naru

but you have an interesting MO.

<finally you ADMIT that you can't read the Bible literally>

attack #1 by one of the SCRIPTURES. but a very very WEAK ATTACK naru. YOU can't read the Bible literally though, because the deceptive cult you belong to SAYS it must be believed how they SAY IT IS to be believed.
This is where the word CULT comes to play naru.

"SO THEN, FAITH COMETH BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD"
actually naru, as THE WORD OF GOD says here, it can be READ, and HEARD LITERALLY.

<well, that's ALL I have to say>

is that your WAY OUT of adhering to what GOD'S WORD SAYS??? it won't work naru.
"they are without excuse"

<And if you read Mark 9 LITERALLY, then you can't read........>

isn't this a WONDERFUL exhibition of how the DECEPTIVE false teaching of roman catholicism has worked on this person. instead of teaching this person what SCRIPTURE SAYS, this CULT'S INDOCTRINATION TACTICS are to discredit the reliability of SCRIPTURE. that it CAN'T BE taken LITERALLY. so that even "whosoever believeth in HIM SHALL NOT PERISH" cannot even be believed.
of course this is a necessity for CULTS to do. SCRIPTURE is their greatest ENEMY. IT brings their EVIL TO LIGHT.
