> To me, the thread is not “bait.”
Neither is it to me, but rather another vehicle for disdainful speech and “doubtful disputations” (Rom 14:1) which must be exposed.
Hebrews 3:13
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
2nd Tim 2:23-26
23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
Titus 3:9
But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
1st Tim 6:3-9
3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
John 13:34
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
John 15:12
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
John 15:17
These things I command you, that ye love one another.
Seems as though you really know how to be a good follower of Christ, and how to back that up with Scripture.
Congratulations! I am certain such a person would never say anything rude to a Catholic about Catholic beliefs, practices, traditions, dogma, etc.
Thanks.
