Guess I didn’t read them that way.
I observed pointed questions being asked . . .
and later . . . avoided or flipped-out over or some such . . .
of course . . . many of us Prottys are quite used to some RC’s reading all manner of fantasies into even Scripture . . . so what chance does a hapless FREEPER have to be read accurately! LOL.
However, the mental gymnastics some on the RC side go through can be quite entertaining . . . in a sad sort of way.

As you wish.
Seeing some RC’s resurrect anything besides archaic fantasies could be entertaining.
Though integrity would more or less require the context of the whole of my pontifications when analyzing any micro-bite of them. LOL.

Um, let me try again. The term "Protestant" is term of unclear meaning. In the title of My Episcopalian Seminary it was part of the then name of the Episcopal Church and an adjectival part. I was brought up to think that it described those who don't think the Pope is the supreme honcho of the Church on earth, or something like that.
Here on FR I am told it's a proper noun and the indications are that it refers to non-Catholics who are sort of Calvinist.
I'm not saying one is right and one isn't. I AM saying it's confusing.

Estrogen?
I thought Parochial schools taught basic biology.
If RC’s have so much difficulty telling the difference between XY and XX . . . that could go a long ways toward explaining the plethera of RC’s who seem to have a genetic difficulty in understanding the difference between
SAME
vs
DIFFERENT.
. . .
as well as the seeming RC obsession with exercising DOUBLE STANDARDS to the max!

For freedom he has set you free. Is freedom about doing stuff or about not doing stuff. We are not freed because we do stuff we are freed so we can do stuff.

I don’t even know if I’ve known such a one in the past. I sure can’t think of a single Protty that fits that description amongst over a thousand in my social network currently.
Fascinating RC fantasy. Did this one come WITH or WITHOUT an accompanying Mary apparition?

LOL...I thought it was funny.
To: mgist
Quite a reflection.
Consider this as well.
Mary knew at least from the Moment of presentation in the Temple of her 8 day old baby that her heart would be pierced by sorrow.

Either you accept all of the Churchs pronouncements or you accept none. You cannot pick and choose.
= = =
Except that it seems like most RC’s do exactly that . . . picking and choosing only the decisions from only the centuries that affirm the CURRENT STATUS QUO.
LOL. What a fantasy!

I didn’t realize the edifice contained such a bizaare straw dog factory. Must be in the Philippines . . . or maybe Mexico.

That’s your big problem. [some RC’s] can’t distinguish Scripture from Mariology.

Boy, that sure reads like a set of fingers full of truth.

that if they admit one truth showing their RC edifice legands to be the falsehood they are, then a big stack of cards will tumble down and where will their faith be, then?Well the implicit ad hominem (don't believe their arguments because they do) can work either way. If you all started listening to what we say instead of making it up, you might have to make some initially uncomfortable changes too. So we shouldn't listen to you for the same reason you shouldn't listen to us.

Well said.
Though I probably wouldn’t say “nice going” even in satire! LOL.

Their basic difference with us is not that we believe too little of the Bible, but that we believe too much.
Funny little words like “This is My Body, this is my Blood” and do this in remembrance of me.
Remember also...They have never had the blessing of the words spoken by Jesus on the road to Emaus...They cannot benefit from typology of the OT because they weren't taught.
Those words are not recorded in the truncated and revised version of KJ that they read...
They have no oral teachings from Apostle to new disciple that the early church fathers wrote about because none of it was codified.
My God have mercy on all of his children but especially those in most need.

"This venerable day has dawned, the day that surpasses all the festivals of the saints, this most exalted and solemn day on which the Blessed Virgin was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory. On this day the queenly Virgin was exalted to the very throne of God the Father, and elevated to such a height that the angelic spirits are in admiration." -- Note Pseudo-Augustine possible Collyridian fake.
So hard to tell without 1st/2nd century sure fire "tradition". Of course you can always fall back on the conspiracy theory. That Mary's Assumption was kept quiet in order to make Christ Resurrection stand out. But after all 1950 change that. Silence as they say is golden.

Many that cry Lord,Lord will not be recognized.
Many that claim to be Christians will be shouting crucify him again because he doesn’t meet the demands of their visage.
