“I’m pointing out the misogyny of your post. I would not expect you to like it.”

You’re really stuck on womens’ rights, aren’t you? We’re not on that subject at all.

[Petronski]

I haven’t mentioned women’s rights.

[RoadTest]

“But the misogyny just drips from a comment about how a FEMALE (gasp!) was involved.”

It’s plain you haven’t read what I’ve said.

Also, are you upset that God is masculine and directs us to go through a masculine mediator? I refer to I Timothy 2:5

[Petronski]

It’s plain you haven’t read what I’ve said.

Oh, I read it and you came through loud and clear.

Like I said, I did not expect you to like it.

“I haven’t mentioned women’s rights.”

You don’t have to. It comes out of everything you say.

[Petronski]

How seemingly angry some people get that Christ chose to be born of a woman?

Have you ever met the ones who say Mary was just a vessel?

It's creepy.

[Petronski]

It comes out of everything you say.

This is a great example of The Game. I didn't mean what I said...I didn't mean what I meant. No.

I meant what I didn't say, what YOU say I meant.

Riiiiiight.

Mark 3:31Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. 32A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.”

33”Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked.

34Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.” -NIV

“This is a great example of The Game. I didn’t mean what I said...I didn’t mean what I meant. No.

Riiiiiight. “

I don’t understand talk like this.

[Petronski]

Well, that sure proves one thing: the Bible contains words.

[Petronski]

I don’t understand talk like this.

Perhaps the daynurse can explain it to you.

[Tallguy]

My bad. I re-read the article. It makes no mention of the statue itself being moved. Don’t know how I got that idea.

[WVKayaker]

Well, that sure proves one thing: the Bible contains words.

Yeah, it's a shame isn't it? It would be wasted on somebody unwilling to hear it.

Words don't mean a thing to those who ignore them. Your ignorance is duly noted. The Word of God is fruitless unless God is speaking, according to your train of thought...

Your religions indoctrination is also duly noted.

2 Tim 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

1 Peter2: 4As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him— 5you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6For in Scripture it says:
"See, I lay a stone in Zion,
a chosen and precious cornerstone,
and the one who trusts in him
will never be put to shame."[a] 7Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,
"The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone,[b]"[c] 8and,
"A stone that causes men to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall."[d] They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.

9But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. -NIV

[Petronski]

Words don't mean a thing to those who ignore them.

I have not ignored them, I have taken note of their failure to prove any point you've tried to make.

Petronski found without head

[Petronski]

Now comes another personal attack. Like clockwork.

[trisham]

While as always I admire you for your defence of the Church and our Lady, I fear that your opponent is weaponless. It does make for an uneven battle.

Ah, well.

[Petronski]

The chief weapon seems to be personal attacks on me sprinkled with false claims of personal attacks from me.

Not really a proper weapon at all, is it?

[trisham]

No, it isn't. It's sad and laughable all at once.
