I "get it from you straight"? Ummm...I don't think so. So far, it seems all you have done is ignore what I have actually said and substituted your own "interpretation" in your own words of what you think I meant. Why not stick to what I said? First of all, I didn't say Jesus was only for the Jews. I said he said he came for the Lost Sheep of House of Israel. He DID say that. But that didn't mean his words and teachings were not relevant for all. You can't understand his teachings if you don't understand their context. The same with Peter who said himself he was the Apostle to the Jews and Paul to the Gentiles. THAT'S in Scripture. I didn't make it up. All that means is help in understanding the context of what they teach.

As to the Gospels versus the Epistles, I said the epistles were "further revelation". This means they contained MORE truth than what Jesus taught during his three year ministry. Nonetheless, they are ALL Divine revelation. I do not get why you keep insisting I believe Paul should be worshiped or anyone else but Jesus. I have certainly stated unabashedly numerous times now that Jesus is who is the source of all truth - he alone is to be glorified and worshiped. Keep saying the opposite, it won't make anyone but yourself look bad.

My "logic" hasn't been destroyed, Mark, only what you think or pretend I am saying. But, go ahead, do what you want, think what you want, I can only say what I believe in the way I know how to say it.

If my paraphrasing of what you actually said does not equate to the actual intent of your postings, then please clarify. I can only go on what you actually post, not what you think that you are posting.

As to the Gospels versus the Epistles, I said the epistles were "further revelation". This means they contained MORE truth than what Jesus taught during his three year ministry.

You mean Paul's letters contain more truth than the Gospels. Hmmm. What about John? His writings refer to events after Paul, are listed after Paul in the Bible, and were written after Paul. His revelation, instead of being secret was written for all to see. Tell me why Paul so fascinates the antiCatholics, if you please.

My "logic" hasn't been destroyed, Mark, only what you think or pretend I am saying. But, go ahead, do what you want, think what you want, I can only say what I believe in the way I know how to say it.

In other words, your claims that Paul occurs after the Gospels, that Paul was written after the Gospels, and that Paul is listed Biblically after the Gospels and therefore contains MORE truth than the Gospels do not apply to John. Again, I will ask you: why do you guys worship Paul as opposed to John, if not simply following in the footsteps of the Paulian heretics of the first millennium?

It seems to be a malady amongst Catholics to accurately interpret ANYTHING.

No matter what’s posted, Scripture, CF’s, the catechism, someone else’s words, no matter how clearly stated and how concise, it doesn’t mean what it says, it means what they say or think it says.

Seeing as they cannot interpret Scripture properly, it comes as no surprise that they cannot interpret you properly either. Wear it as a badge of honor. You’re keeping good company.
