I have looked at the text and found there is no deception...in fact clarification seems moreso than not when compared to the Catholic take, which more often then not one has to separate the "traditions" practiced in order to determine if or not there is actual belief in the topic discussed or simply abiding by mans written opinions. As for becoming a Catholic...that simply isn't going to happen annalex, though I know your journey there took you thru some bad experiences in former churches that steered you wrongfully...and sorry you experienced the suffering you did. So I can understand you attraction to the Catholic church even though I disagree with much about their practices. So I am satisfied in Christ and the church of my choosing. I like the truth as Christ presents it...not as the traditions of men dictate......but thank you for the invitation...however I must decline for Christ's sake.
In the verse you are responding to I showed you where the deception is: two verses are quoted and the third one, teaching the distinctly Catholic doctrine is omitted from the quote; then again, half of a passage is quoted and the other, Catohlic part fo the passage is omitted. That is deceptive, there is no other word for it. What do you think was the reason to chop up quotes like that?
I know your journey there took you thru some bad experiences in former churches
What bad experiences? I visited many Protestant communities of faith to accompany my formerly Protestant wife and had a wonderful time, and met some truly wonderful people. Their theology is nonsense on sticks, but the people are very nice, the coffee is good, and some pastors can be very inspiring in their sermons. Interestingly, a typical Protestant sermon, I found out, is filled with exhortations to good works; how they combine that with their "faith alone" dogma is a mystery.
