Perhaps I should study and think a bit more about the place of the Virgin Mary in the economy of salvation. And what will come of that?
What would compel a person to ignore; to reject the command of God to study the scriptures and be conned into thinking the the commentary called the catechism of the Catholic religion would have more authority???
2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
On the other hand, I guess I did demote the denomination from church to ecclesial community, the ministers from fathers and brothers to separated brethren, and Protestantism in general from many expressions of the Body of Christ to a bunch of sects in imperfect communion with the Body of Christ.
This guy ought to do some serious self examination...Wonder who he figures put him in the Protestant religion, leading a bunch of sinners to, where??? To whom???
All those years teaching untruth...It certainly wasn't God who lead him to the Protestant religion and then the Catholic religion...
Obviously he didn't find God in the scriptures so he's moved on to your religion to continue his search...If God is even what he's looking for...
he was a presbyterian minister, he attended a seminary and graduated, he also used scripture alone, faith alone, scripture to interpret scripture, etc, etc. just like all protestant theological seminaries teach...and just like you seem to be asking...
he did, and finally saw the truth back home to the roman church.
