Oh wait! I guess he has prophesied that I’m unworthy. In fact, everyone who doubts him is unworthy. Only those who believe him with no questions asked are worthy of knowing what his ramblings mean.

I'm curious, do you recall a single instance where Jesus Christ, John the Baptist, Saints Peter, Paul, James or any Apostles EVER refused to preach to those who did not believe? Maybe this is another difference that Catholicism has (though I doubt it), but I thought the POINT of the Great Commission was to convert the nonbelievers.

This group is very odd.

Yes.

Act 19:8 And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.
Act 19:9 But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.

This group is very odd.

Funny how I had the same feeling, but the other way around...
