Dear Brian,
So "the_doc" is a "Reformed Baptist", and OP is, of course, an OP. I suppose a "Reformed Baptist" isn't a "Southern Baptist", which, or course, wouldn't be a "National Baptist", nor, I guess, an "Independent Baptist". Is that anything like an "Anabaptist"?
Maybe we're Catholics cause we're just too lazy to keep track of all the different prots. They're ALL correct, you know!! They ALL have the right interpretation of the Bible, you know!! Except that none of 'em ever agree with each other EXCEPT THAT WE CATHOLICS ARE WRONG!!
I will tell you, Brian, that my faith in the Church has been strengthened over the years watching protestants do "apologetics". It isn't that their arguments are so outlandish. Many of them are quite reasonable! Many of them seem like they could be true! On even important doctrinal issues! But, yet, they still disagree, one with the other! Imagine that! That there could be multiple reasonable interpretations of Scriptures! That it would be nearly impossible to get through the thicket of varying interpretations to the Truth. It's terrible that Jesus left us without any way to know which interpretation is correct. So many are so misguided and lost in sin (whether it's the OP version of things, or the RB, or the SB, or the... whatever interpetation that is right), and there is no way to discern among the many reasonable interpretations! The Church is overcome by error and darkness! Why, in that way, it seems that the gates of Hell have prevailed against His Church. How shall one ever know precisely what is meant by the Gospel of Jesus Christ?!?!?
Oh, wait. I forgot. We're Catholic. This isn't a problem for us. Is it?
