It wasn’t presented as being a direct quote from Newman.
I agree that it was not presented in the article as being a direct quote from Newman. The source was not provided at all. Which prompted me to ask:
“Who made this statement? When was it made? In what context was it made? What is the source of the statement?”
My comment that ‘it just does not seem like a statement that Newman would make’ was in response to a FReeper who wrote that the quote is Newman’s words.
I agree after going back and reading the text of the Newman site. It is a synopsis of what he touts. It is so far from Scripture that it leads itself to the conclusions of the author of this article.
But, regardless of the source, the sentiment and underlying truth is revealed. Scripture does not change. God does not change. The Roman Catholic cult changes daily and Newman demonstrates that with lofty claims but little facts!
