We all certainly put you on a par with the theologians in the Vatican.....

Nice anti-Catholic rant.

What are your bona fides?

lol. As if there is something more "bona fide" than God's holy word.

A clergyman hopelessly entrenched in Roman Catholic dogma once taunted WILLIAM TYNDALE with the statement, “We are better to be without God’s laws than the Pope’s.”

Tyndale was infuriated by such Roman Catholic heresies, and he replied, “I defy the Pope and all his laws. If God spare my life ere many years, I will cause the boy that drives the plow to know more of the scriptures than you!”

And by the grace of God, he did.

If you think that was a hard question, no wonder you dismiss the Bible. Scripture not only tells us what we are to do and think and believe and live by, it tells us what we are NOT to do and think and believe and live by, i.e. much of Rome’s doctrines.

I was asking the bona fides from someone else, not you (unless you are Xenia, but then I would wonder about schizophrenia).

The way you snarkily answered the question, evidently you do not know what is being asked.

....And that’s enough anti-Catholic ranting from you....

Doesn’t matter on FR who you asked. Anyone can jump in.

That's quite an insult since I can't think of any (theologians) that have ever taken residence there.

Nice anti-Catholic rant.

That's because I am anti-Catholic. I live for the day when Our Lord will expose this organization and the false doctrine they have been preaching for 1700 years.

What are your bona fides?

That's almost as good as "There, I fixed it for you!" (post #99)

Evidently, you cannot discuss theological concepts from scripture. I swear.....I don't know why you folks just don't throw it in the trash (the Bible). You don't pay attention to anything it ever says anyway. If so, you would have attempted some type of defense to my statement that "The Lord was speaking of himself being the Rock ("Petra") in [Matthew 16:18]......and not Peter. You've ignored, and continue to ignore every scripture that I have offered that shows your position in error.

Here's some advice. If you take a position in theology, support with legitimate, divinely inspired writings of the Apostles and not some lame, half baked tradition of men [Mark 7:7-8]. Then.....God will also support your position.

lolol. Spoken like a true authoritarian.

As proven on this forum hundreds of times, any disagreement with Rome is considered "anti-(Roman) Catholic ranting.

"If you look upon him as an unconverted person, in a state of enmity against God and His grace (a supposition which, without good evidence, you should be very unwilling to admit), he is a more proper object of your compassion than of your anger. Alas! 'he knows not what he does.' But you know who has made you to differ. If God, in His sovereign pleasure, had so appointed, you might have been as he is now, and he, instead of you, might have been set for the defence of the Gospel. You were both equally blind by nature.

If you attend to this, you will not reproach or hate him, because the Lord has been pleased to open your eyes, and not his. Of all people who engage in controversy, we, who are called Calvinists, are most expressly bound by our own principles to the exercise of gentleness and moderation...Our part is not to strive but in meekness to instruct those who oppose, 'if peradventure God will give them repentance to the acknowledgement of the truth.'" -- John Newton, author of the hymn, "Amazing Grace."

Consider yourself instructed.

You’re a funny guy.

In the religion forum, we preach the destrucion of other peoples’ churches. Nice.

Obviously you have no bona fides, so don’t bother me.

Authoritarian?

No, that would be the guy who thinks something has been “PROVEN” on this forum “HUNDREDS OF TIMES” and thinks by saying it, that it is so.

No one could possibly disagree with someone so desperately hungry to be right and have everyone comply.

What a joke....

Oh well......I know better to get involved in theological discussions with Romans. It always ends up where you get frustrated by their inability to debate from scripture. Then they start with the personal insults and everything quickly degenerates into mudslinging.

This is one of the reasons I tend to avoid these encounters, and definitely avoid them with certain individual posters. You cannot win an argument with "The change it as you go along, Church".....cause they'll just change it again!

Let me debate a Protestant anytime. It helps keep me sharp and I do learn a bit from them...... some of them! LOL

Thank you Sister for letting me know Nabber was doing their usual stuff.

Calling names behind ones back.

I take this action as indicative of his ilk.

They claim to be Christians,
however never display the Chesed
(lovingkindness) of Yah'shua.

One has to wonder.

Do not let this thread become "about" individual Freepers. That is also a form of "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

Time to show your bona fides. In other words, “credentials, background, or documentation of a person’s identity”.

Not your first/last name, just your particulars.

Something besides, “Hey, I read the Bible.”
