The same could be said of you and Lonewolf's comments.
Although you do do more than criticize beliefs. You also slander the people.
Hillbilly is a term (often derogatory) for people who dwell in rural, mountainous areas of the United States, primarily Appalachia but also the Ozarks. (Source)

I'm not sure that you understand the meaning of the word "slander". Calling Reckart a bigot is not slander when he has made bigoted statements on his blog. Calling him a "hillbilly" is not slander, as he was born in the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia.

You might think that I'm mean, and you're probably right, but I don't lie about people.

Protestants REJECT Christ's presence in the Eucharist because you all cannot confect it.
As I noted earlier, not all Protestants reject it, they just view it differently -- Lutherans, for example, believe in Consubstantiation, rather than Transubstantiation, that Christ is present, but that the bread and wine are also present, and that unused bread and wine no longer has Christ's presence. Anglicans vary from those who have a Catholic view (Transubstantiation) to those that have a Reformed view (essentially, that Christ is "around", in spirit, but has nothing to do with the actual elements.) The Methodists kind of throw up their hands and say "he's there, we're not sure how."
So it's a diverse landscape, Colbe, don't make the assumption that all Protestants are of the same mind (on this, or any other issue, lol.)

Saying that I am involved in witchcraft when I am not and making me equal to a Nazi when I hate the evils committed by them, is slander.
The Congregation of the wicked (synogogue of satan) crucified Christ.

Once again you reveal yourself to be a hypocrite. Falsely accusing others of being a bigot while you make bigoted comments.
bigot (ˈbɪɡət)
— n
a person who is intolerant of any ideas other than his or her own, esp on religion, politics, or race (Source)

Calling on the name of the Lord is Biblical and not witchcraft.
Your own Catholic faith rejects any baptism where the words Father, Son, Holy Ghost, and baptize are not included.
Therefore you are a slanderer and hypocrite.
My words about the Pharisees are the truth as recorded in Scripture. Your claim that that makes me a Nazi, is slander.
Further your name calling of Pastor Reckart ("hillbilly pastor") and also of sinners ("jerkwads") shows that you are the real bigot here.

Okay, who was the prince in 70AD?? History records nothing about an Arab prince in Jerusalem in 70 AD.Titus Vespasian was neither a prince or an Arab.
The title of prince was referring to his position as leader of his people. I do not see anything that says that the prince would be Arab.
No, a prince is a prince. Leaders are called Kings by the Holy Spirit in scripture. And he must be an Arab because the Roman legions who laid siege in Jerusalem and burned the temple were Arab-Roman legions. The Emperor didn't march 4 legions to Jerusalem from Rome.
The Hebrew that is translated as "prince" is Strong's #5057 and means "commander".
Can you show Scripture for this prince being Arab?
"So Vespasian sent his son Titus [who], came by land into Syria, where he gathered together the Roman forces, with a considerable number of auxiliaries from the kings in that neighborhood" (Flavius Josephus, The Complete Works of Josephus, The Wars of the Jews or The History of the Destruction of Jerusalem, Book III, Chapter 1, Paragraph 3).
"Malchus also, the king of Arabia, sent a thousand horsemen, besides five thousand footmen, the greatest part of which were archers; so that the whole army, including the auxiliaries sent by the kings, as well horsemen and footmen, when all were united together, amounted to sixty thousand" (Flavius Josephus, The Complete Works of Josephus, The Wars of the Jews or The History of the Destruction of Jerusalem, Book III, Chapter 4, Paragraph 20).

I never said your problem was "calling on the name of the Lord", rather it is your insistence that you have to use his name in English, or he won't know that you're calling on him.

Actually, what it rejects are invalid baptisms. Yours is rejected by the church because it was taken in a manner to intentionally reject the trinity, rendering it invalid.

Reckart IS a hillbilly pastor, by the definition of those words, and by where he was born and raised. You apparently don't like that, but telling the truth isn't slander and you can't be bigoted towards a single individual -- the term is in regards to groups of people, like Reckart's bigoted remarks toward the Jews, and his expressed hatred towards the UPC, Trinitarians, and pretty much everyone who disagrees with him.

It does not say that in the Septuagint, which Jesus quoted from.
Daniel9:26 And after the sixty-two weeks, the anointed one shall be destroyed, and there is no judgment in him: and he shall destroy the city and the sanctuary with the prince that is coming: they shall be cut off with a flood, and to the end of the war which is rapidly completed he shall appoint the city to desolations.

We can add lying about what we teach to the list.
Jesus is His correct name, you have not provided evidence otherwise. It does not need to be pronounced perfectly, just close enough that God knows that you are calling on Him. (Source)
The Catholic Church calls any baptism without the words Father, Son, Holy Spirit/Ghost, and baptize invalid.
You are bigoted towards people born in those two areas and against Christian Jews.

I don't see how it matters what version Christ quoted from, it matters what Daniel wrote in the original. The LXX is a Greek translation of the Hebrew original.

That was you, saying that you "have to use his name in English, or he won't know that you're calling on him", back in February.
The Catholic Church calls any baptism without the words Father, Son, Holy Spirit/Ghost, and baptize invalid.
Incorrect. What matters is not the pronunciation of the words, but the intent behind the words. You have said in the past that the intent is not what matters, it is the pronunciation.
For example, this is a proper baptismal formula for the Catholic Church: "Ich taufe dich im Namen des Vaters und des Sohnes und des Heiligen Geistes." There's no "Father", "Son" or "Holy Spirit" in there, but because the intent is for a Trinitarian baptism, that's what matters.
You are bigoted towards people born in those two areas and against Christian Jews.
No, I am not. As I said before, you don't seem to understand the concept of bigotry.

The Septuagint is the most correct that we have. There are no Hebrew originals.

So are you now rejecting your prior claims that baptisms not done with the name Jesus, pronounced "gee-zus", a pronunciation of the name that did not exist until the English language was formed, are invalid baptisms?
Well, we're making headway, I guess.
Up next, "hot tub baptisms". Valid or not?

Have you never heard of the Dead Sea Scrolls before? Daniel didn't speak Greek. Daniel was written in Hebrew and Aramaic.
