It does not.
I gotta admit I haven’t thoroughly read the thread in meticulous detail (although I’ve skimmed over it, and also checked my ping list to be sure that this didn’t happen), but I haven’t seen any further response by you (Quix) or anyone (except for a few people who I’ve already replied to, who, by the way, never really addressed the central question) to my post #145 on this thread.
I’m sincerely interested in what you (everyone, and not just those pinged, hence the “All” in the ping) think of it. Even if you will post something that I already addressed with any one else about it, don’t worry about said “repetition” (I won’t scold you for it I promise! LOL)
I’m interested in everyone’s opinion about it, because I think it relates to the OP better than anything else that has transpired in the last 1000+ posts.
I’m pinging you Quix because you asked me to remind you about it. Again though, I’d like anyone’s opinion about it.
It seems this thread has (once again, that is, like many other Protestant vs Catholic thread) devolved, and yes, I use the word “devolved” for what should be obvious reasons to anyone who bothers to even skim it, into the typical issues of “Mary, the Saints in general, the Eucharist, etc”, even though that wasn’t the original post’s intent (which was sola scriptura, as far as I can tell).
General rant not directed at you particularly Quix, but at everyone: I mean, do we want to discuss issues to make progress, or do we want to “discuss” issues to “beat the other guy up”? Because if we don’t want to make progress in at least understanding the other side, I see little point to any of these types (Catholic vs Protestant) of threads.
Please, what do you all think of my post #145? This is the last time I’ll ask if my repeated question to that end is getting annoying to anyone and/or is simply ignored (and, if so, I’ll leave you all to “My belief is better than yours”, “discussion”, like Manfred the Wonder Dawg’s now huge thread “Conclusion from Peru and Mexico”).
