How do y'all think the Lord feels about those who intentionally post provocative threads that wound and START the bickering in the first place? I have pleaded many times to those who repeatedly do this on Free Republic, but it seems to fall on deaf ears (eyes).

Dear friend in Christ, please forgive this humble catholic for posting this thread that has so upset you. That was never my intention. For those of us on fire with love for our Lord and His Church, we want everyone to experience that joy. Knowing how Bible christians always seek scriptural source material, in our exuberance to share that, we occasionally post a thread that meets biblical scrutiny. If I have offended you or any others with this thread, then I ask your forgiveness. We share the same love for Jesus Christ.

Could you post a link to one?

Thanks.

THANK YOU for your apology to boatbums and (I hope) by extension to all nonCatholic Christians. I was embarrassed and scandalized that a fellow Catholic would post an article whose title states that nonCatholics aren't "true" Christians. That kind of mindset is neither charitable nor in keeping with Catholic teaching. I can understand and empathize with any nonCatholic Christian who felt poked by a stick (or worse) by this post.

Please excuse me if my words come across as harsh. They aren't intended to be. I sometimes say something with the best of intentions and only later realize how thoughtless it was. I don't believe you had negative motives for your post but I can understand that others might disagree.

Peace be with you.
