    And why Does the word "evangelical" have such a negative connotation? Isn't it the Christian's duty to spread the good news(Gospel)?

    I never thought it did before...
    It doesn't.
    Evangelicals are part of the Body of Christ as are all those baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

    Of course it is.

    So, you believe that you can mount a personal attack on a little weak servant instead of posting any argument on the subject, - and nobody will notice that and you will get away with that?

    Catholic beliefs are self –destructive and self –defiant. I haven't even moved my pinky. Stop it, please. Stop cutting yourself. Please. I beg you.

    Fundamentalist/Evangelical Protestants seem to always be the Chick reading, protestants who slander the church more then any other group of Protestants. They are the ones I see always saying we worship Mary and pray to "dead" saints/ worship "dead" saints. They say the Pope is the Anti-Christ and the RC is the "Whore of Babylon".

    Though their stupidity is so astonishing. Such as the "proof" they give of these accusations.

    Like showing the Pope with the upside down cross, and saying he is anti-Christ because of that. Yet if they would simply look past the recent adaption of the upsidedown cross, being used as satanic, they would know it represented St. Peter's martyrdom.

    Not saying all evengelical protestants are like that. Just some of them act like that and give the rest a bad name. Especially the"Evangelical KJV-onlyist."

    How ironic!

    You have been the one throwing personal attacks on Catholics, ever since you started posting.

    Hell, you add a personal attack in every (*)(*)(*)(*) post of yours

    lol the Jews changed the OT after the Church was using the OT with the "apocrypha"

    No wonder protestants try to change and corrupt the church to suit themselves, just like the rabbis

    No, the Jews of Israel never accepted the Aporyphal books as Scripture.

    Irony coming from a poster who posts farts as an argument and appeals to Hell. http://www.politicalforum.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=4385479

    Look Ladies and Gents, Catholics accept that they can mount no argument but a massive barrage of personal attacks. And they excuse themselves because in their twisted minds I started … I posted the Ops... and I continued…

    Do I need to submit more proof that Catholics are not different from atheists? They attack other Xns with most intellectual arguments such as http://www.politicalforum.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=4385479
    http://www.politicalforum.com/religion/203499-bible-protestants-25.html#post4383206 http://www.politicalforum.com/religion/203499-bible-protestants-14.html#post4376734 http://www.politicalforum.com/religion/203544-why-im-catholic-7.html#post4371510 http://www.politicalforum.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=4372175
    http://www.politicalforum.com/religion/203499-bible-protestants-25.html#post4384023
    and on and on and on.
    Then they claim that they are under attack... and get together to attack "back". What a vicious circle, vicious creatures!

    They exhibit the same mentality as atheists, they are equally delusional. They equally care not about basic decency, basic honesty, I am not even mentioning basic respect for those who are slightly different from them. But still they claim they may talk about higher matters. As well as with atheists one shouldn’t even feel like mentioning or referring to Thee when countering vicious attacks by such an ungodly group of individuals.

    Any unbias observer can see that atheists do exactly the same as Catholics do, when they are at the wall they use the same winning argument, - they pull their pants down, turn around, bend and produce a fart and a giggle. Since you are accepting that you did fart any unbias observer can see the Catholics have mental problems when they take an offense in me pointing to the fact that Catholics submit farts as arguments.

    And the only argument you can make is that Catholics are mentally blah blah blah.

    I would have mentioned that but instead I attacked the false premise that OT book canonicity hinges on being quoted in the New Testament. If that were the case, then many books would fail. Because the premise is false, I didn't see the need to indulge the argument.

    Yep. I kinda noticed he's a one trick pony.

    Im not sure where you are speaking of.

    If however reference was made to Maccabees, it does not make Maccabees inspired Scripture. Paul referenced pagan poets but that doesn't make them Scripture either. Acts 17:28

    (I agree with that list...I want to know how Mr. Q. decides because it seems he doesn't have a clear idea of the history of Biblical texts)

    Thanks!

    We have already discussed this. I hold to the Old Testament of the Jews of Israel.

    Its not me that is not clear.

    Exactly. I mean--if he's a Conservative Jew--that's one thing, but I think he's claiming Christianity.
