The dig at me was in the first line. I didn’t need to read any further.

Post 118: I find the claim of it being a *courtesy* freepmail rather unbelievable in light of the comments made about me in it.< P>The dig at me was in the first line. I didn’t need to read any further.

interesting phrasing given the sue of the plural.

Given that your opinion is wrong about my opinion being wrong, you cannot deny what the word of God clearly says - opinion or no opinion. Do you like theological ping-pong?

[boatbums]

But isn't it interesting how the thread - which was about a Catholic priest who left Catholicism for the genuine fullness of the Christian faith - was diverted into an argument about Mary and the novel RC dogmas about her? It makes me wonder why some seem incapable of discussing a topic without digressing into areas that they already know they will not find agreement.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. (I Cor. 13:4-7)

And the Catholics really wish the prots would stop doing that.

I didn’t state opinions I stated facts.

What “facts” are those? You have an opinion and you have rejected what God’s word says that contradicted that opinion, so what facts do you have that prove God’s word is in error?

[metmom]

*Did God REALLY say......* that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, except for Mary?

Or did He forget to mention her in that passage?

[verga]

Hey if makes your day a little brighter to think that, you just go right ahead.

[boatbums]

Neither you nor I are here to make each others days a little brighter. I can't speak for you, of course, but my reason is to glorify God while speaking the truth of the Gospel with as much gentleness and respect as possible.

You put out a challenge by dismissing my comments as mere "opinion" - even though I backed up what I said with Scripture - and you said I was wrong and that you had "facts". My challenge to you was to bring forth those facts. If you cannot do so and you only intended to mock and ridicule rather than actually dialog, then you might want to save us both the time and trouble and admit you aren't serious about discussing this. Thanks.

[verga]

I am always serious, I am just not willing to waste my time arguing with people that ignore the truth.

[boatbums]

If you have no “facts”, you have no truth. You’ve been asked several times now to present these facts and you haven’t. Why did you even come onto the thread?

The facts were presented on this thread and on previous ones, perhaps you missed them, didn't understand them, or did not like them, but they were presented.

Why did you even come onto the thread?

I really don't hink that protrs should call Jesus a sinner.
