(Don't worry - I have chocolate beside me and God on my side.)
[Ex-priest]: (Crazed blah blah blah, crazed blah, blah, blah)
[My response]: So you know NOTHING about the Bible.
[Just my responses for the rest of this conversation, and totally ignoring the hounding atheist heckler/slanderer/attacker, whose behavior sadly reminds me of the nasty little heckling creature sitting on Jabba the Hut's lap, in "Return of the Jedi."]
_____As an ex-Catholic myself, I well know the TOTAL DIFFERENCE between the Catholic approach to the Bible - which is tainted with the precepts of demonism and doctrines of men - to an honest search of God’s words, with a goal of understanding the truth of them, so as to apply them, so as to please the Creator, to do His will. Having served as a priest in one of Satan’s false and blood guilty religions is NOT a positive credential as far as God or those who KNOW true, untainted, Scriptural-spiritual truth goes. There is a VAST, total difference between merely reading the Bible, and studying it in the context of the doctrines of men, VS studying it as-is, and placing the word of God itself as the top Authority and touchstone for Scriptural truth and UNDERSTANDING. When the scriptures themselves - not Catholic or other doctrine are given first place, the Scriptures themselves build the framework and structure of spiritual truth, and any other teaching must prove to be acceptable by the Scriptures in whole - NOT the other way around, as in the world’s institutions of counterfeit “Christianity “, with churches deciding which scriptures fit into the framework of their manmade doctrines, and then discarding or twisting the rest. God spoke, in Isaiah 29:9-16, of persons who would read God’s words with wrong intent. He described them as being spiritually blind, and not able to understand what was placed right in front of them. That has remained true to this day. Your previous comments indicate that your former studies and involvement with Christendom (FALSE "Christianity") have left you with little to NO understanding or appreciation of Jehovah and Jesus Christ’s scriptural words, principles, and overall spiritual truth. That means that one needs to go back and start again, without letting the teachings of “Babylon the Great” - or the disappointments of finding out one has been lied to for years - get in the way or discourage one from seeking God’s vital truth NOW, and moving forward. The Apostle Paul had a similar experience. So have a lot of ex-Catholics. The good news is that you can use your background in that to teach others the DIFFERENCE - between the false teachings and evil practices of the world’s FALSE religions; vs. scripturally true worship and living by Scriptural truth. DON'T FILL IN THE VACUUM, with leaving a church of FALSE religion with more LIES, of Satanism-Atheism. Start studying the Bible afresh, with the purpose and intent of seeking God's scriptural truth from it.............ALSO, as many of us who have left Catholicism know, Catholicism INTENTIONALLY WORKS TO ERODE BELIEF IN THE TRUTH and WORTH of Jehovah God's SCRIPTURAL WORDS, attempting to DISCREDIT THEM; SO AS TO DISPLACE THEM FROM BEING THE HIGHEST SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY (as the ARE), to being SECOND PLACE-OR-LESS - with DOCTRINES OF MEN and/or WORDS of an "infallible" POPE(S) BEING CLASSICALLY HELD ABOVE THE WORD OF GOD ITSELF, IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH............ The Catholic church - like most of all of the rest of Christendom (false "Christianity" DOESN'T EVEN WORSHIP THE GOD OF THE BIBLE, or honor or obey the Son of God, Jesus, as described in the Bible. Instead, they worship A MANMADE IDOL - a PAGAN/ DEMONISM-TEMPLATED TRIUNE "MYSTERY gODHEAD - an IDOL that exchanges the God of the Bible with an "UNKNOWABLE" god.......So, from scratch again, prayerfully, is the best way to start.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is what the training of FALSE, demonism and doctrine of men-based, anti-whole-scriptural religions and adherence to them - in lieu of whole-scriptural truth and pure worship based on that - does to people, even religious leaders. It is to be avoided or LEFT BEHIND: "Linger, YOU men, and be amazed; blind yourselves, and be blinded. They have become intoxicated, but not with wine; they have moved unsteadily, but not because of intoxicating liquor.
10 For upon YOU men Jehovah has poured a spirit of deep sleep; and he closes YOUR eyes, the prophets, and he has covered even YOUR heads, the visionaries. 11 And for YOU men the vision of everything becomes like the words of the book that has been sealed up, which they give to someone knowing the writing, saying: “Read this out loud, please,” and he has to say: “I am unable, for it is sealed up”; 12 and the book must be given to someone that does not know writing, [somebody] saying: “Read this out loud, please,” and he has to say: “I do not know writing at all.”
13 And Jehovah says: “For the reason that this people have come near with their mouth, and they have glorified me merely with their lips, and they have removed their heart itself far away from me, and their fear toward me becomes men’s commandment that is being taught, 14 therefore here I am, the One that will act wonderfully again with this people, in a wonderful manner and with something wonderful; and the wisdom of their wise men must perish, and the very understanding of their discreet men will conceal itself.”
15 Woe to those who are going very deep in concealing counsel from Jehovah himself, and whose deeds have occurred in a dark place, while they say: “Who is seeing us, and who is knowing of us?” 16 The perversity of YOU men! Should the potter himself be accounted just like the clay? For should the thing made say respecting its maker: “He did not make me”? And does the very thing formed actually say respecting its former: “He showed no understanding”? (Isaiah 29:9-16)

Public lying is a mental disorder - and a spiritual one.

_____TRUE worshipers of the Creator God Jehovah of the Bible are NO PART of “the church” ( Satan’s conglomerate empire of all FALSE religions, notably counterfeit “Christianity”, aka, God-doomed “Babylon the Great”.) (Revelation chapters 17 and 18) But atheism is just as bad and guilty of crimes against God and humanity - it is just as doomed by God. Both God-rebellious FALSE religion and atheism serve the same god, teach the same basic bottom-line lies, and are guilty of similar world ruining evils.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, again, you KNOW NOTHING, because globally, TRUE worshipers of Jehovah - unlike any other global religion, NEVER GO TO WAR - NEVER PARTICIPATE in war, and NEVER spiritually support war - in scriptural OBEDIENCE to God and Jesus Christ, as TRUE followers of Jesus Christ. Isaiah 2:2-4; Matthew 26:52; Revelation 13:10' "You must not murder"; "You must love your neighbor as yourself."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God's name is NOT "El" - that is a descriptive term, denoting, "the true God", and refers to Him. God's NAME was in the Scriptures some 7000 times, before it was wickedly removed, so as to create confusion about the identity of God, vs. His Son, Jesus Christ. God's own distinct, personal name, identifying Him - the Creator and Universal Sovereign alone, is indicated in the original texts and their copies by the Tetragrammaton, the four Hebrew letters indicating God's name: YHWH or JHVH (standing for, "He Causes to Become"). The arguments over which spelling is superior are MOOT, because valid transliterations and naturalizations of the holy name of God, based on this Tetragrammaton, have been made into the languages and tongues of people all over the world. Some of the many other spellings/naturalizations from the same four scriptural letters include : Ieova, Exhoba, Zoova, Ihua, Yekhova, Geova, Yahweh, Jehova, ETC. So, everyone in the world has a scripturally acceptable, uniquely identifying name by which to call upon the Creator and Universal Sovereign, as is necessary for them to do. (Psalm 83:18; Joel 2:32; Romans 10:13).......In His own scriptural words, God Jehovah Himself and His representative, His Son, Jesus Christ, have absolutely laid out the basics for mankind of what is good, and what is bad, by way of commands and principles. With consideration of these things first, as God requires, then some things, some decisions are left to the scripturally-trained Christian conscience.......As far as trying to warp anything or acquiesce anything of scriptural truth and pure worship of God to "SUIT" the atheist or false religionist, that would be both disloyal to God, and UNHELPFUL and/or spiritually negligent to do. God's words ARE truth - Jesus Christ, @ John 17:17 - and MEAN LIFE. (John 17:3)

The ATHIESTS ARE WHOLLY GUILTY BEFORE GOD, for their CRIMES AGAINST GOD and HUMANITY, IMMORALITIES, INJUSTICES TOWARDS THOSE THEY PERSECUTE and HARM/ KILL; their Satanic policies of evil, which they meddle in politics to push onto and godlessly harm innocent people with (such as their Satanic movements to DESTROY and DISPLACE THE FAMILY UNIT and NATURAL, GOD-ORDAINED PARENTHOOD; to KILL-OFF THE SICK, WEAK, OLD, and THE POOR; ETC.) God DEEMS THEM "INEXCUSABLE" - as he does the world's FALSE RELIGIONISTS also - FOR FAILING TO LIVE BY CONSCIENCE, and SEEK and THEN OBEY HIS GLOBALLY GIVEN WORDS. That atheists and false religionists TOGETHER are both being held INEXCUSABLE for their crimes against God, humanity, and individuals can be well seen in these verses. So, so-called "ignorance" as being a valid "excuse" for FAILING to seek, learn and obey God's laws is an "excuse" that has run DRY, even as God's scriptural words are so now globally available to the WORLD. The times of getting to claim "ignorance", or as a pop band long put it, "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" are PAST. These are God's prophetic words, being fulfilled now, as regards these very matters. There is NO excuse for DENIAL of God's existence, failing to see His manifestations in His creation and more of His truth in His words; and for outright rebellion and outrageous disobedience to His known commands: (Romans 1:18-32) "For God’s wrath is being revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who are suppressing the truth in an unrighteous way, 19 because what may be known about God is manifest among them, for God made it manifest to them. 20 For his invisible [qualities] are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable; 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God nor did they thank him, but they became empty-headed in their reasonings and their unintelligent heart became darkened. 22 Although asserting they were wise, they became foolish 23 and turned the glory of the incorruptible God into something like the image of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed creatures and creeping things.
24 Therefore God, in keeping with the desires of their hearts, gave them up to uncleanness, that their bodies might be dishonored among them, 25 even those who exchanged the truth of God for the lie and venerated and rendered sacred service to the creation rather than the One who created, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 That is why God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature; 27 and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their error.
28 And just as they did not approve of holding God in accurate knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mental state, to do the things not fitting, 29 filled as they were with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, badness, being full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malicious disposition, being whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, insolent, haughty, self-assuming, inventors of injurious things, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, false to agreements, having no natural affection, merciless. 32 Although these know full well the righteous decree of God, that those practicing such things are deserving of death, they not only keep on doing them but also consent with those practicing them."(Acts 17:24-28)The God that made the world and all the things in it, being, as this One is, Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in handmade temples, 25 neither is he attended to by human hands as if he needed anything, because he himself gives to all [persons] life and breath and all things. 26 And he made out of one [man] every nation of men, to dwell upon the entire surface of the earth, and he decreed the appointed times and the set limits of the dwelling of [men], 27 for them to seek God, if they might grope for him and really find him, although, in fact, he is not far off from each one of us. 28 For by him we have life and move and exist, even as certain ones of the poets among YOU have said, ‘For we are also his progeny.’THE TIMES OF IGNORANCE ARE OVER. ARMAGEDDON DAY from a rightfully angry God is SOON.
