Correct...And Paul the Apostle was the leader of that sect...And he warns (in the scripture which is the result of the traditions he taught) about religions like yours...
2Co 2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
So there we were, having a nice, polite conversation. Do we all agree? No. But are we being disagreeable in our discussion? Hardly.
Then, out of the blue, we have an individual who believes it is his God-given responsibility to start throwing ****-bombs in the middle of a perfectly nice thread:
- But I'll bet you'd be hard pressed to find the average Catholic that would know there is noting in the scripture that would lead one to beieve these statements are credible...
- Not at all, coming from the Catholic religion...
- And he warns (in the scripture which is the result of the traditions he taught) about religions like yours...
Now I pinged all of you to ask you for your opinion on this...is the behavior appropriate? Does it reflect the presence of Christ in the person's life? Is it a manifestation of the fruits of the Spirit?
I'm just curious...I know many of you do not agree with Catholicism (or Eastern Orthodoxy...the source from which the original article comes). And I'm not asking you for your approval or disapproval of either of those religions. I am asking you whether or not you believe it's appropriate to invade a thread that is going along so politely...
Thanks, in advance, for your responses...
