You have no idea of my academic background.
I've asked for you to substantiate yours previously but you refuse.
“You send money I give an indulgence.”
1) There was no sending of money for an indulgence. People donated money to a person. They didn’t send money anywhere. See, you don’t even know what you’re talking about. You probably think people actually sent money off to Rome and were sent back an indulgence, right? No.
2) Even if you had no money, you were given the indulgence. Hence, no sale.
“I’ll grant an indulgence if you give money.”
I’ll grant you an indulgence even if you have no money to donate. Hence, no sale.
“It’s a sale no matter how you try to slice it.”
It’s not a sale no matter how you try to pretend it is and present no facts to show it is.
“You’re trying to argue semantics to justify your position.”
No, I’m just presenting facts to someone who apparently doesn’t know them, to someone who just showed in his last post that he can’t possibly have ever read a single book or article on the subject.
“Very typical or Roman Catholicism to have to redefine words.”
DONATE. SELL. Those are two different words. No redefinition is required. Do you know the difference between the two words? Very typical of enemies of orthodox Christianity to not know the real definition of words and apparently pretend two different words mean the same thing when they never do.
“But then again with you the Rules do apply.”
You must follow your programming, Protestant drone. You must obey. You must not actually think or read a book or do research. Obey your programming Protestant drone. Obey your programming. When presented with facts claim someone is pulling a fast one on you. Go ahead and claim two different words mean the same thing and falsely claim someone is redefining words when that isn’t happening at all. It’s a faulty program, but you must obey, drone, you must.
“You have no idea of my academic background.”
Nope. And I don’t particularly care. You’re not giving me any reason to think it’s at all substantial or worthwhile. You can’t even tell the difference between DONATION and SALE.
“I’ve asked for you to substantiate yours previously but you refuse.”
Aw, did that hurt your feelings? I know what I studied, what degrees I received, and so on. I don’t need to substantiate any of it to your liking. I don’t even remotely care about your supposed education so why would mine matter to you? You may have a whole pile of impressive looking sheepskins lining a birdcage somewhere and none of it apparently helps you distinguish the word DONATION from SALE. And that’s where it will stay.
