It gets a little fine as we wander into past posts.
I am happy to hear of your regard for me and I can reciprocate, though, like family, we may all "get" to each other from time to time. I rejoice that there is not residual animosity even though we wrestle over some doctrine.
Very good. I've been relatively absent on FR lately. No time...
As to Cronos' insistence that NO non-Catholics EVER dispute non-trinitarians when Catholics are involved in the discussion, and that we are "all out to get you 'caflics'" (or however he spelled it), I still disagree. That implies that non-Catholics care more about attacking Catholics than they do defending Christian tenets. It is demonstrably untrue despite a few threads dug up from years past. That was what my response was about.
There was a substantial cabal in which you participated over a period of some years in which the Catholic position was debated rather contentiously. In that cabal were some demonstrably non Christians who were not only supported but encouraged.
I have NO qualms at all debating Roman Catholic Church doctrines that I believe are wrong and it should not matter who is presenting the position if I agree with it. I can hunt up posts where I disagreed with some of these certain Freepers as well on different doctrines. I was just looking over my posts since April and found seven where I did exactly that. I'd like to know what you mean by "demonstrably non Christians". If, for example, a Jewish person disagreed with a Catholic's contention that the world was created over millions of years and that Darwinian evolution is true rather than believe God created the world in six days, as Scripture says, then, yes, I would side with that Jewish believer against the Catholic because I agree that God DID create the world in six days. But, have I sided with a non-trinitarian's doctrine against the Trinity when arguing with the Catholic Church's teaching? NO. I would not do that because I agree with the Catholic Church doctrine of the Trinity.
Calling such opposition a "cabal", as if we were all some members of a secret society bent on intrigue and conspiracy, I would say is just silly. Just like labeling people "harpies" or "losers", it only shows the user of those names is riled up and unable to present a well-thought out response and seeks to wound in any way he can. It is quite transparent when that is going on and I hope it can be overcome.
I've said this before and I will do so again, I see these threads as opportunities to spread the Gospel and reach people for the truth. It is also like having a Bible study every day I can join in and it edifies me as well. I thank God we have this forum in which to share our thoughts, hopes, needs and blessings and I pray Free Republic will continue to be there for us all.
I have noticed your absence and missed you, believe it or not! I hope all is going well with your job and the family is healthy and happy. Have a good night.
