Translation, thanks for coming to our side NC's, but don't get the impression we'll do the same for you when Proud2BAmerican comes back on and makes fun of the Holy Spirit within you, we'll stay low just as we did before.
How about a little reassuring from your side. JH
Then we agree on this as well.
I don't think the average lay person or someone of another religion (or denomination) should be determining who is or isn't schismatic.
I calls 'em as I sees 'em. If you don't like it, feel free to ignore.
Sorry, not Biblical. (^g^) JH
Yes, I put bassman on my list of "good NCs." I don't recall the episodes you are talking about, but I can promise that if you are offended by something, that I will join you in asking for an apology or at least a cease and desist. We often are not great judges of what offends others, so I might need your help to identify such.

Yeah, what's up with that?! Why did you guys have to go and add something to a perfectly good creed?! ;-)
Oh, and do you see how Dr. Z and a couple of other pundits are hinting about Rams-Pats having the potential to look like Bills-Giants? As a former NJ boy and Giants fan, I'd love it!
oooohhh ... that there's a fightin' word
It's gonna be hatvius vs mokoi in here pretty soon.

I believe it is "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?" Dad still has a reel-to-reel with a bunch of old radio shows. (I could be dreadfully wrong)
Only for medicinal purposes, but I haven't been feeling well lately.... :)

It's not an addition, just an amplification. By the way, the filioque is optional in Eastern rite Catholic Churches. So it shouldn't be an obstacle to re-union.

You used to be a Giants and then what? You moved?
I hope the game is entertaining, as I am still escaping with my wife to go see it on the big screen at a converted movie theatre/bar and grill.

You ever gonna respond to my post?
That sounds like a "Harley" mine is a FLHT. :)

Well, there are definitely more pressing obstacles than this. But its the only one that can summed up in to so neat and tidy a word. I'll have to dig for the Roman perspective on the usage. I think we promised not to discuss the filoque, but obviously from our side it seems indicative of a tendency to dimish the power of the Holy Spirit. Thus it seems of-a-piece with such issues as what we consider to be the RCC obsession with centralized administrative authority, the consequence of not fully trusting the ability of the Holy Spirit to maintain the unity of the faith. There, now I've gone and discussed it! Shoot. :-)
