Zone1 The Greater Sin

[ding]

We know that, which is why we focus on the Word and not so much on man's traditions.

Do you celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, Thanksgiving, births, the 4th of July, weddings, Easter?

Anyone who would pooh pooh tradition is no fan of heritage, culture, liberty or freedom. Do you know who said "a people without a heritage are easily persuaded?"

Notice that the only way the Catholic will allow someone to celebrate communion with them is by going through Catholic regimens. It's do it the Catholic way or not at all. It's not enough that a person spends the service searching their heart for unconfessed sin and seeking God's face to prepare for communion. No, you have to go to first confession, or they judge you not worthy.

This is why there can be no unification with the Catholic church, because they insist that every compromise, every change, everything comes from the other side. They bend on nothing. Notice that there was no answer to the question of whether the Coptic church or the Catholic church compromised in order to be unified. I believe we know the answer. The Catholic view of unification means the other denomination becomes Catholic.

Again... no different than what any other Catholic has had to do to receive communion.

If there was a god, he should spank both of you for naughty behaviour!

Whereas I would spank you for including a "u" in behavior.

Ah, and again you leap as far away from the topic as possible. I state that we focus more on Scripture than on tradition and viola! there you go, thinking that we don't celebrate ANY traditions. It would be funny if you weren't so serious about all of it.

I'm well aware of that. They're not special, they're just following their exclusionary policies.

- unlike you who uses false standards to persecute and victimize the innocent as your goal for creating them ... christianity.

jesus taught liberation theology, self determination ... the heavenly way for living life.

I haven't persecuted anyone, goof ball. What has YOUR religion accomplished?

 

[ding]

I'm well aware of that. They're not special, they're just following their exclusionary policies.

Exclusionary would be if you were not allowed to convert to Catholicism and take the sacraments. But you are allowed to do that. Just like every other Catholic has had to do it.

Have you tried going to a Jewish synagogue and demanded that they alter their requirements of participation in their rituals? How about the Muslims? Have you requested they alter their prayer schedule to accomodate you? Would you describe their refusals as exclusionary? Or would this just be another example of your unreasonableness and failure to properly categorize your errors?

And you're stuck on stupid. Simply asking if someone can participate is nothing like demanding like in that fantasy.

I'm asking you if you celebrate any traditions not mentioned in the bible.

Again... exclusionary would be if there were no path. There is a path. You keep showing your biases and ignorances with every post.

That's exactly what you are demanding. Special treatment.

Why? Everyone celebrates some traditions or other.

 

[hadit]

That's exactly what you are demanding. Special treatment.

You're not even arguing seriously. Here's a hint, if you want to be taken seriously, don't ascribe wild extremes to the other guy.

And like I said, Catholics are welcome to celebrate communion with us. We won't even throw holy water on them.

Even if they aren't in the Bible? Blaspheme.

I am being serious. You want special treatment. Are you better than everyone else who had to progress through the sacraments? You want to bypass all that and go to the front of the line like you are special and more deserving than everyone else.

I think I would prefer having life in me. See John 6:53.

You don't celebrate birthdays? That's kind of odd.

I'm not the one arguing against traditions. That would be you.

I'm not even arguing against traditions. You keep saying that. I say that traditions don't have the same authority as Scripture. That's not arguing against them. You see, I have been watching you build strawman after strawman, knock them down and dance around like you accomplished something. You didn't, because I wasn't even arguing what you claim I was. Go back and read what I actually wrote, not what you wish I had.
