"I feel like saying something that may sound controversial or even heretical. But there is someone who knows that despite our differences we are one. It is he who is persecuting us. It is he that is persecuting Christians today; he who is anointing us with the blood of martyrdom, knows that Christians are disciples of Christ. That we are one, that we are brothers! He doesn't care if they are Evangelicals, Orthodox, Lutherans, Catholics or Apostolic. He doesn't care! They are Christians."
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
Mindreading is a form of making it personal.
Like that would be unusual.......
...”the Scriptures provided for you by the Catholic church”....
God gave us his word....if any deserve credit it would be the Jews silly.
I knew you were going to say that.
Your post #742 is being removed.
Making assumptions (mindreading) and a nasty personal attack.
In a discussion between persons of various Christian denominations and Catholics, why do you insist on posting inane teachings of a heretical non-christian group of misguided pagans...??????
Who, in this group, cares what Mormans teach??
Be it done unto me according to thy word.
It's for everybody....some are a lot more confident in its' outcome...but noone IS CERTAIN.
Quick too!!! .
You can always say, bring your mom out here and then we'll discuss it........ .
Stop making personal comments or leave the thread.
Posting as if you know another posters mind better than they do is mindreading and is making it personal.
God gave us His word through the Catholic church...the Jews have NOTHING to do with the new testament...
What nasty personal attack....he said that once he was sober, he made different judgements than he did while intoxicated....I accuse him of nothing ...I have no idea of what your problem is with this port.
Oh good grief, do you really suppose that these regulars are that sensitive????......O.K.
Didn't Judge Dredd (Stallone) say that? 😊😆😂
“you read the Scriptures provided for you by the Catholic church...the Catholics who wrote them”
Mindreading. Not every belief system believes what yours believes. You telling another poster that they read scriptures “provided for you by the Catholic Church” is mindreading. Different belief systems have different views on the origin of the Scriptures.
If you want to comment on somebody’s sobriety, quote more of what they said. We do not read every post.

Discuss the issues, do not make it personal.
There were three major events which made it possible for the Dark Ages to be shattered by the light of the Bible to shine throughout the European Continent and then spread to England. First, Johan Gensfleisch zum Gutenberg invented moveable type to be used with the printing press.
The second event was the downfall of Constantinople to the Muslims in 1454. The result was that many Greek scholars had to flee to Europe with their precious manuscripts, including their Greek New Testament manuscripts. Many of them took positions in the great European universities and there was a renaissance of ancient learning, including the teaching of the Greek language. When combined with the invention of the moveable type printing press, this multiplied the availability of books.
The third and final event that facilitated releasing the vice grip grasp of the Roman Church on the world was Erasmus Desiderius Roterodamus’ collecting New Testament manuscripts and for the first time ever, publishing all 27 of the New Testament manuscripts in one book in 1516. In one column is the Greek New Testament text accompanied by Erasmus’ own new Latin translation, and then this was followed by Erasmus’ notes, giving his comments on the text. His translation of the Greek into Latin showed just how corrupt that Latin Vulgate really was. Between the years 1516 and 1535 Erasmus published five editions of the Greek New Testament.
It is from Erasmus’ 1522 Greek New Testament that William Tyndale produced the first printed Bible in English.
