This Catholic thread was a throwing down of the gauntlet to Protestants, and you know it.

I don't know of a single instance where Catholic hijack Protestant or Jewish threads on FR. It's because we're comfortable with our faith and don't feel the need to impose it on others like those who bow to Mohammad.

BUT - if you're going to bring it, expect it back tenfold.

First of all, that's hardly true. There have been any number of times where we've been having an internal discussion about Protestant theology that a Catholic Freeper popped in to try to slam Sola Scriptura.

Secondly, I daresay that if I posted a thread titled, "Why the Roman Catholic Church Didn't Give Us The Scriptures," or even a slightly more subtle, "Idolatry in the Bible," you'd all come running. (And pinging the mod, and hollaring "Catholic-basher!" at the top of your keyboards.)

When Catholics and Eastern Orthodox have threads debating the points between them, I often read, but I don't interfere. When Catholics have threads dealing with purely internal matters, I don't get into them.

But when you guys post yet another thread claiming, "We gave you the Bible (false), so you have to accept all of our other traditions too (also false, even if premise #1 were true)," we have every right to respond. And when you claim to carry on the Apostolic traditions, I have every right to show you from the Scriptures where their practices and Yeshua's teachings are contradictory to yours.

I have argued purely from the Scriptures which we both accept as authoritative. I have invited anyone here to correct me from the Scriptures. You have not done so. I have been polite and on-topic. I have not engaged in any ad-hominems on either anyone here personally nor on anyone not here.

You, suffice to say, have done none of the above. You have gone so low in your latest post as to try to throw the mud of Islam on your opponents. Well, when you throw mud, you not only get your hands dirty, but you lose a lot of ground. And now you want to claim victimhood?

Sorry, it doesn't work that way.

I will thank you not to ping me again to this thread. Have a pleasant day, and God bless.
