It is the business of every called out person who has received the Holy Spirit at Salvation, IE every SAINT

That is what a Saint is

When someone hijacks the word, it becomes our business

“When someone hijacks the word, it becomes our business”

So the religion that essentially compiled the bible that you read, “hijacked” the word?

You wouldn’t have a Bible or the “Word”, had it not been for the Catholic Church. They pretty much own the intellectual property...

Catholics, too, believe that all the Lord's people, both here on earth, and those who have passed on to the life to come, are saints.

So actually, nobody "hijacked" the word. "Saints" means "holy ones." When I ask all saints to pray for me, I'll include you! We can pray for each other, can't we?

The saints in your opinion would be whom? Does mother Theresa fit the Bill? She saved so many sick, poor and helpless.
Does John Paul 2 who fought the Godless communists from the pulpit while in Poland and risked soviet reprisals for his faith count ?

Maybe Martin Luther because he nailed his thesis to the cathedral? Sounds like destruction of property to me, but hey, the Catholic Church needed a kick in the pants at that time, selling indulgences etc.

In my RC parochial grade school, we were taught that saints were the people who made it to heaven. Those are the only saints. All others including those who have been given the title ‘Saint’. Are only given a title here on earth. They may or may not really be saints.

Should the Jewish people be calling out the Christians for adding the New Testament? Should they be angry that we changed the order of the Old Testament? Should the Catholics be upset and calling out the protestants for removing seven books and parts of two more?

Take a deep breath...and leave the word “hijacking” to Jhihadis.

Well then I'd make sure the word has been hijacked.

A great many people seem to think that nothing is easier or more reliable than telling a book by its cover.
