NASB | 2 Corinthians 11:4 For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 11:4 For [you seem willing to allow it] if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted. You tolerate all this beautifully [welcoming the deception]. |
Subject: Beware "Another" |
Bible Note: Hi bro. Mark, No, I don't think your all wet. You may be very accurate about your conclusion regarding the Pope's intent. I am not convinced of it but I concede that your presentation and rational certainly support your thought. The one thing in your argument that does give particular support to your conclusion is that: "his words are telling us that we need the Catholic Church to interpret the Bible for us. That is fully in line with other things the Catholic Church has said." I think it is the position of the Roman Catholic Church regarding it's self-proclaimed position of authority that has lead to this thread in the first place. Again, I preach context, but I did not include the wider context of the RCC's position on it's own authority which is important. But with that said, I want to point back to the actual words of the Pope and say that I don't come to the same conclusion that you have for the reasons I gave in my previous post. Now, I also do not disagree with any argument you make. And we are back to the dilemma of being only able to speculate. I'm interested in more dialouge on this topic. Jeff |
