Your mention of Catholicism brings back to mind the inter-sectarian conflicts. Catholics vs Orthodox vs Protestant. Sunni vs Shia. Pharisee vs Sadducee, Rabbinical vs Karaite. These too, like the inter-Abrahamic hostilities, are also heavily hostile on similar levels, declaring similar hellfire...

"Keep hold of instruction, do not let go; guard her, for she is your life. Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not walk in the way of evil men. Avoid it; do not go on it; turn away from it and pass on. For they cannot sleep unless they have done wrong; they are robbed of...

The only "pluralism" (big quotation marks) to be found in my post is that we as an Abrahamic dysfunctional family, hate each other and in a continuous matter from the last, that our hatred of each other exceeds our hatred for the Polytheists/Pagans (maybe this originates from the view towards...

Nobody is buying into your Buddhist apologetics, Bubbles.

If this thread was about universalism and pluralism, then maybe your response would make sense but it is not about those things, period.

Shut up Bubbles

To think that we've reached that low of a point that I am expected to explain the concept of a pun to you.

Like most of your and Bubba's replies, it's like I'm reading Cathy Newman. Pointing out the degree of religious hostilities and polemics among the Abrahamic religions is not "pluralism", I find it amusing that you frame it this way, as though recognizing the sheer parrallels in types of...

They don't have to, merely agreeing with your (trinitarian) doctrine doesn't justify or validate your insidious, asinine behavior.

Come again?: And other further comments. Look, you're trying to be funny and nobody is in the mood for your clownish behavior. My pointing out of your non-sequiturs through analogy is not a strawman and I put the analogy at the forefront of the post: Only a troll would respond saying...

Frankly though, this forum really does have the most uninteresting "Christians" (quote-unquote because I find it to be self-professed rather than actual Christians) I've encountered. It is a big change in quality when I switch between this site and others with communities of Christians users...

No because you just give non-sequiturs, red herrings, ad hominems and rave on about things in a way that most Christians would regard as nefarious.

Antarctica?

You play the character of the forum troll very well, I applaud you on that. Your response confirms what I was saying about you (and your posts) above.

Of course everything is Islam to you but Mary doesn't have the kind of theological weight in Islam that she does in Catholicism. Most Muslims see this kind of stuff as merely just superstition and at worst the work of Jinn.

Maybe, maybe not. I think there could be merit, hypothetically, to the notion the UFO-fanatic guy that was here made about them preceding a 'return' of Jesus. Not to say I 'believe' it but it does make me wonder, given that the apparitions have reportedly appeared between the 16th century and...

To throw back your logic at you. None of what you say is evidence that Buddhism is true, you are not making a strong case for Buddhism Bubbajay, your arguments for Buddhism just prove Samaritanism correct.

So are we refuting the concept of Revelation here? or the concept of Covenant? (which did occur throughout Bereshit/Genesis prior to Moses). Covenant is not dispensationalism, dispensationalism is a change in mode of salvation and the segregation of revelation into periods. But to correct you...

I am talking from the perspective of the Bible which sees these figures as fallible, sinful figures that still find the favor, blessing and destiny of God. To the mind of a Christian solely, then you would just nod your head thinking that you have a point there but to a Samaritan and to a Jew...

One thing I find particularly fascinating is that the kinds of messages that accompany the Marian Apparitions are similar to the kinds of views Protestants have tended to always have against the Catholic Church (whether rightfully or not). For instance the "Our Lady Of Success" apparition in...
