Should I add you to my daily scripture ping list?
By all means. The more scripture I get during the day, the better.

After reading it, it's clearly a prediction of apostacy

You may wish to reread, paying close attention to the phrase "forbidding to marry" and then compare that with Paul's list of things to look for in church leaders earlier in Timothy. Not to push any sensitive buttons now, but it is fairly obvious to any outside observer that Paul was right in I Cor. with the statement "It is better to marry than to burn".

Also, understand that I know of many individual RC's that will join us Protesters around the throne, because of their faith. I also know many individuals members of Prostestant denominations that will hear "I never knew you", because of their faith being non-existent.

I also believe that many leaders of the RC as an institution will have a lot to answer for on that great and dreadful day (2nd Peter Ch. 2).

I paid close attention and did read that part. However, the RCC does not forbid marriage. Yes, the priests take a vow of chastity, but they are free to marry instead. You may wish to go and read the letter to the Corinthians where the same Paul adivses them to not be married.

Ditto, that.

As will leaders of all faiths.

Consider yourself added to the ping list. BTW ... may I ask what "L,TOWM" means?
God bless.
