AYE AYE.
well that’s what I said, Winning the Future
Well, what the heck are you doing asking this on OUR caucus thread???!!! (Just kidding) :o)
It's the difference between *churchianity* and Christianity.
I like to read books like The People Time Forgot by Alice Gibbons or The Peace Child by Don Richardson. It gives a wonderful picture of just what churches look like when unencumbered with programs and committees.
we respect your caucus threads, which incidentally seem to have at the most 3 or 4 posts, so please respect ours.
that’s personal and uncalled for
My sense is that denominational distinctions amongst Protestants are not as important as they once used to be.
Since there’s more recognition of the unity we have in salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone, there’s more room for those things which are *disputable* (Romans 14)
Of course, it seems that certain factions would like to keep fueling the fires of denominationalism for their own ends, but I think that most folks just aren’t interested in being put at the throats of other believers.
If they are invited to a Caucus thread by the members of the caucus, I understand that they don’t have to avoid it.
I don’t recall any non-Catholic pinging the Catholics to join this thread.
Protestant is a valid caucus designation.

On this Protestant Caucus thread, your tagline is out of place.
Absolutely. There are still some problem areas, but for the essentials, there is generally unity. There are always distinctives; but if it doesn't impugn salvation by grace alone through faith alone, given to us by God and relying on no merit of our own, then we can always get along.
:D

They are modalists.. that is a heresy .. sorry you may love them but they have a different Jesus
To be a Christian the Trinity is not optional
I understand your perspective.
For a number of RC’s . . .
harsh, pointedly specifically personal, relentless, unwarranted, untrue, inaccurate, false, lying, vicious, vengeful, bitter, spiteful EXTREMELY PERSONAL attacks
are the only
STOCK IN TRADE
some seem interested in demonstrating, sharing, spewing, inflicting on FR.
I think of it somewhat like . . . going to a wedding buffet . . . and spreading DRANO on all the food as a garnish.
Thankfully, discerning folks will be increasingly quick to note the fruit of such tortured souls and their gritchy, prickly, spiteful postings.
At some point, the system itself may get enough fed up with them to put a screeching halt to such hideousness.
