Why do people keep thinking I'm a Protestant or determine Truth via history, when I have repeatedly said neither of those things are true? I'm just respectfully explaining different perspectives across Christiandom. And why won't people actually answer the questions asked of them?

It is notable that other non-Catholic groups do not interpret Romans 5:12-19 the way you do, and don't find those ideas any where in the Bible. For these people, Augustine is the author of the imputation of Original Sin idea because he's the one that famously interpreted scripture that way...

My experience: CARM is a absolutely horrible place and the only people the mods allow on people who sing perfectly with the chorus CARM wants. No other tones/beliefs are tolerated. CF is a bad place that had a certain mindset and would rather enforce biased/unfair rules rather than care about...

Your post here has a lot to go through so I'll try to pull out the big points here. In the likely event I am misunderstanding something here, please let me know. I very much want to understand your perspective here. - You differentiate between the "People of God" and the "Servants of God"...

Which brings us to the question: whose sins? That person's or someone else's or both? Thank you for sharing your perspective here Mary. I personally don't find history to be a strong epistemological method for determining Truth, so while I respect your love of history, I'm not interested in...

BECAUSE DENOMINATION DOESN"T MATTER!!! You'd rather chase your red herring of denomination labels instead of instead of actually talking to ME. A person. Not a denominational label. It's incredibly disrespectful.

Yes, I heard your words. But I also hear your tone which says a completely different story-- that you disdain non-Catholics. Hence why I asking. Do you actually respect someone who's not a Catholic? ^ This is an irrelevant red harring and personal attack. Again, your actions/tone are...

Do you respect me? Spoiler alert: I am not Catholic. I respect Catholic because I respect ALL faiths. I personally do NOT believe that the Catholic Church is Christ's one personal True Church on this earth. I PASSIONATELY disagree with many Catholic doctrines such as infant baptism, paper...

Your tone and attitude here thoroughly implies that's the level of disrespect you hold to all non-Catholics. It + your constantly not apologizing for it is extremely hurtful and destories civilness. You were civil for that post, but many of your other posts since them have downright been...

(The following is a vent) My blindly anti-Mormon Mother-in-Law came for Thanksgiving. I love her dearly ... 97% of the time. Not when she goes on her anti-Mormon kicks though. She berated my non-denominational husband for... folding his arms as he lead bedtime prayers. And them me for...

(Seeking clarification on your beliefs here) Describing a situation here-- A Christian couple raises their child 100% in the Gospel, teaching from scripture, praying, church every Sunday, etc. 100% upstanding example of Christian life for the entire family. Part of their faith is that believe...

"Catholic" can be a empty label, just as "Protestant" or "Christian" or any other one can be. But that doesn't mean it always is-- not be any stretch. I have met many Catholics who are real children of God and upstanding people that way-- burning unmistakeable testimonies. There is nothing...

It doesn't matter what specific non-Catholic faith I hold. You attacked all non-Catholics with your comment. Please acknowledge the your words hurt me rather than continue to chase "what denomination are you" red herrings. It's just giving the appearance of dodging the main point.

You (falsely) assumed I was a Protestant. And then accused me of hiding. And still not addressed the attack here "That's what the tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering sects need to ask themselves - not Christ's Church." No I'm not Catholic. And I am not attacking...

This does not address my original comment and instead introduces more erroneous assumptions and attacks. WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING ME? Please stop. Please be civil ,as I have been to you.

Let's start with the fact that i'm not a Catholic. You attacked my faith here: I do not attack you. I do not attack any Catholic, any Protestant, or anybody of any faith. I champion civilness and respect, even when I passionately diagram with people. It hurts me when I read this attacking...

How about you and me? Are you willing to stop attacking my faith?

Then please stop attacking my faith. And yes, "That's what the tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering sects need to ask themselves - not Christ's Church." is an attack on my faith.

Comments such as "That's what the tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering sects need to ask themselves - not Christ's Church." is an attack to every non-Catholic on here, including myself. I respect that you believe what you believe. But please watch your words and be...

You expressed the wish to have more civil discourse on this forum. That only starts when we turn away from those that attack and reply only with civilness. The change starts from within. I myself have worked hard to turn away from the many attacks online and just reply with civilness.
