Luther was not being a heretic when he spoke of Mary, much as Tertullian was no heretic till he also broke with the Church.

The point is not that I myself considered Luther a heretic, but that as he is accused of having his own private interpretation (which is the subject matter of the cereal box cartoon), such was being employed towards myself for offering some counterpoint to Luther's own "ponderings", which though he be otherwise labeled a heretic by Roman Catholics --- we are supposed to take to heart as gospel truth, or accept as some refutation of what I've been saying here...

If you can't see that, or must insist that Luther and others be possibly correct upon occassion (but not always) it also follows that I could be quite correct in that which I myself am espousing, but which is dismissed without or before examination.

otherwise, the rude cartoon is just so much more fingers in the ears, la-la-lah, I can't hear you type of comment, or else some form of dismissal based upon personality, rather than the subject matter and ideas under discussion, for you yourself have made the distinction that Luther was in your own eyes, correct in part.

It is as if it not be dared to consider what such as myself may be talking about, but at the same moment I myself must accept what this person (Luther), otherwise labeled to be heretical by Roman Catholics, is saying at one juncture, while also at the very same instant be myself subjected to some form of rebuttal for allegedly doing as he is said to have done.

There is far too much mixed-message special pleadings which must be incorporated by the presenter of the presentation, to have the same sets of logic sought to apply towards myself, not apply in similar measurement to even their own argument of dismissal towards myself, all of which makes the presentation of the cereal box cartoon specious, for it relies upon the very sort of special pleading you bring, to not have it simply blow up in the face of the presenter, and yourself also, since you decided to chime in concerning it.


meep, meep to you, my FRiend
