The original post to me (making intimations that I was a vampire) was removed (not by my request!). But, anyone can clearly see that I did NOT call anybody a vampire. I used the analogy/simile comparing the distaste Roman Catholics have for obedience to the Word of God.

It had nothing to do with my posts. You apparently think I, and other Catholics, are vampires, otherwise what was the point of posting that polemic simile to me ?

Are you aware that antisemites have traditionally referred to Jews as vampires ? Is antiCatholicism the new antiSemitism ?

"To many Roman Catholics, the Word of God is more like garlic to a vampire!" wvk post #99

Wow! Critical thinking seems to be another weak spot. Reading, thinking...and obedience to Scripture seem to be a common failing among too many of you and your brethren!

Your post is just another crock of warm ...!

Think about what you plan to say before you write it! And, try reading my post again and see where it says that Roman Catholics are vampires. I simply meant they avoid Scripture, like vampires do garlic. That is an analogy, not a claim about Roman Catholic cultists!

Sorry, you are not a winner. Try again soon!

Romans 7: ...14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do-this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God's law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!
