The YOPIOS defense is widely used when a Scriptural point cannot be refuted. It is a debate ender because the originator of the post creates an insurmountable divide that cannot be breached. Therefore, taking its use as one’s surrender of rationality and reason is fair.
YOPIOS always loses!
I thought leg wrestling rules stated that “uncle” was the appropriate cry of defeat!
I have a sincere question. Why does this have to be a discussion with someone who claims victory and wants to have a “win.” Do you get together at meetings and gleefully state how you slew another ignorant Catholic? Didn’t Christ’s victory count enough for you?
We are all Christians and you sincerely interpret Scripture at times at variance with how the Catholic Church does. You can’t deny that or you would not have a soteriology different from ours and we’d have little to chat about except the drought in the Everglades. So what? There are those on this thread who once walked your walk and now walk ours. And, there are those who went vice-versa!
I am sad that you left the Catholic Church, but I pray for those who have left. There are some in my own family, in fact. If you wish to claim victory do so, FRiend.
Congratulations! You win for
“Y.O.P.I.O. on the Reason for Thread Discussions!”
