1. When singing a hymn you pray twice.
2. If you read it, you pray only once.
3. And who writes your hymns?

Not you, pope wrote:
This is how a common prayer after Mass begins:
"Lord, Father all-powerful and ever-living God, I thank You,
for even though I am a sinner, Your unprofitable servant,
not because of my worth but in the kindness of Your mercy..."
-St. Thomas Aquinas

And this same Holy Spirit has somehow allowed "millions upon millions of interpretations of the New Testament" (SA's Reformed Baptist Pastor Trevor Hammack) thus spawning 100s of denominations and 1,000s of independent churches when Jesus requires the Church "be one"?
Hmmm.

Now we cannot rule out Satan himself and his influence in raising cults all over the world. So it should be no surprise that Satanic and sin filled religions such as eg: the Roman Catholic idolatrous and pagan version - will write their own books and philosophies to confound the gullible and collect the religious reprobates.

Not you pope wrote:
God has Good News to get to you.
This Good News was recorded as various scrolls that were eventually set on a single shelf, put in a certain order and all spurious scrolls were set aside.
Later these were assembled in book form.
Then they were translated into English.
Now this book (including the OT) lies on your coffee table.
When you pick it up, read and interpret it for yourself, who's the final authority?
Who were the intermediate authorities?
Who were the initial authorities?
Lots of authority through the years, however as a Protestant, the final authority is you, is it not?

nyp
ever heard of the Holy Spirit???
