"But the writings you find are always Lathering Lawyered nonsense. Soap suds."

John, I fear it is because we are dealing with the disingenuous. Some study to seek truth, other to seek affirmation. Most of what we see from Daniel is a filtered presentation of Scripture and writings carefully edited to affirm Protestant doctrine. With selective presentation it is not difficult to make any author appear to completely endorse any doctrine.

Only when a student approaches a subject with an open mind and gives that subject an honest and THOROUGH consideration can the truth be arrives at. Unfortunately, for too many, the issue is who is right, not what is right. Read Daniels postings, and then, as you have done and Paul Harvey said, read "the rest of the story". In that you will find the truth.

Peace be with you

Considering your other examples of false charges, your typical response is expected, and a positive affirmation.

Catholics keep trying to share and from the heart, read the quotes and writings of the early Church Fathers, some of them knew the Apostles and second, you can’t take Church teaching or writings to come against the Church.

Here is a help. I was watching a conversion story told by
a former Pentecostal, Brent Stubbs, his family was Pentecostal, attended Assemblies of God, graduated from the big one, Oral Roberts University and was a youth pastor. It bothered Brent at Oral Roberts how two well known nationwide ministers got up on two separate days and each one preached something completely different. ??

Daniel1212, Brent states some of the things that helped him convert, he read the early Fathers and Scott Hahn’s Rome Sweet Home which totally destroys “Bible Alone.” And he could see after reading much on Catholicism, the tactic of anti-Catholics to take a bit of Church teaching or writing out of context to come against the Church. Take the time and watch or you could listen and look at other things on the Net. thanks.
