Sola Scriptura: The Holy Spirit does not guide us to
understand the Bible!
Illumination of the Holy Spirit to understand the Bible is a false doctrine and contrary to
"sola Scriptura": Most Protestants are as bad a Catholics and Orthodox
The Holy Spirit a!e us the Bible and e can
understand it as any other boo#$ %hy can e
understand nespapers& but not the Bible
ithout the Holy Spirit' This false doctrine
ma#es (od incapable of ritin to be
understood& hile men can be understood inthe nespaper$ It also ma#es all boo#s on
earth understandable ithout the Holy Spirit&
except for the Bible& hich e are& accordin
to this false doctrine& pre!ented from
