I don’t “follow Barnes”. I only used quotes from him because they agreed with scripture and he put it in succinct terms and I didn’t have to type it all out.

That's the problem with citing someone outside of Scripture. Catholics are so conditioned to follow the teachings of man that it is obviously beyond their comprehension that Christians do not.

Quoting something that is more clearly expressed than I could say it is NOT *following* that person. It's at most, agreeing with them.

But no, when you reference someone else's work, Catholics are all over you like white on rice that you are one of their *followers*.

“That’s the problem with citing someone outside of Scripture. Catholics are so conditioned to follow the teachings of man that it is obviously beyond their comprehension that Christians do not.”

Given as I was a protestant and I used to do the exact same thing, I think I DO understand what is going on here. :)

How can it be beyond my comprehension?

“Quoting something that is more clearly expressed than I could say it is NOT *following* that person.”

Then why are you citing him if you don’t regard him as authoritative?

“But no, when you reference someone else’s work, Catholics are all over you like white on rice that you are one of their *followers*.”

That’s because you claim to follow sola scriptura, but not really. Because you regard the traditions of men to be equally authoritative. When it suits you.
