I don't know where you get your information, but I have never given any indication whatsoever that I see Christ's " weakness on the cross as a defeat". I see the crucifixion of Christ as a victory over sin, and death, and Satan.
We, and I assume JA is included here, are perfectly capable of thinking that Paul was not altogether himself but still able tto be used by God to present inspired Scripture.
Excellent! Then the next time prophetic Scripture, written by God through the apostle Paul, such as 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, which details the event of the Rapture of the Church, is posted on this forum, we can look forward to no contemptuous, derisive comments from Catholics?
That's very good news!
Please read what many here say against us and about the crucifix. That is where I get my information. I get it from the attacks of some Protestants.
Among Protestants there is disagreement about the rapture. Since that is so it is not clear that it is the "being Catholic" aspect which leads Catholics to disagree with the popular understanding of the rapture.
I know the rules -- or some of them -- but personally I think the kind of nonsense which passes for debate here is a disgrace to Christians, a scandal to Gentiles, and the work of the devil. Please don't tempt me to play the gotcha game. Vicious attacks among those who agree with Holy John that God is Love play into the adversary's hands.
