yeah, yeah...your standard, stock answer, unassisted by ANYTHING other than you said so because you were told so and you believe what you are told. I’m not at all impressed by “pre-eminent” theologians who for God only knows what reason decided to “Pope”. The truth has NEVER changed. “Your” church has, many times.
Oh yeah, “impressed” by “your” interpretation of scripture the very nonsense that leads to every person understanding the “Word” of God accordingly to his/her own lights. Tell that to the followers of David Koresh and Jim Jones, and the dumb idiots who flock to hear Rick Warren Joel Osteen, Rev. Wright, Billy Graham, Benny Hinns, and the Moonies. Pure shallow nonsense.
