Random Verse Generation Placemarker. Not an argument.

Yeah, I have no argument with that either.

No, I specified everything in particular that comprises Scripture.

That's certainly what you wrote. It's also utterly fatuous.

As I said before, focusing on everything is exactly the same as focusing on nothing, but without the intellectual candor.

"Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord"...NOT!

That confirms my belief that it takes training and life experience and hard work of a particular kind to understand what I wrote.

Few have it. Few do it. They don't understand.

That's OK.

I would suggest you begin by choosing just one book in the Bible and outline it verse by verse.

How?

Why not put all that training to work and diagram your reasoning, because to this poor benighted soul it just looks like you're refusing to support your conclusions without admitting to the refusal.

I HAVE to be wrong, or you would be neglecting the Scriptural command to "be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear" (1 Peter 3:15)

Like this?

[Gal 5:19-21 KJV] 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

And let's make sure "you" is "in context..."

[Gal 3:26-27 KJV] 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

Catholic haters remind me of snakes. You can always depend on them to crawl out from under their rocks at the sight of a post from a Catholic. Notice how they never post articles about sexual predators in their faiths, while Catholics have no problem calling out perverts in Catholic ranks? Why not try reading an article for a change instead of of immediately attacking the writer just because they’re Catholic.

THIS cannot be further from reality.

Almost HALF the catholic clergy is gay. They are the world's largest religious sexual abuser of children. It is minimized on FR by blaming "communist infiltration" and saying other groups have the same thing.

Christians on the other hand, condemn sexual abuse and expel the abusers.

Not sure what planet that was posted from.

Is your priest gay?

How do you know?

Have you asked him what he thinks about gays in the priesthood?

Have there been any children abused in your parish?

Have you "called out the perverts" including your priest, if he is gay??

You keep believing the Catholic-hate sites you like to frequent. By the way most are liberal sites. Religious sites with a lick of credibility will tell you that there’s just as big a percentage of sex abuse in Protestant faiths as there are in the Catholic Church. You’re blind to the truth.

Sorry NK, but you are wrong. I only read what catholic sites report about their gay priesthood.

Here is an amazing opportunity for you to call out this pervert, who destroyed lives for decades!

Wyoming bishop’s decades of abuse destroyed lives, traumatized families

"Although Hart might have been testing the waters in 1959, by the following decade he had graduated to organized sexual assault, becoming close companions with two of the diocese’s most notorious abusers: Monsignor Thomas O’Brien and Father Thomas Reardon.

"In 1989 Reardon left the priesthood and in 1983, O’Brien was sent for substance abuse treatment and had his ministry restricted, but not before first having unleashed devastation on the young Catholic boys of the diocese, according to their victims.

"By 2019, the diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph had settled 10 cases of abuse against Hart. In two settlements alone - one in 2008 and another in 2014 - the diocese has paid out nearly $20 million dollars to more than 50 plaintiffs in cases that included Hart, Reardon, and O’Brien.

"Seventy-five miles north of Guardian Angels parish, O’Brien’s home on Lake Viking was a revolving door of high school boys, many of whom worked around the parishes and were recruited for what was described as “vocational discernment” weekends. Once there, they were greeted with a buffet of vices, including free-flowing alcohol, marijuana, and pornography.

Do you call this perverted Bishop of the Catholic church out andand condemn him??

Never heard of him but I’m sure you’ll have no problem calling him out. Thanks. Now get on the web and find some shyster protestant preacher who’s been sexually abusing children his entire life. They’re there. You just got to look. But that’s not your priority. In your world it’s only Catholic clergy who can possibly be sex offenders.

When you start calling out Protestant perverts I’ll post the link you’ve already posted.

I guess it was a false statement, when you claimed Catholics “had no problem calling out the perverts.”

You refuse.

Good to know the truth.

It’s true!

You refused to condemn your bishop abuser multiple times.
