Wow. That's pretty presumptuous of you.Because you are trusting in the Catholic church for your salvation and not in Christ, you are void of the Holy Spirit and are without understanding.
And no, I'm not "trust the Catholic church for my salvation." I put my trust in JESUS; NOT the RCC.
How does what the Pharisees did apply to the topic of this thread?The Pharisees also studied the scriptures. They said that the Torah was the way, the truth and the life and was the light that lightens every man. John took what the Pharisees said about the Torah and applied it to Jesus. You have made the Catholic church your Jesus.
