Really? Quote me chapter and verse on that then.

I’m not doing your work for you, just admit you’ve never read it, and come back when you find it, yourself.

Keep open to God. God is right there with you, too.

For Real.

In Hebrew and Aramaic the Holy Spirit is feminine. The Catholic Church changed her gender in the third century. They changed, added and deleted some of the Bible that didn’t suit their mysogenistic society.

I get better arguments from Atheists.

Peace =)

Careful, Lyn. What you are posting is not consonant with forum rules for charity.

It’s good for you to be here and in dialogue with knowledgeable Catholics.
Clearly, you’ve never had these questions posed to you before, and you need to examine your answers and how you come to them…

so it would be a shame for you to be banned or suspended.

You’re right. That was rude. I fixed it, and you have a copy.

How about people actually Read the books for themselves, though.

I apologize directly to Brendan… I think it’s very unfair and rude to tell me I’m flat out wrong, if you haven’t seen where even in Modern translations, God has Maternal qualities. Feminine attributes.

Fair enough.

Now, how do you know that the CC got it right in determining which books actually belong in the Bible?

Or, are you of the position that the CC is wrong in this case? The books of the NT that are there are not actually books that belong there? And some books that are excluded should actually be part of the NT?

God tells me.

He doesn’t tell me Everything. I’m just a person. I could probably find more evidence at the library tomorrow though, if that’s what you’re asking. I’m on a cell phone. And it’s a Sunday. And I’m a homeless person.

Mentalese. It’s a Linguistic term. Do you mind Googling it yourself?

It’s kinda like praying… kinda like ~feeling~ a prayer, and then God “prays back”

It takes some practice and getting used to…

Fear not, The Lord is With you =)

So what do we do when 2 people say that God used “mentalese” to communicate with them.

One says that God told them that the CC is infallible.

You say God told you that the CC can teach error.

Now what?

So you have prayed over every single book of the Bible and received a message from God saying something like, “Yes, Lyn. The book of Hebrews is indeed inspired”?
 
Easier to do with Faith songs, for me, at times… like Alicia Keys, No One, or Nickelback Gotta be Somebody

Again, could you please learn to use the “quote” feature properly, Lyn.

Not sure what you’re responding to here.

Did you pray over every single book in the Bible and God spoke to you using “mentalese” to confirm that they do indeed belong there as the inspired Word of God?
 
You can pick an old fashioned faith song if you like, but God helps write them all, anyways =)

You and I and God are the only ones I see chatting at the moment. Is the a written rule that I have to quote you with every response? I didn’t see anyone else interject yet.

Sorry if I’m not understanding this requirements.

Do I need to do that, all by myself? I thought more of God’s faithful would help.

If you look at the statistics of this thread you will see that there have been 1927 views, and only 93 responses.

So clearly more people are here reading the posts than are responding.

This is, however, irrelevant.

It’s the nice and correct thing to do to use the “quote” feature.

That way, people know what post you’re responding to, AND people can click on your response to see exactly what was written by the previous responder.

Now, you still haven’t responded to my questions.

I am most interested in your response to how we know if God tells one person using “mentalese” that the CC is infallible but has told you using “mentalese” that the CC can err, what do we do?

Well… I started describing how to actually Speak with God, Yourself, starting with the linguistic… oh, maybe you need more education in Linguistics?

Did you Google the word? Or think I’m just making things up?

I’m a Jesuit, by the way. 40 years of training in many subjects.

Could you please repeat for me?

And that’s exactly why you should use the “quote” feature.

Clearly, you think you addressed my question but I didn’t realize it because you didn’t quote it properly.

So what do we do when someone has declared that God “mentalized” to her that the CC is infallible and God “mentalized” to you that the CC can teach error?

Ask God, Yourself.

Part of your confusion seems to be not even acknowledging that God Exists in the First place, so maybe you should start a thread about that, and I’ll join you, because this is getting off topic.

And quit twisting my words into some solipsistic sounding point of view.
