You also are now resorting to pejoratives (”papsit” - look it up in a good dictionary).

Took your recommendation and looked up "papsit"(sic) and couldn't find anything. I assume its maybe a bench seat in the Pope-mobile? However, I did find "papist" and in your case, the definition fits. May I remind you that you were the first with pejorative remarks about protestantism.

Now that I've gotten you straightened out on that one, perhaps we can discuss the fact that there is only one mediator between God and man. Or maybe we can discuss the fact that we have direct access to the throne of God, that Jesus shed his blood to give us that access and how its possibly an insult to God to ask some long dead believer to intervene. But then again, we'd probably never come to any agreement.

You obviously didn’t check a good dictionary. You probably wouldn’t know one if you came across it anyway. If you check Merriam-Webster you’ll see it is described as “usually disparaging”.

“I assume its maybe a bench seat in the Pope-mobile? However, I did find “papist” and in your case, the definition fits. May I remind you that you were the first with pejorative remarks about protestantism.”

I made no “pejorative” remarks at all. I used correct terms and was accurate in my use of them.

“Now that I’ve gotten you straightened out on that one, perhaps we can discuss the fact that there is only one mediator between God and man.”

You just figured that out? We have always known that and the Holy Spirit inspired an early Catholic - St. Paul - to write that in 1 Timothy 2:5.

“Or maybe we can discuss the fact that we have direct access to the throne of God, that Jesus shed his blood to give us that access and how its possibly an insult to God to ask some long dead believer to intervene.”

1) We always knew we had direct access to God.
2) We always knew what Jesus’ death did for us.
3) We know it is no insult to ask saints to pray for us.

“But then again, we’d probably never come to any agreement.”

I have no reason to believe your opinions are orthodox, so, no, we probably would not agree. When you actually learn scripture and Church history come back and talk to me. Until then start with a good dictionary and avoid attempts at humor that make you look more like a sciolist than anything else.
