Post 768. Since I cannot refute what I wrote, I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree and leave it at that. Or, you can explain WHY you disagree.
But if all you have is, “The Pope disagrees, so you are wrong” - well, we cannot discuss that.

The pope has nothing to do with it.I reject it because the ONLY reason to not give assent to the clear and obvious meaning is because it contradicts definitive tenets of protestant doctrine.
