You are kidding me?
??? Am I kidding? Brother, this is sad, you think I am kidding?
Well, Why aren’t they debating? they have william lane craig, james white, you are kidding me? our priests are not clever. Always That I see a priest or another catholic being asked about our faith, they can’t answer well but look at William Lane Craig, look james white woow.
anyone? I don’t know he has a lot of debates but He does ko all catholics.
Books books books, I am talking about debates, anybody could write a book, I want to see arguments to be defended.
Just because one does not adequently represent the faith, it does not make the total truth any less true. You find there is a lack of skilled apologists? Go be one. Our Church has a treasure trove of answers and resources to strengthen your faith and defend it against others. Those apologists may not have had the answers then (an important thing to always remember), but you and I both know there are resources that have more than adequently addressed their concerns. What is it exactly about there being a lack of qualified apologists in your opinion that makes Catholicism suddenly something you want to throw the towel for?
Jaime, don’t let those guys bring you down.
If I may recommend a book. It’s by dr. Brant pitre. The book is called Jesus and the roots of the Eucharist. It’s a great book.
*No one *who argues from a standpoint of Scripture being the sole authority on matters of the faith should be taken seriously to begin with.
I found your booklet very intriguing is it ok if I use it as a resource for my apologetic efforts when I need them?
Absolutely, let others use it too.
Kidding? Nah. Just misled…
May God save us from priests who are merely ‘clever’…
Look harder. Here, among other places…
Debates debates debates… you need to be talking about arguments (not debates) – anybody can debate. You need to read arguments as they’re defended properly…
Fair enough. Yet, if an arbitrary person cannot argue the Truth, that doesn’t mean that Truth is wrong – it just means that this person is unable to argue well. Go look for another person who can argue better…!
Well, I am a sister, and yes I find it hard to believe someone would consider abandoning the faith for the reasons you describe.
Debate is is not the only, or even primary, method of articulating the faith.
I have never found these people to be compelling.
Does holiness require cleverness? Does truth?
Always? That is a pretty bold statement considering the list I gave you previously.
Can you give a specific example of a teaching of the faith inadequately defended in your opinion? We can discuss it here.
That is pretty hilarious. So I take it you have not read any of the authors I put forward?
So what teaching do you doubt?
I’ve read arguments, they look good in paper but what happens in a debate? you get it?Debates debates debates… you need to be talking about arguments (not debates) – anybody can debate. You need to readarguments as they’re defended properly…
Well show me who that person is that can argue better? Chesterton is not here.Yet, if an arbitrary person cannot argue the Truth, that doesn’t mean that Truth is wrong – it just means that this person is unable to argue well. Go look for another person who can argue better…!
Then you have at your disposal a really good list of authors to start reading.
