[Uri’el-2012]

If your (Uri's) “protestant” group believes it’s wrong to eat pork, then that's your (Uri's) group's problem, we don't mind what you do, just don't condemn Gamecock and the rest of us for not following Mosaic dietary restrictions

YOU DO KNOW THAT STATEMENT IS A LIE.

DO NOT REPEAT IT AGAIN !

[Cronos]

you do realise this is a question, right?

If your (Uri's) “protestant” group believes it’s wrong to eat pork, then that's your (Uri's) group's problem,

we don't mind what you do, just don't condemn Gamecock and the rest of us for not following Mosaic dietary restrictions

We don't mind that you do -- that's no lie, your group can believe it wrong to eat pork.

Just that your group should not condemn Gamecock and the rest of us for not following Mosaic dietary restrictions

Or, wait, do you object to having your group called "Protestant"?

[Cronos]

Let's break down the supposition/question further

If your (Uri's) “protestant” group believes it’s wrong to eat pork, then that's your (Uri's) group's problem,

we don't mind what you do, just don't condemn Gamecock and the rest of us for not following Mosaic dietary restrictions

1. If your (Uri's) "protestant" group --> does your group think it's wrong to call your group Protestants?

2. If your group believes it's wrong to eat pork --> does your group believe it is ok to eat pork?

3. Then it's your (Uri's) group's problem --> does your group think it's wrong to say it's your cult's choice to believe what your group wishes to believe?

4. we don't mind what you do, --> does your group believe it wrong to have this "lax" attitude -- does it persecute members who do eat pork?

5. just don't condemn Gamecock and the rest of us for not following Mosaic dietary restrictions --> Note the quote from met -- your group shouldn't condemn the rest of us for not following Mosaic dietary restrictions or believing in the Trinity or the Divinity of Christ.

[Cronos]

And since we're on your group, tell us again why it denies the Divnity of Christ and the Trinity? Does your group have a sound doctrine on why it does this?

Also, the belief that people of Western European descent, particularly those in Great Britain, are the direct lineal descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel is kind of silly, sorry to say that, why does your particular group believe that?

[Cronos]

Oh, and didn’t Jesus say something about calling folks rabbi? Does your group call it’s religious leaders rabbis?

[Religion Moderator]

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.

[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

It's nothing but an attempt to cause trouble, everything Cronos posts is an attack on somebody.

I don't eat pork because I don't like it, not because of any "Mosaic dietary restrictions"
