Tj3,
As I recall recently on a thread that was shut down because of it you were the one who was accusing others of lying.
I stand by what I said for I do not recall anyone but you accusing others of attacking or abusing them.
If you know of some who did please inform me of the post number and the thread where that did that.
Peace and kindness,
Fred

Tj3,
As I recall recently on a thread that was shut down because of it you were the one who was accusing others of lying.

You mean where your friend Joe was claiming that I wrote articles on a website that he claimed that I owned, that I have nothing to do with? And continued to do so even after the proof to the contrary was provided? And when the proof was provided, he ignored it and refused to even acknowledge that he made a mistake, but rather repeated the same false accusations?

That is lying and are you saying that that is acceptable? By anyone? By those who profess to be Christians?

Is that consistent with your "faith"? Why do you defend such behaviour?

If you know of some who did please inform me of the post number and the thread where that did that.

Fred,

Unlike you, I don't go gathering information like that. I would rather focus on respectful discussions. It seems to be you and your small group that likes to turn threads into attacks against individuals (like this one).

Peace and kindness,

"Peace and kindness" should be more than words that you add to the bottom of a message.

[arcura]

Tj3,
I don't go gathering information like that either so that was a false accusation on your part.
And Joe was just making a mistake as I have done with your promotion of the discern site.
I always assumed that you were the author because you promote it so much.
I did not ever hit the home button for fear that it would just produce more distortions and bigotry about Catholicism and other faiths.
That is my explanation.
Now let's get back to the subject of this thread.
Peace and kindness,
Fred

Yeah, all seriousness aside, the CIA sent me a report that indicated the site was keeping Weapons against Catholic for Mass agents of Distortions WaC for MaD. So, I sent in the Marines as a preemptive counterattack. And in this case, the CIA was right-this time! In all seriousness, you should be ashamed of that stuff - half of it is very distorted; the other half is plain simple wrong.

Are you making more false accusations, Joe?

Are you still falsely trying to suggest that is my website of that I wrote the articles? Joe, you should be ashamed of yourself. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of truth, not of lies.

Well Ok, lets trot it out and we'll discuss it.

[Tj3]

Tj3,
And Joe was just making a mistake as I have done with your promotion of the discern site.

If he was, you would not have kept repeating the accusation over and over after the evidence was presented. That was deliberate misrepresentation of the facts. And he is suggesting that same false accusations again in this thread.

And you defend this type of behaviour?

I always assumed that you were the author because you promote it so much.

I promote what site so much? Are you into false accusations also, Fred?

Now let's get back to the subject of this thread.

Yes, why don't you?

[Tj3]

Well Ok, lets trot it out and we'll discuss it.

Trot what out? You were shown the facts and you chose to continue to mis-represent the truth. What I would expect of a man of integrity who had made such mis-representations would be shame and an apology. Not a repeat of the same lies.

[Tj3]

Joe, I responded to the part where you said "In all seriousness". Are you trying to avoid responsibility for your actions? I would not expect men of integrity to make light of false accusations.

[arcura]

Tj3,
No false accusations from me, just the thruth.
LOOK AT YOUR LAST POST HERE AND ALL HERE AND ON OTHER BOARDS.
Every one of then PROMOTES the discern site.
The evidence is clear that what I said IS true.
Peace and kindness,

NOW back to the subject.

The discern site is mine. The site that Joe was referring to is not.

Apparently you don't even know what you are defending. Perhaps before you start defending falsehoods, you ought to get your facts straight. I trust that now that you know that, that you will perhaps choose to stop defending Joe's false accusations and get back on topic.

BTW, Fred, it was not me who took this off topic. Go back and have a look. You can start posting on topic any time you please!

The birthplace of Jesus “Bethlehem” mean “house of bread”.
Ancient commentators on that interpret it as a prefiguring of the Eucharist.
Jesus came to earth in the “house of bread”, and comes to us in the form of Living Bread every time we receive Him under the forms of unleavened bread and wine in that blessed sacrament.
(From the Our Sunday Visitor)
Peace and kindness,

More about the word "lehem":

------------------------------------------------------
What can you say about a culture that uses the same root — Hebrew (lamed, het, mem) — for both bread Hebrew (lehem, accent on the first syllable) and war, Hebrew(milhama)? Do Hebrew (lehem) and Hebrew (milhama) really come from the same root? It's a good question, and to answer it one must invoke a third use of the root. It seems that Hebrew (laham) means not only "he did battle" and "he ate bread" but also "he joined together."

Using this third meaning, Ludwig Koehler, in his 1953 Dictionary of the Hebrew Old Testament, opines that our root originally had the connotation of "to be closely packed together" and that that meaning is the common denominator. In war, says Koehler, soldiers often engage in hand-to-hand combat in close quarters. Voilà for war, Hebrew (milhama). Bread, he adds, suggesting perhaps that it is considered highly nutritious, is "compact food." Voilà for bread, Hebrew(lehem).

If I've misrepresented the links under your acknowledgements you shouldn't have any problem bringing some of them forward. I'm willing to discuss them rationally. I grantee, I'll only address the issues that are wrong, without false accusations. Surly, you don't have any problem with that?

Joe,

What you mis-represented was a completely different website and was NOT one of those linked in my signature line. The website that you referred to was one which you falsely claimed to be mine and which you falsely claimed contained articles written by me. That website itself has more than adequate evidence to prove otherwise.

The evidence was presented to you, numerous times on that thread, so no more evidence need be provided. A man of integrity would know how to respond. Your choices are:

1) Continue to make the false accusations and mis-representations despite your knowing the truth.
2) Choose to apologize for the false accusations.
3) Or chose to move on without doing either.

Your choice will tell us something about your character. In any case, it seems to me that hijacking threads for continuing attacks against me is inappropriate.

On any case, it seems to me that once again, you and Fred have chosen to take a thread off topic for the sake of personal abuse. Didn't you say that works were necessary for salvation? Is abuse one of the works that you are hoping to help save you?

Well certainly we can clear this entire mess up by bringing forward on another thread some of the material allowing us to discuss them. Surly, there’s no harm in that - right?

Merry Christmas

You mean that you are suggesting a thread to post more abusive false accusations that you already know to be lies, and were already proven to be so?

And you think somehow that is the right thing to do?

Goodnight Tj, I'm sorry if you got upset. No, big deal here.
