"All for what? So some anonymous internet poster can determine if we're *Christian* (or Christian enough) based on some arbitrary standards they set up?"

YOu are being judged, but not by us. We don't need answers to any specific question nor establish arbitrary standards to conclude. All one needs to do is to look for the Fruits of the Holy Spirit in the body of any Freepers recent posting history. Where we cannot find charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity, goodness, long suffering, mildness, faith, modesty, continency, and chastity we will not find the Holy Spirit. That is the judgment of consequence.

Some time ago I looked over the body of my posts and did not like what I saw. Regardless of my motivations, largely absent were these very Fruits. This realization contributed to a change of heart and a re-dedication to the Gospel of Jesus. I now review my posts frequently for signs that I may be backsliding. I encourage you to do the same.

Peace be with you.

Stretching the truth more than a little bit, eh? Firstly, kostka was not a "professional" agnostic

Somehow I just KNEW this would be the route taken! Kosta was a PROFESSED agnostic. That is not the same thing as a professional agnostic. And it was professed because he openly stated more than a few times that he WAS and we had many discussions about it. So who is stretching the truth here, Cronos??? It IS curious that you side with him when you state he "argued with me on facts" and "on that I lost repeatedly". Since most of our arguments related to faith, the existence of God, the role of faith, the Messianic prophecies of Scripture, etc., then where do YOUR loyalties lie? You only prove my contention, which also proves your own hypocrisy. A lesson I remember from Catholic school: "Clean off your own doorstep before you try to clean off someone else's." At least that one was true.

fourth -- I will agree with an agnostic on facts, not on theology -- do you agree with a Unitarian on his denial of Christ's divinity? Why band with a Unitarian or non-Trinitarian just because they are non-Catholic? Is this some sense of "let's band with anyone and everyone who isn't of orthodoxy"?

No, I do not agree with anyone who denies the Deity of Christ and I have said so numerous times. By the same token as you claim here, I also agree with those when they state facts and apparently, you seem to deny anyone could possibly be correct in criticizing the Roman Catholic Church. How's your doorstep?
