‘Deep Down, I Knew There Was 1 Truth’ (OPC convert to Catholicism)
National Catholic Register ^ | 27-04-2011 | Brian Kemper

Posted on 04/28/2011 8:24:27 AM PDT by Cronos

The problem I had was that what I had been told about Catholicism was simply not true; it was distorted teaching from Protestants who did not bother to discover the truth. ....

Over the last several years, I have known deep down that the Catholic Church must be more than I thought it was. I fought myself and denied all the signs I was seeing. I was afraid; even though I knew deep down there can only be one truth, I would always find something to dismiss Catholicism

At this time I had been a member of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church for almost 10 years.. I had also been in a constant journey for God’s truth, studying his word as well as church history. The problem I began to see, however, was that my church had no authority for how it interpreted Scriptures. We claimed to be sola scriptura, and yet to hold office in the church you had to subscribe also to the full truth of the Westminster Confession of Faith

err...? I said RM -— here is Alex Murphy “carrying arguments from one thread to another” as you pointed out this should be “argued on the original thread”.

This was just following your rules where the rules said Do not carry arguments from one thread to another, argue on the original thread

read post 108 which has a link to an argument on a 2010 thread --> Alex Murphy to Cronos, August 12, 2010 as per the forum rules, this is not allowed.

That is true, but post after post after post on this thread and other threads you and others are making the threads "about" individual Freepers.

That is making it personal and the result is flame war.

Discuss the issues all you want, but stop making it personal.

It is making it personal by pointing out that someone is breaking the rules by carrying arguments from one thread to another? Interesting.

No, it is not - but to inspect the other guy's posts and point the finger at him on multiple threads is "making it personal."

Removing 108 on this thread requires removing the posts which comment on it and the ones which caused it which are all "making it personal." That would make this thread look like Swiss cheese. It would be more efficient to lock it for "childish behavior."

hmmm.... so removing posts is not good — and yet this has been done on other threads instead of locking them.
