“I don’t know if he’s learning more truth by joining the RCC. But he’s certainly learning more man-made tradition. A LOT more.”

No, he realizes that Protestantism is a man-made tradition. That’s why it only came about in the 16th century.

“Like bowing to statues, and praying to those asleep in Christ. Learning fables, such as Mary being sinless, and not having other children after the birth of Jesus.”

Wow, a little laundry list of things Protestants often get wrong. By the way, do you know that many Protestants used to believe Jesus was an only child? http://socrates58.blogspot.com/2010/06/john-calvins-belief-in-perpetual.html

“You folks toss out more proofs of the scripture than Obama does of the Constitution. But y’all put on a real big show of pagentry.”

Well, at least we can spell the word pageantry. Products of Government Schools often struggle with such basics.

“That worked for a vain protestant friend of my wife over 30 yrs ago. She had no spiritual desire in her change of church, she was just so impressed by “the pagentry of it all”. No profound love of God. No changed life. Just a love of vanity, and she remains the same vain person to this day.”

Well, that’s not the case with my friend.

Which is worse.....man-made traditions multiplying because of the improvements in mechanical printing, or the adding of man-made traditions (by force or otherwise) over a much longer period of time?

Two wrongs don’t make a right.

LOL! Actually, I was a champion speller in grade school, back in the early sixties, when the small town public schools still taught reading, writing, and arithmetic.

I’m sixty now, and have forgotten a few things. But, I can still arc weld upside down, drive an 18 wheeler like I’m wearing it (off today, or I wouldn’t be posting), and MOST importantly, by the grace of God and the ‘Sword of the Spirit’, take you to school in a Godhead debate.
