What you call a "religious organization" is The Church. We all serve The Church which is the pillar and foundation of Truth and decides if you are to be treated as a pagan or tax collector. We serve God thru The Church. Nice try though...

OK. Still has nothing to do with the context of our discussion.

Amadeus, Our discussion is not about serving God. To twist this into something it isn't is sad.

Amadeus, Soooo to answer your question: How can one ever be increased even by God if he has closed his heart and his mind? We are not talking about a person having their heart and mind closed or open to God. You are twisting this conversation around. Our discussion/conversation is about the...

Presuming is the key word...:My2c:

Dear Amadeus, your statement, two people being led by the Holy Spirit will not disagree, is true and we agree with that. That is a LOGICAL conclusion/statement. But that's NOT what we are talking about. We are talking SPECIFICALLY about your interpretation of a SPECIFIC passage, John 14:26, of...

Amadeus, I know what you meant to say, sir. The Catholic Church teaches that John 14:26 is directed only to certain persons, the apostles in particular. Why has The Church taught that for 2,000 years Amadeus? Because Scripture is clear that The Apostles were the only one's present. They were...

Got it. When you were using the word "fragments" I thought you were suggesting 1 page from an Epistle would be in 15 pieces (fragments) and those fragments numbered in the THOUSANDS. It appears that's not what you meant. I misunderstood what you were saying. I apologize. Now that I better...

Amadeus, It is not a matter of "what the Catholic Church believes about John 14:26". It IS a matter of what that passage truly means. That passage doesn't mean that the Holy Spirit is guiding "YOU into all things and bringing all things to YOUR remembrance." If your interpretation were true...

Got it. You don't have an answer as to which Church He started. You just know it is not The Catholic Church. Thank you for your time.

Thanks for your opinion amadeus. Nowhere at no time ever is there one word or one paragraph or one chapter or one letter from any Apostle or Apostolic Father (student of an Apostle) written that ever suggest, implies, hints at etc. that reading Scripture is the same as 'partaking of the flesh...

Thanks for your opinion. Which Church did he start bluedragon? Curious Mary

Thanks Bluedragon, Christ started a Church of which he said the gates of hell will not prevail against. Scripture says if a member of the church refuses to adhere to the decision of The Church that person shall be treated as a heathen and a tax collector (kicked out of The Church). Scripture...

Interesting testimony. Sounds like you have been wandering in the wilderness for 48 years. Maybe, someday, you will recognize The Church he started and attend it. Mary

I know you would give me your opinion. But you didn't answer the question! While giving me your opinion about the Catholic Church being a fraud would you be mean and disgusting while doing it? Or are you only mean and disgusting when you have anonymity online?

Lol...OK. I can see you are not a serious person. Thank you for your time.

Huh????.....I can't decipher what you said OR how it relates to my post. :IDK: Who or what is ROFL????

Dear BB Johnson, That passage from Matthew 23 is not in context with what we are talking about and does not cancel out the passages I provided. Let's put that passage to the side since it has nothing to do with what we are talking about and it only muddles the conversation. Jesus being...

Behold, I am trying to figure out if you are being serious, or you just lack knowledge of your own Christian history. I believe it is the latter and not the former since Christian history does not back up your partially quoted out of context examples. I have come to the conclusion you don't...
