I have to respectfully disagree that threads talking about what the bible says can in any way displease Jesus.

Yet sadly, the Bible has been used on a number of threads to bash other Christian believers, Catholics included.

I never said theological discussion displeases God the Father or Christ the Son. I said Christian infighting, judging, and condemning is what displeases them.

To state a disagreement in someone else’s doctrinal belief, even to defending ones own, is fine and dandy. It is when people from one denomination cast aspersion on the followers of other denominations, when Christian denominations are labelled “cults”, when people are told they are going to hell, when people are told they are wrong in their belief and must change to what other believe — all that Christian infighting can’t please the Lord God, or Christ his Son.

Paul commended the Bereans for searching the scriptures daily to see if what was being taught was the truth. Jesus used scripture to castigate the Pharisees and often referred to scripture. I would suggest that Jesus would be displeased if we didn't use scripture to refute false teaching.
