It's a poor workman that blames his tools.
...the same words from a trusted knowledgeable friend is testimony.
ONLY if this 'trusted knowledgeable friend' is speaking his OWN words to the assembled court.
It is INADMISSIBLE 'testimony' if YOU repeat his alleged words.
Notice that I cast no aspersions toward anyone as I presented the facts of the issue.
I did not imply they were dumb, or duplicitous, or stupid because a ‘literate’ person would know that.
I can ALWAYS find a cartoon or two later if they persist in proving to be unteachable in certain areas!
So much one-upmanship: so little time...
We’ve heard (hearsay) from various sources (who shall remain anonymous) that size doesn’t matter; but HOW it is used.
I think (my opinion) this prattle back and forth about who ‘has’ more Scripture in their services might (speculation) fall into this category.
Whoa, whoa, WHOA!!!
I'm still counting angels on pinheads!!
I am NOT about to start yet ANOTHER counting project!
There may be a trace of literacy in you...
Yes; I’ve been in Catholic services, and yes Scripture is read, and yes the congregation does the call and response thing with the priest.
And yes, it was all very impressive. The words were all memorized (by both sides) and could be repeated, in unison, quite distinctly and clear.

I don't see what authority a Methodist has over St. Jerome.
Not well suited to sculpture. I do not argue in favor of Michelangelo's statue, simply pointing out that the "horned" metaphor was well understood in his time, as was St. Jerome's intention. Also, art was understood correctly as a medium of theological reflection and not naturalistic portraiture.
Yup. I did. Take it as gospel: you guys do. Protestantism did nothing of value in the past 500 years.
you conceptually switch positions
By providing a marker to where I am referring to in the kilobytes of ungrammatical text that you force me to read? Now I have to also repeat it? Get a secretary.
If I can't get you [+6 paragraphs]
Aha.
In that case I withdraw my admonition and apologize for offending you
You Elise said hearsay
I said it was their testimony
Prove what they said and what I related was wrong and win akimbo $750
If you no one on the forum can disprove it
We’ll then it’s likely confirmed.
So prove I’m wrong

Well, in that case, yes. I did not take the post seriously and chose to make fun of it instead.
How about when you are superior ?
Insert ironic smiley here

It was their testimony
