Yes, that’s true. It’s a mystery for now. One day we will all understand.

Love is a great minimum.

John and Paula Sandford in TRANSFORMATION OF THE INNER MAN

insist that the standard needs to be TRUTH IN LOVE.

That love without truth is useless and often even destructive sentimentality.

And Truth without love is brutality.

Love alone in such matters as ref’d is not sufficient to prevent unwitting folks being seduced into Mary worship.

imho.

In the gospel according to Petronski, yes. But scripture does tell us about his brothers and sisters.

train-wreck of a post is gibberish.

Again?

LOL

Again I answer your false charges NO.

He made an unintelligible post and I replied, saying his "train-wreck of a post is gibberish."

Not personal.

I think one of the Corinthian letters says something about love, too. :D

Let me say for maybe the 12th or 25th time . . .

I post as I’d have folks post to me—including the satire, mocking, whatever it takes remotely Christian in any stretch of the imagination—to help me see beyond my blind spots.

That’s just a fact.

I gather this is another RC effort to tell me what I think, feel, believe and do.

By the same sorts of folks so outraged when ANY Protty states any HINT of such as daring to assert any knowledge or assumptions about any one of more than a billion folks around the world just might be worshipping Mary.

The double standard strikes again.

Evidently for some.

. . . what . . . sequitur challenged? I wouldn’t know.

I have to bow to folks more expert and experienced in that department.

Quix, you are beloved of God. I am happy to pray for God to correct you, and I have every faith that He will.

But speaking personally, again, I do not see your sarcasm, satire, or mocking as “loving.” I grant that you mean it that way, and intend it for my own good. But sadly, it does not have that effect. It is turning me against all protties....

I’m somewhat aware of the RC edifice process.

It doesn’t impress me in the slightest.

It’s from the same class of folks—the political religious elite who foisted all manner of fantasies, myths and rubber histories off on religious serfs for political, territorial and financial gain.

Far from an impressive track record, to me.

The New Testament indicates that the criteria has to be whether the messenger believes that Christ came in the flesh . . . etc. or not.

And, I’d think—whether the messenger authentically calls Jesus Christ Lord of Lords and King of Kings—THEIR Lord of Lords and King of Kings.

And, does the message contradict Scripture at all, or not.

And, is there any more plausible explanation.

What criteria do you have in use to determine whether these apparitions are from God, or fallen angels masquerading as an angel of light?

Oh there were a lot of other options.

But sometimes I try to cater to folks preferences.

I don’t generally call a search for truth all that sad.
