verga,
“I have more than justified my position during an online debate several years ago Here is the link: http://www.americancatholictruthsociety.com/debates.htm tags.”
1. We will be the judge of whether you provided enough facts, evidence or logical argumentation to support your very, very large truth claim.
2. Please post your facts, evidence and logic here. We are not going to run around the internet looking for easter eggs verga.
Either you can support your truth claim so sufficiently that a reasonable person will be persuaded that you nailed it, or you are going to high-five yourself without ever reaching the minimum standard.
We will wait to see if you are full of bluster or is you got the goods. So far the clock is ticking as you stall.
*groan*
Sola Scriptura - the Scriptures and the Scriptures alone are sufficient to function as the regula fide, the rule of faith for the Church. All that one must believe to be a Christian is found in Scripture and in no other source. That which is not found in Scripture is not binding upon the Christian conscience.

Do what you like, believe what you will.
Verga, I expected your claim was too big to lift. As such, we are forced to classify it as an opinion of yours. Nothing wrong with opinions.
Do we know if he swelled up? Thasall!
*He* being the bitee.

We should order wings! :P
Matthew 7:6
I’d bet that sign cannot be seen right now!
Since you didn't elaborate, I can only assume you are calling me, a Christian, a dog or a pig. Was that your intent?
If so, I suggest you read more of what Christ said...
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.John 13:34, 35
If I understand your posts correctly, instead of backing up your wild claim of truth, you want us to do work to figure out what you said in the past on another site in a different conversation, then you refused to provide anything, then you (apparently) justify not backing up your wild claim by insulting me or others. And your series of tragic posts do this in violation of Christ's admonition to every Christian.
I think a dose of sola scriptura would be a real help to you!
I am praying that Christ will finally come into your heart.
Perhaps you could start by demonstrating He is in yours?
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.Jesus Christ
I’m sorry the man died. He seemed to be a sincere Christian but his beliefs were illogical. My prayers for his family and friends.
Surprised he died so quickly from a rattlesnake bite. Either anaphylatic shock or the snake got a large blood vessel.
Rattlesnakes have a place in the ecosystem - in forests keeping down rodent populations, not being handled by people who don’t know enough about them.

No, speaking in tongues does not let you off the hook for loving other Christians.
Praying for you!
Thanks. I’ll pray for you too.
