Please note Post #1. This is an ecumenical thread, and I have requested a spirit of generosity in the style of communication. By that, I mean maintaining a steadfast commitment to the Truth, but at the same time working to understand what your interlocutor really means before attempting to undermine them. Let's try to avoid straw man arguments, 'gotcha games', fallacious styles of reasoning, and try to start with a common ground and carefully, warmly, and gently, with charity, identify differences in doctrine, comparing and contrasting perspectives.

"Be kind and tender to one another. Forgive each other, just as God forgave you because of what Christ has done" (Ephesians 4:32). It is then that we are more able to "speak the truth in love" (Ephesians 4:15). G

God bless.
