Why is there so much RC posting allowed in Semper Reformanda?

As I go through the threads on this forum I notice there are lots of posts by RC's.

 

[caitlincares]

I have noticed that too.

They want to be us. JOKE

If you're interested, I was you, for seven years. If you came over, to my house, you would see all sorts of Calvinist books on my shelves. One of my favorite bibles is still RC Sprouls New Geneva Study Bible

Would you rather us not visit, even in a non argumenative way?

Where does evangelism start? The Wesleyans don't mind us visiting there? What's up with that?

All sorts of reasons, that I won't go into here. I'm still in the process actually. I guess you could say on paper, I'm still protestant.

That's my point. The way CF is set up each "denomination" (for lack of a better term) has its own "safe haven" where members can go and talk amongst themselves about their faith.

I wouldn't think to go in OBOB and bother you guys over there because that has been set up especially for Catholics.

The General Theology forum is the place for cross-denominational interaction.

We love company in OBOB, as long as it's not argumentative. Many folks add to the discussions and it's welcomed. I've tried to be a positive presence, when I've visited here, which has been very little till the "Would Calvin be Banned" thread started. I said I personally wouldn't be offended with his comments, even though they were a bit derogatory toward the Catholic Church. His tone wasn't hateful, but direct. I've also recommended RC Sprouls books and provided links to his website for listening to his radio broadcasts. I try to display the same respect that we would expect over there.

I'd be happy to visit anytime, Captain_Scott. Sometimes it takes me a bit to get back, if I'm at work and get busy.

I believe it is proselyting .
But as Calvinists we believe the elect are predestined. So in the long run it does not really matter.
I would say I think it would not be allowed anywhere else or by anyone else on CF

"Come to OBOB" that only allows one position,you see that "invitation" all the time . But all you will get or hear is one side of the story, there can be no disagreement, no matter how mild or polite.

Then come to SR and have every doctrine ot quote "corrected' here by Catholics . It would be funny if it was not pathetic .

How many converts from the Protestant ranks have occurred on CF? The evangelization is very plain to see.

The Wesleyans do not have a reformation history. They are not protestants , the only thing they protested was the reformation doctrine. So maybe they do not mind some proselytizing there.

I came out of Rome . There was a time when my house was loaded with Catholic material , books and records. Then the Son set me free !! He that the Son sets free is free indeed

I have sensed the same thing since I became a member of CF. In my opinion, the obsessive need to troll and correct flows from the experience of being in a church that has a history of 'outside the church there is no salvation'. They just cannot understand how one could have a conversion experience that leads OUT instead of into their church. They attribute most if not all conversions out, to misunderstanding, ignorance, or poor catechetical instruction. Now that, I find pathetic.

I have no interest in proselytizing you. My prayer for you would be that you be the best Calvinist you can be, that Christ would be glorified by your life. I'm glad your in a group you feel confidence in. It's great having the Semper Reformanda - Reformed on CF, representing Calvinism.

When visiting "your ground", I think that only your, or the Calvinist, view should be upheld. As a visitor to your forum, you are free to proselytizing me, and not the other way around. Your right, it's the same in OBOB. Only the Catholic view should be upheld there. There are many non-Catholics that come to visit, add insight, and ask questions.

I have no interest in proselytizing the Wesleyans either and I certainly hope they have never felt that I was, for I have really enjoyed my time there. My entire family is Wesleyan and I have a great respect for their history, especially for John Wesley himself. I was a bit of a rebel in leaving to become Presbyterian.

I pray that we relate to each other in love, personifying the motto CF, as a united Christian body.

Ksen, as long as no rules are violated, why do you have a problem with Catholics posting in this forum?

 

[Carrye]

I haven't posted in here very often, but I find your forum one of the more friendly to Catholicism, and I personally appreciate that. I also feel like I have more in common with many of your beliefs than I do with those of other forums. I am happy to respectfully disagree with others so as to learn and share ideas. It's often less about the disagreement and more about the manner in which the discussion was undertaken. I like popping in to say hi.

 

[BronxBriar]

Thanks for the icy cold welcome...

NO problem, we keep the mugs frosty cold in dry ice....what do you use?

You hit the nail on the head. and this part, "the obsessive need to troll and correct" is certainly correct and the root of many a problem here.

I try to run such a tight ship that I have had my Reformed brethren call me a "sell out' "wimp Christian" and "brainwashed". Yet I rarely have a chance to mod this forum because many RC members feel free to do it for me.

I wonder what would happen if some of us went to OBOB and "politely corrected" them?
