Sorensen's defense of the Church here is weak and incomplete, and you might wish to comment on that, comments which may require Biblical references.

Last resort, 'may require'? When His Word IS The Authority in everything.

Jesus didn't come to start a religion and now you think His Word will defend it? He spoke to the 'religious' and called them hypocrites as their teachings are of man. So until that sinks in - consider yourself stuck while spinning your wheels. But kindly direct the exhaust in a different direction.

You misunderstand my words.
Like you, Elsie complained that there weren't enough biblical quotes being posted, and I simply pointed out that the thread's subjects cover the historical question of whether Roman Emperor Constantine had undue influence over the Council of Nicaea.
In the snippet you quoted out of context, I was inviting her, and now you, to make that case if you wish -- and feel free to use whatever biblical references you feel appropriate.

Sorry, but your insults are misdirected, FRiend.
