[Uri’el-2012]

You are quick to sin and then demand an act of forgiveness from those you offend as though it were an entitlement or divine right. I am not called by Beatitude to tolerate lies and slander. Tolerance is not a Christian value but charity, justice, mercy, prudence, honesty are. Tolerance is an important working principle, but tolerating sin, evil and a lack of charity is itself a form of sin and serious evil. Charity is the theological virtue by which we love God above all things for his own sake, and our neighbor as ourselves for the love of God. Charity always proceeds by way of respect for one's neighbor and his conscience. When lying, defaming and yourself demonstrating a lack of charity against your Catholic brethren and wounding their conscience you sin against Christ." (I Cor 8:12 ) Therefore "it is right not to do anything that makes your brother stumble." So going forward you would best serve God, Free Republic, and yourself by preceding your lunatic fringe theories of history and Catholic dogma with a simple disclaimer.

It always the same;
ATTACK THE MESSENGER NEVER DISCUSS THE ISSUE.

Paul in 1 Cor 8:12 is talking about offering food to idols.
but you rip it out of context.
Try reading 1 Cor 8 the whole chapter in context.

So much for your advanced theological degrees.

May one day come to know the ONE true YHvH and seek His Salvation.

Attacking me, the Pope, and the Catholic Church does not allow you to jump the queue and move you closer to heaven. In fact just the opposite happens. You may believe that you have acquired a secret decoder ring that permits you and you alone to know the Word of God, but the simple truth is in the simplicity of Christ's message. We are all called to beatitude, not just the Jews, or the Christian-like cults that spring up claiming to be the elect. If we obey His two greatest commandments and live the beatitudes Salvation is ours.

So going forward you would best serve God, Free Republic, and yourself by preceding your lunatic fringe theories of history and Catholic dogma with a simple disclaimer. Now please stop lurking and sniping on every thread that touches Catholicism and the Church and go bother someone else in God's name.
