“Thank you for reaffirming my point of you using a few lines taken out of context”


But I thought you said it was a few paragraphs of out of context quotes:

“LOL! Your few paragraphs,”

So is it lines, or paragraphs? And a “few” would suggest at least 3. But, I’m pretty sure I provided a lot more than that.

Thanks for reaffirming my view that you just want to insult and belittle your opponents instead of addressing the facts as they actually stand.

"So is it lines, or paragraphs?"

It completely depends on your screed du jour whether you mischaracterize a line, a few lines, a paragraph, a few paragraphs or a few Early Church Fathers.

The attempt to use a small portion of the works of St. Augustine as a "proof text" is as intellectually dishonest and similar attempts to cobble together entire Protestant doctrines on the whole cloth of an out of context Scriptural proof text.

Its funny how fast you are to throw St. Augustine and the other ECFs under the bus as a kook when any of their actual teachings are explored. On second thought it is not funny, it is pitiful.
