There is no evidence that the citations are from the book or that it bears nihil obstat. There isn't any indication that there is even an understanding of the concept.

"Perhaps I can scan some pages and the title etc. pages in and host them on a site that allows hotlinking."
You do that. Until then I don't believe you.

Another clear indication that no proof of nihil obstat will be forthcoming. Until you rehabilitate your credibility your words mean nothing to me, your multicolored haiku even less.

The
has lost his voice. A real man would apologize.
I don’t know that there’s that much of that level of maniliness left in the western world.
Thanks for your presenting the truth vividly.
I just want folks to learn. Errors, mistakes, sins are best learned from. That’s the only use for fertilizer.
Gross sins desperately need to be learned from.Their tuition gets higher seemingly with every succeeding go around the same mountain.
Virtually all of us have been Z Number last jerks at one time or another and some for several years running, . . . at least. The important thing is do we learn to accept Holy Spirit’s conviction within, of our sins, to confess, repent, seek forgiveness of God and man and to, by God’s Grace, live differently.
Many manage to hide their jerkishness from lots of folks . . . sometimes for a while bosses . . . maybe even some co-workers. Usually from social acquaintances and church folks. Rarely from family. Usually family suffer the most from our jerkishness. And the worst we give strangers occassionally is usually standard, routine fare that our family have to suffer from our jerkishness almost 24/7.
THAT’S what’s dreadful to me. That’s part of what fuels my fairly relentless way of being in the world—to surface such dross and encourage it’s being skimmed off by The Sword of The Spirit and burned up in the Refiner’s fire.
The Cross, The Blood of Jesus and the refiner’s fire only are able to deal with such lastingly.
I know I can seem incredibly insufferable. God seems to have made me a carbuncle on the donkeys of the world more than once and in more ways than one.
It is one of the loving services I offer. LOL.
Give me your tired, your arrogant, your brittle, your full of themselves . . . the wise in their own eyes the unhuddled unmassed prigs . . . the narrow, rigid, terminally insecure but angry and hostile. I’ll bring out the worst in them in a flash. LOL. Just one of my little gifts and talents.
How can I not.
I was trapped in some of such a personna far too long in my life. It’s a dreadful way to live.
Most seem to take years to ‘get it.’ Many never do.
Yet, one has to try. It’s the only loving thing to do.
An apology is no biggy to me. Particularly through clenched teeth. I forgive immediately regardless.
I just know it’s important to God. And to personal growth and righteousness. And to sanity and healing and overcoming. For those reasons, I don’t mind pressing the point. Such examples ought not be wasted, imho.
