(pointer;4379) So why did you say you could find no difference? The theological difference is great. The laws are the same. The gospels are the same. Genesis is the same. How did protestants decide which books to take out?(pointer;4379) Loving one's enemies, turning the other cheek, generosity...

Figures the beast would be a woman. (Jenn4God;4378) And it says, "With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication." If you look back in history you will see that almost every king has had political, economic or religious ties with the Vatican, starting with Constantine the Great...

(pointer;4375) The Catholic version contains 'Deuterocanonical' books in its Old Testament that are not found in the Protestant version. Any Catholic 'Bible' (it's not really a Bible, imv) contains them. Protestants paid no attention to Catholic ideas about what was divinely inspired. It would...

(SwampFox;4369) Where would you draw this from? Perhaps Christ came and said for us to follow the laws of the Tanakh only. Perhaps the same corrupt priests wanted to absolve the law because they knew they couldn't follow it and wanted an easy way out? Maybe everything Jesus said in the Bible was...

(ROS777;4349) If you want to eat lobster then go ahead. I want to be healthy so I voluntarily try to follow the health laws. I use to eat shellfish but then again I'm not as healthy as I use to be and I wonder if what I've eaten in the past, ie ham, lobster, etc. has caused problems. Care to...

So what? Bill Gates in ASCII sums 666.If you take my name, and translate every letter to the number 10, sum them and then multiply it by some number you get: 666 Am I the anti christ? :eek: Sorry, just seems a waste of time trying to find patterns and summing numbers in a completely illogical...

(kriss;4333) I disagree here some with pointer to be a Christain you must live by the Gods Law of the ten commandments and except Christ all other ordinance laws of the Old Testament can either be forgiven by repentance in Christs name or were fullfilled in the death on the cross Swampfox has...

(pointer;4303) Christians don't follow any laws at all (except civil laws, of course). Christians love, because they are loved, because they are forgiven. Everything they do is done with love in mind (or should be). So they want the best for others, whatever that may be. Mr. Falwell disagrees...

(pointer;4302) See #2. How does a Catholic explain that it took a Roman emperor, who had the nerve to designate himself a bishop, and call himself 'the thirteenth apostle', to bring about the Catholic Bible? I don't know how a catholic explains it. Thats how it was done. I've been asking over...

(SwampFox;4292) The important thing to recognize here is the phrase "abomination unto you" is there for a reason. When God outlined these specific things not to eat or do, it was for good reason. Many of the unclean animals are very poisonous, especially in the time period. Take hogs for...

(SwampFox;4293) What the Catholics do and what they believe is a result of all sorts of conferences and writings of man. Is what protestants believe not the result of this also? And how can one come to believe that the writings of catholics are somehow less worthy or divinely inspired than those...

(kriss;4285) No Skeptik it is not although Catholics believe in the Christain bible they have their own that they prefer and they are different perhaps you would find my last post on the following thread enlightinghttp://www.christianityboard.com/right-rel...t768.html?t=768 Could someone please...

(SwampFox;4237) As a Christian I think you have to believe in divine guidance to some degree or another; otherwise why even believe if this benevolent God cannot even give us a book that tells us what to do? Does it really come to that? What about the rejected gospels? And how come the present...

(pointer;4236) The content of the Protestant Bible has never been unilaterally laid down, and people other than Roman Catholics can have any canon they like. How come? Isn't the christian bible the same as the roman catholic?

What do you think about how the present bible came to be?I'm sure you are all familiar with the Council of Nicaea, a gathering of priests and bishops in A.D. 325, motivated by the roman emperor Constantine to compile an "official" book for christianity. It was in that council that it was...

Hello all,I've recently joined this forum with the hope of talking about a few things that have been troubling me about exactly this topic. Bible interpretation.For example, (SwampFox) There are some parts, obviously, that should be interpreted literally such as "Thou shalt not..." or "... is an...
