well, brother. for me at least:
“God uses people to convert others to Him.”
and (quote from the article)
“... conversion is not a business of a pastor or missionary.”
is a flat contradiction, in my understanding of english and the Scripture in greek.
Hence his term ‘misunderstanding’
Teaching is teaching
Leading is leading
Converting is converting
They are different words because they mean different things
You don’t think a man like the bishop with not only a doctorate in theology but a maters in philosophy and theology uses precise words and has a dictionary?
It’s not that I mean to be sarcastic. It’s just that the license to put down the Catholic Church and its associates is so abused
He’s not Lil Boosie or even Greg gurgled. He uses exact words for their meaning and people come in and treat his statements like they’re something out of a celebrity on the Jon Stewart show
He’s simply saying that conversion is between the cover red and God. That Catholics don’t convert others nor pretend to be able to do so. They teach, lead and assist
St Francis himself who had a great conversion, said, preach the Gospel. And if necessary, use words’
