You may indeed consign me to the heretic bin, for the word used means "to choose", and here are the biblical equivalents of the word in other passages. "The Truth" is what is chosen,, and not manmade rites and superstitions

Hebrews 24

By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

Philippians 1:21

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.

23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

Matthew 18

18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased

as to

Rom 16:17

now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

This is biblical teaching that Paul is refering to, and NOT to manmade teachings of the Catholic church, big, big differnce.

Actually, I call you a heretic because of your obstinate denial of the scriptures that I posted above. You repeatedly accuse us of blasphemy and yet you keep talking to us. You accuse us of heresy, yet you keep talking. You keep talking.

The verses cited above clearly state that you should make your point and then shake the dust off our feet. Frankly, you would be entirely appropriate to give our bodies up to Satan for their destruction (1 Cor 5:5).

Yet you keep talking

And talking

And talking.

That talking continually when it is obvious that you are beating your head against the wall, is vain and is against scripture.

That's my point.

And, in order to pull the beam from my eye, I'll cease here, as well.
