Post 2700 was not attributed anywhere.

Lifting someone else’s work and posting as if it were your own work is plagerism.

Again, you're not following things carefully enough (this present matter could be emblematic).

Oh, geez. Let me help you out here. Follow the post numbers and the matter in question here, the quote of Augustine from Against Faustus. Here's the regression: 2802 to 2706, 2706 to 2703, 2703 to 2700:

2802

It is not enough attribution for me. I see that excerpt at Catholic.com which requires attribution. If you didn’t pull it from there, the source will help the mods enforce copyright restrictions which might apply elsewhere.

Note, this is what St. Augustine said

"[N]othing could have been devised more likely to instruct and benefit the pious reader of sacred Scripture than that, besides describing praiseworthy characters as examples, and blameworthy characters as warnings, it should also narrate cases where good men have gone back and fallen into evil, whether they are restored to the right path or continue irreclaimable; and also where bad men have changed, and have attained to goodness, whether they persevere in it or relapse into evil; in order that the righteous may be not lifted up in the pride of security, nor the wicked hardened in despair of cure" (Against Faustus 22:96 [A.D. 400]).

--> enough Attribution for ya?

You’re once again, for the umpteenth time, posting excerpts without attribution, putting Free Republic at risk of copyright infringement.

Do you just do this until you get caught?

To: Dr. Eckleburg

And, your group's non-scriptural belief in double-predestination goes against the CAlvinist's favorite Early Christian, Augustine

Augustinian predestinationalism.

Augustine
"[N]othing could have been devised more likely to instruct and benefit the pious reader of sacred Scripture than that, besides describing praiseworthy characters as examples, and blameworthy characters as warnings, it should also narrate cases where good men have gone back and fallen into evil, whether they are restored to the right path or continue irreclaimable; and also where bad men have changed, and have attained to goodness, whether they persevere in it or relapse into evil; in order that the righteous may be not lifted up in the pride of security, nor the wicked hardened in despair of cure" (Against Faustus 22:96 [A.D. 400]).

Remember also that Augustine rejected any notion of an invisible Church and believed in sacraments (Augustine too believed that Christ was really present in the Eucharist)

The part you snipped at 2700 appears to be a quote from Catholic.com.

My particular point here was post 2700 was not original. It was the work of another person, not the person who posted the comment.

The true author was not credited with his work. Instead, Cronos, by not assigning authorship or linking to other websites, led readers to believe the writing was his own.

It wasn't. Again.
