1l1f1b is talking about the tendency of certain folks who will align themselves with those who say the Trinity is false, with Unitarians (remember Reg?), Jehovah’s witnesses, etc. as long as they join in a diatribe against Catholicism. So, boatbums, is it ok for someone to claim sola scriptura and say the Trinity is a fabrication? or a Jehovah’s Witness or Unitarian point of view, which are both based on strict ss —> would you align yourself with them against orthodoxy?

I don't care who it is if what they are saying is TRUE. Do y'all have it in your heads that only certain people are allowed to criticize Catholicism? What you call "aligning" with someone is usually no more that than just happening to agree with them about a specific thing. What you categorize as being a problem of sola scriptura is no such thing at all. Athanasius disputed heretics by appealing to the SAME Scripture those he opposed said they did and he defeated false doctrine by knowing the Scripture BETTER than they did.

If the topic of a RF thread concerns the doctrine of the Trinity, I have no qualms at all discussing with whoever is on where I may or may not differ with them. What I see happening with "certain folks" is the tendency to label another person falsely based upon how a comment is stated and they then follow that person around across threads with the same false accusations - even when the accused has made statements that clarify what may have been misinterpreted. You have been guilty, yourself, of doing just that and, apparently, you are teaching others to do the same.

OLOFOB hasn't been here long enough to know about conflicts that went on two or three years ago, but he is cuing off your own accusations that have been proven false - yet you don't seem to make any effort to correct him. Why is that? Is it because such can be added to an arsenal for future flaming?

Perhaps if these dialogs can be seen for what they really are - a discussion of different beliefs - and not a war that requires choosing sides, we might all get more out of it. You should try it sometime.

I've told you before to go and talk to your non-Trinitarian pals and ask them why they say

I've told you this before and still if someone wants to hang with these folks, that's their problem

go and pick the log out of your own eye boatbums before commenting on the mote in ours....

Boatbums, Why support someone who disavows the trinity?
Iscool: God did not identify the Trinity...

You say God is three persons...You are wrong again...God is a Spirit...Look it up in the scriptures.

or another one

1l1f1b: Modalism teaches, the Father is God, Jesus is the Father and the Holy Spirit is the Father.

Iscool: Well guess what...That's what the bible teaches...

Jesus said that if you've seem me, you've seen the Father...Jesus said I and the Father are one..

Is this what you believe too, boatbums?

Boatbums, Why support someone who has this theology -- Izzy: God has the same makeup, He has a body, soul and a spirit

Jesus was sitting on or in God...Perhaps the Throne is more like a couch that has more than three spots for sitting

But then some bumptious ones will support any kind of interpretation -- even this, or Mormonism or unitarianism....

Is this what you believe too, boatbums?
