Not based on prejudice, ignorance, or blindness.....it is based on love. I am not saying that the Catholic Church has not made improvements and it needs to continue, but there are things now that are kicking its tail. The improvements is how the Catholic Church has become a better Church.

Yes. Lets say that I am willing to go that extra mile to save a friend from going to hell. Sometimes violence is evil. But Christ was not evil for chasing the money changers from the temple with a knoted rope. What is the reason for the violence....?

Ok which one am I pretend is not there?

Write the Pope? Probably not a bad idea. But I am not a liberal by any means.

Centuries of atrocities? First off you cannot lump Protestants into one church. But if you want to discuss it....feel free. Do you think they had a manual on how to torture women? Malleus Maleficarum.... Torturing and killing millions of people....do you think you can find that in Protestant...

I do not believe people are holy only God. Like I said skin em alive! And what Protestants do is evil and what the Catholics do is evil. But the Protestants do not have a centuries old system for cover ups. And when it comes to Nuns...a system that has control of them.....as the Pope has...

As far as I am concerned they should be skinned alive. But no church should try to cover it up and spend money to keep them out of prison or settle lawsuits. The Bible did not exist when the scriptures were written....Duh! One of the red flags that point to false beliefs is if a theological...

Well I am glad its the children that are holy. Can you find where the Bible says the Apostles are holy? So all Christians are holy....that is great! Considering the history of the Catholic Church and all the lawsuits now.....if does not look like self control is part of their religion.

LOL Well maybe Priests should give up chocolate instead of sex....probably cause less evil. Your repeated reference to your sexual fetish for chocolate figurines is disturbing, to say the least . . . WRONG. Paul absolutely used the word “sanctified” in thus discourse (1 Cot. 7:14). And he...

History is not hate. People do not like the truth. And as a Catholic, I am surprised you do not know about this. And it is still going on, if you type....Two nuns come back from Africa pregnant....into a browser you will see dozens of stories about the Church investigating them. Human nature...

I do not know.... I never took the religious attraction to celibacy seriously because I knew it was not workable. And because I know the real reason the Catholic Church started requiring priests to be unmarried and then celibate....funny that it did not happen at the same time. This occurs...

Exactly why I said it. I stay away from the phrase..."You are going to Hell!" Debating is one thing and judging is another.... You will find very few on this forum as tolerant of religious beliefs as I am. Why? Because they are all wrong, so I am not looking for the right ones. I am looking...

There is no indication in the Bible that Yeshua was married.

Christian arguing or debating about beliefs? Was there ever a time that this was not true? They call them Protestants and they call themselves Protestants for a reason......Protest churches. But I can understand if all this offends you or upset you....it they do, don't read these debates...

You are right....it is a matter of tradition that most of the Apostles were single.....some scholars say at the direction of James who was not an apostle but the leader of the Christians at the time. Put Paul talks about it.... 1 Corinthians 9:5 — The New International Version (NIV) 5 Don’t we...

Since you bring this up, it means a couple things. The verse is not addressing divorce.....for one the Christians did not adopt the Jewish process of divorce....letter of divorcement. Secondly it can be referring to the requirement for one wife, not five wives. Not all Christians were...

There is a lot to this verse. You could not be a Jewish religious leader without being married or a widower. This is even true to this day. In the Jewish culture if a man was not married by the time he was 20, it was assumed he was homosexual, if not 30, it was a disgrace on him and his...

First off it is a joke. You have been through a lot.....and hope for the better for you. Sometimes life is a struggle....and sometimes we think marriage is the answer and sometimes it is not.

Yeap you are definitely sanctified....where do we place the stamp!

We need to lay this one to rest.... You can forget about a holy person....as I suspected the Bible does not designate any person holy....no Holy Peter...no Holy Paul....not even Holy Apostles. The Bible speaks of Holy cities but not Rome. Paul calls Christians saints but nothing about horny...
