Calm down, stop ranting, climb off your pulpit and take a valium or three.
If I were interested in being preached at by you, I would join your church. Clearly I haven’t done that because I don’t believe the same as you do, and have no interest in doing so. And no, I do not want one of your tracts, thanks.
And I have no interest in the theosphological remifications of your arguments: I have a Faith, not a Religion.
I have no need to understand how many angels may dance on the head of a pin: you seem to think this sort of discussion is important. I don’t. I find it a bore, actually, and an unprofitable waste of time.
If you have quibbles with the Catholic faith, take it up with the Catholics. If you have difficulty with anything I’ve posted, well, talk to the hand: Hippocleides cares not.
Your time would be better spent knocking on doors and peddling your tracts to someone else.

Since Jesus words conflict with what’s in your mind, it’s undoubtedly because your understanding came by human wisdom and human philosophy. And worldly wisdom and worldly philosophy.
Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit,
after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Cor 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
1 Cor 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
1 Cor 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
1 Cor 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
1 Cor 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Rejecting Jesus words can also happen by conforming to the world.
Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Hippocleides ?? I don’t see him in the Bible. Oh wait, I looked him up at Wikipedia. He was a drunk at a Greek party.
In a discussion about Jesus and His words you interject a drunk at a Greek party ??
To do such is to make a mockery of Jesus and His words.
It seems you have lost your mind - your mind of Christ that is.
Phil 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
After I posted Jesus own words, you followed up with attacks and derisive comments.
Well, the comments are meaningless to me, but certainly are rebellious towards Jesus and His words.
You have to take responsibility for whatever you post.
Your pattern is to consistently blame your error on the catholics.
Keep in mind that every time you post you reveal the true nature within.
Your words are a mirror of what’s within your heart.
Anything you write should be to glorify Jesus.
With your reference to a drunk, an urge to study evolution, and having a human philosophy regarding Jesus, your posts are more fitting for the Philosophy Forum rather than the Religion Forum.
