Debate with me!

[quote name='Raphael' date='Mar 11 2006, 10:14 PM']What he means is that we're both evangelical (in that we spread the Gospel and therefore the term applies to us) and Catholic (in that we're Catholics).

You are Evangelical.  It's a big-E/little-e thing.

[quote name='Firsttorun' date='Mar 11 2006, 11:11 PM']Um...I have a request....could you please use smaller words...it's not fair if you win only because I don't understand you

Well, I'm able to use smaller words. I had a very hard time understanding the big ones myself once.

[quote name='Brother Adam' date='Mar 11 2006, 10:15 PM']Sorry, let's try to break it down some more. Think of it as if we look in a dictionary, like if we were to look up the words "evangelical" and "Christian".

Catholics would completely fall within both definitions. We are both "Christian" and "evangelical".

Now, you said in another thread that you are not a Catholic, but an "Evangelical Christian". To us, that means you belong to a group of people that call themselves "Evangelical Christians", not "Catholics".

So to put it another way, you and me, we are both 'evangelical' - we like to spread the Gospel, and 'Christians' - we are both disciples of Jesus Christ. Simply put, I'm Catholic, and you are not Catholic.

But not Evangelical Christians...got it

[ReinnieR]

[quote name='Raphael' date='Mar 11 2006, 09:10 PM']BTW, I suggest that we go one at a time with this.  Too many people at once can be confusing for both parties.

[quote name='Paphnutius' date='Mar 11 2006, 11:15 PM']Let us move past this point and on to actual discussion.

I agree. We'll let you pick a topic, Firsttorun.

Would it be okay to get a first name or initials or something we can call you by, besides a screenname? They're a bit annoying at times.

Lol. It's okay. I was a Fundamentalist Baptist when I first came here several years ago. I got confused pretty easily too. Sorry for the confusion.

[quote name='Firsttorun' date='Mar 11 2006, 11:25 PM, Open Mic Forum, "I feel dense"']Lets see...praying to the saints....those added books of the Bible (forget what they are called..I think it starts with and A).....

In response to this quote I took from her in Open Mic, I suggest one of these two topics.

[Maria]

As per Firsttorun's request, I am making this thread go over to a third page (she can't open this one).

[Maria]

Praying to Saints is cool.

[Maria]

Asking people in Heaven to pray for us is like asking people on earth to pray for us, except that their prayers are more effective because they're perfectly in union with God's will.

I have no doubt that Brother Adam can handle this debate single handedly and having reasoned himself into the Church from an 'evangelical' position he is probably better qualified than I. But like Paphnutius I think I'll hang around too. See what I can contribute...

[Maria]

And there's nothing wrong with praying in front of a statue.
