So you just ignore scripture because you don't want to believe what Jesus said, nor what Paul wrote.
Ignorance is truly bliss.
No, I do not buy into your interpretation of it.
How many verses have your magisterium interpreted?
That is not relevant to this discuss. Please start a thread about that if you want greater clarification.
Your logic is seriously flawed, but that is typical of cults, they have to throw logic out in favor of their false teachings.
How is it flawed?
I told you, I do not interpret scripture. That would be YOU trying to convince yourself that my tradition is to interpret scripture.
But you do interpret Scripture. Everyone does. You may desire your opinion be on par with what God's word teaches, but that is not the case. Sorry.
It also shows that you are NOT indwelt by the Holy Spirit, because you are unable to receive Spiritual revelation. Without Spiritual revelation you are unable to understand Spiritual truths, it is folly to you.
You are to be pitied, as your relationship is not with God through the indwelling Spirit, but rather through men and their church that are devoid of the Spirit of God, just like the actions of yours Popes prove.
There it is... I was wondering when we were going to get to the "if you don't agree with me you are a reprobate" claim. Well, two can play that that game. The fact that you fail to agree with me shows that you do not have the Holy Spirit and are therefore unable to understand spiritual truths.
My sin does not increase. Your argument is with God whom you seem to believe approves of and uses those who are not redeemed and whose terrible sin brings no one to Christ.
How do I know if your sin increases or decreases... I guess I have to take your word for it... God can use anyone He wants to use. God even uses the enemies of Israel in the Old Testament.
You are living a delusion and you are against scripture:
Rom 6
6 What shall we say then? Are we to remain in sin so that grace may increase? 2 Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may live a new life.
The Church never encourages Christians to remain in sin. That is why we have reconciliation. You are misrepresenting the Church here.
Nonsense. If sin is not decreasing then God is NOT using you.
You are even now still justifying your sin. Does your sin also still increase?
I never said sin was okay in any context.
No. Why do you keep trying to sell this nonsense of "interpret scripture"
You have made that up. It is a false premise you keep trying to sell without proof.
It is not false to say you interpret Scripture because you do.
Why do you think Christ sent the Helper, the Holy Spirit? Just because you are devoid of the leading of the Holy Spirit and prefer to be lead by men who are without the Holy Spirit, does not detract from the revelation received from the Spirit.
God sent the Holy Spirit to lead His Church. What you state is false.
I gave you scripture, but you are unable to discern Spiritual truth because it is folly to you and you have to use your natural mind to interpret it the way it suits your natural mind.
Again with this... I say the same for you. Now what?
God is not a powerless entity that have left us to the devices of depraved men like your Borgia pope and others worse than even him.
You still think your Church has Christ... Your church and it's history that you are so proud of, tell a completely different story.
God did not leave us alone with a Bible, either. Besides, most Christians could not read until the mid-19th century, so a Bible would have been of no use to 99% of Christians until around 1850.
I already gave you a verse. I know it is difficult for you to understand because you have to try and interpret it, but you don't know if your interpretation is correct. Go back one post and see for yourself what Jesus says about your tradition that
The fact that you did not even recognize that I quoted scripture and Jesus speaks volumes.
What do you mean? Do you mean that secondhand stories are revealed to you as truth? How can you verify it?
13 thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do.
And I quoted 2 Thessalonians 2:15 where Paul states to stand firm in traditions he taught, whether spoken or written. Next.
2 Thessalonians 2:15
15 So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter.
Do you think your traditions of Marian prayer and adoration and making her equal to Christ does not make void the the word of God...
Mary is not equal to Christ. Next.
There is a spirit of stupor clouding your mind.
Well, I think there is one clouding your mind.... No what?
