Yes your psychological condition is evident I see you are now using a Roman phrase to put down those you cannot prove wrong.

Who is "we"? Everyone who agrees with your view?

ALL claim the leading of God's spirit so .... the claim is not enough or we would not have so many divergent beliefs.
This is true, and just a cheap way of trying to convince others what you say is the truth. I have said this before and i will say this again, the Light of the glorious gospel went to a flicker, it began to slowly shine again through Luther's revelation, but the Lutherans organized around his revelation and said this is all there is, and throughout the ages this as happened as the Light of the glorious gospel began shining bright again. Now what you see when you read this forum from fundamentalists especially is that they have all the truth and you cannot show them anything more(again proof you are in an organized religion), because history proves the light went dim, then began to dawn again, we have far greater understanding of the scriptures and ways of God today because the Light is shining brighter, there is more to come. One thing is guaranteed that is whatever is coming will be rejected vehemently by the bible believing fundamentalists, but fundamentalists in the future will believe what their counterparts are rejecting today.

Still trying to barbeque those pigs, I see! It is not a Roman phrase . . . it is quite characteristic of the Protestant Reform. There are several Sola's.

From one who acts as if they have all the truth and cannot be taught anything this is a strange accusation you make.

You obviously have very low esteem and have to constantly attack others to make yourself feel like you have some worth. So sad.

You think that because you know i am grounded in what i believe for myself.
But........ I won't to go record to say that i haven't and that i believe we are only scratching the surface of what is hidden within the scriptures.

What part did you disagree with ?. That all fundamentalists believe they know all there is to know about truth? Or that we haven't scratched the surface in regard to truth. The light of the truth of Universal Reconciliation went to a flicker, but now is burning bright, but UR is not the whole Light of the glorious gospel, a d the reason i have never said that i am a universalist.

The question I asked from you is here:

Was MysticPhD only taking a cheap way of trying to convince others what you say is the truth?

Yes. I negates the purpose of the New Covenant to bring the "precepts and doctrines of men" into any questioning of the heart under the guidance of the Comforter. The words "written in ink" and the "letter killteh" . . . but the Spirit "giveth life."
