"Paul was the only one that had a full, personal revelation from the Lord."

Jesus told Paul everything Paul knew, but not everything Jesus knew. Given a choice between the two as to whose words are the primary source I will choose Christ and therefore be a Christian. What you do is your business.

Didn’t finish that — Now you can study medieval poetry and literary convention.

.
Since neither you nor I have the foggiest notion what Jesus knows, your retort is meaningless.

Absolutely everything is in the epistles.

I think that's an utterly indefensible statement, plucked out of thin air. They are neither "everything" nor systematic theology.

Oh, well-—it takes an old one to call out an old one :-)

What took you so long getting around to it?

It was just a little needle, not a calling out. I don't want to rattle your (old) cage.

So which is to be given the primary and which is to be the secondary or supporting role, the words given directly to us by Christ or those filtered through Paul?

Completely illogical...The red letters in the Gospels are the words of Jesus filter thru the writers of the Gospels...

The fact is: they are both primary...And they both support each other...

The truth is not important when the Catholic Church can be slandered.

When and if RC apologists ever get around to posting the truth, we'll all be the better for it.

Tick...tock...

We’ll take that as an admission that you have no proof the website is hosted by Protestants, as you wrongly stated as fact.

We don’t believe in total depravity...

Are you saying "Catholics don't believe in total depravity"?

Here's two, both of whom claim to be Catholic, who do.

(stfassisi) "In the totally depraved mind of a calvinist everything natural and normal is thought of as dirty."

(MarkBsnr) "You're just saying that because it is true."

I do recognize a perfectly stupid remark when I see it.

You many not know, but I do. Christ is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. If you can conceive of a hypostasis of the Trinity that is anything less then whatever you are conceptualizing is something less than God and therefore not God.

I have presented information from numerous sites including the wikipedia...

You mean THIS WIKIPEDIA...?

The country is historically about evenly balanced between Catholic and Protestant, with a complex patchwork of majorities over most of the country. One canton, Appenzell, was officially divided into Catholic and Protestant sections in 1597.[132] The larger cities (Bern, Geneva, Zürich and Basel) are predominantly Protestant

So your evidence does not say Catholicism was historically the predominant faith of Switzerland, and it does say Geneva is "predominantly Protestant."

I invite everyone interested to simply spend ten minutes researching the subject. They will conclude, like I have, that although there have been pockets of Protestant majority since the Reformation, the whole of Switzerland has been predominantly Catholic for the last 1200 years.

Not according to your own reference.

By any objective standard or independent research anyone on these sites can clearly and easily determine what is right and who is lying.

You got that right.

Still trying to salvage a modicum of credibility and self respect out of your disastrous postings? Forget it, this desperate attempt to create something out of nothing makes you look even more inept.

Catholics don’t believe in total depravity, if some protestants want to believe in it we’ll take them at their word I suppose. If someone believes in total depravity then their world view is obviously colored by that belief.

Just as a Catholic who believes in Baptismal regeneration had better behave like a regenerated creature... and frankly, Protestants should hold us to it.

No, I mean this one wikipedia

While Geneva was historically considered a Protestant city, there are over twice as many Roman Catholics (39.5%) as Protestants (17.4%) living in the Canton.

That is exactly the king of input I would expect with nothing relevant to contribute the to discussion. Show a little pride and try to act like an adult.
