Patterns repeat for spiritual/anti-spiritual reasons. That is why they keep cropping up in religious systems, which are at the lead of the attack zone, therefore they are the FIRST to fall.
I don't understand. What 'things'...and what does this have to do with whether Cassia's church practices open communion or close communion??
He hasn't cast me or others aside. Debate on viewpoints doesn't exactly equate to casting off debating points.No believer is free to slander others here. Why do you listen to him when he casts you aside and out of the church???
I never suggested that you weren't sufficiently polite. I just said that your "take" on her church's policy appeared to be the same one as your church takes. There's no other judgment involved in that.You've had your chance. I was being very polite.
Fair enough. I thought it was worth asking if you would please clarify what you meant by this comment ("I suppose you guys don't think these things always existed") since I can't figure what it refers to. But you have no obligation to oblige, I agree.And now, I don't want to talk to you anymore.
Squint I have seen you reject Protestants posts merely for not adhering to your prefered way... so let's not leave the exclusiveness laying with one camp ... some have enemies withinYou apparently missed that part. I'd suggest it was by choice on your part, as usual.
