If anybody wants to contact me in the future, Hillsage knows where to find me.

No slot open for the answer from my faith: The important part of the message is "Neither do I condemn thee". Jesus, the Son or in contemporary speech idiom "Perfect image of", is telling the woman not to sin because it wouldn't be long before she was back in the same spot with people...

So promotion of Catholicism is not allowed also? Otherwise it is unequal. Serious question. Every word that I write can be interpretted as promotion of my faith. How exactly does this work?

If a person in the Catholic forum posts a catholic sermon, will it be allowed to remain? I once posted a Gnostic Sermon in the unorthodox forum and it was removed as being against the rules. ARE THE RULES EQUAL NOW?

This isn't about me or your superstitions. It's about your demeaning statement and arrogant attitude that pervades it. Stay on topic. I and I'm sure many others would like a resolution. I hold nothing but disdain for bigotry and ignorance, but that does not mean I love you less as a...

Those were serious questions. Since you have claimed Nicene groupie superiority to other Christians IN YOUR STATEMENT WHICH WE ARE DISCUSSING,( Christian Forums holds your beliefs to be Unorthodox and in error. ) you shoud be knowledgable and eager to answer them. It is PRECISELY your...

Looks like there were only three who had in intestinal fortitude not to compromise their position with Rome. Who were they? What was their faith? Why would they refuse to compromise?

LOL Look, do a little study. The doctrine of the trinity was inserted into the text AFTER it became church dogma. Just ONE example: and you can look it up yourself in the Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics: "The facts are, in summary, that Eusebius quotes Matthew 28:19 twenty one times...

Well there it is Hillsage. You should be a moderator, and I've told you so before.

Maybe. However, I was under the mistaken impression that it was a "Christian" forum, which to me means "all Christians". Instead, it's a veiled Nicene country club, whose members consider those Christians who are not Nicene groupies to be "in error", which is disengenuous at best and...

Then what part has been "interpretted"? You are making me feel like a dentist.

Adapted means "changed". Are you sure that's the word you want to use?

So it's not the REAL Nicene creed?

Simon Magus was a thinly disguised Paul.

So now we aren't Christians? Oh, my, I think I will renounce my faith, go on a killing spree, repent and become a Baptist! My standards are Jesus' standards, thank you so much for pointing out our differences. And yeah, "Christian" means all Christians, and not just those that believe in...

Maybe you should remember what you wrote: "Some of those who hold Unorthodox beliefs may consider this a double standard. Yes, it is. Christian Forums holds your beliefs to be Unorthodox and in error. You have the protection of civility and charity and fair moderation of complaints. You do...

Not going to happen, though I wish it would. The statement is a classic case of orthodox "we have to be right because we believe we are, therefore we can do whatever we want to you" hypocricy that has followed it for centuries complete with horns and a tail. It doesn't take a genious to figure...

Both sides. Religious "truth" is a perception of reality, and percieved reality is subjective. Objective reality will never be found in a religion---that's why it's called "faith" and not "fact". I don't believe I have ever been "silent" about that ;) What does it matter what Judaism...

I don't listen to anti-semetical garbage. That doesn't mean that I acknowledge that any of their religion is valid, past, present or future. It just means that I don't engage in hatred against a person because of their race, religion or sexual preference. Hatred, like anger, is a secondary...

I never meant to imply that the Pharisee never existed---just the mythological version of the pharisee. The real pharisee were the ones that pushed the spirit of the law over the letter of the law(In opposition to the Sadducee). This is reflected in modern Rabbinical Judaism. Christian...
