[BibChr]

You're still on my "ignore" list, Campion; I broke my rule again, but only briefly.

Your terrible privilege is to choose to preach manmade traditions and impotent rituals, to the glory of a sect, to the damnation of precious souls.

I'll go on preaching Jesus Christ as sole and sufficient Savior, by His grace alone, through faith alone, from the Word of God alone, to the glory of God alone.

But you'll have the poorer deal.

I'll go on preaching Biblical Christianity, all of it, thanks be to God. You'll go on claiming to.

[Campion]

impotent rituals

By the way, do you really think God commanded "impotent rituals" -- because he certainly commanded baptism -- and sent Ananias, under the guise of a righteous man, to lie to Paul?

What kind of God does that?

Why don't you just believe in the Scriptures, instead of clinging to silly slogans that stick four things while simultaneously insisting that they're "alone". (That flunks logic, not to mention Scripture.)

[Flying Circus]

Chalk one up for Campion. It sounds like UnBibChr can't win the arguement and can't take losing it.

BC: If you have an ignore list, please pput me on it too. Any other Catholics out there thorougly fed up with Luther come latelies butting in on every Catholic thread as a venue for rank opportunism in "instructing" those who belong to the Church established by Jesus Christ Himself and guaranteed by Him as to what wwe should believe that He did not teach? Just because there are a few thousand varieties of of differing YOPIOS sects out there arising siunce 1517, does not mean that anyone invited there adherents to "instruct" us as to what they imagine the Bible might mean according to their own personal tastes.

I do not look for opportunities to "instruct" Reformed Christians nor do most Catholics do so. As to the Roman Catholic Church, you do not have to belong, but, if you do not, please have the manners to mind your own business.

If you really think that Judge Bork's decision to be baptized into the Roman Catholic Church after many years of agnosticism, soul-searching, and accomplishment for our political causes (yours and mine) is any of your business, don your most effective asbestos underwear and write him at American Enterprise Institute to tell him so. Don't opportunistically attempt to use his act of Faith as yet another chance to evangelize on the cheap.

Whatever you want to preach, preach it to your own choir. I cannot imagine being interested by anyone rude enough to relentlessly pester me and other CAtholics with YOPIOS at every opportunity. We can agree on abortion, on the evils of lavender lotharios and child molesters, etc. but your personal take on Scripture does not and never will interesdt me in the slightest nor will it interest any Catholic who has anything vaguely resembling adequate Catholic catechization. We are Jesus Christ's own Church not the trend of the week club that waited nearly 1500 years after His crucifixion and resurrection to arise.

If you respond, I won't be back until tonight and I have pinged a few others to carry on in my absence and I urge them to ping their lists as well.

You're still on my "ignore" list, Campion; I broke my rule again, but only briefly.

HA! That's only because you Bib, can not stand up to Campion's questions.

[LurkingSince'98]

BibChr,

You did NOT answer Champion's question!

Enquiring minds want to know - or am I going on your "ignore" list too.

Answer the question.
