BTW, it seems to be Protestants on this thread who are given to posts about what "God thinks" and "as God sees it," etc.

And we post Scripture to back it up as opposed to the musings and fantasies passed of as *tradition* on equal par with Scripture that the Catholics post.

Catholics are no strangers to popsting what they think God thinks, but the problem is, they don't use any God given authoritative source, like Scripture. The church just can't legitimately make up stuff and pass it off as truth. It has no basis nor legitimate foundation without Scripture.

Just look at all that God is telling us about how He thinks and what He sees.

The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.

Your argument would be worth considering if you weren't so apparently determined to ignore and/or dismiss those verses that don't support your rather rigid positions. To pluck a verse or passage from Scripture and claim "This is what God thinks" is infantile; Scripture represents what God tells us -- and he tells us different (and often apparently contradictory) things in different verses and passages. To claim flat-footedly that "God thinks [whatever]" is either incredibly presumptuous or incredibly stupid -- or both.

Even using the locution "God thinks" is, at the very least, taking unwarranted liberties. Kosta, can we even say "God thinks"?
