This was not a caucus thread you know there is disagreement on these subjects and if you did not want it you should have posted it to caucus Jim asked for no bashing but I did not see where he said we had to agree with everything the catholic contingent says I have tried to speak truth with love but I will speak truth
Don’t you mean speak the truth as you believe it to be? Honestly, these discussions between Protestants and Catholic could be so much more respectful if each of us would only use the words “in my opinion.” In reality, none of us really knows the truth, and to claim we do is pure hubris.
He didn't...That's just 'their' ultimate goal here on FR.
“...speak the truth in love...”
The problem is posts such as #50 that appear very quickly and are not speaking the “Truth in Love”.
The problem is not disagreement in and of itself.
It is obvious when the bashing starts as it speaks for itself. Most people inherently “get” the difference in nuance between snark and honest doctrinal discussion.
Most understand and recognize the difference at once when they experience it or dish it out.
