    Why Christianity?

    Martyrs are people who were killed by their persecutors because of their religion. These martrys had everything to lose and nothing to gain. The Christians in Rome were Roman citizens. They were not at war with Rome. They were not up in arms fighting any rebellion or resistance. It was...

    Why Christianity?

    Those were during the Saxon wars when the king invaded the country. They were at war and the rebels were captured and killed. Not the same as the Christian martyrs who were not at war. A large majority of the Saxons converted......not the same as the Christians. A large majority of the...

    Why Christianity?

    And who were those who were murdered?? Where are their names? The Christian martyrs are recorded. There are no pagan martyrs.

    Why Christianity?

    My friend, if you had read more into history, you would have known that the Saxons chose to convert rather than give up their life for their pagan religions....unlike the Christians who chose death. Didn't you know that the Apostles spread Christianity so quickly. It was because the Gentiles...

    Why Christianity?

    I did read it. You gave the same excuse that the gay activists gave me. They also told me that gay marriages were very common in ancient times, but it was just not recorded. Julian the Apostate was killed by an enemy, and I can't even find Olvir of Egg on the Internet. Never heard of him...

    Why Christianity?

    The names of many of the Christians martyrs were recorded. Names such as Ignatius, Polycarp, Paul, Peter, and many others were recorded by Christians and feasts were honored in their name, which the Church carried in her traditions. It is a well-known historical fact that Christians were being...

    Why Christianity?

    According to history, there are unsure of her death. One report says that she was murdered Nitrian monks while another account says that she was murdered by an Alexandrian mob. (See the weblink below). http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/history/Biographies/Hypatia.html As to why she...

    Why Christianity?

    Of course, His followers would make those records. Yet, the fact that you consider them of little worth is not surprising to me when taken into account your bias of the Christian religion and lack of objectivity.. The fact that the Christian religion exists since the first century is testimony...

    Is God more than the Bible?

    And where in my post did I ever say or even ellude to saying that the written word is not all inspired by God??

    This seems somewhat hypocritical, does it not?

    No, a lawyer does not represent the religious beliefs of his/her client. If I hired a lawyer because I'm being sued, my lawyer does not represent my religious beliefs and should not even speak of my religious beliefs. He should only speak of the case in which I am being sued on. The Catholic...

    This Is Inexcusable

    You asked for proof about some of seminarians in the U.S., and I gave you that proof. This has nothing to do with the Host turning into the Body of Christ.

    This seems somewhat hypocritical, does it not?

    A vast majority of people already knows that the Catholic Church is against abortion. They have been so outspoken about it. They already know that the Catholic Church stand has always been that life begins at conception. Of course, the hospital is going to let lawyers defend them......isn't...

    This seems somewhat hypocritical, does it not?

    So, you know that Catholic teaching doesn't change regardless of how some of her members sometimes go against those teachings. What does it make you saying that it was the Catholic Hospital who made the statement, when in fact it was their lawyer? Isn't it also hypocracy to make the claim that...

    This seems somewhat hypocritical, does it not?

    And why should they even say anything??? The lawyer has a job to do, so why not let the lawyer do his job??

    This seems somewhat hypocritical, does it not?

    Typical hatefilled people. They can't even see that the lawyer was citing State Law instead of Church doctrine. It does not even matter who they hire. The FACT is Colorado's state law does say that a "person" is defined as one who is already born. So, whoever they hire is going to go into a...

    This seems somewhat hypocritical, does it not?

    Actually, it was never the Catholic hospital who stated that fetuses are not persons. It was the hospital's lawyers that made that statement. The title of your article is very misleading. If people only look at the title and did not read the entire article, they would go away thinking that it...

    Why Christianity?

    "Heaven gates" were never martyrs. You cannot even call them "martyrs. The term martyr is one who dies due to persecution by others for his or her beliefs, not someone who commits suicide nor someone who dies while trying to kill others for their beliefs (such as the Islamic suicide bombers)...

    Why Christianity?

    How do you compare those with the martyrdom of Christians? The Christian's martyrs did not commit suicide. They were told to give up their faith in Jesus Christ or die. Those of the people's Temple, for example, were not martyrs for the faith. In fact, they were not martyrs at all. Suicide...

    Why Christianity?

    There are no historical records of anyone willingly giving up their life for any man-made pagan god. Instead, we have records of human sacrifices made to pagan gods, and these human sacrifices were unwilling victims who were captured from other tribes, chosen ones chosen by lot, or children...
