*SNERK* what ever you reckon mate. Typical prot intellectual dishonesty at it’s finest.

"personal attack" ? (from the same poster, Verga).

The posting history on these threads reflects extreme intellectual dishonesty by those Roman Catholics who cannot allow the introduction of a proper exegesis of Scripture to dilute the "traditions" to which they wish to cling.

When the report of the Savior’s miracles spread abroad, Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem made their way north to Gennesaret to confront Jesus. They charged that the Lord’s disciples neglected to keep the “traditions” of the elders, because they did not ceremonially wash their hands (to purify themselves from Gentile contamination) before they ate. But Christ focused on them, asking why they “transgressed the commandment of God” by their “tradition” (Matt. 15:3). ...

... Tradition, on the other hand, evolves. It is established by habit or custom. It will vary in its character from place to place, and from time to time. Tradition is not intrinsically evil, since it operates in the realm of expediency and human judgment. It is condemned, however, when it is thrust into the role of “law,” and bound as such.

There are two digressive directions in the “law-tradition” controversy. First, there is the tendency to reduce law to the status of tradition. Then there is the disposition that codifies tradition into law. Both approaches are wrong. ... -Tradition and Scripture, Wayne Jackson

Condemnations of groups of believers are tolerable on "open" Religion Forum threads. However, a condemnation of another Freeper, personally, is not tolerable.

For instance, "Baptists are heretics" would be tolerated but "you are a heretic" would not be tolerated.
