Except for the entertainment value of watching heads explode the RF on FR is a waste of time.

It reminds me of once when it was my turn to babysit the drunk tank and there were a half dozen obnoxious drunks along with four guys who were tripping on mushrooms locked up. Someone would say something they thought was profound then the loud drunks would start yelling and cursing because they saw themselves as the only true purveyors of profundity.

The mushroom crowd would settle down and verbally paint pretty pictures for one another and the drunks would settle into talking about the good ole' days, but after awhile either a doper or a drunk would be profound again and the shouting would start all over.

That crowd quoted an amazing amount of Scripture, too. Each and every one of them was positive that they and they alone knew what Scripture really meant because they were personally blessed with insight into the mind of God

>>because they were personally blessed with insight into the mind of God<<

1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever--the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you. John 14:16,17

Acts 15:8 And God, who knows the heart, bore witness by granting them the holy Spirit just as he did us. 9 He made no distinction between us and them, for by faith he purified their hearts.

Why do Catholics insist on exposing their ignorance of scripture?
