It is short on theology or any meaningful dialogue and long on emotion.
>>Since when have the Evangelical Freepers been interested in having a meaningful dialogue of theology?
Mainline Protestant Freepers such as the conservative LCMS-type Lutherans are a different story. You can actually have an interesting, reasoned discussion with them.
But the Evangelical Freepers simply like saying:”You are Catholic, and you are going to Hell!” And then dismiss what you have to say out of hand without discussion.
How can you dialog with a side that isn’t interested in dialog?
There are few here interested in dialogue on religion. They pretend to just to get something going and then launch into attack mode with MY Church believes this and you can’t prove that. I give verse and scripture and the result is “I don’t believe in Sola Scriptura” or something to that effect. Look at MarkBsnr s tagline for heavens sake. If that doesn’t tell you where this guy gets his Koolaid® from, nothing does. I tried to have a dialogue with OFOLOB and he is untruthful in saying I haven’t given him verses from the NT. He then accuses me repeatedly of looking at things with “Ellen White glasses” when I do not quote the woman, I don’t follow the woman and give her no more weight than the pope and repeatedly tell him so. He is intellectually dishonest.
My father hated the Catholic church because it was corrupt and tyrannical and intolerant. We’ve come a long ways since those days when he said that. People like you would set us back and turn us against each other all over again. I won’t have any part of it.
You should be more concerned about the latent corruption in your own church instead of bemoaning that turning protestant is apostasy.
By and large, yes. in the case of Lutherans and Methodists, 100% yes. In the case of even Presbyterians, mostly yes.
But there are too many who continuously over the years tell us that we worship a Satanic gospel and when they tire of telling us that, they tell each other that...
“How can you dialog with a side that isn’t interested in dialog?”
You can’t. They have concrete minds— all mixed up and permanently set.
