The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.
An evil soul producing holy witness
Is like a villain with a smiling cheek.
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"?
He sure can. That's why God's word tells us to search the Scriptures and compare Scripture with Scripture "to see if these things be so."
To pluck a verse or passage from Scripture and claim "This is what God thinks" is infantile;
lol. No one randomly plucks anything. God's word is written in black and white and made knowable to men with eyes to see and ears to hear. Pray for God to gift you with some.

I thought you just said to believe that was foolish.
-- and he tells us different (and often apparently contradictory) things in different verses and passages.
LOLOL. The last refuge of the Biblically illiterate -- the Bible is too confusing and God is a really bad author so we need a bunch of old, fallible men to tell us what the Doofus is trying to say to us.

LOLOL. This entire comment is a riot. You're asking a self-professed agnostic about the authority of Scripture???
AND you're expressing doubt that "God thinks."
lolol. Thanks. This has been fun.

And Jesus did too.
Here are links to all the verses which contain *It is written* and *Scripture* in the New Testament alone.

When did Jesus ever appeal to tradition to back Himself up? Jesus and those you call the church fathers appealed to Scripture to verify themselves.
Better watch it there. You’re treading on dangerous ground implying that those who appeal to the authority of Scripture are from Satan. The Pharisees called Jesus demon possessed as well.
And the quote you provided, which you didn’t even link to, is NOT Scripture. How in character.
Why am I not surprised?
Just like Rome..bend and twist, cherry pick scripture out of context or make up traditions to make doctrine
If one can not see that the catholic church bears no resemblance to the NT church Christ founded they are blinded
Of course not. That is anthropomorphism.
What next? Are you going to tell us now that God doesn't think?
Have at it. This ought to be good...
So.... Does God think?
That ought to be a simple yes or no question, but if you choose to explain your statement, that will do also. I'm all ears....
Psst, gamecock.... Another one for your homepage.
