      Do you really think He has turned a blind eye to that? Because He has not.

      ‭Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

      ‭Luke 17:2 It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

        so what you’re saying is he has turned a blind eye seeing as I’ve yet to see a bishop with a millstone, yeah?

          yeah, I mean, if you have to reach back to an ancient book (that was written by man, and rewritten by man to suit the times and ideals numerous times there after) to find a case for"proof", then the proof is pretty much meanginless… unless the proof is to prove how condoned it is and how long they’ve been allowed to get away with it.

            Bible hasn’t really been rewritten much. The ESV we have now is pretty accurate.

                We’ve got pretty early manuscripts spread out from across the world. Some dude would have had to travel the world and edit each individual manuscript
