I simply re-quoted a passage of Scripture that one of your Roman Catholic friends had quoted.

Is it impermissible to quote Scripture? If so, rebuke your Roman Catholic friends before you start laying into me.

To respond to your question: Jesus authorizes me to relish His Word, and to share its truths with others. Do you not ponder the Scriptures? If not, I welcome you to do so.

[Romulus]

Jesus authorizes me to relish His Word, and to share its truths with others.

He authorizes you? How?

Do you not ponder the Scriptures?

Indeed I do. As a totality, not with isolated proof texts. And with the mind and guidance of the Church, whose task it is to discern and apply sacred texts. The Bible isn't a DIY manual for lone rangers.

Excuse me. I disaqree. You certainly did quote a passage of scripture,but you also used it as a evidence in an argument and based its usefulness on a decision that Paul meant the word "bread" to be understood simply and literally. I am not questioning here whether that decision be(it's national subjunctive month) sound. I am only questioning the use of the word "simply" and the assertion that all you did was quote.

What you did seems fine to my ignorant mind, but it was by no means only a quote nor in any way simple.
