Your new rules will make the posting climate here worse. They exacerbate the anti-Catholic bias in the rules.

They do not and would not as they would be enforced equitably, I'm sure. Since there is no mention of denominational affiliations, it cannot be biased against one group or another.

If you feel that that is the case, perhaps it would behoove you, or Catholics in general, to look at exactly how they are behaving that makes them feel that equitable enforcement of the rules would come across as *anti-Catholic bias*.

Next, since you go by sola scriptura, I gave you the above, but also, historically, we see that the early Church Fathers compared the observance of the Sabbath to the observance of the rite of circumcision, and from that they demonstrated that if the apostles abolished circumcision (Gal. 5:1-6), so also the observance of the Sabbath must have been abolished.

Jesus did not abolish circumcision...Christians still get circumcised today...Jesus abolished the Jewish reason for circumcision...

and Revelation 1:10 indicate that, even during New Testament times, the Sabbath is no longer binding and that Christians are to worship on the Lord’s day, Sunday, instead.

Sunday is not the Lord's day...Never has been...Never will be...That reference in Revelation is not a reference to Sunday...

If anything, Sunday is (some) Christian's day (to attend church)...

Yes and Christ became flesh and His body ascended into heaven and we believe His created body still “exists”. Hence we have a case of the immaterial God becoming material.

Jesus' body was changed...It is not the same body He walked around in on the earth...

LOL!

So, Father O’Halleran is sitting in the confessional. He hears some one come in and kneel down.

He says, “Father, I’m 92. Last night I ..,” and proceeds to describe a night of debauchery with three young ladies of dubious profession.

Father O’Halleran says, “Well, for that, I think a good penance would be a decade of the Rosary.”

The voice says, “The Rosary? But, Father, I’m Jewish!”

O’Halleran says, “You’re Jewish? Why are you telling me this?”

“Father, I’m telling everybody!”

At that point, you might as well say that islam got the idea from the Jews and the OT.

Islam did get the idea from the OT; I thought that was generally understood and accepted and completely non-controversial. They got a lot of ideas from the OT and from the NT too.

I said it was "apparently" through the influence of Islam. It could, of course, be merely coincidental that, after 700+ years of evidence of Christian use of images and no record of opposition)suddenly icononclasm sprung up independently in some Christian groups and among the newly powerful Muslims, though it seems to me unlikely. Still, coincidences do happen.

The use of such materials by those professing belief in Jesus clearly demonstrates an “Admission against self interest” on the part of the originator. and the class usually discerns as hypocrisy.

The cartoons in response to enlightening spiritual questions are prima facie evidence that the respondent has no meaningful evidence to refute or contradict the contentions. One might argue that the respondent did not want to make such an argument but a group of objective individuals invariably do not interpret the cartoon or silly response in that matter. These factors have been proved in the jury selection process gleaned over many years.

It is all about the Love Jesus demands in Mt 5 44:48 and the renunciation of the sinful pride and selfishness exhibited by many on this thread,

God bless

I’m not consciously aware within me of any “intention to inflame by design.”

I can't help it, I have to write this:

31. God of the substance of the Father, begotten before the worlds; and man of substance of His mother, born in the world.

Not likely...Jesus' flesh from His mother was changed...It was glorified...It became incorruptable...Just as will happen to us...

1Co 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
1Co 15:43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
1Co 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
1Co 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
1Co 15:46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
1Co 15:47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
1Co 15:48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
1Co 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

Just as those who have gone thru creamation at death...Their ashes will be brought together even tho their flesh was completely destroyed and be given a new body...

1Co 15:40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

1Co 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

Jesus had a a terrestrisl body...Jesus now has a celestial body...A spiritual body...Different body altogether...

35. One, not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh, but by taking of that manhood into God.

Again, you guys are confusing the terrestrial body with the celestial body...

Somehow you guys missed out on the mystery...

1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Jesus' human flesh was not manifest in God nor will it be...God was manifest in Jesus' flesh...You got it backwards...

They shelter even more bad behavior by reducing further the "cost" for such behavior.

****************

Dear sitetest,

I do wish that you would explain why you believe the new rules will make things worse. It matters to me, because I respect your opinions and I suspect that many others, particularly Catholics, feel the same.

I linked to everything to back it up. This is just a thoughtless defense of someone who was asked to leave the thread. So basically, you’re defending the indefensible.

Do you have any idea how old a lot of those “ornate” churches are?

I think my posts were pretty clear.

You should see Houston’s First Baptist or Second Baptist. They are both rather large. Neither are so large as the House of Joel. First Methodist has a multi-campus spread.

Have you been reading the posts? I don't believe I singled any one church out. Why the assumption?

Who are these people worshipping?

That is a great question. I've read posts from other FReepers trying to equate the ornateness of a church with the quality of worship. I think this is a rather odd position.

“’I have no sense’

“Keep praying...It’ll help...”

In what way does this brazenly taken out of context remark not qualify as a personal attack?? Why is this poster even here??
