It’s bash Catholics Wednesday.
It is interesting that so much of the theology of your ‘church’ includes trashing Catholics.
You are sadly predictable.
AMDG
divinely instituted, of course. Thank you.
**It is interesting that so much of the theology**
Theology?
I have to say that you need to get your categories correct.
Christians bash other Christians on FR with alarming frequency, as if there weren’t much bigger fish to fry.
And Jesus wept...
Good article. Is this a start to a series?
I send best wishes to everyone on their spiritual journey!
After much experience with the Church I recommend going direct to God and ignoring so-called organized religion. It has been corrupted beyond immediate repair much as all systems of govt and religion worldwide have been corrupted.
There is no indication extant that an intermediary institution between a soul and God is required or even desirable. I believe the opposite is more likely.
I have acquired unlimited faith in God and none in organized religion.
If you believe something posted here is incorrect, you are welcome to refute it with facts. Using what amounts to an ad hominem argument to support the Romanist position is not just weak, but in poor taste. We are interested in facts from the Bible...not your opinion.
Ha! What a sad way to live a life.
A fact-free post deserves a fact-free response.
Christians (like yourself) bash other Christians on FR (by labeling them "bashers") with at least this post, as if there weren't much bigger fish to fry. And Jesus wept...
Sadly inconsistent, aren't you?:
1. You preach "thou shalt not 'bash'" ... as you bash
2. You preach "Thou shalt fry much bigger fish" ... all as you take the time to post on a thread featuring the size of fish typically tossed back into the water.
Have you thought a more consistent message might actually have more traction?
My initial thoughts as well. Thus asked if this was an introduction to a series of some sort.
However, being the curious type, I actually went to the link and the author used this blog post to generate a discussion at his site. The discussion and justification for his initial comments are there to examine for those who want to.
What seemed to me initially as a ‘drive by’ is actually a person who wants to engage in an honest dialogue with Catholics and Protestants.
But yes, this one piece relies on many other posts/works of the author and understand your comments.
Check out the site if you have time or interest.
Then give us the authority for Rome from the Bible...if it exists. Crickets.
Crickets? Where have you been? Here's just a few from my own posting history...
Explaining the Authority of the Pope
Explaining the Authority of the Church
More on the Authority of the Church
Even more on the Authority of the Church
Explaining the Fatherhood of the Priesthood
Explaining the Problems with Sola Scriptura
Seriously... hardly a day or even a thread can go by without this very same challenge. It gets answered. You don't listen. It's your choice not to listen... but "crickets"?!
Hey, you! Stop bashing the basher bashers.
Just check out “Pagan Christianity” by Frank Viola and Gerrge Barna, and you will find all the statistics and sources to declare The Romanists have an organization of pagan philosophy stamped on a Christian origin. IMHO, and that of the authors. The Protestantism of Calvin, Luther, and Knox fares little better, although they did surface some irrefutable complaints to the Roman mechanism.
My point is perfectly consistent. Just pointing out that Christians aren’t safe from other Christians here on FR. Any more than that, you’re adding your own interpretation.
Or should we say “Thumbs up or thumbs down on the false protest-ant church?”
