A New Referene Section

[phatcatholic]

phatpham,

here is the message that i sent to dUSt about a new reference section. this could be a really cool addition to the Apologetics board. what do you guys think?

dUSt,

did you see cmom's post about the reference section? i believe this link will take you to it:

if its cool w/ u, we can go ahead and start new topics in the apologetics board asking people to submit their best article or argument in support of a certain defense.

for example, regarding the logic of sola scriptura, we can have people submit their best article/argument that proves that it is illogical. then we can make another topic for people to submit the best article/argument which shows that SS isn't supported in the Bible. and we can move on and on from there until SS is completely tackled. Then we'll take the best from every aspect of SS and put it into one post. then we can pin that post in the apologetics board so people can always go there and know that they'll find everything they need to attack SS from every angle.

i think it will be pretty cool. i don't care to get this started if that is ok w/ u. holla back dUSt,

holla back pham,

another reason why this would be good is b/c, like cmom said, we woudln't have to look all thru the different boards for that one unique argument that we remember somone posting a long time ago. it would all be in one place, every conceivable argument for or against a topic.

you may also ask, well doesn't the reading room do that? well, yes and no. first off, there is some good info there. but, its not as comprehensive as it could be. plus, take Sola Scriptura for example. what if i just want the argument against logic? if i go to the reading room, i'll have to read through a whole article, and sift thru many other arguments before i get to the one that address the logic of SS. but, w/ this reference section, we can have a section totally devoted to the logic of SS, and other sections devoted to other aspects of this doctrine. this will make it a whole lot easier to find that one particular argument you are looking for.

there's my 2 cents. holla back,

for more info, here's cmom's post about a reference section, followed by my response:

cmom:

Dust I think we also need a reference section in apologetics and I propose iron and katolikos should run it. These guys know every single argument and anology about the faith. We have the information scattered througout all the posts, but they are difficult to access at a moment's notice.

I would like to take a single topic at a time : sola scriptura, presdestination, perpetual virginity of Mary, apostolic succession etc and list every thing we can about each one, every good analogy we have come up , every diagram someone has contributed. We have the material , and I can help locate more, but we need iron and kat ( and everybody else, I am not IGNORING anybody, I just don't want to type everybodys name ) to get it organized.

We can be the most comphrensive apologectic site on the web.

After this is organized, we can pick the anti-catholic sites and we ALL can go after them as a group, because we will have the info we need to all be great apologists.

cmom,

i think ur idea for a reference section is freakin amesome! i especially love this part:

YEA!! that hypes me up! let's do it! i like this idea b/c it breaks each topic up by the specific argument used for it. for example, there are many different reasons why sola scriptura is faulty. so, under that one topic, we can have the best article for why its illogical, the best article for why its not supported by scripture, the best article for how it goes against tradition, the best article for how protestants think it works in theory, but it never works in practice, the best article for why sola scriptura was created, etc. etc. etc. then, that way, under each topic, we have every conceivable argument covered. THAT WOULD BE amesome!

maaan, i'm all about it. dUSt, say the word, and i'm on it!

good idea cmom,
