Thanks for your fine refined words.

You are by far the better orator/author.

AS you can tell, I’m a NMex farm hick street fighter . . . but only with words. LOL.

[Quix]

Thanks for your KIND words as well.

Your post 675 calls into question the claim Joseph had a previous marriage by noting said claim is not demostrable from scripture.

The implicit premise of such a question is that the narrative of scripture is exhaustive.

Scripture makes no such claim.

So while one might reasonably claim Jesus had no moles, one can make no such assertion, positive or negative, for say, John the Revelator.

[Quix]

UNMITIGATED NONSENSE.

.

Just because a self-serving committee of Johnny come 300-400 year latelies gather and in their political power-mongering best Scripture mangling DECREE something

does NOT make it true.

Christ talked about the kind of faith in Peter without which, it's impossible to please God.

To think that Christ supports the creation of a worse version of the RELIGIOUS SYSTEM OF THE PHARISEES that He spent so much time castigating and condemning

is absurd idiocy and Biblical ignorance to the max.

[Quix]

NONSENSE.

There’s no need to pretend or assume that Scripture is exhaustive.

It is wise to understand that Scripture includes all the significant points about a life of faith and a RELATIONSHIP with God.

In general, do proddys call someone a liar, then immediately demonstrate the truth of exactly what they called “liar” for...?

[Quix]

Naw.

That would be an RC habit.

[papertyger]

There is when one denies an issue predicated on the silence of scripture.

I would think you understood something so fundamental.

[Alamo-Girl]

Truly, if God wanted us to be exactly alike He could have made it so.

[Iscool]

I've never known anyone to post with such lack of knowledge as your posts show

I don't believe I'm going to lose a lot of sleep over what you think you know...

I know how and have gotten saved by Jesus Christ and know enough to let others know how...

And the way you talk, it seems that you know everything there is to know, except that...

[papertyger]

As always, I am content with my polemics when my opposition is reduced to “I know you are.”

[ctdonath2]

If X is not in scripture, and the is no other historical evidence of it, how can you use it as justification for an extraordinary claim?

[caww]

That would mean that posting on this board, you are praying to caww.

R-e-a-l-l-y?...I blush... (chuckle) But as with Mary, not a thing I can do about answering anyones prayers. Maybe make a pie, give flowers, box of candy to make someone feel better....but the answers are all in Christ.

OHHHHHHHHHHH!

LIKE THE WHOLE VATICAN CULT EDIFICE!

--SCRIPTURAL SILENCE about a long list of Ishtar-Mary idolatries and blasphemies the Vatican Cult is dogmatic about

--SCRIPTURAL SILENCE about a self-serving committe of Magicsterical political power-mongers.

--SCRIPTURAL SILENCE about a RELIGIOUS KING IN ROME LORDING IT OVER OTHERS IN DIRECT VIOLATION TO CHRIST'S WORDS.

--SCRIPTURAL SILENCE about indulgences.

--SCRIPTURAL SILENCE about Purgatory.

--SCRIPTURAL SILENCE and actually prohibitions against praying to anyone but God for anything.

--SCRIPTURAL SILENCE about the Vatican Cult's holy water institution and rituals.

--SCRIPTURAL SILENCE about the Vatican Cult's last rites.

--SCRIPTURAL SILENCE--and actually contrary Sciptural instructions about priests only administering the Lord's Supper.

--SCRIPTURAL SILENCE and actually Scriptural exhortations to the contrary about a formal priesthood lording it over the priesthood of all believers.

--SCRIPTURAL SILENCE and actually opposite instructions about Papal infallibility nonsense dogma.

. . .

I'm sure other Proddys can add to the list.

INDEED.

And as so many have asserted over my 64 years . . . God knows 1 of me is enough for the world to bear! LOL.

[Claud]

Welllllllll, even Proddy KJV addicts don’t go running around saying that to their children. At least not in public! LOL.

Maybe they should! It'd help the kids with their Shakespeare. :)

My attitude is, if it was good enough for great-great-great-great-grandpa, it's good enough for me.

[Quix]

WELL AND ACCURATELY PUT,
imho.

[Quix]

INDEED.

[Quix]

It’s conceivable I haven’t sequenced back through enough posts.

Please lay out post by post the 3-5 sequences of posts in one new post, that you’re so adament about on this issue. I’m not seeing it.

[Quix]

Hmmmm

There is that, alright.

Pray-thee . . . don’t waltz into my classroom and say such things. 98% of the students would think you were speaking in tongues or a different language entirely.
