Indoctrination and being radicalised

[Quantrill]

It is true I don't follow the Old Testament. I definitely see it is a history of the Jews. And it's all about the law. I think this is why Jesus came down to earth to talk to us directly. He wanted us to move beyond the law into a personal relationship with him. The New Testament it's definitely the Word of God. So I guess I became a sinner when I took off my veil. So be it. I will try to be more open-minded about the scripture in the New Testament. And for the sake of our conversation I will no longer use the female pronoun. I know the Holy Spirit is not female. It's just the way that I the HS when I'm just stressed. I don't think God cares how we imagine him. He just cares that we obey him for our own good. Because he loves us and he knows best. He knows much more about how to make us happy than we ourselves know. So every prayer I make I end with the words die will be done.

What passage in the New Testament do you want to discuss firs? I'd like to start with the most important things and work our way down to the mundane. Oops I mean less important.

It is my opinion that the most important book in the New Testament is the book of (Romans). Understand that the Gospels, though located in our 'New Testament', are not based on New Testament ground. They are on Old Testament ground. The Law is in place. Much of what Christ says is to a people under law as He is also under law.

If you get an understanding of the book of (Romans), you will have an understanding of the whole Bible and the Church's relation to God and Christ. If you're willing, I am willing to go through the whole book. Because that is what you need.

You can disagree with what I say, you can ask questions to what I say, but a study of that book is what you and the Church of Jesus Christ needs today. Because the truths of it have been rejected.

And yet there are so many versions of Christianity. Personally I don't think you rate Christian behaviour highly enough. And that is how we draw others to Christianity.
The saved paradigm that many non Catholics embrace is problematic in my view. One being that complacency sets in. " oh I'm saved..I can relax now. "No need to make any more effort." It harbours overconfidence imo.

There is only One way, Jesus Christ.

I thought you said we can't pick and choose. We have to love and embrace all of the Bible.

Can't pick and choose what? Show me where I said what you say I did.

All of the Bible is the Word of God. All of it. So, where have I said differently?

Don't you love the whole Bible? the whole word of God? but you actually have fave verses and books.

Great idea. When it comes to the IRS it's all about money. And we know what the Bible says about that.

That's the job of the IRS so it makes sense.
