Agreed! Thank you for noticing. So many here see the Church as some immovable behemoth that is stuck in Her ways. That is not so. She is constantly learning and teaching. That being said, there is very strong teaching on this subject that is instructive and authoritative.
I still await three responses to posts I made to you on the other thread you called 'unproductive.'
It was unproductive. If you notice, I am one person and I am responding to multiple posters. I am not baited by every challenge and I can't possibly answer every post. I answer where I think there is a reason to answer that is edifying for me and for the conversation.
Also, the church is not a she, the Church is the Body of Christ with Him as the Head and we as the members.
It's a personal thing for me to refer to the Church as "She". One can ask, "how is the Church Christ's Body?" The answer is found in the model of Scripture (Genesis to Revelation opens and ends with Marriage)... the Church is the Bride of Christ and they are joined in one Flesh through the Marriage Feast of the Lamb (Eph 5:25-27, 2 Cor 11:2, Rev 19:7-9, Rev 21:9). As Jesus is male, I see the Church as female. Again, personal thing.
“I am not baited by every challenge and I can’t possibly answer every post.”
Yet here you bait us, proceed to lecture us and give excuse for not humbly considering that maybe a respondent is correct and you’re not.
I understand there are competing priorities. If you had to focus on one and have the time, the one where I reference discussing the OT foundation for Jesus Christ's teaching to Nicodemus on Born Again. Of course Nicodemus did not have a Thompson's chain reference TaNaKh in his cloak but he was referred by Christ as 'the' teacher of Israel. However, different thread. If you have time it well worth it I believe.
But you baited a long list of people here...for no reason other than to preach "the Roman Catholic Church" rather than the Gospel.
Most other-than RC Christians don't give the RCC much of a passing thought, so no, you are wrong. The RCC is not needed as "a foil" as you said in one comment or another on this thread (to which you pinged myself, but I have no interest in being "baited").
So it's all about you, and your opinions -- and what you are trying to prove, eh?
Due to more than a few of your own past (foul) comments on this forum --- I have absolutely zero interest in hearing from you.
If I make some comment, or provide some material or commentary, then be free to be free and exercise the freedom to speak and write to me.
Otherwise, don't ping me to any of your trollish efforts or commentary.
I am simply not interested in anything which you have to say.
