And that is why I can say with absolute confidence that protestants, especially protestant homeschoolers, are intellectually dishonest.
Did Calvin get reincarnated as Terry Pratchett?
“And that is why I can say with absolute confidence that protestants, especially protestant homeschoolers, are intellectually dishonest.”
That was an ugly and inaccurate statement.
Here's one place:
For it was not to angels that God subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking. It has been testified somewhere,
“What is man that thou art mindful of him, or the son of man, that thou carest for him? Thou didst make him for a little while lower than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honor, putting everything in subjection under his feet.”
Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. As it is, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. But we see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for every one.
For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through suffering. For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified have all one origin. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying,
“I will proclaim thy name to my brethren, in the midst of the congregation I will praise thee.”
And again,
“I will put my trust in him.”
And again,
“Here am I, and the children God has given me.”
Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same nature, that through death he might destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong bondage. For surely it is not with angels that he is concerned but with the descendants of Abraham. Therefore he had to be made like his brethren in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make expiation for the sins of the people. For because he himself has suffered and been tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted. (Hebrews 2:5-18)
Somehow, claiming to be a former Catholics gains some street cred in some circles. Perhaps we could find a few of their names on a parish record somewhere, but aside from some technicality they were never actually Catholic.
What we do know is that many who claim that they left the Church over doctrinal differences know exceedingly little about Church doctrine.
Debating the pagan cult beliefs of the RCC is a rather futile waste of time anyway.
And many left who know a great deal about RC doctrine.
BTW Are you into mind reading now to know what Protestants know? Do you have any evidence of some protestant “knowing they are wrong” or are you clairvoyant?
Not necessarily, when the scripture is proclaimed...
Isaiah 55:11
so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
Maybe so, but none of them have shown up on FR.
Maybe a few have. Most know enough.
In reality all we need to know is Faith alone or Faith and works.
It is dead spot on.
Metmom made the statement upthread in post #451What they fail to consider is that support for contraception is a symptom of a breakdown of faith
I replied in #491 Began by the COE at the Lambeth conference in 1929 and EVERY single protestant faith followed suit shortly there after. How many Protestant churches support Gay marriages?
Her snarky reply in #510 Documentation please. From a real source.
In post #640 I supplied a review of that conference from an attendee: Charles Gore, D.D., D.C.L., LL. D. Bishop of Oxford. Here is a link to his entire statement: http://anglicanhistory.org/gore/contra1930.html
He clearly states his reservations about Resolution 15, which permits members of the CoE to use artificial contraception.
I had to ask her twice to respond to the documentation that she requested. Her brilliantly conceived response was: FOTFLOL!!!!!!!!
How would you describe her response?
Those quotes don’t say anything about Jesus being born to a sinful human.
Fixed it for you.
Name something that Protestants do that originated in paganism.
