Ah ah ah - no comments from the audience, please, unless FormerLib wishes to use you as one of his lifelines.
Yep, it is a game of "Three Card Monty." Why are you afraid of just stating your case. What is it that you need to conceal?
...since you admit interpreting scripture is "beyond you"
No, that is not what I said. I said that "the convolutions and deceit being used here are thankfully beyond me."
Why was it necessary for you to lie just then? Why is truth your enemy?
LOL!! What makes you possibly think that I am interested in the YOPIOS of an apostate? Do you really think that I, or any other Catholic or Orthodox, which FormerLib is BTW, would cast off 2000 years of Christian teaching in favor of a concept unknown to the Christian world for its first 1500 years?
Also why do you think shellfish and other non-Kosher fish were included but not mentioned? Just because you have chosen to ignore Christ, His apostles and their teachings on the Eucharist, don’t expect us to.
If I am ignorant of anything, it is of the irrational appeal of self-induced apostasy.
Geez, I hope he isn't going to try to do something as mindless as try to claim that as proof that we shouldn't be eating a human body at the Eucharist ("As if" as the kids say nowadays). Don't these people understand anything about the Christian faith?
I think our sandals are getting dusty, what about you?
I believe the clinical term might be "megalomania."
Who needs Sacred Tradition when you have the all-powerful YOPOIS at your beck and call?
BTW, how many times have you been called a Catholic on this thread?:)
Oh, this is nothing! You should see some of the threads where they demand that I admit my Roman Catholicism and stop making up terms such as "The Orthodox Church!"
Apparently he believes that Christ was inducing us to sin by commanding us to eat His flesh and drink His blood.
Mine are nice and clean now, but there is this pile of dust a few feet behind me ...
Protestant POV? Well here's your problem! I don't think most Catholics or Orthodox are too interested in the YOPOIS of a Protestant.
Sure, ask him about shellfish too.
Simple - I didn't lie. I re-interpreted what you said, just as you have doing of me here. The difference here is that I am answering your questions. I am not afraid of speaking the truth, as I see it. I prefer to get it out in the open.
Judging by your behavior here, apparently you prefer to keep the truth, as you see it, under a bushel?
I answered your question? Where? What the heck is your question?
I don't understand what the heck you are referring to or talking about, nor why FL and I are suddenly being subject to the third degree about Acts 11 by a Protestant Torquemada wannabe. We've jumped from #346 talking about Christ the door to the sheepfold to visions in Acts 11. I've missed the connection.
Can't you just make your point and stay on topic in responses?
Yes, you did. You took part of my words, inserted what you want, and then claimed that I had said it. That is a lie (also known as bearing false witness). Perhaps you'd know that if you knew the plain truth that is within Scripture (and I've already stated that in regards to Acts 11).
I re-interpreted what you said...
Thereby proving the Scriptural warning that there is no prophecy (truth) in personal interpretation.
So, are you going to state your position or are you afraid to do so without playing the game?
The connection was that we'd penetrated the superficial responses on that topic so it was necessary to shift. It's just the lack of "prophecy."
Two points for the guy-who-eats-his-God. If you disagree with the Acts 11 continuation of Deut 28:53's proclamation that the consumption of human flesh is a sign of an anathema from God, please advise me now.
BTW, I despise shellfish.
