And you don't see this as a problem, even a major one? Yes, your view is
"far
removed", but for what reason? Do you even _have_ a good reason for being
so far
removed? Neither Loren nor I could agree that you do.

That should be a very strong hint that it is a major problem.

Why do you keep repeating this nonsense? Who, other than you, ever said
Augustine was the "father of Roman Catholicism"? Certainly no Roman
Catholic
would say such a thing.

And when he does these things, vague but fierce accusations like "you are
a
reprobate" accomplish very little. Better to pick out one of the false
statements and focus on that. Don't bother with all of them, all you need
is
one. So pick the one where he is weakest;)

Do you have any idea how much of the OT you contradict with this? But I
thought
you would regard even just one contradiction with horror, yet here you
embrace
so many!

Here is one: Job 1:8. You really did just contradict it.
