Hey "Proud 2B" I hope all went well for you in Washington !! I wish I could have gone!
Now to the issue at hand..WOW how long did it take you to put that post together? My grandma used to say if you throw mud at someone some always splashes back at you..that is a nasty personal post my friend.
It is my observation that if someone questions RC doctrine it is taken as a personal attack..and so doctrinal differences quickly turn into personal attacks with name calling. Instead of attacking the messenger you might want to look at the message.
If you were to come to a "Protestant thread" you will generally find ideas attacked as opposed to people (but I will not deny that happens sometimes too) Generally however it is an opportunity to discuss and debate ideas and doctrines..that just can not happen with Catholics .whining starts and cries of it isn't fair and thus they divert attention away from the topic and onto personalities.
That my friend is what this looks like. doc is right.OP presented a clear rebuttal to Squires argument. It looks as if you are in the same boat I am,not well versed enough to participate in a dialogue at that level. But instead of reading it for content and then perhaps responding to doc's observations..you compiled a hit list to discredit him.
I have no doubt that you got a lot of freep mail from RC's...But my friend I saw alot of passive aggressive behavior in many of your responses In short much of what you wrote was disingenuous , and meant to replace true holiness..at least this hit piece really shows your heart..
Hit piece? I merely took quotes from only two posts by the doc, and that's a hit piece showing my true heart? I'm disappointed in you, RnMomof7. Debate me and my positions if you will. But please do not defend the indefensible.
ROME'S PARTY LINE CONCERNING AUGUSTINE--which is, to put it bluntly, an outright LIE.
a goat headed for the slaughter
the Church of Rome was lying in the sixteenth century and has continued lying to this very day
The Church of Rome really is apostate
certainly appear to be reprobate
smarmy theological garbage
we regard Bouyer as a pagan sophist, not a Christian theologian
his depraved pride in RCism--
a vessel of wrath fitted for destruction
cast my exegetical pearls before someone who is acting swinish [OP]
your arguments will be crushed. You will see them taken apart and cast down before your eyes. Of this, I have not even an inkling of doubt. But I'll not throw pearls into the slop.[OP]
untold numbers of Protestants were murdered by Rome
RC's refusal to face that murderous fact reminds me of the anti-semitic freaks
RCism is a pack of lies and has been so since well before the time of the Reformation
malevolent, truth-hating spirit of the RCs on our forum
downright Clintonian in its character of pride and vicious perjury.
hmmm
"much of what you wrote was disingenuous , and meant to replace true holiness"
Nothing I wrote was disingenuous. I used a controversial article to call some people to a thread in order to preach part of the gospel of life they may never have heard before. Why? To show the mortal danger of the contraceptive mentality to good committed Christians.
If that is disingenuous, so be it.
Protestantism, on its own authority, rejected, in 1930, what was a constant teaching of Christianity.
NO ONE has pointed out to me exactly where protestantism got the authority to change a continual teaching of Christian moral theology, a change that incidentally has lead directly to the acceptance of legalized abortion, and gutted the ability of protestant Christians to effectively preach against homosexuality.
Until someone shows me why or how protestantism can legitimately change a foundational teaching of Christian morality, I have no reason to listen to any of the rest of their theories or opinions on scriptural exegesis or patristic interpretations.
To my understanding, changing a continuous Christian teaching is apostacy. The change came about because of a so-called private interpretation of scripture and the rejection of the authority Christ gave His Church.
No one has addressed these concerns.
Who's being disingenuous?
The doc's own words discredit him. I just put them up and pointed them out. Clearly, his error is painful and embarrassing to your side. So you attack me instead of chastising him for his uncharitable words. His comments are insulting and have no place in charitable debate between fellow Christians.
I have no doubt that you got a lot of freep mail from RC's
I will tell you that some Christians are changing their lives and practices based at least in part on my preaching of the gospel of life on this forum. Many heard things here they have never heard before. That was my goal. I was successful.
The rest does not matter to me. Apologetics is a side interest for me. The gospel of life and the culture of life that springs from it is my calling and my chosen topic.
