The vast majority of your posts have no references and posting the references in a different post doesn’t help any.
    Some points about this style:
  1. I suggest you become more familiar with the scriptures so you can readily associate them with their location in the scroll, so to speak.
  2. If one is led by the Holy Spirit, and not walking in the flesh, the substance of the scripture should pierce the soul and spirit of a man or woman.
  3. One may know them by their efficacious substance rather than the arbitrary chapter, and verse designations.
  4. Do you hold those delimiters put in place by a Jewish rabbi and Catholic bishop are part of Holy Tradition ?

1. I am plenty enough familiar with Scripture. As I explained before, it’s about those who aren’t.

2. As bb pointed out before, combining passages of Scripture to make them say something they don’t lacks integrity. My opinion is that it more than smacks of dishonesty.

3. Irrelevant.

4. No and also irrelevant. It’s simply a convenient system for reverencing passages of Scripture so people don’t waste their time looking for it.

For the record, you have rarely even posted the BOOK of the Bible the passages are found in.

If you have gone to the trouble of finding the passages of Scripture yourself to post them, it takes precious little extra effort to add the reference so that people both know that the words are not mine and that they can find them easily if they wish to investigate further. And I DO know that. I do it all the time.

It’s simply common courtesy, thinking of someone besides yourself.
