Claiming to know Scripture without being instructed by the authorized successive lineage to Christ lacks the fullness of Truth. Apollos was an eloquent speaker about the Scripture, had an accurate understanding of Christ, was a bold preacher, and was fervent in spirit; yet he absolutely was lacking,
Now a Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the Scriptures. This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus. (Acts 19: 24-25).
However, even though Apollos was acquainted with John the Baptist, he did not understand enough for a truthful interpretation, “being acquainted only with the baptism of John.” (Acts 19: 25). This is amazing because being acquainted with John the Baptist is being acquainted with the greatest man ever born of a mother (as Christ testified of him), yet it was not enough and nor adequate to proclaim Truth because Apollos was not taught by the authorized one genealogical line of the one bonded family Church, “Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist! Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.” (Matthew 11:11). Then two disciples who were taught by St. Paul recognized the incompleteness of the Truth in Apollos’ teaching and took courage to explain it to him. Apollos immediately let his pride down and opened his heart to the fullness of truth. Thereafter, he was taught further by the authorized genealogical Church and that made him much more fervent in his preaching of truth and spirit,
But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately. And when he wanted to go across to Achaia, the brethren encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him; and when he had arrived, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace, for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ. (Acts 19: 26-28).
Put your pride aside and put aside your personal interpretation of Sacred Scripture. Even being acquainted with someone in a line leading to the powerful John the Baptist is not enough. Personal interpretation or following the teachings of unauthorized teachers who broke off the one genealogical Church or being self-taught results in much less accuracy and less truth. It is a rebellion against the one bonded family Church that Christ designed and authorized. Let's not deceive ourselves. We have no standing to personally interpret Sacred Scripture without being fed and continuously nurtured by the uninterrupted authorized teaching by the one genealogical Catholic Church.
Furthermore, telling people about the heavenly Father is great. But making their decision and distracting them from abiding by the Heavenly God one family design and all the richness and love it provides Her children is a gross form of abuse and captivity. Christ tells us of a prodigal son who knew his biological one family led by his earthly father but abandoned and forgot them for a long time. Yet, he knew where to find them when the prodigal son returned to his senses. However, those who were exposed to Christianity outside the one genealogical family design and those whose associates planted hate and doubt about the one Catholic genealogical family have severed the children from the daily nourishing bosom of their Mother, and from the forgiveness and love of their Father and the assistance of their brothers and sisters. And that is betrayal, deception, treachery, and designing orphanages as the LORD declares, “Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the Lord, “Who execute a plan, but not Mine, and make an alliance, but not of My Spirit, in order to add sin to sin.” (Isiah 30:1). The LORD hates those that break off His One Design, “Woe to you, O destroyer, While you were not destroyed; And he who is treacherous, while others did not deal treacherously with him. As soon as you finish destroying, you will be destroyed; As soon as you cease to deal treacherously, others will deal treacherously with you.” (Isaiah 33:1).
The LORD our Father is longing for His children to gather together and worship with one faith and one sacrifice as one bonded family beginning here on earth as an iconic symbol sign of one thought, one desire, one will, and one LORD, “one body and one Spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” (Ephesians 4:4-6).
I am so grateful to be born into a Catholic family and I am so grateful that my ancestors were blessed and humble in heart to embrace Her and pass this utmost heavenly treasure to the generations. I often find myself scared of the thought that if I were not blessed to born into the one Holy Catholic Church and if it were left to me to choose, I could have possibly missed the treasure. Indeed we are one and the choices of my ancestors have impacted their generations. This realization helped me to understand Christ saying that, “without Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).
