Are we playing sophomore high school debate club or are we brothers and sisters in Christ who believe Him to be the truth and are trying to adore and honor Him as such?

Please read what many here say against us and about the crucifix. That is where I get my information. I get it from the attacks of some Protestants.

Among Protestants there is disagreement about the rapture. Since that is so it is not clear that it is the "being Catholic" aspect which leads Catholics to disagree with the popular understanding of the rapture.

I know the rules -- or some of them -- but personally I think the kind of nonsense which passes for debate here is a disgrace to Christians, a scandal to Gentiles, and the work of the devil. Please don't tempt me to play the gotcha game. Vicious attacks among those who agree with Holy John that God is Love play into the adversary's hands.

That is true, but among those who make a habit of denying parts of or all of Scripture, including the doctrine of the Rapture, are several Catholics, one of whom is especially arrogant and smug and childish about his unbelief. That is not to tar all Catholics; however there have been a few who have pretty forcefully denied that part of Scripture. Denial of Scripture plays into the adversary's hands and it is offensive to those of us who consider the Bible the inerrant, infallible, God-breathed Words of the living God. And that means each and every word.

We can be brothers and sisters in Christ but there are many Protestants who are going to get quite offended when they see the word of God re-defined, denied, or discarded. And some of them are going to speak up about it.

Whether is is Catholics or Protestants who engage in that behavior, you can always count on some of us speaking up in defense of Holy Scripture.
