“Sir, two-three (more on weekends) articles a day used in a non-caucus forum is clearly poking Evangelicals in the eye.”

Evangelicals proselytize, do they not? The least charitable interpretation is that two or three (more on weekends) articles a day used in a non-caucus forum is proselytizing, at worst.

“What is the real tragedy? That the FR RF cannot have one thread where we all discuss the content of the Bible.”

Yes, but then we have to wonder why this is so.

I suspect that you think it is because of the Catholics, while I think it is because of the Protestants.

It would seem possible to objectively determine which it is.

“So over the weekend I posted an article on the Miracles of Jesus Christ in the Gospels.”

I don’t remember seeing it.

Proselytize: convert or attempt to convert (someone) from one religion, belief, or opinion to another.

Evangelism: the spreading of the Christian gospel by public preaching or personal witness.

Big difference. What I keep telling my Army associates.

Apologetics: reasoned arguments or writings in justification of something, typically a theory or religious doctrine.

The above is what goes on here primarily. However, in only a few weeks of regularly posting here, the "apologetics" happening here is like the movie "The Notebook." Same arguments every week, same dueling links etc.

I can probably highlight this weekend's threads:

-Sola fide

-Sola scriptura

-Canon/Apocrypha

-Luther was a drunk, letch, tore up the Bible, chased around milk maids

One look at the posters, you will see these articles are all posted by Roman Catholics. Perhaps since I am a "pup" here on FR, the Roman Catholics are in reactionary mode and that explains the multiple threads on the same topics.

However it is my observation as someone educated through college in the Roman Catholic tradition, that you should elicit the help of a priest to help form some of the Roman Catholic responses. To date the responses are canned, linked and poorly argued. There is too much emotion (anger at times) in the responses.

Just some observations.
