Abakarov storms back and wins 6-6

TD Brooks 2-1

I am not sure that this is a a great place to have this conversation but I will just briefly say that the Catholic church teaches that their is no salvation outside of the church. You can see this in their own words in The Catechism of the Catholic Church paragraph 846-848. They also believe in no salvation without their sacraments. If you are interested in this read the Catholic Encyclopedia pp.197-198 regarding the mass, p.65 for baptism.

They might say that but the Catholic doctrine reveals that it’s Jesus Christ + a bunch of other things (such as the sacraments of the church, Mary as the door to heaven, etc).

People are soft because they are very easily offended, not just because they criticize something. I can handle criticism and have never gotten upset about anything said regarding this situation. There are people that are either professing Christian’s or non-Muslims that acted like they are offended by what Brooks said. Doesn’t make much sense to me. Again, the Christian view is that Jesus Christ is the only way. So, if someone is offended by what Brooks said, then they are just offended by Christianity. This has not been a very fruitful back and forth conversation so I’m going to opt out from replying further. Have a nice day.

Just because I would not do something does not mean that I understand the criticism. I would not flex to the crowd after a match either... Never said that anyone was not allowed to disagree. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and they can criticize if they choose to. My overarching point that seems to be flying over your head (and others as well) is that if someone is a Christian they automatically hold the view that Muhammad is a false prophet and Christ is the only way to heaven. If you want to disagree and criticize me then you can, that is fine. Like water of a ducks back brother... And if by being a fanatic you mean being a massive fan of Jesus Christ, then - yeah count me in! The only Potentate, he King of kings, the Lord of lords, the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, God manifest in the flesh. Yes, I am a fanatic.

While I would have personally went with just sharing 1 Cor 15:1-4, but it is his moment and what a better time to share the gospel with the biggest audience possible.

It is not the approach that I would have taken in an evangelistic effort either but I just don't see the big controversy about it is all I am saying. There have been a few statements made by Aaron that lead me to believe that he is probable a Pentecostal type of Christian that I would strongly disagree with in much of his doctrine haha.

I do not know the man personally so I will refrain from commenting on his personal convictions and theology. You can point out his comments and criticize them if you please, that's your liberty. I am moreso making a statement that putting anyone besides Jesus Christ as an object of salvation is an anti-Christian view. Any true Christian would hold the view that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven.

To this day I do not see how what Brooks said is an issue. It is a fundamental of Christianity. Him saying that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven (which people say all the time, without controversy) is the same as him naming every single false prophet individually. People are soft. I know that people that follow Islam, Buddism, Catholicism, etc do not believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven and I disagree with them, but it does not offend me.

Clearly the photo is shot a slight upward angle. Spencer is the photographer.

We probably didn’t even want him anyway…

I think if Heckeisen has Olympic aspirations we will see him leave UNI.

AJ Ferrari commit?

Big upset with Parkside off the board this early.

Apology accepted lol. A lot of program success ultimately comes down to booster support. No one thought Cornell would be a top wrestling destination years ago but they have poured into the program and reaped success. SDSU has shown that they are committed with new facilities and such. We will see if the recruiting ticks upward because if it does, look out! Hahn and staff know how to develop guys with the best of them.

Easy on the SDSU comments. 8 NQ's and 4 AA's last year. We are not in the same strata as Lock Haven thank you very much.

We have seen smaller guys struggle against big 125 pounders. Think of Kurt McHenry, Malik Heinselman, Zach Sanders, etc. Size is an advantage. Not an advantage that cannot be overcome, but an advantage nonetheless.

He just took second in a last chance bracket placing ahead of Anthony Ashnault, Jaydin Eierman, Dean Heil, Michael McGee....

I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and suppose that you meant his floor rather than ceiling.

ROTC get a cost of living and books stipend I believe.

Plus isn’t Goodale like a decade younger than manning ?

It is a brutal sport and injuries happen. Injuries even happen to (gasp!) Penn State (SVN, Robbie Howard, Starrocci).

Currently reading The Buddha of Christendom by Sir Robert Anderson and I highly recommend. On that note, I would recommend many of Sir Robert Anderson's books.

Apparently Rutgers just reached out to him regarding their vacant assistant head coaching job. He will be high on the list for all vacant D1 jobs. He would be a lock for any D2, D3 and HS coaching jobs.
