With all due respect, I think you’ve making my point. If both are heresies and Protestantism came first, then wouldn’t modernism necessarily then be the progeny of Protestentanism?
better call saul.
Only 99% of the time
Not if it didn't come OUT of Protestantism; no.
Such as the 55,000,000 who have been murdered via abortion? An excellent question.
To put the impact of 55,000,000 human beings that are no longer with us into a fiscal perspective, why does anyone think social security is not only bankrupt, but upside down?
Because there aren't 55,000,000 American children who've grown up, entered the workforce and paying taxes into the (unarguably) bankrupt system.
From another perspective, why is it we have arguably the most uncivil society in this nations history? Murder, rape, robbery, and all kinds of other activities rooted in the cheapening of LIFE?
55,000,000 murdered American Children at the hands of abortionists and the feminist agenda.
Anyone who chooses can slam me for the above, but once they get off their emotional high-horse and do the math on the impact of 55,000,000 murdered American children on the economy (if they were alive) would see I'm right.
No one in their right mind however, would argue the impacts of abortion and how it has "cheapened" life in this country. Those effects are all around us.
RM, if you could chime in on this it would be great:
pius: “Uh-huh. Apparently the moderator thought you did. And that’s all that matters.”
Vladimir: Actually no it doesn’t. Removal does not imply guilt. Anyone who has been here for a while will know that.
.
While I don’t disagree with your numbers or your view on life, I do disagree that they would all have entered the workforce and become taxpayers who would help bail out SS.
The removal of a post doesn’t mean guilt - however most posts on the Religion Forum are removed because they contain inappropriate content whether the poster’s own words or quoting someone else.
So, for the case in hand, were the posts removed for personal insults?
They were making it personal, I.e. the likely result would be a flame war. Do not pick at a scab though because that will also result in your posts being removed.
Not trying to do that. Just think it’s important for Vladimir to know why they were removed since he asserts he wasn’t making it personal. Thanks for being fair. I’m done in this thread. I promise.
If it did, but which would be meaningless since Protestantism is not meaningfully defined, nor do s heresies arising from a source necessarily impugn the source.
"Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them." (Acts 20:30)
And the fact is that heresies came before Protestantism, and modernism has been as concomitant with Catholicism as with Protestantism.
To make a meaningful comparison, you need to decide what essentially distinctively defines each side, and how it has reacted to aberrations, and what it overall fosters.
In so doing one will see that the more one holds Scripture as the literal word of God, rather than a church, then the less heretical they are in tersm of degrees. Of course, when the church holds itself as supreme, then no one can tell it that it is wrong, which itself is heresy.
And what Rome fosters is overall liberalism, while those who hold Scripture as supreme as the assured word of God are the most conservative Christian group in the US.
