🤢 FAGGOT-GATE 🤢
Wait, the same church that burned people alive for possessing the scriptures themselves? The one which only allowed their interpretation and tortured / murdered anybody who had a different view? The one who falsified manuscripts in order to change the Word of God to fit their narratives? Codex Sinaiticus?
yes we fundamentally disagree fren. But you knew that, coy fren :p
Sheeeeeit, what have I caused!
A holy war of grand proportions!
Though, hopefully tensions die down and it just turns in to a bog-standard dispute among quibbling frens :)
Point of inflection!
Looks like you've caused someone to jump to the defense of a bunch of pedophiles because they share the same religious beliefs. 🤷♀️
I guess if there are fewer pedophiles in your church than there are in the public schools, then it's ok? Though I'm still wondering where he's getting his numbers here.
See, you simply hate the Catholic Church.
It has nothing to do with pedophilia, because you flippantly dismiss the public school issue and continue to act like the Church is a special case.
Also, you're a slanderous liar just like the Devil. The charge of defending pedophiles is serious, and I have done no such thing.
And don't think your straw man has gone unnoticed.
So it's ok to think people should hate The Satanic Temple because one of their members is accused of pedophilia? And that it's not surprising that someone from the Satanic Temple would do that, because they're evil.
Seriously, dude, you just keep making my points for me.
I'm going to point out once again that The Satanic Temple are trolls who loooove pointing out hypocrisy among Christians. Christians and Catholics, I should say, since it's not clear if Catholics are "real" Christians, since many Protestants claim they are not.
No such cases.
And I used to buy all the Codex Sinaiticus stuff, but then I realized that the only authority with which I can claim the Textus Receptus to be inspired/correctly translated is my own. And I am of course not the authority on scripture. No offense intended, but Protestants display every day why they possess no authority. God evidently did not intend for us to use personal interpretation.
But I digress. The manuscript stuff was also completely unsourced and from what I could find invented by some pastor in the mid to late 1900s (correct me if I'm wrong). Obviously these different manuscripts exist, but no one gave a flying shit about them until like 20 minutes ago. I guess virtually all Christians since Christ have been living a lie and God waited until circa 1950 to fix it
And the Dead Sea Scrolls confirm that the Bible has not been changed.
Also, Codex Sinaiticus is a piece of trash... literally. It was in the bin so long that the Catholic Church couldn't have possibly used it for doctrine. I don't use it or anything based on it.
you can't be serious
Maybe if you tone down the hyperbole we can entertain the notion, but as presented, no such cases.
Here's a question: Should people who not only worship Satan, but actively doom people to Hell by deceiving them deserve the death penalty? Religious freedom is all good and dandy until your population is filled with a subversive Satanist element that hates you and wants to destroy your faith in God grace.
This notably is not related to people simply... checks notes... reading the Bible.

This dispels plenty of myths and is not explicitly pro-Catholic. It appears to be seeking to, as the name implies, bridge Catholics and Protestants and takes a neutral position. At least, as neutral as you can be when the theme of the article is dispelling myths about Catholicism. The site talks about Christian unity (as far as I can tell, I just found it).
Not a human death penalty as this crime is not lawfully codifiable. How many genocidal maniacs have operated their crime syndicates under such a banner??
Indeed, and at that stage they have stepped outside of God's grace and entered into the realm of national laws; or else tell me a crime they are guilty of which is not already codified against?
Thank you, I'll check this out. I am fairly new to the revelation of who Mystery Babylon is and what her daughters look like, so I appreciate these debates and new info. It'll either confirm or deny things I'm trying to piece together. Godbless. I'll get back to you 👊
Hmm, it does seem this author got something wrong.
Conveniently the very one where the Papacy turned against the Knights Templar. Interestingff

Add to these many others: monks, nuns, monasteries, convents, forty days Lent, holy week, Palm Sunday, Ash Wednesday, All Saints day, Candlemas day, fish day, meat days, incense, holy oil, holy palms, Christopher medals, charms, novenas, and still others.
There you have it—the melancholy evidence of Rome’s steadily increasing departure from the simplicity of the Gospel, a departure so radical and far-reaching at the present time that it has produced a drastically anti-evangelical church. It is clear beyond possibility of doubt that the Roman Catholic religion as now practiced is the outgrowth of centuries of error. Human inventions have been substituted for Bible truth and practice. Intolerance and arrogance have replaced the love and kindness and tolerance that were the distinguishing qualities of the first century Christians, so that now in Roman Catholic countries Protestants and others who are sincere believers in Christ but who do not acknowledge the authority of the pope are subject to all kinds of restrictions and in some cases even forbidden to practice their religion. The distinctive attitude of the present day Roman Church was fixed largely by the Council of Trent (1545-1563), with its more than 100 anathemas or curses pronounced against all who then or in the future would dare to differ with its decisions.
Think what all of this means! Each of the above doctrines or practices can be pin-pointed to the exact or approximate date at which it became a part of the system. And no single one of them became a part of the system until centuries after the time of Christ! Most of these doctrines and practices are binding on all Roman Catholics, for they have been proclaimed by a supposedly infallible pope or church council. To deny any doctrine or practice so proclaimed involves one in mortal sin.
"
I don't expect you to go through every one of these and I assume there is a complete refutation somewhere...let's focus on the ones in which you agree on the dates?
What if they're not Satanists, but merely people from a different religion or denomination?
Because ultimately, most religions are trying to get people to join them. So if they're trying to get people to give up religion "A" in order to join religion "One" wouldn't many people in religion "A" say they're trying to deceive people and that those people in religion "One" are all going to hell?
Just curious, have you ever heard of the Spanish Inquisition?
