Philadelphia takes in millions in civil forfeiture, 72 million from 02 to 2014. this is more than any other city in the US. I think the most common seizure is the cops just take what ever cash they can find, but these days its becoming much more common for people to lose their cars and homes...

you know Junípero is old latin for Jupiter. they had a statue of Zeus out there!!! its a Vaticano conspiracy death match! ok im just messing with you guys.

what was wrong with the translation? did he tell people to turn away from Jesus and bow down to fallen angels?

i dont think he means it was removed from the canon, i think what he means is that the church spread false information about a book they didnt want people to read. what does the bible say about bearing false witness?

you really think that in the entire Christian world, only the church leaders knew how to read? who told you this? but lets say this is correct, in your twilight zone world, where only the church leaders knew how to read, wouldnt it be on their shoulders to teach others how to read?

are you saying that Enoch was once scripture but later removed? i remember the roman church teaching against it for many years. their argument was that it was totally made up and not written until 900-1100s. eventually the people accepted this as fact, then the DSS were found in the 1940s and...

so the book was of darkness yet it produced people of light. does that make sense? and the ones saying it was of darkness were in fact living examples of darkness. and what did Jesus say about teachers and the fruit they produce?

responses like this usually means i am correct. thats what i just said, the leaders did not want the common people to read.

well the people that kept the Gospel of Thomas sure didnt act like they were from the bowels from hell. the example they sat were devoted followers of Jesus.

not nonsense, that was a real thing. the roman church would not allow bibles in peoples common language until the 1100s. pope Innocent iii even forbid private readings like Jesus did on the outskirts of town. the church always maintained the people were not smart enough to read scripture for...

why is it from darkness? if the Alexandrian Christians had burned people alive, went on crusades, tortured people, and all the rest, ya know, like the roman Christians, would you consider it then?

i dont know what that means?

i get what your saying brother, just wanted to be sure you understood my point.

it has James as leader of the church and that went against roman politics so it had to go. history as well as the bible agree with Thomas that James was the leader after Jesus.

i never said anything about churches needing to be perfect. my point is we should question all things and always try to be better. IMO there are to many that think the status quo of the faith is fine, when i read about thousands of innocent people being killed on orders from the church, that...

the "through Jesus" thing is one of the most misused passages ever. "Judge them by their fruits" is probable the most ignored. with this logic you can take an event like the massacre of Amritsar where British troops murdered 500 innocent people and claim the British will go to heaven because...

i understand. but, much of this still goes on today. if you let it go, turn a blind eye, nothing will ever change. shouldnt we try to be better that that.

sorry but i will never condone the wrongdoings of such evil people.

did Jews have canaanite statues in front of the temple?
