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'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,

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

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.

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.

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....)

Sorry for saying you guys when I meant the RC church. Still don't think that qualifies as an ad-hominem attack. The fool that was called such was in response to a personal attack but is not the general tenor of my posts.

Your insistence that your church is Christ's church is just silly. It is the very foundation or soil for the propagation of hate. Personally I don't know how one can practice the blasphemy of praying to another than God (Mary and various other 'saints') and still be a true disciple of Christ .... but God is a God of miracles. I leave it alone.

Most of the other egregious sins attached to 'the church' are fomented by it's priests and its priestly structure so the duped parishioners are sinless themselves although they suffer by dint of the power held over them by said priests.

Why you would think me a Muslim really is beyond me. I would be an atheist before I would sink to that inhuman practice.
