But still not understood by yourself ---for there's been no acknowledgement on your part of where I have differed from him, all along.

I did not say any of that, now did I?

If you bring this up again, it will be be badgering (if it isn't already).

Grow up. Quit playing childish games.

As for your own opinions of Protestants --- what would those be? That they are "not Christians"?

Funny how that works. People who love to dish it out (judgement and condemnation of others) can't take it, and then blame people who are not engaging in that same set of actions for what they are themselves doing.

As for 'Catholics' being Christians --- as far as I can tell, some are, and many quite possibly are total strangers to God, or at the least, are in no real and personal way submitted to Him.

Superficial acquiescence to some set of teachings, a mere mental assent which produces little-to-no Godly fruit is not the same thing as actually being born into His kingdom --a Christian -- not one with much in way of maturity, anyhow, though I suppose there could be some room for personal development to eventually bear noticeable fruit in instances of where a "Christian" isn't a very good one of those?

Wheat and tares. That kind of condition can be found among most any Christian congregation also, it seems. Why should anything else differing from that condition be expected? Care to venture answer towards that?

If you chose to reply to myself again, make the effort to address what I have said, instead of doing everything but that, being as I'm so important around here you are as you said, "taking note"(s).

Whoa little buddy. Take a breath. Correcting the record is not badgering.

You asked in post 45: What about the part where Ransomed had initially misrepresented these authors we are discussing? He had said they said "do not consider Coptics to be Christian" and then you added when in the other article that he mentioned that I provided link for, it was more specifically "do not assume they are" Christian,

I just was showing that the second part of your statement is not entirely true and that Ransomed was correct, by my posting of what Gideon Knox actually wrote: "Coptic believers are not Christians for the exact same reason Protestants don’t believe Catholics are Christians."

Ransomed was right. Not only that, they also said Catholics aren't Christian. At least the Southern Baptists had the sense to back off, even if it was only because their statement would have looked bad after the Coptic beheadings.

That's'all. Apologies if the correction is badgering you.
