No need to take offense, none was meant, so please check your hostility at the door.
My point is, given your penchant for arguing in circles and not backing your positions with scripture, we'd just end up going round and around again. Frankly, I don't have the time or energy.
You have a knack for being shown point-by-point refutations for your postitions, and only responding to one or two items, ignoring the rest. It makes debate with you pointless.
Ditto. You are under no obligation to debate or to respond to my posts. That being so, however, I do not think that you have taken me to school simply because you believe you have.
I think there is a certain degree of arrogance in presuming that you know better than the Church. Please feel free to take the Church to school with your out-of-context bible verse arguments.
I think your Protestant approach does nothing more than create more "true" denominations, as it is evidenced by the ever-growing number of such assemblies. What I see is a man-made church with self-apointed "popes," all claiming that their version of the truth is the Truth.
I simply believe what the collective wisdom of the Church has known as the Truth delivered to the Apostles since the Pentecost. If I am saying something contrary to the teaching of the Church, by all means correct me.
