I must be misunderstanding you. Are you saying that all evangelicals are Anti-Catholic?

Check the number of times I have posted this on a thread. The insults were flying when I did. Perhaps stepping in and toning down demeaning posts that are not meant for discussion might be a good rule of thumb. Christians demeaning Christians is not really Christian is it?

Of course not all evangelicals are "anti-Catholic" but likewise, if they believed the Roman Catholic doctrine was the full truth they would be Catholic.

Christians demeaning Christians is not really Christian is it?

That is a point which should be made time and again.

But the root of the contentiousness is that some believe that their doctrine is the whole and complete Truth and therefore the other guy is in error, or worse, not "Christian" at all.

That, IMHO, is the great value of the Religion forum - to help other posters and lurkers "work out their own salvation" (Phl 2:12).

"Christians demeaning Christians is not really Christian is it?"

When a Christian falls out of fellowship with God, he/she begins to scar their thinking and returns to a 'soulish' perspective. Sometimes, a simple reminder from a brother, is the least painful method for the backsliden Christian to catch himself and return to God on His terms via truning around back to obedience (repentance) and via 1stJohn 1:9 praying to the Father by faith in Christ of his/her sins for forgiveness (confession).

Another Christian method is not to interfere with a backsliden brother, letting them make themselves miserable in their self-pity and arrogance, simply ignoring their complaints about how all the world is beating them up and wallow in their frustrations.
