""Utterly in conflict with what is explicitly taught in scripture"".

Taught by you and pastor Chucky’s view of scripture means nothing

History is not on your side

” Taught by you and pastor Chucky’s view of scripture means nothing / History is not on your side”

Nor politeness on yours.

There is no scriptural support for Purgatory. That is why you quote church fathers.

Now let’s look at the progression...I’m having a polite discussion - two way exchange of views - with MarkBsnr. I’m supporting the idea that the Catholic Church did not corrupt scripture by inserting views in hundreds of years later. We also compare, without denigrating, Catholic and Baptist approaches to teaching scripture.

Into this discussion you drop in with, “It’s called leading the congregation into error by the sermon of pastor Chucky or Joey who has a worthless theology degree from Micky Mouse school of theology.”

I point out your past history of blatantly misreading 1 Cor 3 to force a reading of Purgatory...which suggests, if you missed my point, that you are leading folks into error by twisting scripture. I quote the scripture passage so any readers can see who is right.

You then respond, not with scripture, but with quotes from ‘church fathers’ and further attacks ridiculing (but not responding to) my quote of scripture.

I point out that I do not accept the church fathers if they conflict with the Apostles.

You once again ridicule my belief, but do not answer it.

If you are trying to convince folks that Catholic teaching is right, this probably isn’t the way to do it. And while I have no theology degree, let alone a mickey mouse one, nor do I have any official role in our congregation, I think I’m holding up fairly well against your learned attacks.

But of course, that is only because I’m too stupid to see the wisdom in your posts. < / sarcasm >
