Quantrill, you really want to go with the litmus test that any book in the OT has to be quoted in the NT to be valid? Not only will you find absolutely no precident for such a criteria, but it would disqualify a lot of books. I can't believe you sound intelligent but don't see the obvious flaw in your logic here.
With the same success you can forgive the mirror in your bathroom. I know it is practically impossible for you to believe but the truth is that it has no feeling of hatred. If it is clear you may call it intolerant and put it on ignore or ban it from your bathroom. Now before you join the company whose feelings are hurt by the view they see in the mirror, Let me show you some angles of the teaching. Love a neighbor? How is about Love your enemy…? Easier to say rather than do? If I was filled with hate, anger, intolerance I would never be able to produce such a devastating result among those who has been driven by the latter feelings. I do nothing. You do it all by yourself. I just use the charge you are directing at me… or at those who you think are weaker than you are. This is how it works [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpWILwfqpgw&feature=related"]БеÑконтактный Бой- Вадим Старов - YouTube[/ame] and here it goes: when you, Catholics and atheists organize a bulling everyone can observe on whole two pages http://www.politicalforum.com/religion/203499-bible-protestants-31.html http://www.politicalforum.com/religion/203499-bible-protestants-32.html it is not my fault that everyone despises brainless bullies since school times, even many former bullies do growing up some brain. Come again, what are you forgiving me for? P.S. And don’t worry about generalization, everyone except for brainless bullies understand that I mean only those who have enlisted themselves into bulling and those who feel good such bulling staring at the monitors.
lol The church teaches hatred towards your country? Thats thousands of American Catholics who hate America LOL
Acknowledged with removed books AFTER the Church canonized their OT and NT; in an effort to delegitimize the church and her teachings.
You do a great job at debating. You ignore all proof that you are wrong, with simple sentences as the one qouted. AS if your word has authority. Actually try to disprove someone for once.
lol, you are trying to disprove us. Who have the original set. To legitimize your later revision of the holy text, you need to prove yourself legit. As what was said already. With your strict criteria, we might as well get rid of the prophets who were not qouted, the psalms which were not qouted, as well as Ecclesiat, and many others.
This is Crawdadr a fine example showing that hatred destroys the one who is hating, but not the one who is hated. Ezra came so charged with hatred, predjudgement and resentment that she has demonstrated again that Catholics are so intolerant to any critisim that they "counter attack" those who have not even said a word about Catholics like in the question she quoted. Do you want me to keep on running on her charge to entertain you further or you are coming to senses and I can exersice the same mercy to fallen as I usually do?
What on earth? Catholics are very self critical and they certainly don't teach hatred. What country do you live in?
Hatred and prejudgement? What post did you read? I did nothing but laugh at your accusation and threw in a sarcastic remark. But if youd like to be takin a bit more serious, you might as well start throwing actual facts in, such as proof the church teaches hatred towards your country. Because your baseless accusations and name calling is doing yourself no justice.
I have only one word to say in order to prove total failure of Catholics. Ladies and Gents, I am sorry for been boring and causing the feeling of a dentist machine in you mouth, but it is - Margot. Again, sorry for the inflicted discomfort, ladies and gents. It's over.
Any question mark is perceived by Catholics as 1. accusation 2.against Catholics. I am afraid ladies and gents the word I tortured you with in my previous post has a competition.
What the hell are you going on about now? Has nothing to do with a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing question mark; but what you said.
You are not a Catholic, you are a proof that Catholics have the same vision and perception as Margot does.
The guy is certainly getting on my last nerve. He speaks with more prejudice, then with intelligence.
Don't let it get to you. He's got some screwy vision of all Catholics... that he has to hang on to for some reason.
Be sure. I was responding to a the claim the a reference was made to the Apocrypha in Hebrews. Which I said it wasn't. The quote from Acts shows that Paul referenced pagan poets, yet this does not make their writings Scripture. The point is that I saw nothing in Hebrews that referred to the Apocrypha. But even if there had been, that would not have made the Apocrypha Scripture. Quantrill
This of course, is a good point. Regardless of whether or not Maccabees is inspired by God, it is part of Jewish history, so Paul had more reason to quote Maccabees than pagan poets.
No--again, you miss the point. Willful ignorance is still ignorance, in fact, it's worse than simple ignorance. Good day.
