You are right , I attributed to you words you did not say but did defend Sorry !Here was your post

To: ears_to_hear What are you saying is "the kind of same distinction" that Mormons make? I don't see any similarity. Would YOU please tell us what holiness is?
Another frequent antagonist on this forum likes to pose either/or questions, questions which strike me as all about how an eagerness to win a point can obscure the truth. I think that challenging someone to "define" holiness and to explain what is meant by localizing it in any way is not going to do any of us much good.
We have read about holy people and holy places, have we not? If God tells Moses to take his shoes off because the ground is holy, what questions should we ask God? 188 posted on 05/09/2007 5:49:32 PM EDT by Mad Dawg ( St. Michael: By the power of God, fight with us!)

You seem to agree with the original author I quoted, So I will just ask you, what made that ground holy?

This just proves you do not know what sola scriptura is or means

So why don't you define "what it is" or "what it means"?

As I told you, I have enough to do with my own stuff, without getting entangled in the multifarous debates and quarrels of the Protestant world. There are at least 3 flavors of sola scriptura I can point to right off ... of which one are you a proponent?

New rule on the forum:

Always ping every comment to Alex, Cuz as we all have come to know, it's all about Alex.

You first. I'mm really trying hard not to play games. I'm also waiting not only for your apology for jumping to conclusions about who said what but for judging me on the basis of the conclusions you reached through carelessness.

Please, as a brother in Christ (as I assume, possibly incorrectly, you to be), you seem to me to have some point you want to make about holiness. So make it already.

As I said, I do NOT want to play games. I did my high school forensics when I was in high school. You know I am likely to disagree with some part of what you say and you are likely to disagree with some part of what I say. But we can still learn from one another to God's glory and the benefit of his people. I will fight if that's the only way to proceed. But I'd much rather not.

(And, whoever it was who suggested I am a Christian Jihadist: - note how polemical all this is, how unwilling people are to act as brethren. And having noted it, whom will you call Jihadist then?)
