To: Theo
You are in for a surprise: Jesus was incarnated precisely so that we might enjoy relationship with God. That’s good news! Indeed, that is the Good News.

I asked you before for chapter and verse. Are you unable to provide it and will admit that this is your own doctrine, and not that of Jesus?

And yes, Jesus’ friends did enjoy meals with Him. Something I’ll enjoy with Him some day.

You sound pretty sure. Did you get your invite in the mail today? Be sure to RSVP, though.

Yes, the Son submits to the Father. Recall what Jesus said to His Father prior to His crucifixion: “Not my will but yours be done” (see Matthew 26 and Luke 22). That is submission to the Father’s will.

Yes, subordinationism. Why fight it when you post support for it?

No, the LDS don’t look to Scripture. They look to the Book of Mormon and other writings, claiming that the Scriptures have become perverted over time.

Given the way that so many people interpret them for themselves in novel ways, I'd put my money on those so-called Christians becoming perverted.

I’m not a “binarist” — I affirm that the Godhead consists of three Persons in communion: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Okay, you got that out of a book. Now, what does it mean to you?

You are a puzzle.

Calling me names? I could call you an idiot, but I'm not.

You post immodest photos

Who says that they are immodest? You? Under what authority? The RM may decide that they are not suitable for the RF, but under whose authority do you call them immodest?

attack me for holding biblically defensible doctrines

Let's see. Which heresies can be defended strictly from the pages of the Bible? Arianism, Docetism, Donatism, Monarchianism, Monophysitism, Monothelitism, Montanism, Nestorianism, and of course, a bunch of different versions of Gnosticism. Without the Church and the Creeds, there is only the chaos of, for example, the ruins of the Reformation, and the rubble of the Restoration.

You find hope in the Roman Catholic Church, and live a life devoid of the Fruit of the Spirit.

I am a Catholic and follow Christ. How do you know what my life is devoid of?

I find home in Christ, my Savior, my Lord.

I cannot find in any of your posts understanding of Christ at all, except in a binarist / subordinationist fashion.

To: MarkBsnr

A serious inquiry: Do any Roman Catholics reading this thread support what MarkBsnr has been writing against me? Could one of you step in and say something to your fellow Roman Catholic?

It’s clear that I’m unable to address MarkBsnr’s attacks and vulgarity. But perhaps someone who shares his religious tradition will be better received.
