It does not prevent the Church and Popes from doing stupid things pastorally and administratively.
“Same goes for Copeland.”
So are you a member of church that follows Copeland or his style of preaching and teaching?, I never had you as a prosperity Pentecostal protestant. I suspected you were at the most extreme Baptist maybe a Reformed Presbyterian.
That question itself is something of a non sequitur, arising as it does from assumptions of your own, that were based not on my own words themselves, but merely your musings or possible assumptions as to what there may be further beyond what I wrote.
I owe you nothing, including explanation, but will say that Copeland in my own eyes and opinion has long been an embarrassment to the true and actual universal church. He was standing there and handy, as included in the subject matter of this thread, my speaking of him be as example for the thoughts I intended to express, as poor as example as he may be in some regards (depending upon who is asked what :^')).
With such as that in mind, if you could but know my meaning (though you may need to further assume or guess, I do admit) then my previous words need no restating.
The intent was meant as food for thought more than anything, other than some notes of humor also hoped to lighten the mood, and further enlighten if possible, more than simply jeer at the likes of Copeland, Popes, or Bishops, who as you rather humorously noted have not been able to destroy the church, regardless of how much effort and how long they have been at it.
