... and highly atypical of the vast majority of actual Christian Protestants.
2) Not according to what the vast majority of Protestants are posting here.
It seems contextually, that jacknhoo was stating that the interpretation imposed upon the cited Scripture was ridiculous, not the actual Scripture itself.
3) There is nothing "contextually" offered when one labels an author as ridiculous while failing to present a reasonable counter-interpretation. Relying upon "this is what the Church tells me" is not a very thoughtful response.
The problem with the fringe Protestants is that they actually believe that when they impost their understanding and interpretation on Scripture that they have altered Scripture to fit their beliefs
4) This could be said for the vast majority of Catholics who believe wrongful teaching is AOK as long as it comes from a group of old men held up in fancy digs.
You must be defining trolling more benignly than I do.

Agreed, the lunatic fringe OPC types are way over represented on these threads than their insignificant and dwindling numbers would warrant.
"Relying upon "this is what the Church tells me" is not a very thoughtful response."
It is certainly far more valid a method than relying upon "this is what the voices are telling me" or "this is what that man on the radio says before he asks me to send money" or this is what some 16th century failed French shyster said".
"4) This could be said for the vast majority of Catholics who believe wrongful teaching is AOK as long as it comes from a group of old men held up in fancy digs."
That is purely speculative since the Church is the standard for rightful teachings. I appreciate how difficult that might be to comprehend for the rudderless.
