No stones...just want everyone to know the truth and be filled with the Spirit.
Anti-Catholicism, not anti-catholic.
Neither are led by the Holy Spirit.
Yep. Stones. But hey, whatever helps you sleep at night.
Don’t brush everyone with the same broad strokes.....some of us would just like to see others born again and Spirit filled. We want that for all.
I sleep fine at night.
Perhaps one day you can tell me why so against believers. I was once in need of hearing the Gospel and God made sure I did. Why would we then not want to tell others?
“You are hanging to much on the single word “conceives’”
Wow, you’ve really strayed off topic. I didn’t say “conceives”, the pope did. He unwittingly introduced unnecessary confusion at the very least through his choice of words. I don’t see how you can deny that the pope lacks the same type of clarity that we have come to expect with his predecessors. You can’t maintain that the pope has been clear, because if he had been clear, we would not have had this controversy.
As to whether he pope is deliberately engaging in false teaching, I would agree that he is probably not. And of course, the pope is human, and too err is human. But he is the pope, not a pundit, and we should expect better.
I can tell you one thing. If this pope make doctrinal statements on theology that rise to the level of dogmatic infallibility, he better have some experts on theology and grammar looking over his shoulder. That will make your job as unwavering papal apologist much easier.
I didn’t say that the Pope didn’t say “conceives.” I said that your presumed sharp distinction between the meaning of “conceives” and “thinks” was baseless.
My point was that the Pope didn’t say anything new, and that his use of the word “conceives” doesn’t introduce anything new.
The Church and all moral theologians have always held that no one is culpable if he obeys his sincere judgment about what is right and wrong.
I don’t know who you think you are talking to, but “unwavering Papal apologist”? Have you read my posts? Did you even read my post to YOU?
