Where Have All the FR Protestants Gone?

OBSERVATIONS:

[1] There seems to be a significantly reduced number of Protestant Threads (KJV Only being the exception for sure) in the FR Religion Forum.

[2] There seems to be a reduced number of FR Protestant posts in the Religion Forum.

This thread is a place to discuss these observations.

So now what is LP?

Leftist Propaganda?

Leftist Place?

"Nope protestants do not "do lent""


Just an FYI: Methodists, Lutherans, Episcopalians observe Lent :) (and as far as I know, of those; only Episc. observe Lenten disciplines)


btw, great discussion going on here. THIS is how the Religion forum SHOULD be!

**Christians, and Jews are the only people you are able bash.**

Huh?


"Do unto othters as you would have them do unto you."

Remember?

[Coleus]

I see many of them on the Catholic threads. Why? One only knows.

Happy Tartan Day!

[Salvation]

I appreciate your point of view.

Coincicdes with my point above about treating others the way one would like to be treated.

[Salvation]

**The moderators are the ones with the bias.**

I disagree with you. When I got 'warned' I totally deserved it.

One word -- responsibility.

[B-Chan]

If the number of Protestants posting to FR has decreased, it is because God immutably predestined it to be so -- and, therefore, the topic is not worth discussion.

Just kidding, Calvinists.

**Why was that allowed? I didn't see the Catholics hitting the abuse button, or the threads being pulled?**

Where have you been?

I have hit the abuse button before when personal attacks against the Pope were posted and it had nothing to do with the thread. Also have had a thread pulled, but I think it was a misunderstanding.

Catholics have also been 'warned'. I can think of at least four who shall remain nameless at this time.

WHy do you have to start in with this crap? This is what I mean, man. op.

Look Trent happened. It still in effect..if you do not like it, or are ashamed of it change it and ..stop whinning it is not attractive on a grown man''

There's a certain attitude with some of the Protestants, specifically the Calvinists, that they own this board or something and have carte blanche to say whatever the hell they please to anyone. It needs to st

Do not worry the title of this page is where have the protestants gone...or didn't you notice?

It is now all Catholic all the time..that is when it is not Mormon.,..

Jim you're doing a heck of a job here. Keep up the good work.

Everyone else: If you really believe in your doctrine here is some biblical advice for dealing with those you vehemently disagree with:

Rom 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

Tit 2:7 In all things having shown yourself a pattern of good works: in the doctrine, purity, sensibleness, without corruption,
Tit 2:8 in sound speech that cannot be condemned, that he who is opposed may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

Pro 17:14 The beginning of strife is like letting out water; therefore leave off fighting, before it breaks out

Jim is asking far less than what God asks of us. We should be ashamed that Jim or the moderators ever has to get involved in a religious forum.

** not one for constant prostelytization.**

It has always been my understanding that prostelytizing was not to be done.

Education, yes.

But not trying to convert someone to your beliefs (be they Catholic, Christian, Protestant, Jewish, Mormon, etc.).

Am I mistaken here?

[Salvation]

**There something going on at a fundamental level there.**

Agree with you here.

[RnMomof7]

All God asks is repent and believe

Have you noticed who is absent from this thread?

**Just an FYI: Methodists, Lutherans, Episcopalians observe Lent :) (and as far as I know, of those; only Episc. observe Lenten disciplines)**

And Catholics! Lent began there!

[restornu]

restornu can attack Jewish people

I have never attacted Jewish people! This is truley a stretch- It is not logical anyway to say this! I have NO qualm with any faith here!

I believe the Golden Rule should Rule!

[bonfire]

I was referring to Mom's post about Protestants not doing Lent. Didn't mean to leave you out! :) (Many of us Prots didn't throw out the baby with the bathwater!)

[Wrigley]

You probably haven't attracted too many either.

[restornu]

stretch

I do recall when I was a Presbyterian I did lent! I use to give up home made Apple Turnover with Vanila sauce! Yummy!
