Alex Jones: the evangelical who became a Catholic deacon
Ecumenic threads are closed to antagonism.
To antagonize is to incur or to provoke hostility in others.
when in doubt, only post what you are “for” and not what you are “against.” Or ask questions.
Posters who try to tear down other’s beliefs or use subterfuge to accomplish the same goal are the disrupters on ecumenic threads and will be booted from the thread and/or suspended.
I think we can both learn from each other -- there is a time for impassioned speeches and a time for solemn prayer and reflection. God has a place for the passionate, emotional and the cerebral.

< shrug>. The claim is the same -- continuing, authoritative, extra-biblical revelation.
I’ve heard him speak. One thing that I remember him saying was that there was this “Gospel of Prosperity” thing in the 80s or so, that mislead many people into thinking about personal wealth and success instead of Christian morality and self-sacrifice. I guess at the time I had heard of one pastor like that in the San Diego area. I hadn’t realized it was a much bigger phenomenon.
He was an interesting and entertaining speaker, by the way.
