I sense any Catholic not cowed by your mewling, finger-pointing, whining and complaining about defense of the truth would tick you off.

As far as I can tell, the only "mewling, finger-pointing, whining and complaining" on this thread is coming from you.

I have found that to be the case with any vigorous, uncompromising defense of Christianity. There are always those that take personal umbrage at objective defenses of the truth and demand that the defended cease his defense. Truth divides. It is that simple.

Your assertion that what you believe to be true is "the Truth" does not make it so. If my saying that offends you, tough. Surely you could not be offended by "any vigorous, uncompromising defense of" Judaism? Surely you would not take "personal umbrage at objective defenses of the truth"?

Angelo, "The Truth" is a matter of Divine Revelation. I don't "debate" that. I accept it. If others don't, that isn't between me and them; it is between them and Jesus, The Word made flesh.

Your statement about "defending Judaism" is revealtory. It is not a defense. It is an direct assault upon Jesus, the Messiah, Our Lord and Saviour and, especially for you, the Gospel of John.

I don't spend my time seeking out threads where i might attack the Faith of Jews, Never have, never will. I don't understand that mind set. I am not about to become embroiled in post, then counter-post, then counter-counter post of scripture ina "debate" Saecula Saeculorum. You are the one that inserted yourself between me and my response to the article this thread is about. You have taken my response to the putative Document and the polemicists mentioned in the story and you have personalised them as directed at you. I can not prevent you from doing that.

One reason I left the neverending thread LONG AGO was the incessant and inane attacks on Divine Revelation. The attacks were even directed against Jesus directly, denying He is both man and God.

I have never attacked Jews or their beliefs and I sure as hell wouldn't waste my time searching threads where I could claim victimhood and attack the Faith of another
