“Uh...yes, it does matter who wrote it. Your issue is with the owners of the website. Take it up with them.”
I have no issue with the owners of the website. The author was wrong - but they only made one error and it was extremely minor. You, on the other hand, make errors in almost every substantial post you write. You consistently get things wrong. You can’t be trusted. They can. I believe they want to get things right. I have never seen you put any effort in getting things right. I have no issue with the authors of the website.
“You insinuated in your prior post that I had written the words that were from the website in question.”
How often do you insinuate things? I consistently get things right - OBJECTIVELY - and you consistently get things wrong - OBJECTIVELY - and yet all you’ll do is resort to posting about “Vlad’s Rules”. That’s the apparent level of your argumentation.
“You’re compounding your growing list of errors on this thread.”
Except for a typo here or there I have yet to make one about what we’re arguing about. I made no error with scripture, no error with history, no error with the catechism, no error in doctrine, no error in logic. None. I rarely do. I just care about getting things right - and I usually do get things right - but I see no such care on your end. You don’t seem to give a damn about getting things right. When you cite BEGINNINGcatholic.com (OBVIOUS EMPHASIS ADDED) as if they have done something wrong for only posting the Traditional Catechetical Formula when the bottom of the page links to the CCC pages on the three versions of the commandments what on earth do you think you are achieving??? When you cite another webpage that has both the Biblical text and the TCF versions and you have to admit it does in your own post after talking about it as if there was something wrong, what do you think you’re accomplishing? What?
When you say, “Beginningcatholic.com does have the link to the Catechism...never said it didn’t” you’re making a fool out of yourself. Go back and look at what you actually wrote. You failed to take into account the very name of the website: BEGINNINGcatholic.com (OBVIOUS EMPHASIS ADDED). You failed to mention that it was clearly using the TCF because it was easiest for people to grasp and memorize. And you failed to mention that it linked to the CCC which clearly shows they were not trying to hide anything from anyone in any way.
And very early on the illogic of your position was shown to be simply erroneous. If Catholics were trying to cover up something with the TCF version then why on earth do the Eastern Orthodox use essentially the same numbering as Protestants and yet often have CHURCHES FILLED WITH IMAGES FROM FLOOR TO CEILING????? Lutherans also use the same TCF as Catholics and yet they too often use images and they pride themselves - at least historically - on being a sola scriptura people. Those two points right there completely shoot to pieces any anti-Catholic’s claim of some nefarious cover up with the TCF. And I think that’s exactly why in post after post after post where I mentioned those points YOU HAVE NOT DEALT WITH THEM.
“See how you are? AMPU (spelling!) throws you a nice comment and you act like the south end of a north bound mule...hence Vlad’s Rule of Internet Debate #1...always use ad hominem attacks.”
Why do you assume that aMPU was making a “nice comment” if he is mocking a book of the Bible? Why would you think someone mocking a book of the Bible as “Siracha sauce” - a play on the name for a condiment - is making a “nice comment”? Do you see how YOU ARE? How you actually claim mocking the Bible - when it’s done to a Catholic - is a “nice comment”? Now the reason why you apparently think this will fly is that you failed (I guess) to take notice that I cited the Book of Sirach to aMPU in the previous post. In other words, you apparently have no idea of what you’re talking about - as is so common the case. I went back and found that post because I truly believe that you’re pretty helpless and hapless in finding things on the internet: http://freerepublic.com/focus/religion/3608661/posts?page=430#430
So I posted Sirach 6:22 to aMPU and his comeback was “I love the Siracha sauce Vlad! Good recommendation” mocking the Bible. And you think the fact that I point out he spelled it wrong is. . . what? Not taking kindly to a “nice comment”? What “nice comment”? Seriously, do you see how YOU are - to borrow your question?
And what did I respond to him with? “You mean Sriracha sauce. You couldn’t even get that right. Par for the course.”
In your book, mocking a book of the Bible is making a “nice comment”. “See how you are?” Do you see how YOU are?
“It can sometimes also be spelled Siracha...just as AMPU (spelling!) did. You can go look it up.”
You could only say that if you are ignoring - or just plain pretending - that post 430 does not exist. It does.
Sirach - a Book of the Bible.
Sriracha - a condiment.
Siracha - a mocking comment about a book of the Bible done as a poor play on the name of a condiment.
I made no error on this at all. If you’re an honest man, however, you’ll admit, at the very least, that you did not see post 430. I would really hate to think (but would not be surprised) that you knew 430 was there all along and are posting as you are anyway. And what would that say about you?
No Vlad, I was making a joke.
I understand you do not do humor. Others understood immediately.
In the end, it was funnier because of your lack of humor and the shared experience with others. I can be thankful for that.
Sirach isn't inspired Scripture. Consequently not part of the canon. Consequently, I will put it on foods that need a kick.
Your post illustrates why I came up with the Rules. I think this post touches on all of them. Have a good one vlad.
Hey Vlad!
