From 2Corinthians 5: 6. So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. 7. For we walk by faith, not by sight. 8. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. It is better to be...

I'm sure your knowledge of history excels mine, but I'm fairly certain that most people in the Catholic lands, in those centuries that the Inquisitions were active, were Catholic. If that is so, then if a Catholic secular ruler executed a heretic because your Church excommunicated him for...

...anyway alas and sadly to be a Catholic eventually mostly ends up in being a blasphemer against the Holy Spirit and that is unforgiveable...

A quote from a critique by John Ellis, about William Paul Young and his 2017 book 'Lies We Believe About God' : "The author of The Shack, Wm. Paul Young is a universalist, a heretic." Here's the link: writer-of-the-shack-wm-paul-young-outs-himself-as-a-heretic

Here's a link, and it is by Dave Armstrong: a150-reasons-why-i-am-catholic-by-dave-armstrong

He (epostle1,aka Dave Armstrong) has debated James White. He has 'thrown the "H" word at me also. Plus "vulgar". Carry on.

This Protestant does not agree that he is a 'separated brethren', from the Catholic Church. I am separated from your Church, not a 'brethren' of it.

Were the 'secular authorities' Catholic? I think so. Since they were killing people who should have only been excommunicated, they themselves should have been excommunicated. Not killed. Your Church approved of the burnings at the stake. I don't think the 'secular authorities' forced your...

The Catholic Church says that Protestants are Christians, separated brethren.

Mother Theresa could simply have meant this: Philippians 3:10 "...that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,..."

Attack is 'of God' also. Swords are for attacking. From Ephesians 6: 17. "And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;.."

It seems as if the Word of God uses excommunication as the Church's harshest penalty. Your Church tortured some heretics, and had many others put to death at the stake, using the secular authority.

I read post#53 and disagree. You said: ""No one", in that passage, refers to people outside the Body of Messiah." It seems obvious to me he is referring to believers.

Instead of using 'the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God' (Eph. 6:17), the Catholic Church used the sword of the secular powers to combat heresy.

From Colossians 2: 14... "having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us." : 16. "So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths,.."

Several commenters on this site do that very thing.

Paul wanted to die. From 2Corinthians 5: 7. For we walk by faith, not by sight. 8. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

From 2Corinthians 4:18... while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Very good post. Thank you.
