“But do you thank God you are not like the other guy?”
I said: I thank God for His grace and loving-kindness that spared me, a sinner, from falling into the filth of Protestant heresy and sectarianism.
I mentioned no “other guy” there. Your comparison of me to the Pharisee was completely wrong.
vlad >> I thank God for His grace and loving-kindness that spared me, a sinner, from falling into the filth of Protestant heresy and sectarianism.<<
Pharisee Luke 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
