Ought to be, should be and Christian to be. My point is that you guys don't, do you? If you did, there'd be overwhelming evidence to that fact.

You are incapable of knowing that because you don't KNOW us. You know a screen name on an internet forum.

It's elementary, my dear metmom.

Besides, posting Scripture is not *outrage*. That is our defense, the Word of God, which is the sword of the Spirit.

Uh huh. It's quite entertaining when you guys combine a random verse generator with a random meaning generator. Not sure that it qualifies as a sword. And you have taught me yet another Reformational output here - that Jesus is the sword of the Spirit. Where does Scripture say that Jesus the sword of the Spirit?

Do not make this thread "about" individual Freepers. That is also a form of "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

Is your reading comprehension really that bad? Or are you really that staggeringly ignorant of Scripture?

FWIW, since when to paragraphs of Scripture count as *random verse generator*? Of course, if that's the best you can do to refute Scripture, it shows the weakness of your position.

Or does the Catholic church have classes in twisting others words and misrepresenting them?

Post 1633 to which you responded......"That is our defense, the Word of God, which is the sword of the Spirit. "

Ephesians 6:10-20 10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

13Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.

To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 19and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.
