Why should I even consider the claims of the "gxd" of a religion that claims that Genesis is a fraud?
If your eyes weren't so blinded you'd see the irony in your criticizing mormons.
Yeah, I saw that. Can’t figure out why the guy is here if he really believes that.
And the hypocritical b@st@rds who insist one must become a higher critic and an evolutionist in order to be Catholic let Eskimos and Indians keep their totem poles.
Considering that liturgical chrstianity has been rabidly opposed to the Jewish ritual and ceremony for two thousand years, it's no wonder that they would wind up forbidding the stories as well.
2) The person must have full knowledge of what they are doing.
3) The act must be intentional.
Wrong. God tells us in His word that there is unintentional sin.
James 2:8-11 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. 9 But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it. 11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
Leviticus 4:1-3 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the people of Israel, saying, If anyone sins unintentionally in any of the Lord's commandments about things not to be done, and does any one of them, 3 if it is the anointed priest who sins, thus bringing guilt on the people, then he shall offer for the sin that he has committed a bull from the herd without blemish to the Lord for a sin offering.
Leviticus 4:13-14 13 “If the whole congregation of Israel sins unintentionally and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they do any one of the things that by the Lord's commandments ought not to be done, and they realize their guilt, 14 when the sin which they have committed becomes known, the assembly shall offer a bull from the herd for a sin offering and bring it in front of the tent of meeting.
Leviticus 4:22-23 “When a leader sins, doing unintentionally any one of all the things that by the commandments of the Lord his God ought not to be done, and realizes his guilt, 23 or the sin which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a goat, a male without blemish,
Leviticus 4:27-28 27 “If anyone of the common people sins unintentionally in doing any one of the things that by the Lord's commandments ought not to be done, and realizes his guilt, 28 or the sin which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has committed.
Matter of fact, there are so many other verses addressing unintentional sin, here is a link to the keyword *unintentional*.

Why is it that Catholics can believe in Masonic conspiracies but can't believe that Genesis is historically accurate? That's just plain crazy.
With all the lawyers he has on the payroll he may have trademarked or copyrighted that or something.
It does seem to be endemic, does it not?
How do you like this assessment of FR?
editor-surveyor’s tagline (Freepers: Not as smart as I’d hoped they’d be)
The chata't (sin offering) atones only for unintentional sins. It does not atone for any intentional sin. Not one.
Now I realize that you and I are worlds apart on what we believe, metmom, but you do realize that you're arguing with people here who deny pages of Divinely-mandated battles and killings because according to Catholic philosophy a "good G-d" can't be "a big meanie?"
This is where natural law gets you.
“In Narses’ view “about” pages must pass the modesty test now?”
Still incomprehensible.
God never smited a man who didn’t need smitin’.
Can’t we all just get along?
“I knew you’d say something cruel. “
Mind reading now?
I can, easily. I wasn’t the poster who called FR posters names nor originally pinged you.

And you prove it dozens of times a day.
Let me get this straight, Jesus Christ is an impostor and Christians are all dupes because Jesus Christ thinks Genesis is a fraud?
What makes you think Jesus Christ who IS the Word thinks Genesis is a fraud?
I wasn’t placing blame. Just quoting some famous line. Maybe we should all lighten up, Francis.
