I suppose that’s why they always need to refer back to Rome to understand Scripture.

Okay. What does your wisdom tell you about why so many non-Catholics need to spread falsehoods about us?

Look, enough. Here's the deal. For many of us, to use the word "irregardless" is to make an embarrassing mistake. There's "irrespective" and there's "regardless". There's no "irregardless," most people think.

Now I also had an impulse to jab you over your error, but I decided it wouldn't help anything and wouldn't move the topic.

But then you go with the old falsehood about needing to refer back to Rome to understand the Scripture. And I realize that I'm refraining from mocking someone for a real error he made, while he makes imaginary charges against me.

So that's part of what's going on here.

Why don't you tell me some more about things I never said and how I can't read Scripture? Then you could say some stuff about shrillness.

bless you for having more restraint than me (although that really is dang close to damning with faint praise...); and for the record, had it not been the irony of the ‘word’ being used in a sentence about correct definitions and such I would have kept my keyboard silent. I know there’s a place in hell for those who correct spelling and typos in emails and the net...

If you hadn’t told him, he might never have known.

LOL

Yes, all this wrangling about words only proves my original point. Romanism gets caught up in definitions and misses the context. Romanism treats the arts as science. Romanism treats form as meaning.
