Before there was any Protestent, Episcopalian, New Age, Born Again, etc Christian; there was the Catholic religion.

That trick might work on your easily deceived and ignorant friends, but to anyone with a background in church history, particularly education in medieval theology, I find the statement insulting.

I'm glad that you take pride in your bondage to Rome, if that is what makes you happy and content, peace be to you.

You know as well as I do that there is no fruit in the ecumenical debates since we both don't have the same foundation. I start with Sola Scriptura, Rome makes constant ad hoc emendations to fit the times, sentiments and culture to incorporate their various syncretisms to existing religious ideas. Because of that, there is no common ground for discussion - unlike CrEvo threads, we don't work with the same evidence and generate results based on differing interpretational templates. Rome cobbles up new doctrine and teachings as the conditions of the moment dictate and cover it under the umbrella of Holy Tradition, and its total folly to suggest that there is one mind, one unalterable doctrine throughout the millennia within the family of Rome.

If your religion requires you to make silly exclusive claims to things not in evidence, and that is what keeps you throwing coins in their hopper, then more power to you.

Again, I apologize for questioning your Free Will position, if that is what Rome teaches, then it must be so for the god(s) that Rome worships. I don't want to make the mistake of telling you what your religion should teach.

The calvinGod of Hate that your cult worships is not the Christian God. It teaches a robotmaker god who pre-programs robots to do evil and go to hell and then laughs while they burn. This is not the Christian God.

So your cult can go ahead and worship its robotmaker deity and we will continue worshipping our Lord and God, Jesus Christ, part of the ONE Triune godhead, the Christian God.
