What is truth?

[Jim B]

never apologize!

there were some independent abuses yes but it is a sound practice truth must be defended and error condemned and there still is the holy office of the inquisition

Never apologize? That is one of the dumbest things I have ever read, here or anywhere else. Are you (or your Pope or any other person) infallible?

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 warned me about you and offered the mosque as a place of refuge and protection when (not if) you return to your violent Inquisitional ways. I don’t think you will, but - as you point out, the office is still there - I’ve never forgotten the Imam’s warning and offer of protection.

I’m a Christian who is a Jewish monotheist - not a Muslim, nor a Roman Catholic.

My theological antagonist (the Muslim) offers me sanctuary. My theological antagonist (the Roman Catholic) offers me Inquisition.

I love irony.

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

 

[theefaith]

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

no love without truth

 

[Matthias]

no love without truth

Nothing says “I love you” like devices of torment, torture, death and destruction.

the truth marches on!

Truth is immutable and matters!

the church is the spotless bride

there are no Christians accept Catholics Jn 10:15 one new covenant

don’t forget to ask them how many Catholics they murdered at fez? The red fez hat is red cos of the blood of the martyrs

enough to tell you the truth and that in a Christian kingdom you’re not permitted to teach heresy

Come out of her.

 

[theefaith]

Come out of her.

Jn 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

there is more than one new covenant church? Jn 10:16

The RCC is not.

 

[Matthias]

there are no Christians accept Catholics…

See the “Catholics aren’t Christians” crowd. You’re operating on their level.

Jn 10:15 one new covenant

That’s right.

don’t forget to ask them how many Catholics they murdered at fez? The red fez hat is red cos of the blood of the martyrs

They don’t equate killing their enemies with loving them. It’s disturbing to me that you personally do, or might.

What difference does it make if they torture and kill me or you do?

 

[Matthias]

enough to tell you the truth …

History deniers aren’t telling the truth.

…and that in a Christian kingdom you’re not permitted to teach heresy

I presume you’re speaking about nations where Catholicism is the state religion. History documents how they dealt with those who didn’t or wouldn’t embrace Catholicism. Islam does the same.

 

[theefaith]

The RCC is not.

who’s you’re bishop?

 

[Matthias]

Jn 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

there is more than one new covenant church? Jn 10:16

A conversation between two Jews, not two Roman Catholics.

why were people subject to the inquisition?

heresy is treason against God!

 

[Matthias]

heresy is treason against God!

In your religion are heretics tares among the wheat? They are in mine (Matthew 13:24-30).

 

[theefaith]

Your not mentioning all history

what about the thousands of Catholics murdered in the English so called reformation?

more by the French Protestants?

or the Irish persecutions?

 

[Matthias]

why were people subject to the inquisition?

Various reasons.
