reyb Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 [indent]Spiritual Ignorance does not mean just the lack of knowledge because of one man’s inability to comprehend religious doctrine although that is the meaning of the word. Even the best and the brightest scholar in the entire planet, does follow he will see light of the gospel (see 2 Cor4:4) because it does not depend on one man’s proficiency or capability but on the spirit and he may forget that deception brings ignorance. We are warned by Apostle Paul and all witnesses, not to learn on our own understanding and not to let ourselves be deceived. But how can the best in the group will know that he is deceived if he will not learn to listen to the criticism of the least and also of others? While, it is true that Catholics are allowed to read and interpret the bible and also allowed to give personal interpretation and adaptation of verses on their day to day living which they called ‘bible sharing’ but still, they must not go beyond this fence of religious doctrine otherwise they will be expelled and condemned as believers of heresy. Hence, I am not surprise that for almost 2000 years almost nothing has changed in Catholicism. God is still a mystery to them while Apostle Paul said ‘but we have the mind of Christ (1Cor2:16)’.
