As the church is RCs supreme object of security and affection, they are compelled to defend it no matter how many times and how much their assertions and polemics are refuted.
Thanks for doing the jousting here. Was still licking my wounds from yesterday when this came to me:
Jhn 8:41
(Jesus said) “You do the deeds of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father—God.”
Jhn 8:42
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.
Jhn 8:44
“You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
Oddly enough, these words boosted my resolve and reminded me who and what we are standing against (with the encourgement of others on FR).
