LOL! That's right up there with "have you stopped beating your wife yet?" The jury has convened and a verdict rendered, now let's hear from the defendant. Or not.
Did you trouble yourself to read the second link in my earlier post? The question is not whether Baptists are dualists, gnostics, etc. Clearly not. The question, raised in the thread referenced, is whether the many, many souls destroyed by the Roman jihadists were actually guilty of the theological crimes of which they were accused. As both a Baptist and an attorney, it concerns me that virtually all the condemnatory testimony is coming from hostile witnesses. Hearsay testimony from hostile witnesses, without cross-examination. No primary testimony from the pre-convicted theological criminals that actually supports the claims. And you want me to defend that quicksand? Seriously?
How about a plea bargain then? You admit some primary testimony, something which incontrovertibly represents the actual confessional posture of those who were killed as Albigensians (or otherwise) as described in my first link, and we'll discuss whether such testimony contradicts divine revelation in any way. I am genuinely open to learning. But I am trained to the maxim "innocent until proven guilty," and I have an incredibly high standard of proof when it comes to capital theological crimes. I doubt if you can meet it, but give it your best shot.

I have started ignoring religion threads because they have become nothing but protestant bashing. Plus every time I see something interesting, they somehow venerate everyone except Jesus who never seems to be mentioned.
Noticed that, did you? I did too.
Just lovely.
No I did not read the link, and I only scanned your lengthy post. I have one question and you answered it obliquely: that Baptists are not “dualists, gnostics”. I will take it that you are not Manicheans nor Albigensians as well.
Good to know.
When the so-called reformers take responsibility for the so-called reformation and the countless souls that were lost to Christ because of your theological charlatanism, we can talk possibility of blemishes on the Holy Catholic Church in crushing heresies. At this point, I’d say we did not crush enough.
