And therein lies the fallacy of your "challenge."
Additionally, you've relied upon hearsay to make a broad, sweeping statement regarding something with which you've admitted unfamiliarity, and not only that, you've failed to provide any objective standard against which anything could be measured.
You've set up a fool's errand, basically, dragged the site owner into it and appear to have modified the purported "requirements" several times over the course of this thread.
So, it appears to me that you're unserious and merely stirring the pot for amusement.
thanks for responding,
first, hearsay is a statement that a person of unknown provenance made regarding what another person said or did
second, the folks relaying this were not strangers, they were trusted friends, they had never been known to make a false utterance, they made the statement as a form of testimony of their protestant faith, which I believe to be exemplary and strong.
third, I was unfamiliar with their service, however they were very familiar with their service because they were “church going protestants’ something I have found to be lacking on the forum,
fourth, I am intimately familiar with the Catholic Mass and know exactly what is said and transpires in the Mass,
fifth, I have stated the standard several times and have clarified when asked,
sixth, remember I want Jim to compare what happens in ONE particular Catholic Mass in our little corner of nowhere to ANY protestant service anywhere in the US.
seventh, the site owner is well aware of the challenge and recon he may like some protestants step up with a matching challenge,
eighth, yeah right.. I am the one who is “unserious’ because I have paid my own unserious $250 to Jim and yet not yourself or any other protestant, including you, has anted up.
eighth, I have adequately described my purpose previously:
“I wont go into how badly some on the forum reacted to my mentioning it, maybe because it came from protestants giving testimony about what their experience was in a Mass versus their own experience as church going protestants in their own services.
“It sounds interesting and if it increases the awareness Catholics for protestant scripture in their services and protestant awareness of Catholic scripture at Mass then it may be a good thing.
“Plus Jim wins hopefully either way.”
I really don’t care R-C whether you ‘approve’ or not.
Don’t ante-up, be a quitter, don’t try to prove me wrong, there are others ‘obviously not you’ who have not quit.
For the Greater Glory of God
