If the Protestants Catholics here did not say untrue, malicious, and downright despicable things about Catholicism Protestantism and Catholics Protestants, these threads would not exist.
And actually, this thread in itself is an attack on Protestantism. For all the claims of not *Prot bashing* that Catholics make, threads like this belie that claim.
Only an attempt to disrupt the thread and get it locked. The same tactic has been used by the same poster on previous threads.
“If the Catholics here did not say untrue, malicious, and downright despicable things about Protestantism and Protestants, these threads would not exist.”
Your statement is false. Mine was true.
“And actually, this thread in itself is an attack on Protestantism.”
Even if that were true, which it isn’t, it is within the rules because it addresses Protestantism and not any specific FR Protestant.
So maybe, as I’ve said all along, it is FR’s fang and claw protestant squad who have thin skin.
Well, truthfully, the “maybe” can be dropped without danger of wandering into error.
“For all the claims of not *Prot bashing* that Catholics make, threads like this belie that claim.”
Untrue, by forum rules. Untrue, on logical grounds. Just simply untrue. This article discusses history and theology, specifically the history of the abbreviation of the Holy Scripture by early Protestants several hundred years ago. It expresses disagreement with things that were done, but constitutes “bashing” in no way.
I believe that Luther and other early Protestants erred when they subtracted books from the Bible. If we apply the standard expressed your note, that would have to be seen as “Prot bashing.” But it is no such thing. It is a mild expression of a theological belief. And there we have it. The thin skins of the fang and claw squad will tolerate no expression of dissent, however civil, however mild.
If you think this article constitutes “bashing,” it is you who should be receiving the patronizing recommendations that you stay off open forums.
And if the word “Prot” is a slur, rather than just an abbreviation in this abbreviation-prone medium, why do you use it?
And to narrow it down even more, this thread is an attack on Christians, and by extension, Christianity and the Bible
