If you could, could you point me to any evidence that would lead you to believe sodomite priests used Scripture as a defense for their actions?
I'm afraid that I wasn't clear in why I was making the comparison between the Catholic priests who molested those altar boys and this latest perversion. It wasn't to say that the Priests used Scripture to defend their actions, it was that their actions were just as evil as this sodomite claiming to preach the Gospel.
As Mrs. Don-o pointed out, those priests didn't try to justify their actions with Scriptural support, but that's a small comfort when looking at the bigger picture involved here. If they didn't try to justify it with Scripture, then what does it say about the RCC's bureaucracy that they were allowed to remain in the body instead of being immediately excommunicated for their evil? Look at Christ's own words about those who would hard a child.
And before you accuse me of being rabidly anti-Catholic, I want to point out that the situation here doesn't even have a Church bureaucracy to blame. This sodomite is twisting Scripture to justify his perversion and 500 people of his congregation either don't even know enough Scripture to reject him completely or give their approval of his actions. Talk about sin in the camp, we've got that showing up in spades here.
Christians, of all stripes, seem to have forgotten that the passage in II Timothy states that "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work."
Simply put, we're not to manufacture doctrine out of incomplete or partial Scriptural references, which is what happens more times than not; especially when it comes to sex or money.
Anyway, sorry about getting off on a mini-rant there. There's a time for disagreeing over doctrine and interpretation of Scripture, but when the rebellion is as blatant as it is in this instance, it doesn't even enter my mind if a person is Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant or otherwise. If they're standing on the Word of God against those wolves in sheep's clothing, then they're going to find me right there with them. I hope that clears things up a little.
