Christian?
Faith writes:
Pat Robertson also thinks Roman Catholicism is Christian. So much for Pat Robertson.
Definitions of Christian, from Merriam-Webster:
1. The religion derived from Jesus Christ, based on the Bible as sacred scripture, and professed by Eastern, Roman Catholic, and Protestant bodies
2. Conformity to the Christian religion
3. The practice of Christianity
Well, it seems to me that the Catholic Church, a religion derived from Jesus Christ, according to doctrine, fits directly into the definition of Christianity. I mean, unless you would like to simply create a new definition of the word?
I find it hislarious how much each different sect of Christianity hates one another...you would totally think that at least one of these groups had heard that whole "Love one another" thing, since it was supposedly Christ who said it...

What does the Buddhist terrorist do? Goes into the middle of the street, takes the gas, *pfft*, Self-Barbecue. The Christian and the Muslim on either side are yelling, "What the Fuck are you doing?" The Buddhist says, "Making you deal with your shit. -Robin Williams-

Re: The Bible does not say death entered because of Adam and Steve
Faith writes:
So you can have Pat over for coffee and congratulate him for his betrayal of the Protestant Reformation in considering Rome who murdered millions of Bible believers down the centuries as "Christian" as so many history-challenged "Protestants" are doing these days. But the Reformers all agreed that Catholicism was Antichrist, not Christian in the slightest but the opposite. Sad how that has been obscured and buried these days. Not that there aren't some individual Catholics who may be Christian -- MAYBE, it's hard inside that institution where the rules are mostly man-made, and when Catholics DO begin to understand the gospel and some of the history of their murdering "Church" they usually exit speedily.
I think that you are holding a little bit of a grudge that is unwarranted. I am quite aware of the history, and quite a bloody history at that, of the Catholic Church as an ex-Catholic. Yet, there is a question I would ask of you. Why are you holding the church responsible for the sins that were done by those in the church hundreds of years ago? If you are willing to hold the current incarnation of the Catholic Church responsible for those past transgressions, then what transgressions of your ancestors should you be held responsible for? As a protestant, there was the reformation and murder of Catholics, so Catholics should hold a grudge against you. Do you live in the US? Well, then you are directly responsible for slavery and Japanese internment. See how absolutely ridiculous the idea of holding current incarnations of institutions responsible for past sins can be? We all become guilty of some crime or another at that point. You are not blameless in this mindset. However, if we look at the church as it is now, not with conspiracy theory goggles on, we see a church who claims its teachings come from Christ...AKA Christian...AKA your brothers and sisters in Christ.

Re: Christian?
I would rather they waste all the money they collect on objects I can actually see, rather than have all of the money be donated and yet the church receives no repairs, there is no finery, and the pastor is driving a really nice sportscar....seems fishy to me.
ABE-Although, personally, I feel that church services should be performed in run down buildings with all of the money collected going to the poor and the less fortunate...you know, the way Jesus stated it should be. But, hey, if the preacher needs an Escalade, please give generously!

Re: Catholicism
ABE - I saw the warning from the Mod after posting this, if you want to continue to discuss this, let's make a topic and have some fun with it. Otherwise, let us stop this here and continue about Pat Robertson.
