False; that is your second personal attack

Wrong: Inferring that i was one of those (why mention them unless it applies to me?) who were "warned by others they are starting down the path of heresy" by rejecting MOG, and thus "as an alternative you seem to suggest using the Greek word Theotokos" is inferring that alleged fear was my motive. Yet i have made clear that rejecting the Mother of Deity aspect due to what its misleading denotation does not equate to heresy, but instead Caths are often guilty of that in the totality of their contextual usage of MOG. .

In addition, A criticizing me as one who should have paid attention and cared about the drift towards heresy is saying i not only did not pay attention but did not care, the latter of which means you know my motive for lack of attention.

But my motive remarks were only an aside in response to your resorting to such.

I understand our protestant urge to prevent Mary from being worshipped, but I really have no problem with her carrying from the moment of conception both the divine and the human in the person of Jesus Christ."

Yes, I do have an "urge" to prevent Mary from being worshiped, even if you seem to denigrate that, and does not equate to having a problem with her carrying from the moment of conception both the divine and the human in the person of Jesus Christ.

There is no "either or" here, which is a false dilemma, one which is a false argument and simply more sophistry, which dissuades further attempts at reasonable exchange.

You are so wrong; I had assumed you were one of the Protestants that believed in the major historical doctrines of Christianity, so no, I actually expected you to take some responsibility to warn your fellow Protestants against the heresy of denying the Holy Trinity.

In addition, A criticizing me as one who should have paid attention and cared about the drift towards heresy is saying i not only did not pay attention but did not care, the latter of which means you know my motive for lack of attention.

It is occurring right under your nose, so to speak. Why do you not comment on, and correct, your fellow Protestants' doctrinal errors ? This is the Achilles' Heel of the Protestants.

  1. Do you believe that Jesus Christ is God the Son, and not just the Son of God (that is a yes or no question BTW) ?
  2. If so, why do you not correct them ?
