The Assumption of Mary

[guanophore]

Quote: “Well maybe pope Urban II had some truth you could tap into, inspirer of the first crusade, decreed that all heretics were to be tortured and killed, that became a dogma of the “church” (catholic) Nice chap this Urban fellow. Do you think he was interested in Christs words, was this the secret work of the Holy Spirit? Your church Fathers were under the doctrine of Demons .”

This policy on crusades was never made a “dogma” of the Church. If it was, your Protestant friend would be dead already!

I would sever communication with his person, since he seems to be firing buckshots at you. If he cannot remain civil and keep the discussion forcused on the topic at hand then he’s simply not competent enough to actually debate fairly.

By the way, if he’s actually resorting to this kind of tactic, then I would say you’ve won as far as planting the seeds. Let him mull over it for some time. Perhaps in 20 years or so it will dawn on him.

Note: Simply praying for him at this time would be the best thing to do.

I agree. If he is too chicken to bring his complaints here, you have done all you can do. We know them by their fruits. In his posts, we can see the fruit of dissention and accusation. Who is the accuser of the brethren?
