Again, this is not a forum for exegetical discourse. If you are serious why don’t you read up on why pre-eminent Lutheran and Protestant scholars who have taught at leading Protestant colleges and and written scores of books finally saw the error of their ways an converted to Catholicism? You don’t have to go back to Cardinal Henry Newman after whom universities have the so-called ‘Newman Club.”
Take for example the conversion of Francis Beckwith who was head of the Evangelical Theological Society. This is the highest scholarly body of Protestant theologians. Why do you go read his articles?

These are just two. I trust they knew a little bit more than you and would now laugh-off these odd assortment of quotes by neophytes and street preachers like Billy Graham and Rev. Jeremiah Wright or the insufferable Joel Osteens of this world.
Um, I think this is a jurisdictional question. Jim, did you issue some new rule about not discussing Scripture on your site? Did I miss the memo?
And then we have the Catholics who have become jihadists with ISIS.
