>>>The essentials are clear in Scripture.
Oh, in other words the “indwelling spirit” is only present for the “important stuff” God has spoken, dont worry about the “unimportant stuff”. Didnt know some words by God we pay attention, the others we ignore.
But if you want to take that tact:
The issue of “Take Eat this is my body” and “those who do not eat my flesh have no life” is certainly “essential”, no?
So how can the “indwelling spirit” that leads a believer to Truth lead Luther to one Truth in regards to the Eucharist, and other Protestants, like Zwingli, to another? One, most certainly via logic, or in this case both according to the RCC, has had a failure of the indwelling spirit. In that case, it tells me that the concept of the “indwelling spirit is present in all to lead to the Truth” is false.
If God the Holy Spirit wanted to make everything absolutely clear in Scripture, He would have done so.
He did not.
You find fault with Him??
“ The issue of “Take Eat this is my body” and “those who do not eat my flesh have no life” is certainly “essential”, no?
No... not the way you understand it by setting two different passages together as if they are one thought.
“ In that case, it tells me that the concept of the “indwelling spirit is present in all to lead to the Truth” is false.”
Sorry, but I’ll stick with what the Holy Spirit inspired in Scripture, and leave you in charity to seek.
