That sure says a lot about something.

Yes, it does: that you demand to know my denomination is pretty conclusive proof that you hold yourself out in the role of inquisitor. My religious affiliation is no secret at FR or elsewhere. You can go look it up, if you so desire. But my denominational affiliation is also very much irrelevant to the discussion at hand.

The only thing you need to know, is that I'm not a Catholic defending my own denomination. And from that you're supposed to learn that denomination is not the defining feature of Christian brotherhood. But you refuse to learn, apparently.

Next time you tell us you're "not a Catholic" and that Bible-believing Christians "are wrong," your remarks will be considered by the light of your refusal to say just who and what you are.

I don't say that "Bible-believing Christians" are wrong. Then again, that doesn't mean that someone who professes to be "Bible-believing" is necessarily correct, either.

I will admit to despising the term, however, as it tends to be used by those who portray themselves as being the only folks who actually believe the Bible. This thread, and your participation in it, provide many fine examples of it. But here's the rub: it's quite clear that you don't have an exclusive lock on Biblical truth.

Where would we do that?

I will admit to despising the term (Bible-believing Christians)...

Every time I've seen anyone ask you for your denomination, you refuse to give it, although you assure us you're "not a Catholic," and that you "despise the term, 'Bible-believing Christian.'"

Where on this forum do you tell anyone your church affiliation?

Because it's you who is arguing according to what you say you are not, rather than the rest of the Protestants and Catholics here who are arguing according to what they are. You have consistently dodged the question of your church affiliation every time it's been asked.

Are you ashamed of your church denomination, much the same as you think "Bible-believing Christians" should be ashamed for the "despicable" term they use?
