The bible was likely a survival book for dummies of it's time. It taught you how to slaughter animals and such without getting food poison. It was then interpreted to be gospel. Sin, heaven , and hell were then invented as a way to control the masses.The Bible is like a library written over thousands of years. It's not meant to ALL be taken literally.
Jesus taught in metaphors, for example. The Bible is full of metaphors.

So the water walking thing wasn't a metaphor? Sounds fishy.The Gospels are biographies of Jesus. They are historically accurate.
I'm talking Mayo Clinic level health-care. You don't skimp on some 900 year old widower.Canadian or American healthcare?![]()
Not if you're one of those cool Jesus lizards.So the water walking thing wasn't a metaphor? Sounds fishy.

Pope Francis calls 'gender ideology' greatest danger of our time
Pope Francis has described "gender ideology" as the greatest danger of current times, arguing that it abolishes differences and makes everything the same. "To abolish differences means to abolish humanity," the leader of the Catholic Church said on Friday during an audience. Instead, man and...www.yahoo.com

But yet you worship him. An imperfect human. You would think he would be an advocate of God's Kingdom, but no he's too busy meddling in the world's affairs both politically and socially. Have you once heard him support the Kingdom of God?He's spoken out against all those. I wonder if his quote was taken out of context?
He's also 87 years old and can't be as sharp mentally as he once was.
Well good for them. Certainly something to flaunt and be proud of.Priests have a lower rate of abuse than public school teachers and the general public.
Just FYI in spite of all the false stereotypes going around.

Separating Facts About Clergy Abuse From Fiction
Quality research and reason need to take precedence over emotion if we truly want to keep children and families safe from sexual abuse in the the Church or anywhere.www.psychologytoday.com
The whole concept of a Pope is bizarre to me.
Yes. My priest doesn’t see me as any different from anyone else. I partake in the sacraments etc etc.Aren't you Greek Orthodox?
The Orthodox churches are against transgender surgery.

Stances of Faiths on LGBTQ+ Issues: Eastern Orthodox Church
Considered the second largest Christian body in the world, the history of the Eastern Orthodox Church can be traced to an unbroken continuity to Jesus Christ and the Twelve Apostles.www.hrc.org
Boom goes the dynamite...well played sirWell good for them. Certainly something to flaunt and be proud of.
I'd love to see Judge Judy cross examine those witnesses. I've see David Blane do some pretty cool stuff, but I'm not going to turn my life over to him.I think Jesus's miracles were all real. It would have been odd for the Gospel writers to just make them up during the lifetimes of the eyewitnesses.
Ah. I wonder if he was Mormon/Jehova's Witness.
I never talk religion anymore unless someone asks me.
It's not effective.

Oh, and I noticed you couldn't help yourself in taking a swipe at JW's knocking on doors....I'm proud to say that we're following our Lord and Saviors command to preach the good news of the kingdom and be" witnesses to the most distant part of the earth."*(Acts 1:8) You're too busy arguing about worldly governments and spewing politics all the while claiming to be a follower of Christ. You may tell people you are a good catholic and all but your participation in starting and/or arguing over politics is a good indicator of where your true loyalty lies. "For out of abundance of the heart the mouth speaks."
Yes. My priest doesn’t see me as any different from anyone else. I partake in the sacraments etc etc.
If the Holy Synod wants to condemn me, then lol @ them too.
Everything isn’t black and white, Brian. I live my life as I see fit.Interesting because your Church teaches what you're doing is wrong but you don't want to follow the teachings.

How often have you seen the church come out on the right side of anything? I'd say they're batting about .0001 right now.Interesting because your Church teaches what you're doing is wrong but you don't want to follow the teachings.

The Pope makes like 4K per month.
Any benefits?
Lol. Your reply is such an elementary way to look at things. Almost naive.You certainly do. It's just interesting why you believe a religion yet don't follow their teachings.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....2,000 years ago, Jesus said to Peter "Upon this rock I build my Church" then Peter went to Rome and was crucified upside down by Nero.
That was the beginning of the Catholic Church.

I'm sure they believe that. But it is still about control. As I said before, life after death is the same as life before birth.I think some churches are right about eternal life.
What could be more important than that?
life after death is the same as life before birth.
