You’re projecting your own bad habits on me. Sorry, but I have the actual “trail” of posts to know I’ve challenged you on this issue plenty of times and have defined it fully, identifying who and what is involved.
Your claims are as unrelated to reality as is your claim to Christianity.
But as for me, I’ll lean on the promises of Christ, which vindicate me just as much as the Thief on the cross. Oh, my God, thou has had mercy on me, a sinner!
Now I see that you claim that God is answerable to you or else that you have assumed Gnosticism.
But as for me, I'll practice the Faith that has been handed down from the Apostles in an unbroken line that goes all the way back to Christ.

Looks like this is the end of the line for you. I’ve already seen you say both of these things earlier, so if you’re back on them again it means you’re databank is already empty on new phrases. When your programmer comes to take a look at your progress, I hope he reads this message and takes a note or two from ChomskyBot. That thing has literally trillions of combinations of seemingly understandable word combinations, and yet MarkBsnr barely got through a few dozen posts before hitting the point where he has to repeat material. It’s time for a MarkBsnr 2.0, if you ask me.
I’ll conclude with this:
Having met the Romanist on the field, he could not address the evidence that demonstrates development of Papal theology in ancient history, and not a continuous tradition as alleged by his church. He has not demonstrated why we should believe him when he says that we are not Christians.
And so, as for me, I shall rest on the Gospel promise, and pay the Romans, who neither pass into heaven nor permit anyone else to enter, absolutely no mind.
Eph 1:3-14 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: (4) According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: (5) Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, (6) To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. (7) In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; (8) Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; (9) Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: (10) That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: (11) In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: (12) That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. (13) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, (14) Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Amen!
