Alex, If I had wanted or valued your opinion on this matter I would have asked you for it. If I acted on your opinion and assumed that even non and anti Catholics have an equally thick skin I would have more posts deleted.
I suppose to be fair . . .
Taipei is not the greatest place to get a suntan.
Thick, tough skin there could be in short supply.
Have you considered the possibility that these terms might have been used to convey deep respect and admiration?
Like when folks called me Noah saying, “ You’re just Noah Count!”.
I believe that we realize the words of Yah'shua:
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
Mat 5:11 "Blessed are you when people insult you
There is wheat and there is chaff.
and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds
of evil against you because of Me.
FYI - I am not in Taiwan, I was in Taiwan. I was in China, I was in Israel, I was in Germany, I was in Ireland, I was in Scotland, I was in France, I was in Malaysia, I was in Japan, I was in Korea, I was in England, I was in Italy.....all on business. I am a natural born citizen of the US. I will be many more places this year.
The moral of the story is don't take a single bit of information out of context, as you have with the Scripture and the Catholic Church and weave an entire alternate reality around it.
WOW.
HOW INCREDIBLE.
HOW AWESOME!
SUCH !!POOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWER!!
Oh, right, kowtow1, kowtow2, kowtow3 . . . [banging head on ground at the feet of the GREAT AND POWERFUL]
bowing, scraping, groveling to the max . . .
Benduflecting [bowing in the shape of a cross] 7 times.
[backing out of the AUGUST PRESENCE slowly . . . bowing and groveling continuously]
What an honor to bow and scrape in the presence of such a SAINTED PERSONAGE! I should avoid washing for a month to just feast on the lingering aroma of PONTIFICAL THEOLOGICAL MAJESTY!
Maybe not. I haven't had my Cheerios, yet.
#2467, #1321 on this thread. Two just off hand, but I’ve seen it a number of times.

But . . . but . . . but . . .
Y’all have DEMONSTRATED for more than 10 years
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FAITHFULLLLLLY
that doing so is SUCH
FUN! . . . or at least . . . DOGMATIC!
LOL.
Like when folks called me Noah saying, “ You’re just Noah Count!”.
------------------------
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODNESS!
IF
THAT'S
the case,
then the Roman Catholics et al must be about ready to elect me Pope!
WOW. Who'd a thunk!
Where do I get my Prada's?
“..us Prottys haul out annoying terms primarily or only when the Papists get particularly obnoxious, prissy and assaultive.””stimulus followed by response.”
OK
I’m interested in the term “us Prottys”. Does this mean that you speak for all “Prottys”, some who are “us” or does “us Prottys” refer particularly to yourself -—and the ones on your ping list?
“..haul out annoying terms”—
Would you agree then that some terms used, such as “Papists”, can be annoying?
“...primarily or only when the Papists get particularly obnoxious, prissy and assaultive.” Which is it?—primarily or only?
If “Papists get particularly obnoxious,(very unpleasant), prissy (fussy) and assaultive” (violent attack either physical or verbal), does this apply to all, to some, to few? Are these traits absent from “Protty” posts?
“Stimulus followed by response.”
How true. And it works both ways.
Thank you so much for your encouragements, dear brother in Christ!

Naw.
I do good trying to keep up with speaking for myself alone! LOL.
I may have presumptions and presentments ostensibly supported by a cast of thousands . . . but mostly, my assumption when I refer to ‘us Prottys’ is that at least one or 3 or so others agree with most of what I’ve said in that post.
In terms of stimulus/response . . . I really do believe . . . from watching this for more than 10 years hereon . . .
Prottys tend to be pretty mild mannered ON AVERAGE.
UNTIL some Roman Catholic et al posts some outrageously baiting, outrageously idolatrous, outrageously blasphemous, outrageously tweaky, outrageously assaultive post.
THEN the match is on.
We may not have masses of bureaucratic political power mongering magicstericals behind us but we’ll still rise to the occasion to some degree.
We may not have rosaries with marbles for beads and crucifixes the size of canes to swing and maim with but we’ll still stand up somewhat tall for what we believe to be good and righteous and Biblical.
It appears that a good lot of Roman Catholics et al hereon
REALLY DO !!!NOT!!!! GET IT
about
THE INSTITUTUION
THE DOGMA
THE PERSONAGES OUT THERE OR OUT WHEREVER
ARE
NOT
INDIVIDUAL FREEPERS.
And, MOST Prottys can fiercely loathe this or that idolatrous dogma or practice while still loving the individuals involved.
We realize that’s not a grace nor a skill that many Roman Catholics et al seem to have acquired or even be interested in acquiring.
I realize some RCs believe Mary to be the equal if not the superior of Christ, since they give to her the titles and office which belong to Christ alone, and it’s always helpful to get evidence of that fact.
On these threads, I think my definition of
prissy = haughtily, self-righteously, puffed up and snidely ostentacious.
Whether by recounting Jesus’ life or application of the prophetic scriptures, it was the unfolding of what the good news was that Peter said even the angels were desirous of peering into. (1 Peter 1:10-12)
Not Luke's good news or Paul's, etc., but one gospel.
You, too. Right?
Pushing for a miracle, there, are we?
