On one of Doc’s last posts , he was chastising one of us, I think it was you, for not being respectful as Pennylynn had suggested. He referenced a thread on Trolls that he posted in 2015 very soon after he joined OPP. I went to that thread to read it and he viciously attacked her in the exact same way that he did us! I had assumed that we were at least partially responsible for his anger, but in all indication, he has always been exactly the same. What I don’t know is, is it ijust his style of writing and corresponding with all others that don’t agree with him, or that he is really a troubled person that needs our sincere prayers!! Whichever it is, I pray that he finds peace. I know that none of us ever wished him harm or wanted to silence him, or Radiance! They are both conservatives and we have much in common with them! I hope they come back! I don’t think they ever understood that we were attacking doctrine, not them personally! They were never able to differentiate between the two. Maybe with time they will return.

I believe that with the Roman Catholics attacking there doctrine in regards to the Bible is the same as attacking them. At least that is the feeling that I got form Doc110 and Radiance3. But if you cannot discuss the doctrine in reference to the Holy Bible what can you discuss in regards to. We cannot argue or discuss in regards to oral traditions because they are not written down as far as I know. But there has to be some absolute that is the base point and if it isn't the Bible then we are all lost. You can't throw in Apostolic Tradition and not show where this tradition is recorded nor can you claim oral tradition and not show where oral tradition was written down for all to see and study. Then to throw on top of all of that you have the supposed popes authority to throw out whatever and it has to be accepted as gospel is asinine to say the least. So I guess in the future we all have to establish a base point and if any wants to enter they must accept that base point as the scriptures and not this other malarkey. At least that is my feeling for the moment. Padremike also fit in with Doc110 and radiance3 as well and it was equally difficult to discuss anything with him as well.
