I know the difference. I’m just making certain history, at least in that respect, is not repeated.
to which you relied;
By making unclear mix and match accusational sort of comment ...that makes it appear as one thing while it is yet another ---
You hope to do well?
How about be square with me, instead?
If I raise complaint about the way(s) you can come across, instead of continually handing me high & mighty brush-off sort of lecturing reply, do something else, and then I won't be so irritated with your "style".
One begets another.
A long while back I called you out on what appeared to me to be efforts to browbeat people here into not commenting negatively against the persistent barrage of Roman Catholic promotional propaganda this forum has long been subjected to.
Anyone (who is a member) can post articles. Any who is signed up can argue for or against.
If myself doing so while also pointing to flawed suppositions which bear upon positional statements (replying, returning comment for comment and supposition) amid all the posing and posturing a few indulge in --- is too much to bear --- then how would anyone ever think they could promote the same agendas (while acting the same way) elsewhere -- like -- in the real world, face to face?
Meanwhile, I am one (among more than a few present here at FreeRepublic) who is capable of rationally engaging in theological discussion.
As I've said several times over now --- I've not been getting anything much from yourself for the efforts other than the same declarative statements and quoting from CCC etc.
All along I've been trying to explain the (multiple) reasons for not buying into the storylines tangent to those items of discussion which are most often disputed, both on these pages and elsewhere.
Similar conversations have been going on for about 500 years now. One can track how those have changed just a little bit here and there, with RCC positions having in many ways adopted portions of the theological views held by those of Reform traditions albeit most often expressing those same, similar or parallel views in differing wording -- while also trying to keep hold of "papacy" and prayers to departed saints (and the Marionsism which is smack-dab in the middle of that) at the same time.
Believe what you will. Bring it here though, and it may face being inspected, dissected, roasted, and then --- rejected.
