Posters may condemn dieties, religious authorities, beliefs, groups of believers, authors, etc. on "open" Religion Forum threads.

But they must not "make it personal" - e.g. reading minds, attributing motives, making the thread "about" individual Freepers, etc.

Thick skin is required for the town square format of "open" Religion Forum threads.

claptrap is from the pit of hell.

Are you trying to get this thread locked, too? If so, don't expect people to trade ugly personal remarks with you, as you've spewed out all day long.

The good thing about stupid personal comments like so many you've made today which have nothing to do with the thread or the discussion is that lurkers can can read them for what they are -- a pathetic lack of a solid defense of the Roman Catholic system.

So posting pictures of an ASS are OK?

[freedumb2003]

Sheesh what duplicitous jerks populate the other side.

IOW you have no response other than ad hominem.

If you tread into theology, much less in diminishing a very ancient religion, it is best to at least have at least a modicum of scholarship.

Even a tiny bit would help.

Only Jesus was without sin. Everyone else is/was human, thus imperfect.

Amen!

To believe otherwise is a type of paganism.

They are pictures of braying or laughing donkeys and he has been posting them for a very, very, very long time in lieu of words. If they were pictures of the animal’s rear ends, they would be pulled.

[Not gonna take it anymore]

Do you really think all the large colored type you use in your rants is going to bring anyone over to your opinion?

Looks fearful to me. What are you so afraid of? That you may learn something? That you may actually have to act as if you are a Christian?

That you could be WRONG?

[Grizzled Bear]

You are talking about the Mother ofJesus Christ, both man and God, I don’t think it originates in hell.

While wandering the desert, the Israelites were often disobedient. During one such event, God allowed poisonous snakes to bite and sicken them. Then God directed them to place a bronze (?) snake on a pole. When someone was bit, they could look up at the snake and be healed.

Some of the Israelites began to worship the bronze snake so God had it destroyed.

The bronze snake did not originate in hell. The Israelites worship of it certainly was diabolically influenced.

The all-knowing, all-loving, all-powerful God knew from all eternity that He would CREATE Mary, that He would create her for the purpose of giving birth to his Only-Begotten Son, that He would bring her into the world at the time and place of his choosing for the miracle of the Virgin Birth of His Son—He willed this from all eternity. It was not just a random series of people, places and times. She existed in God’s eternal Now.

We all do....

Acts 17:22-27 So Paul, standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: "Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious. For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, 'To the unknown god.' What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you.

The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us,

In this case I actually like the way the NIV reads.....

Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: “People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you.

“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.

Actually, the older NIV said, *From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.*

For example, NO WHERE did I say that Mary--the MOTHER OF JESUS NOR the Scriptures about the authentic Mary, came from hell.

EVERYONE knows you didn't say it nor imply it.

Do these characters know how to read 1st grade English?

I'd say, yes, but their major is in twisting what is said, like they do with Scripture, to suite their agenda and their deceptive traditions/doctrines.

Quix, you are in good company. They, also, twist God's Word. IF they do it to HIM, it's a given they will do it to you/us.

[Quix]

Do you REALLY

have trouble

telling the difference

BETWEEN

an ill-defined group of uncertain members

vs

an individual, personal thing?

It's not REALLY ROCKET SCIENCE.

When did it become the RC style to demonstrate such deplorable reading comprehension?

BTW, it's SUCH an impressive argument tactic to chronically run to wail to the RM. Very very impressive.

It is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo intellectual, erudite, lofty, learned, magnanimous, gracious, mature . . .

NOT! LOL.

It's more like a 2 year old with a runny nose tugging on mummy's apron strings.

Please don't make this thread about individual FReepers.

[narses]

Got it.Some rude behavior is acceptable.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Sounds like you’re bringing one thread’s argumentative discussion over onto this one which is against the rules.

Your fears belong to you. No one else.
