More than likely he would use as many passages as possible, for as long as necessary, until I got the point.
You understand this is a teaching moment with me and my father-in-law. This isn't he as a pastor preaching from the pulpit. He's retired, and I never heard him preach in front of a congregation.
I have no opinion upon whether or not the Catholic way of worship is right or wrong. That is God's decision, not mine. I wouldn't propose to speak for Him. Especially because I didn't attend seminary, or have the opportunity to become pastor or priest.
I'm sorry... I didn'trealize "He" was your father... I thought you know this pastor.
But you get my point that even a "bible-believing" pastor cannot help but to select the passages which make his point, and disregard the passages that don't. It's unavoidable, since people can't possibly know the fullness of others' arguments.
You have no idea how we Catholics roll our eyes at "bible-believing." As if we Catholics weren't bible-believing? Do you understand my point as to why Catholics don't simply cite chapter and verse?
