Dear WileyPink,

Perhaps the difference, in part at least, is this: In this thread, the “others” denoted are vague and nebulous. In your thread, the “some” of “some argue” must specifically be Catholics, in that the correct interpretation of Jesus’ words are a distinctive teaching of the Catholic Church.

After all, I don’t see anyone else arguing that Jesus’ words, “And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church,...” mean that Jesus built the Church on Peter.

Thus, what was said in your thread attacked a particular doctrine specifically of the Catholic Church.

Although, in my own view, the comments in the article associated with “This belief distinguishes Latter-day Saints from many other Christian denominations that teach that salvation is given to all who simply believe and confess that Jesus is the Christ” represent a close call.

ST,

After careful and ...PRAYERFUL... consideration, I finally agreed with the RM regarding my thread of October 21 and "The Rock" controversy. Besides, that particular thread became one of the most posted to and best learning experiences I have had with any of my Sunday School threads. So, Thank the Lord for His providence.

Regarding this thread, It may have started as a true devotional, but the RM is correct in saying it became confrontational.

I don't "monitor" these threads so that I can be confrontational. I "study" these threads so that I can prepare myself to better be ready to give an answer for the hope that is in me. Thanks again...

In Christ...Alone!
