The Holy Spirit doesn't work through individuals ... he works through the Church - the one, true Church - ie, the Catholic Church. Therefore there is only one "proper interpretation of Scripture" - the Catholic interpretation.That explains why outside the Holy Spirit-guided Catholic Church there exists - unsurprisingly - a chaotic and confusing mess of interpretations. ​Incorrect. The Holy Spirit has certainly "done its job" ... infallibly, in fact, through the Catholic Church.When Christians who operate outside the Catholic Church interpret Scripture, they do so without the infallible guidance of the Holy Spirit, which is why they come up with endless errors and conflicting opinions ... resulting in 45,000 different denominations.

... in which case that cynic would not understand that he is conflating two very different and separate things.1. The Holy Spirit guarantees to provide infallible interpretations of Scripture through the hierarchy of the Catholic Church.
2. The Holy Spirit does not override the free will of any human being nor prevent anyone from choosing to sin ... regardless of their position in the Church.

The first mistake non-Catholic Christians (nCCs) make is believing that the Bible is the primary source of Christian knowledge and the "pillar and foundation of the truth" ... but it isn't - the CHURCH is (1Tim 3:15). The Bible came from the Church, not vice-versa.The second mistake nCCs make is believing that the guidance of the Holy Spirit enables every individual Christian to correctly interpret Scripture and thus determine correct and full doctrine. This is nonsense ... clearly evidenced by the fact there exists an almost infinite number of different and conflicting interpretations of Scripture outside the Catholic Church. If the HS were guiding each and every nCC, they would all be expressing exactly the same interpretations ... but they don't.Furthermore, it strikes me as really odd that - despite claiming to be guided by the Holy Spirit - no nCCs has enough confidence in themselves or the Holy Spirit to declare that their personal interpretation of Scripture is infallibly correct. Ask them who has the infallible interpretation of Scripture and they can't tell you ... so much for the guidance of the Holy Spirit!Jesus said the HS "will guide you into all the truth" (John 16:13), but nCCs don't know what "all the truth" is bcoz they don't know anyone who has "all the truth"!

No need to assume ... I made that obvious in the previous post when I wrote, "non-Catholic Christians (nCCs)" I don't know. I'm not aware of anyone who believes that. The Holy Spirit is at work in every Christian, but in a special way in the bishops of the Church, and in a more special way still in the bishop of Rome, the Pope (who holds the "keys of the kingdom of heaven" - Matt 16:19).The Holy Spirit works through the Pope and the bishops to ensure that the Church's teachings are infallibly correct and are faithfully passed on to each generation.

Hilarious. Protestant myths are so entertaining. ... and for good reason. Once the masses got hold of the Bible, any ignoramus or idiot could read it and invent erroneous and heretical doctrines, stupidly claiming to be "led by the Holy Spirit".That's why there now exist 46,000 fake churches, all teaching fake Christianity based on fake doctrines based on fake interpretations of the Bible.

Thanx for the laughs.Which demented fake-church do you belong to? Are you a Calvinist, by any chance?

Where does the Catholic Encyclopedia or Catholic Church say that? A citation, please.

Is your interpretation of the Bible infallibly correct?

So what "church" do you belong to? Or are you your own "church" because you are infallibly led by the Holy Spirit?

Why reject belief in God on account of the Bible? You could reject the God of the Bible and still believe in God ... even a Creator God.

You said "I became an atheist [i][b]by reading the Bible[/i][/b]". But now you're saying something different ... it's not the Bible that turned you into an atheist - you're an atheist bcoz you can't believe in any God in any way, shape or form.You should have said that in the first place. Nope, I don't buy that. You could reject all religions and religious dogma and still believe in God. In fact, that was my position for many years, until I returned to the Catholic faith.Atheists may cite different reasons for not believing in God, but the bottom-line is they become atheists simply because they don't want to believe that there is a God.Here's how it goes:
If you want to believe in God, you'll find a way.
If you don't want to believe in God, you'll find a way.

Spoken like a true atheist.I wonder what evidence would satisfy someone who wants to never believe?

I never seen any Catholic worship Mary.

Fossils offer us only a very limited understanding of the past. For starters, they offer only peroidic snapshots of what happened ... they don't tell us what happened between the snapshots, which could be millions of years apart.Furthermore, the hypothesis that one fossil represents the evolutionary ancestor/descendant of another fossil cannot be tested.Even if it could be proven that Fossil A is the evolutionary ancestor of Fossil B, they tell us nothing about how B evolved from A.Science can use fossils in arriving at the best scientific explanation for what happened in the past, but that doesn't mean that explanation is an accurate representation of the truth. No one can prove anything, so it all boils down to believing what you want to believe.
Atheists (which includes most evolutionary scientists) religiously believe and preach the Darwinist version of history and think the god of science has all the answers ... which is bs-fantasy bcoz it's impossible for anyone to know what really happened.
