The following site, among others, copied your words exactly without even giving a hint of credit to you. Shame, shame!
FWIW, since no manuscript exists which is younger than 300-400 years old it is presumptuous to claim to know the exact Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, or whatever, words used.
Hold it! The word "Christians" is set up in the sentence to indicate opposition to "RCC" when in fact, the first and only Christians for 1500 years were Catholic.
those criticisms involve the anti-Scriptural beliefs and practices of the RCC,
Just a cotton-pickin minute here! That statement assumes (yes, big mistake to "assume") that the beliefs and practices of the "RCC" -- a shorthand meaning Catholic Church -- are somehow anti-Scriptural. The author of this "assuming" post has not established anything of the kind.
whereas the "strong language" you seem to employ is simply name-calling.
Heh. Makes no sense.
There's no core to your argument. No discussion of faith, practices, beliefs, perspectives, ideology, theology, etc.
Likewise, no core to your argument. No discussion of faith, practices, beliefs, perspectives, ideology, theology, etc. Pot kettle black, as usual.
This is a typical Dr. Eckleburg post which makes no actual argument, but simply makes unsupported assertions with no actual reasoning involved.
And this is not the first time by any means that such plagiarism has happened.
What with the tone of this thread and the continual deception of passing off plagiarized material as their own, one is left wondering if there’s any moral integrity left in Catholicism.
I recall there are some sects that no longer have any members. A group of quaker women whose sect’s doctrine did not permit sex. The sect died out, but it has a museum now, I think.
When you say “one is left wondering”,
does that mean
your entire congregation is left wondering?
I want to have the right mental image of your sect’s confusion.
Dr. Eckleburg’s sect is the Orthodox Presbyterian Church.
Cronos and MarkBsnr can tell you all about it.
It ain’t pretty.
If you start typing in Orthodox Presbyterian Church into bing, “Orthodox Presbyterian Church cult” is the fourth listing on the downdrop and for good reason.
Well, when I first came onto the Religion Forum to find like-minded Christians of all stripes who wanted to discuss mutual love of God and all things related, I found much the same as you found. Sadly, everywhere I turned, every remark I made was ridiculed, dogpiled, laughed at, and my Church was dragged through the mud with every post. When I complained, as you are doing, I was told to stick to the ecumenical and caucus threads, since I was clearly too thin-skinned to participate in open Religion Forum threads, which are "anything goes" unless it is Catholics making an effective argument.
Just take a look at the anti-Catholic posts. I cannot imagine Christ Jesus, Risen Son of Almighty God and the Blessed Virgin Mary, saying the things about the Catholic Church that pass for everyday ordinary conversation on the RF, either. So, I commiserate with you. Ain't it awful? If we can't defend our faith, or can't handle the heat, we just don't belong here. Nope. No way.
I will have to remember to occassionally use “your cult’s” when talking to Miss Eckles.
My preference is “your sect’s”.
Thanks!
Sorry that your foray onto the RF should be greeted in such a juvenile fashion.
Those claiming to be Christians should hold themselves to a higher standard of behavior than that. I can’t imagine how anyone who would refer to themselves as a Christian would resort to such vulgar tactics. Christians are supposed to be followers of Christ.
Could you imagine Christ making those kind of innuendos about people and their character? No wonder the non-religious consider religious people hypocrites. Sometimes the world has a better handle on what is appropriate behavior for those who name the name of Christ to behave like than those who make the claim.
Notwithstanding, the feigned outrage at your behavior is hilarious.
I’ll throw a little out to that!
Blessed be God in His angels and in His saints!
“It goes to show the extremes some people will go to to deflect attention from something which makes their religion appear in an unfavorable light.”
An article filled with the grossest distortions, falsehoods and plain garbage deserves nothing less than the loudest raspberry!
The posts you apparently object to are ABSOLUTE MIRRORS of the ones posted by the faux protestant sects and comfy-chair-missionaries-of the church of-one who object to being ridiculed in the same manner.
Sometimes, the truth has to hurt to show y’all that your behavior is completely unchristian and vile.
Oh, sure, but let a Catholic, either a child or an old lady, be offended by innuendo and slur against the Blessed Mother, and they are told, “You are too thin-skinned for the RF open threads, quit whining and go to the ecumenical and caucus threads.”
Psst: To being you up to speed, as of today, Catholics are not allowed to express any e___ulations in the RF, so Mad Dawg and I now use code to get around that rule. Of course e___ulation is literally a joyful “little throwing out”.

Thus my: “I’ll throw a little out to that!”
Heck yeah!
OOPS!
PS, I saw that silly exchange.
“Notwithstanding, the feigned outrage at your behavior is hilarious”
What I find hilarious is the insistance that American protestantism and English is THE causa sine qua non of the entire world.
causa sine qua non - Latin archaic
Meaning: indispensable cause or condition IOW The REASON TO BE
Yes, and the quotes show she too had not yet learned nor understood who Jesus was.
For example:
Luke 2:48 And when they saw him they were astonished; and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been looking for you anxiously."
No, it's not always a "mistake" to assume. Not when all evidence points to a consistent, glaring conclusion.
Here is a handy web page I just found...
Yeah,
We just have to accept your view non-biblical that
Mary and Joe
forgot all about
the visits and dreams
where angels told them
who Jesus was.
