Smorgasbord, ping!
When the devil keeps pushing you, you’re probably standing on his toes.
Anyone read the book “Disinformation” by Pace pa & Rychlak?
Bill forgot the FR anti-Catholic link. <sarcasm off.
I don’t know why I get sucked into those debates, but sometimes I just end up in the middle of them. A thread last night is the perfect example. The mods pulled one of my posts because I apparently made it personal. Don’t even get me started on the Protestants making it personal without getting posts pulled, but I digress. The post that was pulled was a link to another another thread where a “cool” anti-Catholic made very mean comments about Catholic children. Anti-Christian comments is more like it. It just really angers me and I’m Protestant!
God bless you. I sense you are not far from the Lord.
Ditto
God bless you.
