true.... although you have the option of not posting in a thread if you feel it would be a harrowing experience.

Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
true.... although you have the option of not posting in a thread if you feel it would be a harrowing experience.which is why OBOB would have been better. You could have had a meaningful conversation and spared Theresa myself and others from being called rude, faithless, arrogant and whatever else.
addressed, yes, but not satisfactorily, I think. Whether or not the error is innocous or not, Mary teaching scripture to Jesus is error. It would not happen.
When by our actions, we model what the scriptures teach, to our children; are we not infact teaching them scripture?
Being called idol worshippers, faithless, rude, arrogant has been harrowing for us. I still don't understand why you want to have a conversation like this if all you want is answers. I don't understand what benefit you think it going to servetrue.... although you have the option of not posting in a thread if you feel it would be a harrowing experience.
agreed. Again, I'm not responsible for others actions, only my own.Really, we shouldn't be forced to avoid threads because they might be "harrowing" experiences at a Christian site UB. . . Chrsitian charity should see to it that this shouldn't be a concern . . . .
Unfortunately, it is . . . .

I beg to differ. my arm not being twisted is nither here nor there. I am of the opinion that Uphill open threads all the time specific about Catholicism and he knows how they will turn out.No, he's right. No one is twisting your arm to be here nor on these threads.
There are some Protestant bashing threads, and I just stay out of them. I may give one or two opinions in some, but I'm not gonna stay for 500 or more posts. I feel it's their problem and their ignorance or whatever it may be.
Catholics are hardly the only ones being hurled stupid words.
Use the report button or don't answer. That's what I am learning to do.
I gave a SPECIFIC reason why I do not post in OBOB. OBOB does not brook ANY discussion about what they believe. They give you THEIR answer, pat you on the head and send you on your way. I've tried it.I beg to differ. my arm not being twisted is nither here nor there. I am of the opinion that Uphill open threads all the time specific about Catholicism and he knows how they will turn out.
He seeks to debate just us, He really doesn't want answers.
I think it would be better if he would just come clean and admit that.
If he wanted answers and not everyone to attack our beliefs and practices, he would ask these question in OBOB.

The problem with simply not visiting threads where your faith is attacked is that many of them willingly bear false witness. This affects every member of the faith being attacked as more people are attracted to the anti-_____ sentiment and they further spread that meme throughout the internet and IRL. The plethora of anti-Apostolic sites that spew hatred and lies is proof of this. I'm sure the corrollary to this also occurs, and is just as un-Christian if it is perpetrated against evangelicals, Calvinists (c.f. Dave Hunt), Anglicans et. al.
However, I've seen Orthodoxy and Catholic bear false witness about the Protestant faith and I've called them on it too, and even some mods.
Hey Oblio, a pleasure as always!Personally, I rarely if ever comment on my previous faith. It is a well known fact of human nature that we tend to malign that which we have left behind. Doing this reinforces our decision and validates it. It is also common amongst those who have conquered an addiction (witness ex-smokers). One can almost without exception pick out an ex-Catholic (or ex-Protestant) by the rhetoric they spew when slamming their former faith.
I think if there was a rule that no one could speak of their former faith, GT (and CF) would be a better place.
of what value would be redemption, if the past did not exist?Concerning my life, that is a scary thought!
We are to put off the old and daily, deny self, pick up cross, and follow Him. Continuously being transformed into the Image of our Creator.
Love,
Christina

Does our past experience not modify our future responses?
