I'd rather you elaborate on it here so me and you can discuss it instead of a bunch of others muddying it up.
Scared to make an RCC thread?

Others are gonna get involved wherever you go.

Not scared no. But there are only a couple of other people besides me and you that are actually active in this thread. If I make any thread and put the words Catholic in it I'm going to have a bunch of copy/paste replies trying to convince me that the Catholic Church is evil.

Not really, If those arguments couldn't convince me as a child they certainly aren't going to convince me now.

Re: "We should take time to explain ourselves" if we use the word "cult".

A cult is just a fringe religious group.
What people DON'T know is that many of the major religions of the world could at one time be considered a cult by modern definitions. Christianity as a whole, Islam, Buddhism, Wicca (kind of), Mormonism, Voodoo, Lutherans, Quakers (me :) ), ALL Protestant groups at one point or another.

As long as its a religion whose beliefs come out of another's, it can be considered a cult. Basically only tribal reliigons, Shintoism, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, all of the pagan religions (Greek, Eyptian, etc) and TECHINCALLY Scientology can't be a cult, b/c there is no religion it has come out of.

So be careful when you use the word cult to bash someone.

Thank you, FSUBoy. I wish Strangelove would listen to you if he won't/can't listen to me.
He likes to say cult and leave it at that without any proof. He just makes false accusations and thinks it's okay to do that. Go figure.
God bless him. He's mistaken in his view.

B/c at one point, if Jesus was first born from Mary NOW, he'd be called a cult leader. Same with Buddha and Muhammad and all other "newer" religions. (After Judaism and Hinduism)[

Not surprising at all. Best brainwashing gets done in youth.

So somehow I'm brainwashed huh? Has it ever occurred to you that people can look at scripture and see the RCC there instead of some kind of quasi-reformation church?

Dear friends,
Luther said the Roman papacy was the Antichrist.
Luther tried to reform the Roman papacy.
What you get, then, in each and every form of Protestantism, is a reformed Antichrist system.
The logic is certain.

Why do I care what luther said?

Are you sticking around then?

There are questions remaining for you in this thread:

Eastern Orthodoxy is not Talmud Pharisaism (Mishnaism). (boy oh boy it is)

Actually, I guess I see Scott and Santo's position here...you haven't brought EVIDENCE, just a list of acusations. Evidence means historical records, quotations, expert analysis- things of that nature.

Re: "We should take time to explain ourselves" if we use the word "cult".

To put it another way, as an analogy to courts, you've brought the charges but now you need to convince the jury, which consists of more than simply stating the charges over and over again.

All you've done is ACCUSED me of not bringing any evidence. You havn't shown this to be the case.

Evidence means historical records, quotations, expert analysis- things of that nature.
Actually evidence means comparing doctrine of a cult to scripture. Thats all.

I've seen plenty of evidence from you in the thread about the EO church, I'd like to see Scott or someone put out some scriptural evidence to counter your evidence in that thread. I don't think they can though.
