Hi, An inquisition (intensive questioning or investigation to prevent heresy) is a good thing. Killing or torturing those that don't agree with you is a bad thing. Preventing heresy (belief contrary to Christian doctrine teaching) is a good thing. It is what God wants us to do: 1 John 4:1, 2...

Hi Miss Hepburn, The feel of his (Bishop Sheen) hands? What does that mean? Was it a bad time for the Protestant churches also? I agree. You don't have to be a scholar to know your Christian history: Protestant Persections Calvin's Victims - The Protestant Inquisition I - Atheist Resource...

Hi, Is this discussion about the inquisition conducted by the Catholic Church or are we discussing inquisition's in general? In general the way the inquisition's were handled was a stain (blood red stain) on Christianity. There were some bad men who did some bad things in the name of...

Hi aspen, How did A&E hide from absolute truth? Eve actually ate the forbidden fruit so that her eyes would be opened. She was thinking that she would be like God, knowing good and evil. She thought it would make her wise. She was hoping to be like God. It does not appear they were hiding from...

Hi, First off thank you for this thread. POSSIBILITY of absolute truth? What does that make scripture? Possibly true? We know there is absolute truth and that is absolutely true. It is accessible, obtainable and knowable. It is called scripture. Are you suggesting God gave us the Truth but...

Hi Job, Where does scripture say that we, as an individual, can posses "absolute truth"? If it is in scripture, I am not familiar with it. Thank you in advance....Mary

Hi Aspen, The answer is in a question: Is it absolutely true there is no absolute truth? Mary

LOL....Who decides the "deeper understanding" and if there is a "profound meaning" in scripture? Isn't all of that subjective? Curious Mary

Hi BG, Are you saying it is absolutely true there is no absolute truth. o_O If there is no absolute truth then scripture isn't true. Right? If God's message is so clear then why is there so much division in Christianity about the Truth of scripture? Confused Mary

Hi BG, You read scripture aloud, don't comment upon it and don't tell anyone what it means. I read scripture aloud, don't comment upon it and don't tell anyone what it means. Fiftey other people read scripture aloud, don't comment upon it and don't tell anyone what it means. All 52 of us...

Hi, Are you saying that according to biblical law once one is married they are to have children with their spouse? (presuming they don't have a medical condition to prevent pregnancy) Mary

Ok.....my 50 people examined scripture every day to see if what OzSpen was teaching was true and your 50 people examined scripture every day to see if what Marymog was teaching is true. We still disagree. How do we determine who is right? The most noble ones? :D Who decides the most noble ones...

Hi, Really? God gave us Scripture (the Truth) by revelation to human beings BUT God doesn't use human beings to properly interpret that Truth? Did He reveal to us what scripture actually is (63 or 72) or are we allowed our own interpretation of that also? If no one knows The Truth of...

Hi Oz, We should put binding and loosing in full context: I will give you (Peter) the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." The keys Jesus was referring to are referenced in Isaiah...

Hi tabletalk, I agree with you that fallible people decide what is absolute truth. Fallible men gave us infallible scripture AND what books belong in that scripture. So my question to you is: If God gave us infallible scripture via fallible men then why wouldn't He also have given fallible men...

Hi Stranger, I believe Christ was telling us how hard, but not impossible, it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God. It is possible that the wealthy AND those that don't sell all they have to be saved because with God all things are possible. IHS....Mary

Thank you.

Hi OZ...My response to you is in red; your statements are in black. I am reposting this since I can't find where you responded to it. The last several paragraphs are the most pressing for me. Here is a list of some contradictions between The Protoevangelium of James and the Bible (from, Is the...

Hi Oz, Not raising it to cause a stir my good friend. Just using specific questions that lead to logical answers to prove that sola scriptura is not in the bible. I agree with you. God gave us the truth (scripture) via human beings that were carried along by the Holy Spirit. They put the truth...

Thank You.
