I’m sure this post won’t stay up long… But as a born-again evangelical I no longer feel comfortable on this site. It has become openly and aggressively pro Catholic. Catholicism is heresy.
Thank you Jim for putting so much effort into this clearinghouse of ideas… But the bombardment of papers nonsense can a longer be tolerated by me.
God bless all who proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord. God bless America
Everything is the default but you can browse by forum as well.
“Why confuse a brittle ideologue by suggesting flexibility?”
Usually it is a bad sign when someone posts something for which they expect to be banned. This applies to any forum, really. But it doesn’t hurt to try.
I just read your post. It is true. A few years ago, I got so fed up that I quit reading FR. It was constant criticism of Protestants. I have enough problems without all of that. Thanks for posting. God bless.
You got me where this is coming from. I about as protestant as it gets, Southern Baptist and have never felt any pressure about my religion on FR. I have criticized the pope on here and had Catholics agree with me in most cases for his leftist ideology which leads to death and misery as history has shown time and again.
In regards to religious I take no pleasure in dinging anyone’s beliefs but if asked about will give my opinion and will defend my beliefs. If you get into a religious discussion and post you may or may not take a hit back by someone, that is the cost of stepping into the arena.
Thanks! When that happened, I think it was just their specific church, not denomination wide... I had already moved away when he and half the church left over it, I never got a full story from him...
From what I did pick up after he passed, I think the pastor’s son came out as gay and the acceptance message moved to the pulpit.
Thanks for that correction!
I try to learn something new every day, so I will remember that now.
Thanks for your gracious response!
The Church, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, would not support a tyrant. But ... and here's the catch ... persons within the Church might, theoretically, support a tyrant. Persons are flawed and make stupid choices. But said person is NOT the Church.
people make the organization. The concepts of Jesus can and does get corrupted by people.
damn auto-correct, it shoulda been biscuit...
silly things kids say, see post #71 also
LOLOL!!! love it... and PDQ Bach.
100%
I am not sure what you mean, but the parish is required to give a certain percentage of donations to the diocese.
The diocese then gives a certain percentage to Rome.
Kind of works like Amway.
Nope. Jesus left us a church. And he promised that the gates of hell shall not prevail. His word remains.
You have yet to show that this church is Roman Catholicism.
You’re indirectly financially supporting Marxism?
Let me get this straight. Jesus left a structure that has been corrupted but he said the gates of hell will not prevail.
Doesn't ever structure require a strong foundation? Jesus gave that foundation it's up to us to maintain it.
I suppose you could say that I am indirectly supporting a Marxist.
The Catholic Church is not Marxist.
Just about all of the major denominations are headed by Marxist these days.
Well, Protestant-ism in all that is placed under that title, but Catholicism is the most manifest deformation of the NT church. But since Rome has presumed to infallibly declare she is and will be perpetually infallible whenever she speaks in accordance with her infallibly defined (scope and subject-based) formula, then that renders her declaration that she is infallible, to be infallible, as well as all else she accordingly declares
Roman Catholicism didn’t even have an infallable canon until decades after Luther.
"Claimed" infallible. Not decades after his death though. I think it was was months (Fourth Session of Trent, celebrated on April 8, 1546, defined the RC canon) after Luther died (February 8,1546).
And Luther was no maverick but had substantial RC support for his non-binding canon, which Protestantism differed from.
That wasn’t the topic. The topic was who we put our faith in ... men (who can be corrupted) or Jesus. I’ll take Jesus.
