> [@ScottRP](#): > > I do not claim to possess more knowledge than the Catholic Church. I said that on account of my experiences, **there are a few things that I can teach in more detail than many within the Church is all**. You say that I have diverged from Catholic Theology, but you have failed to show one point where this is true. For that matter, you have failed to even show one point where this might be true. - you said this earlier - (bolding mine above as below) > [@ScottRP](#): > > To the contrary, **my insight would fair exceed their understanding** of some scripture. > > I believe in the Roman Catholic Church and have found nothing wrong with their teachings. > > What I am posting here not only matches up with the teachings of the Catholic Church but **on some accounts exceeds their teaching** s. This thread truly is a win in the fight against ignorance. You sure do claim to know alot - yet you can’t be bothered to actually answer the questions put forth to you in this thread. Which is it ??? ---

You also fail to understand. Few people in this world have seen the Holy Spirit and know it was Him. I have had a seven year relationship with the Holy Spirit and Jesus has revealed Him to me twice. So when it comes to scripture like during Jesus’s baptism where the Holy Spirit came out of heaven alighting and remaining upon Jesus. Not only could I show you just how He appeared as a Halo in scripture. I can also show you a picture of Holy Spirit Himself. Try getting that from an ordinary priest in the Catholic Church. And believe it or not, none of this goes against Catholic teachings or the Catholic faith. It is expected of someone with my experience to have insight into scripture that other have not. ---

The two choices are part of scripture and is not meant as a personal attack. Any objections would be with scripture. Mathew 12:30. He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad. ---

Given that demons are known to appear as spirits of the light, how do you _know_ you were not deceived - for the express purpose of consuing would be followers? [QUOTE=2nd Corinthians 11:14] And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light [/QUOTE] Further - given that AND the admonition of Christ himself in Luke 21 - why should I listen to you? You yourself _could_ be Satan in disguise sent to lead us astray and straight to hell. [QUOTE=JESUS himself @ Luke 21:8] 8He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them [/QUOTE] ---

I have personally witnessed a great deal of the spirit world. I have witnessed all three persons the Holy Trinity. I have also witnessed angels and demons. The netherworld is filled with souls who did not believe in their lifetimes. It is sad to see them so miserable. They masquerade as something they are not because they are unhappy with what they are. They would rather live with a lie than to live with the truth. So they pretend to be something more than what they are and deceive people. ---

[QUOTE=GOD @ Exodus 33:20] But," he said, “ **you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live**.” [/QUOTE] Or you disagree with these NT authors who state, unequivicably, that he cannot be seen? [QUOTE=John 1:18] **No one has ever seen God** , but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE= 1:Timothy 6:15] 15which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, **whom no one has seen or can see**. To him be honor and might forever. Amen. [/QUOTE] ---

Why the _hell_ would anyone want to try to become a Christian after listening to Your Amazing Encounters With Jesus Christ And His Amazing Friends? Things seem to happen to you that others have close to no chance of happening to them-if they converted after listening to you they would die of boredom waiting for magical orbs to appear and emails from The Holy Ghost to pop up on their cell phone on a weekly basis. ---
