By all means!

Please outline the steps you’ve taken to “put on the full armor of God” in the practical, tangible sense.

For something to be “making it personal” it must be speaking to another Freeper, personally.

“Protestants are heretics” is not making it personal. “You are a heretic” is making it personal. “Catholics worship Mary” is not making it personal. “You worship Mary” is making it personal. “Mormons worship many gods” is not making it personal. “You worship many gods” is making it personal.

Read the passage and you should be able to understand.

I did read the passage, but as usual, you people don't figure out till after the fact that MOST of your platitudes and nostrums are wholly lacking in any applicable value.

Do you clowns really think no one notices when you're asked simple questions and you invariably answer with "read what I already wrote and you'll understand?"

Why don't you just cover your eyes and tell us we can't see you?

Quoting yourself to try and get your insult to work is a sign of desperation.

In a lot of these cases the Catholic hasn’t seen the passage before. If they had they wouldn’t waste time with the Rosary.

Maybe my post wasn’t clear regarding the difference between discernment and judgement.

Discernment - the ability to recognize sin, i.e. “warning of dangers ahead”.

Judgement - the condemnation of the sinner, i.e. “casting of stones”.

Catholic Dictionary

DISCERNMENT OF SPIRITS

Definition The ability to distinguish whether a given idea or impulse in the soul comes from the good spirit or from the evil spirit. It may be an act of the virtue of prudence, or a special gift of supernatural grace, or both. In persons who are seriously intent on dong God’s will, the good spirit is recognized by the peace of mind and readiness for sacrifice that a given thought or desire produces in the soul. The evil spirit produces disturbance of mind and a tendency to self-indulgence. An opposite effect is produced by both spirits toward sinners. (Etym. Latin discernere, to distinguish between, determine, resolve, decide.)

Catholic Dictionary
JUDGMENT
Definition In general, an act of the mind affirming or denying something. Philosophically, judgment is the mental act of combining two ideas in affirming their agreement, e.g., God is good, or separating them in denying their agreement, e.g., God is not evil. In ethics, judgment is a right decision about what is just or proper or prudent. It is also the decision of a superior in a natural society (such as the State) or a supernatural society (such as the Church), prescribing what should be done or administering justice.
