Meant to ping you to #1109,my apologies
NO apologies necessary. We really cannot expect those who selectively excerpt Scripture to support a false doctrine to be any more judicious when it comes to the Church Fathers or even the selective citation of our own posts. In this very thread we have been told that we must "rightly divide Scripture" and run it through the Protestant sausage machine because if we attempt to take it in its totality we end up with "one big mess", which is another reference to the Catholic Church. (Go figure, now we are being accused by those who say we never use Scripture of using too much of it.) I just want to go on record as saying that I love that "one big mess" because it is one created by God and isn't so messy to those who know and believe. It does, however, pose difficulties to those who seek to bend it to their will.
Peace and Blessings to you.
