Catholics, when talking about being alive, are referring to being alive in Christ. Anyone in hell is not alive in Christ.

I realize that and even agree, but what I was pointing out was the fact that even on a topic as "Catholic" as the idea of Transubstantiation, which depends upon the literal reading of the text involved, you display a tendency to switch back and forth from a literal understanding of the passage to an allegorical understanding of the passage.

My whole point in showing this was to illustrate the fact that while those of us who hold the view that the Biblical record can be divided up into different Dispensations, we come to that conclusion by letting Scripture interpret itself, which is the same manner which Catholics claim they come to their conclusions about Transubstantiation. We don't rely on the traditions of man, despite what some might say, otherwise I and other Fundamentalists wouldn't have come to that conclusion in the first place, and frankly what bronx2 was trying to do by attacking the Scriptural support for the Dispensations and ignoring the evidence that is presented to him is as intellectually dishonest as anything I've ever seen on this board. In a word, he was acting like a Troll.

Like it or not, when you stated that you enjoyed the posts by bronx2, you supported his trolling behavior and I decided to give you and him some of your own medicine.

Now if you want to have a real conversation, I'm all for it, but I can't say the same for bronx2. His posting history has shown just how troll-like his behavior can be and frankly I have no use for someone like that.

The ball is in your court now.

No, I don't.

I don't think so.

Sure you do.

That's your opinion. Others see if differently.

His posting history has shown just how troll-like his behavior can be and frankly I have no use for someone like that.

I'm not going to end up agreeing with you either. Does that automatically make me "troll like"?

The ball is in your court now.

The ball is in my court now for what?
