You denigrated the idea of consulting with well-known Protestant leaders and thinkers, as though doing so is evidence of an insufficient interest in what the Bible says.
My question merely pointed that out.
miss the mark.
Bob said or did no such denigrating.
What he did do was point towards how your own leading question was something of a non sequitur, though originally posed as a question aimed towards "Resolute"--- not to Bob(!) -- but has now become not a question per se, for it has now turned towards being an assertion on your part as to what others allegedly believe, with poor old Bob left holding the bag...
Just stop.
No more.
That kind of thing makes frank discussion around here far more difficult than it needs to be.
In other words --- STOP putting words in other people's mouths.
Can you do that?
Art, are you really a Catholic priest or is your bio the projection of some unfulfilled . . . . desire. The reason I ask is that you throw out accusations pretty freely in your postings (Isn’t Satan called the accuser of the brethren?) and that seems pretty un-priestly to me. Whom do you suppose the Apostles consulted on the idea(s) of marriage? I mean after the crucifixion, of course. I would think their ideas were pretty fixed. All I need to know is in the Old Testament. Do you think the Pope has some confusion on the issue? Or has God changed his stance towards homosexuality? I sure don’t.
