Posting a link to a debate between a Reformed Baptist apologist and a Catholic priest is “Catholic bashing” in your mind?
Reformed Baptist (or Southern [Redneck :-)] Baptist) is “pretty good” — the baptism metaphor is one that seems to be so often missed for the operation of the Holy Spirit and there is a robust corrective here — but as I have begun to see, even it has some problems, imposed by where it found itself in the Calvinist/Arminian split.
I am one crazy Evangelinut. I see things espoused as doctrines on either the Calvinist or the Arminian side that seem to be missing a unified picture. The Calvinists have a harder time appreciating the things associated with choice and will; the Arminians have a harder time appreciating the things associated with destiny. The theological formulations on both side lack force in either one area or the other.
God seems to be saying — don’t get so cocky. Learn from the character of Christ, which needs the bible, and yet transcends what mere human eyes can glean from the bible.
One thing it does do, though, is give them an excuse for not addressing the subject of the thread. Pitiful excuse but useful nonetheless.
The slightest material that impugns Rome is "anti-Catholic bigotry," and should be banned on this pro-God, pro-American forum ("A public facility to meet for open discussion:" -WordWeb).
No. It appears that *Catholic bashing* is whatever happens to be something that is said that some individual Catholic doesn't like because they feel it makes the Catholic church look bad.
That seems to be the only criteria needed to label something as such.
