Sometimes I lash out. “Zeal for your house will consume me.” But is it true zeal or zeal “not according to knowledge”? I pray it is the former.

I am no angry former Catholic with an axe to grind, it’s just that I want to “destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,” Rome and her labyrinthine additions to the Glad Tidings angers me in this! Her ersatz anathemas have no effect on true believers who are justified apart from works, just as our father Abraham “believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness”.

Please remember that what you call "lofty knowledge" came because Catholics compiled the Bible. Even Luther said so.
