Thank you for your reply.
As I understand your reply:
1. I’m allowed to criticize ‘the pope of swampfox’s armchair church.’
2. I’m allowed to say ‘pope-swampfox’s armchair church teaches false doctrine.’
3. I’m allowed to say, ‘the pope of swampfox’s armchair church sounds similar to ‘Harold Camping of end of the world fame.’
+ I have >specifically heard Harold Camping on his Radio Programs make specific anti-Catholic statements. & Harold Camping has professed a Predestination view of Salvation with a very limited number of people entering Heaven.
As you must have read comment #130 by now, pope-swampfox thinks only 6-8 million people are part of the ‘Lord’s Church.’
That is an amazing >exclusionary number out of 7 Billion people on earth.
As an observation, that number sounds more like a >cult-religion. Cults are discussed on freerepublic. = Please, don’t consider it a ‘personal statement’ directed to someone. Please consider it simply a descriptive term found on freerepublic.
4. When people deny membership in >any visible church, the only option left is to refer to them as ‘their name & armchair church.’ ‘Or as pope-name.’
5. Pope-swampfox was posting as the authority on scripture. That’s why I referred to him as ‘pope of scriptures’ & ‘pope of his armchair church.’
Religion Moderator, I did NOT NOT see in the guidelines where ‘asking a question over & over was considered
badgering.’ I thought it was extremely deceitful for pope-swampfox to deny any >visible church & then complain when we asked him (as pope of his own church) about his views.
I repeatedly ask deceitful pope-swampfox to explain where he learned his view of the scriptures. The fact he was so evasive about radio-preachers led me to ask the question 3 times.
Also, as a general question:
‘Are Religion Moderators members of a church or Religion that is hostile to the Roman Catholic Church.’
In my opinion based on two admonishments & viewing numerous comments by people that >hate the Catholic Church, there is a definite animosity towards the Catholic Church by at least one if not more Religion Moderators.
For the record: I was arguing with pope-swampfox as though he was a >pope of sorts. = The pope of his peewee armchair church & pope of the scriptures.
In the Roman Catholic Church, the title pope is one of honor. I do believe that pope-swampfox should be honored when Catholics refer to him as pope!!!
Thank you for your time. It’s a difficult job trying to be a Religion Moderator on a Roman Catholic thread where >hate-mongers are allowed to post insults against Catholics & the Catholic Church with impunity.
It is enough to state once that you believe that he is his own Pope and thereafter use a title that would apply to any person so situation, e.g. "self-Pope". That would not be "making it personal."
Religion Moderators do not reveal their own religious memberships.
If you are offended when posters insult your Church, beliefs, religious authorities and so on then you should IGNORE "open" Religion Forum threads altogether. They are in a town square format, thick-skin is required.
