Do not badger another Freeper to answer the same question over and again. It is making the thread "about" an individual Freeper. It is "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

“Maybe you should post a scriptural rebuttal to what CB said or quoted.”

Why? What point is there in “rebutting” ding-dong nutcase views that attack mainstream Christian practice? Need I defend celebrating Easter and Christmas? Really? Shall I also defend the Triune God? Baptism? What else must I defend against goofy solo heresies? And why?

And yet they have “badgered” me to quote what CB said, and to defend my views. Odd. If they ASK me for what I post, how is my asking them to respond to THEIR request “badgering”? Especially when they asked again, again and again, as in this case?

I am about to remove 10 of your posts which ask the same questions over and again.

How many times have you been asked the same question over and again? What are the post numbers?

"Why? What point is there in “rebutting” ding-dong nutcase views that attack mainstream Christian practice?"

So that you can put this side issue to bed.

4204
4211
4215
4198

And many prior.

ROTFL

So a rebuttal of goofy is what is needed to set aside goofy? Why?

[boatbums]

How anyone can justify being saved and committing murder and adultery is beyond me,there is no appropriate context in which to even say such things

You ask for "context" and then proceed to give a short few sentences of what was an entire sermon! I gave you a link to it. How ridiculous to claim Luther advocated gross sins. He most certainly did not and, if he had even suggested such behavior was sanctioned by God's grace, he would have NEVER had the followers he did. Don't you see what you are doing by making such silly accusations? You have cherry-picked pieces out of a mountain of work (probably from anti-Protestant sources) and falsely used them to try to prove a point NONE us us is even asserting. We don't follow after fallible men - we trust in what God's holy and infallible WORD says.

Really, stfassisi, you accomplish nothing by tossing out your "Luther Card", like some use a race card. It reflects badly on the one who relies upon it to trump another's point. It won't work! Has it yet?

It's not the same thing. The four posts are by two different posters using different phrasing. It is not the same question asked repeatedly, i.e. badgering.

[mitch5501]

"So a rebuttal of goofy is what is needed to set aside goofy? Why?"

Why? Because sometimes theological giants make mistakes and if they actually are theological giants then Scriptural authority should shut them up.

[narses]

OK, except it has gone on for two days.

Sorry, those who mock Easter and Christmas a pagan have to deal with their own issues, I will simply mock them as they pop up.

[mitch5501]

"I will simply mock them as they pop up."

Practice makes perfect,I wish you well in your endeavor.

[boatbums]

WRONG, Cynical Bear has no need to "play games". However, you seem to enjoy making posts quite personal anytime you disagree with him and others. You ping your lists frequently and drag up the same accusations against him who has been more than happy to discuss what he really thinks about the topics you only want to list as if what YOU say he said is what he has said. You don't like that he thinks certain "Christian" holidays and their images have pagan origins? So, what! He's certainly not alone and he has NEVER said he condemns others if they observe them.

For someone who seems to only be able to post mocking cartoons, rote "prayers" in foreign languages as if they were talismans and repetitive, meaningless accusations without ANY context or explanations, I'd say the REAL game player is quite obvious - and not just to me!

BEING MORE THAN OBNOXIOUS
IS NOT A FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT

[Elsie]

...ignore the fact that the only time "faith alone" appears in the Holy Scripture is to deny salvation by faith alone.

Yup; Scripture gets ignored all right.

When Jesus answers, point blank, a direct question, it gets ignored.

What part of MUST is so invisible to Catholics?

And what part of Acts chapter 15 is so abhorent to them?

John 6:28-29

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

1 John 3:21-24

Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

Me, I will stick with the Faith handed down and shepherded by the hand-picked successors of the Apostles Our Lord appointed as guardians of the faith here on earth.

Good!

Go for it!!!
