God bless you!
Crudely? Hardly. Disrespectful and irreverent? Sure. Why should I respect that which is so provably false? Why should I revere that which is so profane? What hath light to do with darkness? But not so crude, unless 'old fart' is what you refer to, in which case I might recommend turning down the 'church lady' setting a notch or two... It is merely a colorful colloquialism (in the dictionary and everything), with a little more emphasis than 'old man' can contain.
As to hating the Roman church and her leader, of course I do. Whore of Babylon, false prophet, the whole 9 yards... She is diametrically opposed to Yeshua the Messiah, a wolf in sheep's clothing. If you are sufficiently robust in your faith, I would highly recommend a deep study in the profane - you will find much there that you will recognize as uncannily familiar. REPENT of it and find the truth.
I don't hate anyone, although I sometimes hate what they do.
Same here. Don't confuse my contempt for the counterfeit church with any such sentiment harbored against you personally...
Love God YHWH, love your neighbor as yourself, love your enemies. So if you follow Christ Yeshua the Messiah, you may hate what we do, but ya gotta love us!
Exactly right.
The old fall back: HATE?
Sigh...
Calling out a person's HATE works about as well as calling them RACIST these days.
We won't waste our time defending the charge.
Your fellow Catholics seem to have this field pretty much to themselves!
