I disagree that nature is the issue. You, apparently have no problem with Obama, and Ezekial Emanuel’s ideas on a health care plan.
Why don’t you say it now... or does the idea of answering that question scare your socks off? (see, I found another phrase)
You and Buck have no idea when you’re being toyed with, do you?
“Not at all. They’re [Catholic Church and the Pope] just generally not well educated in the parts of the Bible that deal with this.”
Sounds like Kathleen Sibelius (sp?) on ObamaCare! I’m tellin’ ya, these YECs are all Alinsky leftists!
I would have said: acceptance of the Apostles Creed, but there ain't nothing about denying Darwinism in there.
One that believes in Jesus Christ, the virgin born son of God that died for our sins, and is the only way to the Father; and accept God’s word as inerrant, and the decider of all things on Earth.
“So, Catholics, Orthodox and most other denominations who call themselves Christians are Christians. “
Thank you for the straightforward answer.
“You and Buck have no idea when you’re being toyed with, do you?”
Are “they” toying with “us”?
I have been hearing good Christians say it for over 50 years. I am not positive but I think it may have got a start by good Christians that replace 'the hell out of me' with 'the pants off of me'.
The apostles creed is a creation of men, and is no measure of one's salvation.
Leave this one out, “ Excepting in the case of man himself, hardly anyone is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed.”
And this one... “Vaccination has preserved thousands who from a weak constitution would formerly have suc-cumbed to smallpox. Thus, the weak members of civilized societies propagate their kind. No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man....”
Or you can just snippet us to death.
That answer doesn’t jive with the one given in 140.
“accept God’s word as inerrant”
Even the allegory?
“and the decider of all things on Earth.”
Except who’s Christian, of course. You get to decide that.
I think it is wishful thinking. One of the posters reacted to a common phrase with thoughts of viewing private parts.
Nutshell.
“The apostles creed is a creation of men, and is no measure of one’s salvation.”
What part of the creed do you take issue with?
It's no different than you wanting to. Why condemn others for doing the very thing you're trying to do?
When you try to nail him down on any specific quotes and how he comes to his conclusion from that post, he jumps the shark.
GG:The problem is that you are asking people who embrace Christianity to condemn others so that you can use their words for your own personal, sick purpose.
You: Nutshell.
Buck has never asked you to condemn others. I would have to infer from the above that to answer the question would require you to either lie or to condemn Catholics.
“It’s no different than you wanting to. Why condemn others for doing the very thing you’re trying to do? “
I’m not trying to decide. I’m asking you if Catholics are Christians, and it’s scaring your pants off.
I know little of Catholocism and very much appreciate your reply. I would no sooner answer for the faith of the Catholic than I would defend the Atheist (who is, in my opinion indefensible). This is mostly because I don’t subscribe to either. I do, however know that the Catholic subscribes to the same Holy Text (with some exception) as I do and that makes it easy to defend based on the scriptures. I actually don’t believe most Catholics are evolutionists, but it matters little what I believe about Catholics when I don’t attend the church or study their doctrine. It’s a fairly widely unnaccepted concept in the Catholic church as far as I know. That’s one of the reasons I argued with Buck when he made the rather assinine claim that almost every Christian believes in Evolution.
His claims are generally baseless.
“When you try to nail him down on any specific quotes and how he comes to his conclusion from that post, he jumps the shark.”
I wonder if “he” knows that “we’re” toying with “him”.
