“Your obvious personal attack on whether I drink or not is meant to impugn my argument, but it isn’t fooling anyone. I don’t drink. You?”
I didn’t ask if you drink. I asked if you were drunk. See the difference? Also, you had no argument. You made a strange, off-the-wall comment. Hence, the question: “Are you drunk?”
“And again, you deliberately left out this portion of my post, and put the latter part in quotes as if to imply that was all that I said.”
No. I posted what I was commenting upon. Your word choice of “deliberately” and “imply” can only be taken as “mind reading” on your part.
“According to Francis, Catholics and Muslims worship the same God.”
According to Muslims, Jews and Christians all profess to worship the God of Abraham. If you’re a Christian, that includes you - unless you’re denying you worship the God of Abraham.
“I asked you why, and you didn’t answer.”
If you’re asking why I posted only two out of three of the sentences you posted, I did answer your question in post #17 so why are you claiming I didn’t answer it when I did?
“I know why. It is too damaging to your argument to admit the truth that Francis said Catholics and Muslims worship the same God.”
What argument? I commented on your last two sentences. You have no argument. You made no argument. I made no argument about your first sentence. You failed to provide any evidence for what you claimed in those two last sentences. Why did you fail to provide that evidence? Will you continue to fail to provide that evidence? Sure looks like it.
I will not enter a mosque.
I view it as simply Pope Francis’s opinion.
Nothing more than SkyPilot’s opinion.
When I go to the National Shrine website, and it does have a vitural tour, that chapel for some reason is not listed. I have to look it up in reference to the Maronite links.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Matthew 23:9
Does that indicate you grew up in a home without a father ?
Do you think people who convince themselves that all their sins, past, present, and future, are already forgiven have no fear of bearing false witness against their neighbor, no conscience as it were ?
Bearing false witness? Explain when I did that. Perhaps it is you who accuse others falsely,? And Christ is the only way. See my tag line. Nothing else is required. What sacraments did the thief on the cross next to Jesus complete? What requirements did he fulfill, other than asking Christ to redeem him? Moreover, there is only One who deserves the title of Holy Father. And He is in heaven, the Great I Am.
There is a " To 6" in my post.
You wrote: "So next time just walk into a mosque instead of a church. Francis says it’s all the same, so Catholics should obey their pope.."
By which spirit did you write that ?
Perhaps it is you who accuse others falsely,?
Perhaps ? Does that mean you don't know but throw that at me anyway ? Or is that an accusation against me you stand behind ?
And Christ is the only way. See my tag line. Nothing else is required. What sacraments did the thief on the cross next to Jesus complete? What requirements did he fulfill, other than asking Christ to redeem him? Moreover, there is only One who deserves the title of Holy Father. And He is in heaven, the Great I Am. And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

boldness mine
These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates: And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD.
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Are you so drunk that you forget that Francis the talking whatever said that Muslims worship the same God (as do 'Catholics', it was understood in context) or are you just back to playing the usual pathetic word games while you otherwise engage in personal attacks?
You should be banned from FR for be a serial disruptor who simply will not abide by the rules.
Jim, this guy simply has to go. It's beyond time.
Sorry to bother you with this. But this has long been a problem.
There's no telling how many people have gotten fed up with the antics of the likes of vladi over the years, and have simply abandoned this site permanently.
Examples were made a a few troublemakers who picked on Catholicism. Isn't it about time that a few examples be made out of those who should know better than to make things personal -- but simply refuse (or are unable to) refrain from doing that very thing -- on a regular basis?
If there's no telling how many, why do you imagine there are any ? Have you simply abandoned this site permanently ? Apparently not.
And this is what concerns some? Really? You’re trying to ban a poster, Vlad because of what?
OMG some of you people are morons.
Though this not my primary motivation,
try looking at it this way;
It would help the general cause of Catholicism on FR.
No it wouldn’t.
I’ll just go on record, not that it means a damn thing, that banning this poster is stupid. IMO
Please give us the hot link to substantiate that statement.
In your opinion.
Ok. You're entitled to that.
I'll say no more "stupid" than banning Alex Murphy.
It would be less so, being more justified.
Whatever.
