First of all, isn't everyone a newcomer at one time or another? Doesn't anyone have the right to post?

Certainly, but not making statement as if they were a seasoned active veteran, which they would be in order for your judgement to have validity.


Excuse me, but I was judging no one! But if someone is new, they deserve patience from those who have been around awhile, not to be treated as if they are unwelcome. St. Paul is easily the most frequently quoted writer here. Did he not say, when I was a child, I spake as a child? Did Jesus not say to let the children come to Him? Shouldn't we welcome new people? God led them here for a reason; let's have patience, as once someone may have had when each of us here started.

You mean you were not judging others in stating, "Must be the season for uptight anti-catholics to bash the church " simply due to 4 posts stating Scriptural denial of the Catholic priesthood (the only "shoving Scripture" without an argument was done by a RC) and one calling it a pagan church due to that fact?

Did he not say, when I was a child, I spake as a child? Did Jesus not say to let the children come to Him?

And children sometimes touch hot stoves, and should learn from it. When you jump into combat and proceed to condemn one side for firing back at the latest example of false teaching - this one that of making the apostles and NT presbuteros into being the non-existent separate class of NT believers distinctively titiled "priests" ("hiereus”) - then it is you who are only a child in a hot kitchen acting like a veteran, and got burned by your presumptuous action.

Here is the remedy: Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. (1 Corinthians 14:20)
