>>>Ya gotta love the irony of somebody posting a comment about fallacious reasoning, that has fallacious reasoning.<<<
You RCs don't seem to understand that Free Republic is a discussion board, not a flashing billboard. When one person makes a statement and another person asks a question or challenges that statement, it is polite and proper to respond directly to the question or challenge if it is on-topic - its called a discussion. Instead Steelfish (and other RCs) just blinks on and off with the same old drivel, never actually dealing with any questions or challenges as if one answer answers everything. It is arrogant and insulting behavior that is indeed "fallacious reasoning". But what is even more incredible is that you RCs don't seem to see that it is self-defeating, childish behavior.
If my reasoning on the canonicity of James is fallacious, show me how it is fallacious. Do you not care for my soul? Win me over. Isn't that what you are supposed to do? Why do you instead insult me and harden me against the RC church?
If my reasoning on the bride of Christ is fallacious, show me how it is fallacious. Do you not wish those who are lurking this thread to be won over to your side? Is it not your duty to win over their souls to your "one true church"? You are letting your church down horribly.
Let's have a discussion instead of you simply lecturing me with the same-old, same-old over and over again while never addressing my questions and challenges (or anyone else's). Do you really not care enough to have a real discussion and prove your position as correct? I do not see you as a lost cause, so I will try to win you and other readers of this thread over to my side. Will you not honestly try to win me and readers over to your side? Or is it only your desire to drive away those who are not already on your side? Because, if that is your desire, you are certainly doing a good job of it. Bravo!
Wrong thread. You keep beating the same drum over and over and very few (if any) address this issue because this is the Roman Catholicism: The One True Church? thread. I think everyone understands you have a Jihad against James and if you wish for anybody to respond, I would gently suggest starting your own thread.
Thanks in advance
best wishes
