I’m pointing to the facts Hall ignores, which is the root of “ignorance”.
“Believe” means something beyond checking a square.
The verses I quoted make clear that if your stated beliefs don’t show up in the way you live your life, then your claim of belief is void.
Did I not ask you already -- on what basis does one make that claim?
I do not speak for him, but it is my guess the man would likely enough agree with that statement. So? And?
How would you know about that?
Do you some personal knowledge about this writer that none other here appear to have? Did he confess to you about himself having committed some horrific sin? He must not be Christian, for having written about what in his own view constitutes being a Christian, and what in comparison does not? Are you not doing very much that same thing, in regards to that one man, but doing so going by arguably less than he has, in his own criticisms of Catholicism (and of the Coptics)?
How does anyone find forgiveness among Roman Catholics? From so-called "priests" only, huh?
Being he likely has not availed himself of those hirelings' tender mercies, then although some of those individuals who are 'priests' may forgive the man, it appears to me that you most certainly do not.
Instead, you have become the prosecutor condemning him on basis of your own assumptions about what he allegedly is "ignorant" of, and the way you assume he "lives his life".
If that's the way the Lord truly would have us all be, then boil me in oil, and call me a buttered biscuit. Careful though. I may fight back. The hot oil could be spilt, or the wrong persons (in your own opinion) end up headfirst in the vats instead of me, or the critic that you more than criticize, but have already judged.
