I am not trying to denigrate your faith (although I find the arguments to be deathly boring) but since I am a Catholic, I have 2000 years worth of scholars who are far more able than I to pull together the threads of prophecy, and, if they are applicable to my faith, I am sure they will let me know.

In the meantime, I prefer to simply perform works of charity, mercy, penitence, and align myself more closely with the will of my God.

“if they are applicable to my faith, I am sure they will let me know.”

Like Martin Luther and everyone who has since joined the “reformation”, I do not sit waiting for “superiors” to translate the scriptures for me.

In the meantime, while I too “perform works of charity, mercy, penitence” I understand that those acts in and of themselves cannot “align myself more closely with the will of my God”; and therefore I do not smugly depend on them to do so.
