It would be great if protestants were willing to actually tell us what church they belong to so that they can’t hammer ‘personal attack’ everytime we challenge ‘personal’ beliefs.
Our church is the Kingdom of God...And we don't need a phone to get in contact with the CEO...
Who's doing that? Links to complaints, if you can.
I belong to the body of Christ, the Bride of Christ, of whom I am a member by being born again through faith in Jesus.
Catholics are singularly incapable of wrapping their minds around the concept that THE church, the body of Christ, is NOT a denomination or building. That is an organism, not an organization.
FWIW, I don't belong to a "church", I belong to Jesus. I am willing to attend any local assembly of believers whose statement of faith attests to salvation by grace through faith in Jesus, not of works.
“It would be great if protestants were willing to actually tell us what church they belong to so that they can’t hammer ‘personal attack’ everytime we challenge ‘personal’ beliefs.”
But in that you would overcome the purpose of using screen names, staying out of the personal realm, and dealing objectively with the doctrine or belief instead of the personality.
There is a certain percentage of us who feel that right is right and wrong is wrong without regard to the organization that espouses the idea and it is the message that should be dealt with not the poster.
Calling a poster a “troll” and a “vicious anti-catholic spammer” or something of like nature is not a “challenge ‘personal’ belief”.
IMO if you want to discuss beliefs then you need to ask "what do you believe?" not "what church do you attend?" Case in point: I myself attest to The Westminister Confession of Faith. Knowing that, you could easily discuss each of the thirty-three chapters with me, one by one without making it personal in any way. For that matter, you could even discuss it without me if you choose, because the topic is the belief, not the believer.
You can do this with anyone, and you would know more about things that people actually believe, and why they believe them, than you would know had you asked for the name of the church or denomination that people attend. That is, you can if you're interested in discussing beliefs, and not harassing people into leaving FR.
Go on, give it a try.
