Proud humbled
The agnostic is not one who says he doesn't know if there is a God. 'Not knowing' is 'ignorance'.
There is a movement to redefine terms, because claims to the original meanings are indefensible.
An 'Agnostic' makes the truth claim that there is no way to know God.
In order to know that that there is no way to know God, one must have tried all the ways there are to know God, eventhe ones you are unaware of. The priests of Baal woudl cut their bellies and arms to try to know Baal. Catholic monks would hide in the desert for years. Indian Budhist priests isolate themselves for years high in the mountains. Moslems trek to Mecca. Perhaps he is known by cutting of your little toe.
So effectively the true agnostic makes a claim to a truth that cannot be known, and is a liar.
If one is merely ignorant, then it is a claim about self, not of God.
Catholics claim legitimacy by way of inheritance of the priestly offices, and by the unity of the faith.
Both of these were broken in the Great Schism. East and West churches disagreed if the Spirit proceeded from the Father or the Father and the Son. The popes declared each other anathema, or cursed.
Catholicism lost any claim to truth when their unity was destroyed.
Now they have the reputation as those who deified Mary, conquered the laity, taught Balaamisms, and imported legalism from the Judaisers, killed those who didn't believe them, hid scriptures for 1200 years, and have a long history of pedophilia.
Any ritual you perform to receive grace is pagan. Baptism is the preaching of the cross in symbols, as are the other 'sacraments'. Nicolaitans (conquerors of the laity) want power over you, so they insist that they are the dispensers of grace in those rituals.
Islam claims to be the only true religion.

Because of these religious lies, you cannot trust anything Muslims say.
Satan is the Father of lies. Shame on Islam.

And then they are rewarded with an orgy in heaven.

Islam is a lie and is of the flesh.
Before you listen to any Muslim pretending to know the Bible, ask them to show you Jesus in Ge 1.
Jews were proud of their heritage as children of Abraham with the distinction of their temple.
God humbled them several times by destroying the temple. The last time was in 70 A.D. Since then they have no claim to fame: No temple, no forgiveness without sacrifices, and they cannot call upon the name of God for deliverance since they refuse to say his name ืืืื.
Judaism no long has a truth claim.
Mormon's claim to fame is that they have two testimonies of Jesus Christ: the Bible, and the Book of Mormon.
They claim the Book of Mormon is the fulfillment of Eze 37:19.
Though most Christians dismiss the claim that Ezekiel was prophesying another book, there is actually a second book inside the first book.
Jesus said all the scriptures speak of him. We now can read them the way Jesus did. He did not see Adam, Noah and Abraham, but himself. The more of the OT that is unpacked using the first century hermeneutic, the more the claim of Mormonism is put to shame.
The secondary claim of having a modern prophet is put to shame since he is unable to read the scriptures the way Jesus did, and is unable to discern the BOM as fraudulent.
The Reformation proclaimed that all could read the scriptures.
The 'experts' of the Reformation in various flavors gathered to debate the topic of Sensus Plenior. This is a name used for the intended meaning of God in the scriptures which was hidden, even from the human authors.
The only thing that they could agree on was that they could not read the scriptures the way Jesus did.
This is a major black eye to the Reformation.
Proud Restorationists humbled [โ]
The claim of the Restoration movement was to return church practice to that of the first century church.
Since they too were unable to read the scriptures the way Jesus did, they could not actually restore anything. They simply used the extant scriptures as a lowest common denominator to effect a mini-ecumentical movement.
They have not restored the first century hermeneutic, and could not restore the first century teaching of Christ from all the scriptures.
What started as a free will submission to a lowest common denominator, has often turned into another wave a Pharisaical legalism.
