Then who do you witness to? Believers only?

“You believe in God; believe also in me.” (John 14:1)

I have non-Christian friends and acquaintances who don’t believe it. They’ve acknowledged the apostles believed it is true and that I believe it is true (because I believe their witness) but have gone on to say that believing it is true doesn’t make it true. A handful of them are atheists and...

Yes. I obviously wasn’t there. Their witness is crucial to my faith. What do you think about people in other religions who are willing to die for what they sincerely believe to be true but are false?

Inquisition | Encyclopedia.com See again the Parable of the Wheat and Tares. You don’t sound like, nor do you act like, Jesus. I was just thinking about the Jewish religious authorities turning Jesus over to the Roman government. You’re emulating them - your model is the course of action taken...

“The Inquisition’s here and it’s here to stay!”

I’ve always liked and appreciated irony. Ironically, I have more in common with Catholic Answers, and Catholic scholars who are grounded in history, and with the pope than you do. In 2006 or 2007 I had a brief private meeting with an Imam at Al-Farooq Masjid in Atlanta, at his request. He...

Should we disbelieve and reject their doctrines because they at times in their history and in their zealousness acted like savages?

Inquisition is how you demonstrate your love for your (non-Catholic) neighbors as you love yourself?

The pope apologized for that. But there are Catholics who maintain that he shouldn’t have; that there was no need for an apology. Another papal apology for the Inquisition What is the truth? Protestants also engaged in such activities.

No, I wouldn’t be willing to die for a lie. I would be willing to die for something which I’m absolutely convinced is the truth. Is it the truth just because I’m absolutely convinced that it is?

The Son is a one God man.
