Strawman #1: “Why does Paul ask people to pray for him? Doesn’t he think he can take his own requests to God?”
I thought Romeians didn’t care for Paul. Didn’t they say that they think he is insane and should be put in a straight jacket and locked in a padded cell?
Well, dontcha know, it’s a matter of interpreting Paul correctly.
That means, if it supports RC doctrine, then Paul’s OK. If it doesn’t, bring out the straight jacket.
No, “Romeians “ did not say that.
Please do not create a false dilemma.
There was no “they”. Why are you framing this as a sweeping generalization?
Or should I perceive that you should have noted that your post was sarcasm?
True enough.
However, some of them pull every convoluted rationalization stunt in the book to rescue their idolatrous caricatured SUPER-MARY from any tarnishing.
