If this discussion is about nothing more than making you feel good about yourself, please let the rest of us know before we waste time reasoning with you.

Many may be able to reason with me, but your sarcastic tone and condescension leave you outside of that company.

It is pointless anyway, as there is little (I would say "no") standing for your position in the Scriptures, and you have already determined to rely upon your traditions... Those same traditions having no weight with me whatsoever.

You will be subjected to the Protestant "insistence that Scripture is the only yardstick of validity", by me and my fellows- A position that offers you no foundation. So why bother?

Have a nice night.

Wow. I've never run into another Freeper that actually admitted they couldn't be reasoned with if you didn't respect their vanity.

Is that self-effacing honesty, or lack of recognition?

Uhm...what part of the Cana narrative are you not getting? Is that not Scripture?

...and you have already determined to rely upon your traditions... Those same traditions having no weight with me whatsoever.

Okay, so scratch reason, Scripture, and tradition. This is getting tough. There's not much left besides "entertainment."

Hardly, in the final analysis it comes down to which Scriptures you (third person) like, and which you don't.

Jesus only mentions being "born again" twice in the Gospel of John while He mentions eating His Flesh five times, but for some reason Protestants proclaim the former, but ignore the latter. Why?

It would seem that for all the fuss over "traditions of men" the only sticking point is whose traditions, and which men.
