-- The only way that statement should be taken seriously when someone says it is if they can substitute the word "gay" with the word "Christian" and mean it just as sincerely. .

Yeah, I remember Rod Serling talking about you...

-- No offense Meshak, but you are a newcomer. You have no idea who Rachel is, what she believes, or the intimacy of her relationship with Jesus. You are not speaking from any position of knowledge or authority when you talk about what fruits are being produced by whom. I however have been...

-- Interesting indeed. It appears she is actually living what she believes.

Selene, you seem like a reasonable person. But you can't honestly think that Catholics are the only denomination being persecuted in China. Both Catholics AND Protestants are being persecuted: http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2013/february-web-only/persecution-in-china-is-very-real.html...

SIM, you crack me up. You rant and rave and actually call people names on this board and then you bemoan other who all of a sudden "turn into big wads of pretentious loudmouths." Ah, hypocricy at its finest... You keep moving away from posts that successfuly refute claims you make and restort...

-- You don't even know the rules of your own faith. It is a REQUIREMENT for ordination. The candidate for priesthood must make a VOW. If the Catholic church suddenly changes this doctrine, they will be admitting that they were wrong for the last several centuries and that this was not...

"According to Brazil’s 2010 census, 65 percent of the population is Catholic, down from over 90 percent in 1970. Similarly, between 2000 and 2010, the percentage of Mexicans that identify as Catholic dropped from 88 to less than 83 -- the largest fall recorded to date. If these trends persist...

Apparently the growth of the Catholic Church stops at the Rio Grande... http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/139066/omar-encarnacion/the-catholic-crisis-in-latin-america?page=show The Catholic Crisis in Latin America Even an Argentine Pope Can't Save the Church March 19...

Then why not actually add to the discussion instead of throwing out a question and waiting to see what is done with it?

-- "Blowhard moron." Yup, you're a Catholic alright. Your words to your fellow Catholics proud, I'm sure. People like you are the reason that millions of people like me left the Catholic Church. Well, that.....and the thousands of pedophile priests that the church hierarchy refused to address...

-- Yeah, you're ridiculous. The root word of 'Christianity' is 'Christ.' Jesus Christ "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." - Hebrews 13:8 To say that Christianity will "continue to evolve" and be an "even wiser religion" is to question the validity of scripture itself...

-- How does that POSSIBLY excuse torture, false imprisonment and murder within the Catholic Church? It was wrong to the people even then, but they could do nothing about it. Try again.

-- Newsflash! Just because you call yourself something, that doesn't make it so. The very fact that the Klan believes what they does proves they are not a Christian organization. Just like Westboro Baptist Churh that protests at the funerals of servicemembers. And just like someone who claims...

*yawn* How many hundreds if not thousands of instances of similar abuses happened via the Catholic Church even before Luther or Calvin were ever born? For centuries the Catholic church was the ONLY church so to say their actions were SOP for all beliefs is ridiculous. And any abuses that...

-- The Catholic church played fast and loose with the definition of "heresy." While the Inquisition (thankfully) did not succeed, if you were a Catholic during that time you lived in fear and often unfairly ended up in prison, tortured an even killed.

-- "Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment," - Heb. 9:27 Translation: Once you die you face judgment, not rehab.

-- Exactly. -- Arnie's got nothing against women. He thinks everyone should own one ;) (j/k)

Matt. 7:4-5

Oh, so close. I did it God's way. But if your own church says that those who aren't Catholics are saved and will go to heaven if they follow Jesus, you should take your issue up with them. M'kay? Glad I could help. .
