Red herring or ad hominem fallacy. In any case it doesn't affect the outcome of the debate. Protestantism is false.

That's how Orthodoxy and Catholicism sees it. We also acknowledge that His sacrifice is eternal, which means everlasting. So Mass isn't a sacrifice over and over again, it is the same one sacrifice that is forever, which is what eternal means.

A little play-by-play. OP and Catholic @chrysostom says " this could be the most interesting collection of posters I have ever had in one of my threads" at post 283, which is long after the outcome of this impromptu 'battle royale' has already been determined. Catholic @Cruciform shows up at...

People should smoke more.

Finito doneski DOA, in February 2016, over five years ago. It was an impromptu battle royale debate, many participants (many of whom have ceased participating on TOL, which I don't think is coincidental), during which a group of Catholic users and an Orthodox user and a...

That's odd. Which has become par for the course, for the modern culture, as far as I'm concerned. Sadly, I think. Specifically what if a false witness committed perjury that resulted in the incorrect conviction and subsequent execution of an innocent person? Does that rise to the level of...

What are you saying? Fentanyl comes here from Mexico. Are you saying Mexico is corrupted with Chinese graft?

"Did Jesus die for our sins?" Yes if we are the Church: Ephesians 5 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious...

Our allies would be key in any hot war with the Chinese and Russians (hopefully the Russians wouldn't ally with China but as far as I'm concerned that is a real possibility if not a probability). They have basically infinite numbers but between us and all our allies together so do we. It's...

You can sink an aircraft carrier but not an island.

OK. But how long does this protection last? And if it isn't forever, then does the protection diminish back to an unvaccinated state, or is there a time when the vaccinated person is even less protected than had he not been vaccinated at all in the first place? iow is there a vulnerable...

It's harmless rhetoric. Just like sticks and stones, but harmless rhetoric will never hurt me. There's harmful rhetoric, that can be done by people irl online, if you know what I mean, it's when people know each other like kids at school, they can inflict harmful rhetoric online that way, but...

How is rape not a violent crime? I can understand people not recognizing perjury as a violent crime since there's no bodily harm, but in rape there is sometimes bodily harm.

Those are violent criminals. They're categorically different from just perverts. OK. Disagreed.

And the pope isn't saying that. He's proffering that there is an absolute human right against it, and it has nothing to do with inevitable wrongful convictions. It's definitely a different take on the matter. Violent crimes, yeah. What about perjury with the result being someone wrongly...

'Practicing' ones. Celibate (iow chaste) homosexuals are not perverted.

I don't think that I'm not a far right fundamentalist, and I don't advocate for the execution of any perverts.
