Did you plan to gain some added influence through posting a dozen times when one would have sufficed?

Your problem is you just don't know what a Protestant is. You are not alone as most protestants don't know what they are either. I protest the RC church. I despise many of its practices and I believe it to be literally shot through with error and blasphemous doctrine. At this time it is driving people to literally despise the Gospel. It's very Bishops conspiring together to cover up, if not participate in, a crime.

By the grace of God your institution still points the way to Christ. They make it difficult and fraught with detours but .... they have not lost their first love .... yet. Probably about as many sinners find salvation through Roman Catholicism as do the pew warmers in your average dead boring denominational Protestant church.

The irony is monumental.

Our job, as Christians, was to take the Gospel to all men. Well we've done about a good a job as did the Hebrews at establishing God's kingdom in the Promised Land.

Just like they, we muffed it. After many centuries of failure we split right down the middle and even warred with each other instead of glorifying God. But God is not mocked. His word shall prevail... even if just as He did on the Cross ... He makes it happen Himself.

Try to remember that I have attacked the institution of the Roman Catholic Church. Not you as an individual. I know it is hard for you but try to refrain from ad homonym attacks.

I'm objecting to your misinterpretations not to Protestant teachings. Since you don't claim to belong to any Protestant church, what makes you think I'm referring to THEIR teachings, I'm talking about YOUR teachings, Aziz,

So, you are against God's Church? You despise it's practise of worshipping The Christ? You despise its doctrine of worhipping God?

Your propaganda piece has been shot to pieces (pun intended as was the TARDIS) by NYer in post #158. The Church in not in error and is not blasphemous.

You mean your posts like

I'm not sure exactly where on earth you guys dreamed up the crazy idea of a celibate priesthood. I just know it did not come from heaven as it is not only NOT in the Bible .... it contravenes direct Bible teaching. To me the horror of pedophile priests is stark testament to the evil of this practice. One has to be under a spell not to see it. Just THIS makes Roman Catholicism in danger of hellfire.

Or you refrain from ad homonym attacks? like in post # 58:
Are you a fool? You sound like one. You sound like a person who knows nothing of the history of their church. Just like a Muslim.

Now, Salman, Ali, Haseena whatever be your name, if you so believe in what you want to say, you could very easily have described it. However, you've chosen to not describe God, but launch a diatribe against Christ's Church. If you have a central theme you believe in, then spout it out, but don't base your beliefs on negatives (NOT Catholic, NOT Orthodox, NOT main-line Protestant, NOT... NOT.... NOT....)
