Uh, where EXACTLY did the author show any "emotionalism" as opposed to "solid Biblical teaching"?

LOLOL. From the very first sentence...

"If you grew up Catholic, it may be difficult for you to relate to those who profess faith in Jesus but whose stomachs turn at the thought of being Catholic..."

Very "solid" and unemotional. LOL.

LOL!

He’s stating a fact, not emotion.

Ask the Rev. Paisley in Northern Ireland.

No, there is nothing in the first sentence about his actual conversion. He was remembering his thoughts years ago about what he would have thought about a conversion at that time. I asked something different. I asked: Uh, where EXACTLY did the author show any “emotionalism” as opposed to “solid Biblical teaching”? And that question was in regard to this statement: “Delusion ALERT! Emotionalism never makes up for solid Biblical teaching.”

“Very “solid” and unemotional. LOL.”

If you are admitting that Protestant views of Catholicism are emotional in the extreme, I would agree. But that isn’t what I asked for, nor is it what LiteKeeper asserted.

Also, a stomach turning isn’t even necessarily a sign of “emotionalism”. People often experience such things, for instance, when they see a dead body. I would hardly call that emotionalism.

I see no “emotionalism” in the article. I certainly see no emotionalism being put in place of “solid Biblical teaching” either. I think LiteKeeper will be as unsuccessful as you have been.

Did you grow up Catholic?
