Question the Practice of Halloween... Or the Christian Practice of Satanism

<> I am unable to agree to a pact with one who says all our acts are kotex. On another thread you agreed with Mom's interpretation of Isaias 64:6 that all our acts are bloody rags; "Kotex" as mom defined it. That goes even for those of us Baptised and who are now incorportaed into the Family of God as adopted sons and daughters.

To my way of thinking, that renders your particpation in any pact nugatory<>

So much for his so called apology ...

Catholicguy has few weapons at his disposal and must resort to expletives and gross vulgarities to amplify his rhetorical thrusts. But it is generally ineffective against other Warriors. Combatants know when he has spent the fury of his attack when he suggests that his opponent's mother is a professional sexual services provider (although he will put it in different terms).

What Paul is referring to is "boasting" of works...

Romans 3
27 Where then is (1) boasting? It is excluded. By (2) what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.

Romans 4
2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but (1) not before God.

Ephesians 2
9 (1) not as a result of works, so that (2) no one may boast

Romans 2
The Jew Is Condemned by the Law

17 But if you bear the name "Jew" and (1) rely upon the Law and boast in God,
23 You who (2) boast in the Law, through your breaking the Law, do you dishonor God?

1 Corinthians 1
29 so that (1) no man may boast before God

<> I appreciate your p.o.v. I am recalcitrant on this principle though. I can't enter into a pact with one who thinks his works Kotex.

What is ironic is that I think his actions are much better than he does:) Perhaps it is just the case that some men are better than their principles rather than in the case of most men who are worse than their principles

I agree with all you say - except the matter of trustworthiness. Ideas have consequences. I can't agree to a pact with another who says all his works are Kotex anymore than I can agree to accept the testimony of one who says all his words are lies.

That having been said, I expect that prolly there will be a dimunition in the frequency of exchanges twixt me and he:)<>

We are in agreement here, thankfully.

[Catholicguy]

Didn't do your penance huh? :>))

<> Yes. I did my penance. I always do whenever I go to Confession.<>

Dear Catholicguy,

"<> I have decided your screenname ought to be obeyed)<>"

It seems that you're a little slow in catching on. ;-)

You might think your sophomorish posts and jpg's are cute or witty...but only you do.

Leave me off your pinglist when I'm not actively involved in the thread, Mack.

In fact, just don't ping me at all.

Ephesians 5:4 Let there be no filthiness, nor silly talk, nor levity, which are not fitting; but instead let there be thanksgiving.

Dear BM,

I'm pretty sure I'm the fat guy.

I'm all for good intelligent and hard hitting CHRISTIAN polemics.

But this whole Kotex debate has no place in our apologetics vocabulary.

1) Knock it off.

2) If you refuse to abide by number 1, at least leave me out of it. I want no part of such juvenile debating tactics.

Not true, I've had hundreds of people FReep mail me ROFLOL at you guys.

Dittos. This has gone too far.

To my fellow Catholics:

Knock off the gutter talk.

To our separated brethren:

Certain JPG's and other images are just as offensive.

Knock it off, if you expect to be treated as a Christian or seen as one.

I'll have no part of this any further. Don't ping me to it.

That speaks volumes.

Leave me out of it.

<> I'll agree to stop using Kotex. I will continue to use filthy rags in referring to all their works when it is applicable to those that assert Isaias 64:6 aplies to them. That just makes sense. Rnmom0f7 and drstevej says it applies to them and all their works. <>

[Polycarp]

I'll agree to stop using Kotex. I will continue to use filthy rags

Thank you. That is a perfectly acceptable compromise.

[drstevej]

<>drstevej says it applies to them and all their works.<>

Not true. Here's my view.

[1] A believer's work produced by grace is not a filthy rag.

[2] A believer's self effort does get burned in the judgment.

[3] A believer's efforts done to impress men likewise perish.

[4] All efforts of unbelievers are filthy rags.

[5] I believe that a believe is simul justus et pecccator. But this does not preclude a believer from producing good works through grace.

[6] I believe that a believe is simul justus et pecccator. This does mean that believers are no perfect, they sin. Such sin dirupts fellowship but doesn't forfeit eternal life

That's my view. It may be rn's too, but whether it is or not is unrelated to me.
