Was Mary Sinless?

Again, you don't control the forum either. If you don't like the way it's run or the way people respond, you are free to not participate. Nobody is forcing you to, you know.

Cronos,

If you have such an obsessive craving for authority and power, run for the office of local dog catcher. It's just a suggestion because you have no authority or power here.

If you try to exert your will on FR you'll go insane. Wrangling FReepers is like herding cats.

If this post offends you, you can simply ban me or suspend my account. Oh, yeah you can't do that. You don't have the authority!

Metmom,

Thank you for so eloquently saying what many of us have been thinking.

[Grizzled Bear]

I think you owe my an apology.

Look, if it will help, I'll apologize to Ann's an.

Ann's an, please accept my sincere apology. Can we all be friends now?

[metmom]

good point, metmom -- to GB, as you, metmom asked "Why do you need to badger the RM over stuff like this?"

Metmom evidently read your post 1641 that included the Religion Moderator and has asked "Why do you need to badger the RM over stuff like this?"

In post 1789, I just corrected your statement and told you what I did. You have just again repeated this false statement.

Doing it the first time could be construed as a misunderstanding. Doing it the second time, not.

This time I am calling you on it as a fact. You have made a statement about me that is untrue and repeated it even after being corrected. At the risk of being slapped down by the mod, I am calling this for what I see it, a lie. There can no longer be any misunderstanding of it on your part. I was clear enough.

Why do you persist in spreading something that you have been clearly told is untrue?

[Grizzled Bear]

Yes, good point, metmom -- to GB, as you, metmom asked "Why do you need to badger the RM over stuff like this?"

When you tried to moderate the board, I figured the RM should know that he's got a little helper.

Have you applied yet? I can write you a letter of reference, if you'd like.

Do not accuse another Freeper of telling a lie. That is a form of "making it personal" because it attributes motive, the intent to deceive.

Words such as "wrong" "false" "misleading" do not attribute motive.

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

So, met, your group acknowledges deniers of the Trinity and the divinity of Christ as fellow members?

Cronos,

Your tactics are just another version of "Have you stopped beating your wife."

Do you need help with your Moderator application?

[Grizzled Bear]

What ever is not contained in the inspired word of God was not thought important enough or relevant to our salvation by the Holy Spirit

What is your assurance that the traditions you like so much are from God and not men?

The Word made flesh, Jesus, set us free. Man made traditions are used to chain us.

Remember what Jesus said about the Pharisees, how they place heavy burdens on the backs of others.

Thanks for pushing the relevant question, RnMomof7.

It is fascinating that Romanists see the Gospel as a set of books.

They see it as a “to-do manual”.

Let’s pray God opens they eyes and ears to know it has nothing to do with doing.

[Uri’el-2012]

Have a wonderful journey on the wide road of life.

When one tells a falsehood repeatedly
after they have been advised of it's falseness.

It becomes a LIE from the pits of HELL !

You seem to be giving succor to the RCC flame-baiters.

Under your watch this forum has descended into a wallow of RCC flame-baiters.

Seek the face of YHvH in His Word.

[Cronos]

To Uri:

This is an "open" thread in the Religion Forum. Posters may argue for or against beliefs. They may condemn dieties, religious authorities, beliefs, authors, etc. But they must not "make it personal" - e.g. reading minds, attributing motives, make the thread "about" individual posters. Thick skin is required on "open" RF threads.

If you are not comfortable with this town square style of debate, then IGNORE "open" RF threads altogether and instead post to threads labeled "caucus" "ecumenical" "prayer" or "devotional."

Of course, if you do jump on board then be ready

[Iscool]

Oh, it’s quite simple, if you read history. The best starting point is the Didache — this is a manual written around 70 AD which describe the proper process for conducting Christian rituals.

Well certainly...The Apostle Paul wrote of the Didache as well...

2Co 2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

Gal 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Gal 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

The biblical church was not instructed to perform rituals...So we don't...We leave that to the Druids...

[RobRoy]

>>Which is exactly what Catholics believe and have been insisting on.<<

That is good. I just got the feeling that a few people seemed to think it was the other way around. My wife is from a very devout catholic family. None of them, to the best of my knowledge, believe that Mary was perfect, or that she never had sex with Joseph, etc. But I’ve come across a weird sect here at FR that does actually believe this. I was blown away when I first heard it. It took several posts before I realized the guy was not pulling my leg.

lol, just messin’ with ya

[Iscool]

Oh, and Iscool also pointed out in post 951 that "No Protestant says everything has to be in scripture" -- so Iscool seems to say that sola scriptura is wrong and no Protestant follows it (though it's silly for Iscool to claim to speak for "all Protestants" since he seems to belong to a cult with membership one)

You don't make a very good mind reader...

The scripture doesn't tell us what we should wear when we meet together...The scripture doesn't tell us how big the crowd should be or whether we should have our church in a house or a field...

But when it comes to doctrine, it's ALL in the scripture...

[Ann Archy]

you are thick...look at #1689.......

Dear Fellow freepers....I had NO idea that there are SO many Catholic HATERS on this site!! I have NEVER gone on a Prostestant thread to demean what they believe....I couldn't care less.
