Where Interfaithism Has Led You

[Winchester]

And the point?

I believe we were warned about this many years ago.

By a Pope.

It's not doctrinal, it's a presentation problem.

And let's be clear here. I grew up in an Independent Baptist family. My dad was a youth pastor. I've been IFB most of my life. In the IFB circles I've grown up in, the IFB churches I've visited, etc, let's be perfectly honest, and say that most IFB's don't know anything about theology. You know what they know about? Standards. And that's about it. And before anybody jumps on me for saying anything like that, technically I'm still a member of an IFB church, so I can make that observation. I've been to IFB colleges. I've been in IFB churches. I know the IFB movement like the back of my hand.[/quote]

So what happened to you? Most IFB churches teach the truth about Rome being the counterfeit church in Revelation. Sounds like you ignored everything you were taught, ran off to college and then started going with the world and its "theology", after all there's more worldly status in being an euridite theologian friendly with Rome, then in being a Christian who makes a stand for Biblical seperation. Also just because you were RAISED IFB, doesnt mean you really ever become born again or made the faith your own.

By the way when people ask what I am, I say Christian first, many churches are falling away and in there I include baptists who have joined with the world system. They do exist. What is interesting about you as a Baptist on this board, is I have not seen you stand up for any of the Christian faith, but come from the premise that Catholics are Christian too. {Dont see you posting against any doctrines you consider false or telling Catholics you must be born again} Honestly I really had no way to tell you apart from the Catholics here except perhaps for your name.

Try arguing something like, oh, I dunno...Doctrine maybe? It will serve you better, and will be more reflective upon Christ if you argue in charity and on valid points.[/quote]

Why would I follow the Catholic paperwork requirement, who cares what the official doctrines are if millions are being led to the antichrist?

Unlike you who has totally sold out, Im going to tell these Catholics the truth.

We're still waiting for you to start. Distorting the teachings of the Church and trying to paint a picture of confused teachings is not truth. Bearing false witness against those you disagree with is your truth.

Whose truth? Your truth, the truth of the guy who sits next to you in the pew (or does your church forbid pews as a Catholic invention) or the truth of the church down the street?

If you cannot tell the difference beween the Kabba god Allah, and YHWH, we have openings in our third grade sunday school program. Just call it "REMEDIAL RCIA"!

Actually, you just seem to insult, post abuses of theology, add more insults rather than actual cogent arguments (if you respond at all,) then throw some Bible quote, insult some more, add zero cogent arguments, insult, assume, deride, Lie, slander.

Then you disappear.

Then you create other posts.

You're not telling us anything we don't know. We know there are corrupt people within the Catholic Church. The Bible says you cannot separate the weeds from the wheat. We know they teach false or dangerous things. These things are not in the Depositum Fidei (and don't bother with the red herring.) Those led astray in good faith I believe we can trust to the Mercy of God, in addition to proclaiming what the Church truly teaches. Those who teach falsely we can also trust to God. We don't have to follow erroneous teachigns--only the correct ones. Jesus told people this in the Bible. Find it, Budge.

Budge-

Was that supposed to hurt our feelings?

The heart is a deceitful thing.

Why not consider the FACT that you have departed from the basics of Christianity in the acceptance of false gods {demons} of other religions?

[Winchester]

Can you repeat our argument to us?

[Guest T-Bone]

Ummm....because I haven't?

The problem of course, its just your little personal version of the truth, and carries no more weight than anyone else private interpretation.
The difference is NewReformation has a 100 % better chance of getting points across than you ever will because of your cut and paste presentation of totally irrelevant items in a rude and condescending manner. Your version of christianity from the deformed KJV has no basis of authority, no history over 500 years or so, and is just another group doing their own thing. You have yet to show any reason why anyone should perfer your private opinions over the teachings of 2000 year old Catholic Church.

[Budge]

From what Ive seen New Reformation agrees with you folks on 99% of everything.

I'd like to pose a situation to you. Let's say that you are a follower of St. Paul and you see Hymenaeus, claiming to be a Christian and a follower of St. Paul, going around and speaking out against the faith. A younger Christian approaches you and tells you that because you follow St. Paul, you, like Hymenaeus, must believe in falsehoods. You then correct him, claiming that Hymenaeus really isn't a follower of St. Paul or even of Christ, but he refuses to listen to you. He insists that you must be spreading heresy as well. You go to show him a scroll you happen to be carrying from St. Paul to one of the Churches, a letter which clearly shows that you are following St. Paul. The young man says to you, "who cares? Why should I pay any attention to what St. Paul has to say, when you Paulines are against Christ?" Yet, there you are, a true believer following Christ, and your life conforms to the things written in St. Paul's letter...the very letter you carry. Now, one of two things happens:

1. The young man accepts the letter from St. Paul as authentic and says that you are not following it (even though it's clear that you are) because you're one of those St. Paul followers.

2. The young man rejects the letter's authenticity, citing your failure to follow it.

If he does the first, then he is being quite illogical. He's accepting the letter, he's accepting St. Paul, but he's rejecting all who claim to follow St. Paul because not all of them really are...he's even rejecting those who he can clearly see are following St. Paul. Well, that's really just assuming that one person is guilty by virtue of association with another person, while upholding the means of that association as a good thing in and of itself.

If he does the second, then he is effectively saying that if St. Paul's words aren't being followed, then they must not be true. That, of course, isn't logical, because we know for certain that St. Paul wasn't always followed by those who claimed to follow him.

You are doing the same thing with the Church's teachings. We are here. We have faith and we have doctrines. You see from our prayer, from our charity, from our patience with you, etc. that this is good fruit. Yet, because we have these doctrines, you reject us and the doctrines themselves. The reason for that? You say that the fruit of some others who claim to follow those doctrines is bad. Well, that's true. However, there is a huge difference between claiming to follow something and actually following it.

This goes to the root of the problem. In a debate, you should give the opponent the benefit of the doubt when they state what they believe. You can't tell another person what they believe. You, however, do that all the time. You say that we believe something that is wrong, we clarify so that you should know that we don't believe that, and then you continue as before, saying that we believe it. In short, you are dishonest.
