A very good response Neville. A saw the contradiction straight away. A true
Catholic could not have put it better.
Thanks ,
Philip.
You forgot to mention the millions of individual independent Bible Believers
with no church affiliation, doing his own thing .
8 I say to you that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when
he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth? 9 And to some who trusted
in themselves as just and despised others, he spoke also this parable:
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray: the one a Pharisee and the other a
publican. 11 The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give
thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers,
as also is this publican. 12 I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that
I possess. 13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up
his eyes towards heaven; but struck his breast, saying: O God, be merciful to
me a sinner. 14 I say to you, this man went down into his house justified
rather than the other: because every one that exalteth himself shall be
humbled: and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Dear Jack,
I need to pick up on this paragraph that you sent to Paul, but which is
clearly of relevance to any believer:
A Christian who does not believe the litteral interpretation of Genesis and
conveys such to a new Christian runs the risk of being a 'stumbling block' to
him. If the new Christian thinks it is OK to interpret the Bible as one feels,
then how will he know what is OK and what isn't? When the time comes for us all
to give an account of our lives, the worst that can happen to me is that God
could say,"Nice try Jack, but I'm not quite that clever - 6 days does not give
me too much time, however thank you for your support, even if it was a bit
OTT". However the theistic evolutionist could be admonished for not giving God
credit for creation and causing others to go astray (to hell that is) through
his liberal Biblical interpretations.
There are something of the order of 28,000+ sects/schisms/divisions/..., call
them what you will, under the Christian banner. Are not all of these
interpreting the Bible in their own way? Emphasizing certain verses and
ignoring others? To suit the ends of the "church" to which they "belong"?
What about non-Christians? They reject the Bible either in whole, or at least
in large parts. Are they all off to "hell," in your opinion?

Dear Paul,
...
Here's a philosophical thought for you to be going on with.
A Christian who does not believe the litteral interpretation of Genesis
and conveys such to a new Christian runs the risk of being a 'stumbling block'
to him. If the new Christian thinks it is OK to interpret the Bible as one
feels, then how will he know what is OK and what isn't? When the time comes for
us all to give an account of our lives, the worst that can happen to me is that
God could say,"Nice try Jack, but I'm not quite that clever - 6 days does not
give me too much time, however thank you for your support, even if it was a bit
OTT". However the theistic evolutionist could be admonished for not giving God
credit for creation and causing others to go astray (to hell that is) through
his liberal Biblical interpretations.
