No doubt developing that perspective requires a great deal of Scripture study over and above the amount of serious and prayerful study it must take to be led to the conclusion that those who witness for Christ are best characterized as 'clowns'.
I’m pretty sure that only happens to Catholics posting on the thread.
Ah. Obviously you failed to read your entire post to me. It isn’t just non-Catholics who seem at odds with their counterparts. Read the Catholics responses sometime. That was the point I was getting at. It comes from BOTH sides. There is no victim here, on either side. True “witnessing for Christ” is severely lacking. Studying the Scripture even more so. I won’t go on. Read for yourself. Who is giving Scripture and who is giving traditions of men. Who is witnessing for Christ, and who is witnessing for the Church. Reading it is one thing though, admitting it is another. Have a blessed evening.
