Sha- zam.... why all the rage...? why not try to convince me...? Why the bitter sarcasm and grammatical typo cherry picking? It speaks volumes... God’s Word must have hit a nerve with you..
I fully agree.. that is for sure.. they surly would have burned us... it is what they did to those who sought only to exalt God’s Word and not fables. Hus ect…
If you are a Catholic…. “then” I know how you think as a “Catholic’... since I was one.. that is what I was talking about.. All I presented was God’s Word… that is why I stated that.. “you would Amen this post” What part of the Scripture do you disagree with?

I agree I have not much in common with the reformers also... I follow more of Whitfield, Cary, Mc Gee etc.

Um, the typo cherry pick was just doing you a favor because I know you would have capitalized it if you had noticed. I’m not Roman Catholic, and I also own the entire McGee “Through the Bible Series.” What I gave was good advise about how not to undermine your argument by immediately causing offense to your target audience. They will deal with the offense first, and ignore any arguments you are making.

For example, “What part of the Scripture do you disagree with?” Is a highly offensive question. It presumes that the person being asked is in active opposition to the scripture rather than just in opposition to your particular hermeneutic. If disagreeing with your personal interpretation of scripture causes the immediate accusation of opposition to God then you are operating on the presupposition of your own infallibility. So people will immediately tune you out.
