spirit does not function outside my denomination. Soooo, ONCE AGAIN, you are wrong. But wait a minute... :contemplate: You have been told this before sooooo...

I know. I KNOW! You have this feeling in your tummy that YOU have a "spiritual gift". You feel you have been given the gift of wisdom and knowledge!!! I get it....You have made that VERY CLEAR. Help me out here Scott. When you reveal to all of us what the Holy Spirit told YOU and what YOU...

Lol Wrangler.....soooooo good ol' Scottie is telling the truth? REALLY? Wow.... Or is Scottie telling the truth only when YOU agree with him? When you don't agree with him, he isn't telling the truth!! Me thinks THAT is the truth. ;)

Scott, I LOVE your word games Scottie. You THINK (a feeling in your tummy?) the Holy Spirit is speaking thru you. So when I mock and scoff against YOU then you THINK I am mocking and scoffing against the Holy Spirit. Quite telling indeed..... Keep watch over yourselves and over all the...

Thanks for your opinion, JDB. You are wrong in that holding Mary in high regard is a Catholic thing: Protestant views on Mary - Wikipedia You are wrong...get over it. Expensively add? Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of...

I am not refusing anything or dismissing you JDB. I acknowledged your interpretation of that passage. I just don't agree with it. To me, your interpretation does not hold "value"; that does NOT mean that "nobody has any value" in my eyes....I Just don't value your interpretation in this...

To the best of my knowledge we have covered this already sooooo there is no "elephant in the room". Mary

Oh goodness Mosheli. Someone lied to you and you didn't do any research to figure that out. THE CHURCH did 'spring up' after Jesus ascension. The Church makes doctrinal decisions for all Christians. The Church decides what Christians are to believe/practice. Jesus made those decision when he...

I know, I know. It was from the Holy Spirit! :vgood:

Dear Scott, Scripture does not promise that YOU or any other Christian can personally and properly interpret Scripture. I am not mocking you. I am telling you a FACT. You think you are being mocked because you think the Holy Spirit is guiding you personally into the proper interpretation of...

Thanks for your opinion, Wrangler. As a freedom loving person I acted per the dictates of my conscious and I pointed out that ScottA sincerely believes the Holy Spirit is guiding HIM into the proper interpretation of Scripture. So far, I am within your guidelines of what us freedom loving...

:jest: Translation: The Holy Spirit guides me in everything I say. Which makes my statement true: ScottA believes he is divinely guided by the Holy Spirit.

FYI....and you may have figured this out already.... @ScottA believes he is divinely guided by the Holy Spirit. This means no matter how much Scriptural evidence you give that he is wrong...Scott will always be right. He believes that HE can 'decipher the riddle of Scripture' and once you have...

Then why did Jesus' call Peter rock Mosheli? He used the word YOU 6 times in those verses. But for some reason some YOU don't see that. YOU and others see ME ME ME ME ME ME...Jesus is talking about ME getting the keys to the kingdom. :contemplate: Just because Jesus called Peter rock does...

Lol...Contradictions according to WHO? YOU? Here is the first "succession" written of in Scripture: 20 “For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his homestead become desolate, and let there be no one to live in it’; and ‘Let another take his position of overseer.’ 21 So one of the...

Ummmmm....YES, there is: 20 “For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his homestead become desolate, and let there be no one to live in it’; AND ‘Let another take his position of overseer.’ 21 So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in...

Hey Redfan, This is a repeat of what I said in a different post: To answer your question; Does anyone know of such an effort? Thank GOD The Church does not rely on the theology or interpretation of Scripture from one or two men. The Church doesn't because Scripture (The Council of...

Thanks Redfan, Thank GOD The Church does not rely on the theology or interpretation of Scripture from one or two men. The Church doesn't because Scripture (The Council of Jerusalem) set the precedent on how doctrinal matters should be addressed. The Church follows the teachings of Scripture...

Thanks for the clarification, Cassandra. I TOTALLY agree with you; When someone puts a laughing emoticon, I don't know if they are laughing at the cleverness, or if it is because they disagree so much it's funny to them! THAT ONE has always confused me. It's hard to offend me. No need to...
