I have to laugh every single time the Queen of dodge makes this or a similar comment. Is it mandatory for prots to suffer from memory loss?

So sad
Not Philosophy. Just plain old Hermeneutics .
Several people of differing faiths here tried to explain the difference of the Old and New Covenant but that is too hard for a catholic to understand I guess
“Whether your prayers are answered does not depend on paying to publish. It’s up to you to be full of faith and truly open to receiving God’s message. However, if you are serious about reaching the largest number of people with your testimony, and truly encouraging devotion to St. Jude, we believe publishing on this website is a great way to do it!”
And it’s only TEN DOLLARS! Those Saint Judaisers are crafty AND not greedy, I tell ya!
Nice try, You can’t write and blame it on my comprehension. typical liberal prot.
Here is a more detailed response as to why I believe that the majority of Protestants do not attend a regular bible study, adult classes or small groups.
From:

Q: How many people go to church each Sunday?
A: For years, the Gallup Research Organization has come up with a consistent figure — 40 percent of all Americans, or roughly 118 million people, who said they attended worship on the previous weekend. Recently, sociologists of religion have questioned that figure, saying Americans tend to exaggerate how often they attend. By actually counting the number of people who showed up at representative sample of churches, two researchers, Kirk Hadaway and Penny Marler found that only 20.4 percent of the population, or half the Gallup figure, attended church each weekend.
As added proof for the accuracy of this smaller percentage of churchgoers, if 20.4% of Americans (approximately 63 million in 2010) attended the nation’s 350,000 congregations weekly then the average attendance would be 180 people per congregation which is almost exactly the figure that numerous research studies have found.
So 40% of all Americans attend a church. Just working off of that figure, further research as stated above, shows that roughly half of all Christians actually go to church. Even if every single one of those Christians attended an adult class in addition to the worship service, the split would be close to 50/50. But, from my observations an even smaller percentage (roughly 20 percent) attend anything beyond the basic worship service.
Actually if you look at virtually everyone on the FR that makes the wild claim of being ex-Catholic, that is exactly what you see. almost everyone of you comes up with these wild stories about worshiping this that or the other thing, but when we try to pin you down as to who taught you this malarkey, where and when. we get the dodge of "Well you know it is hard to say..."
It is hard to say because it never happened.
Since I didn't do this every thing after it is void. Checkmate.
Feel free to have the last word.
You comment in post 85 was this.....This is typically used to provide additional consideration of the Old Testament as many Protestants tend to view the OT as a bunch of stories and songs but with very little relevance to the NT.
And attendance at Bible studies and/or small groups is not relevant to that subject, nor does it tell anyone HOW you KNOW how "many Protestants" view the OT as having little relevance to the NT.
If you know that something it "typical" then explain how you know that or how you arrived at that conclusion.
see post 145
The statement does sound dismissive and arrogant, like it comes more from pride (which is a hydra, like fear). There are surely plenty of backsliding Christians who have not forgotten what they learned in more zealous days.
When people leave churches it may be because they move away and have difficulty finding another church they like, or there may be personality conflicts which are not well resolved. People don’t generally stop going because they stop loving God or wanting to learn about Him.
I don’t CARE about why the majority of Protestants don’t attend Bible study or small group.
That’s not what I was questioning. The question was what it had to do with your claim that “many Protestants tend to view the OT as a bunch of stories and songs but with very little relevance to the NT.”
So please answer the question instead of evading it.
How do you know that “many Protestants tend to view the OT as a bunch of stories and songs but with very little relevance to the NT.”????????
What led you to that conclusion? How do you know what they are thinking? Did you interview them? Have you asked them personally and had them tell you that they don’t see the OT as much more than a bunch of stories and songs with very little relevance to the NT??????
I think it is called:
Easy Believism.
When we can press some buttons to cook our food, press another to call our kin; press 3 of them to Call for HELP! then it should be similar to save our souls; right?
At least Rome makes it’s new member_wannabes sit thru hours of Catechism classes.
Many protestant churches do something similar for those who wish to become ‘members’.
We are fat, rich, and dumb.
Sheep without a Shepard.
We do NOT fear GOD or man, no matter what the bluster over ISIS is right now.
Yeah; I'll bet!

Prove it.
Stop evading the question.
MM did I get those in close to the right order?
Did I get the impatient tone correct?
Do you CRINGE every time the King of Rome makes a public statement; too?
