Do you think Elizabeth was feining when she was filled with the Holy Spirit and asked who was she that the mother of her Lord would come to her?
Who was she asking?
It further tells us to be on guard against being “taken captive†by hollow and deceptive philosophy which depends on “human tradition†and the basic principles of this world rather than on CHRIST !
Christ is not a book. The deceptive hollow philosophy is not the Churches, but rather those who presume on God. If He were ignoring your prayers, would you notice? I did. Now I'm a Catholic and set free from the law of sin and death.
You don't need me to tell you how vain quoting Scripture can be.
I am glad Catholicism brought you to that level of faith, but it was not Catholicism that set you free. It was Jesus.
