    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
