Honest debate requires honesty You state a false accusation in saying it was hostile for me to put up scripture . Not one word did I post of my own , and not one word of mine was hostile ! Amazing !
What you are really saying is that God's word , and therefore God , is hostile to the apostate Catholic teaching , because what you saw was the teaching of the Catholics ( knowing yourself the Catholics teaching ) juxtaposed next to God's word , in the light of God's word . And I never mentioned the teaching of the Catholics at all .
It is interesting how God's word , without the apostate interferance of apostate men , speaks wonders , and has astounding effect .
I also appreciated ' orthodox presbytarian's rebuttal to you and I about Thessolonians 2:15 . I saw a Catholic 'Priest' on a video tell a group of guests that " People ask us why we have made so many changes and added so much to our ( the Catholics ) teaching over the centuries . Well read Thessolonians 2:15 , " ...whether we come to you by word or epistle ..." (This Priest's meaning of his explaination of HIS and the Catholics interpretation of that scripture : what the Catholic Bishops , Pope etc. say , whatever it is , is inspired of God , and from God ,whether spoken or written in a letter ( No matter that it conflicts with previous letters or the Bible !} . "
The aforementioned is the epitomy of 'out of context' , and a gross perversion of the teaching intended . Paul as telling the church that the Apostles teaching is , whether they ( the Apostles )come to the church personally in person , or whether they , ( the Apostles) send a letter an Epistle ). " He who loves is born of God and knows God , for God is love . He who does not love does not know God ." - 1 jhn 4 " Love is patient and is kind ...." . 1 Corinthians 13 " Now abide faith , hope love , these three , but the greatest of these is love ." 1 Corinthians 13 " Love does not rejoice in unrighteousness , but rejoices with the truth ." 1 Corinthians 13 " Sanctify them in the truth , for your word is truth ."- The Gospel of John 8/3/02
We obviously have no common ground, and our definitions of "hostile" diverge to such a point as to prevent any hope of productive dialogue. Thank you for sharing your own personal opinions and interpretations. May God Bless you abundantly, illuminate your darkened intellect, and have mercy on your soul.
