which I corrected?

You haven't "corrected" anything.

Don't believe me, if you think I jest. If you want to learn the truth, take a break from this forum, and pick up some of the Church Fathers and read them for yourself, rather than William Webster's out of context clips... If you dare to learn the truth. I say that because, if you are honest and open, you will be forced to make a decision - to continue to lie, or to change your opinion. And the later is more difficult, I assure you. I was there once.

I have read then and still do, having been reading them for the past 10 years, and find that Roman Catholicism distorts them, takes them out of context and reads later Roman inventions back into them where they do not exist, just as Roman Catholicism does the Scriptures and history.

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

find that Roman Catholicism distorts them

You confusion about what Rome has to say about penance and atonement is right on this page for all to see.

You have not read "Against Heresies".

As to Roman Catholic distortion, that is strictly your OPINION. Once you decide to actually read "Against Heresies", you will find out that there is only ONE valid and authorized interpretation.

Certainly, you can agree that people can read the Bible differently. What makes you the "deciding vote" on what is "distortion" and what is orthodox???

The Gnostics didn't like that line of thought, and neither do you. Sorry, but that is what Irenaeus wrote and that is what the early Church believed.

Regards
