| − | :::::We Recovering Catholics have a joke, "The Roman Catholic Church thinks they got God captured in a box" - which Dataclarifier just artfully established. For those not in the know, let me explain: every Roman Catholic church has a 'tabernacle' where previously consecrated, unused communion hosts are stored. I'm not here to discuss transubstantiation, but I will relay what my brother, who was a seminarian, explained told me about his conversion: he said that at the age of 8 he wondered if everytime he took a crap, he lost Jesus.

| | + | ::::::Amazing. I posted the full context of John 8:43 above where explains the faith of Abraham is what determines your salvation, and not a ritual ceremony at birth. Mr. Dataclarfier then, who likes to accuse people of "[[Cafateria Christianity]]", ignores the context of John chapter 8 and posts it in support of his errant doctrine. |
| | + | No, Mr. Dataclifier, the scripture ''is not'' a smogesboard of loosely meaningless verses you can pick and choose like a cafeteria in support of an errant doctrine. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|De Plorabus Unum]]</sup> 17:03, 27 November 2019 (EST) |
