Slavery started well before 1800.
They can only ride so many wagons at a time. I'm upset at all the anti-Catholic threads allowed to run unchecked in GT. So this is my way of balancing it out. Not very charitable of me, but my charity has been just about used up... ...again.Ahh... the anti-Protestant threads...
I haven't seen a good one in months!
CC, you still did not answer: what are your thoughts on the Ustaše and their own bad doings? Frankly, I'm surprised no Protestants have jumped on that wagon.
Um...actually, that's not quite true at all.Ukrainian Bogdan Chmielnicki was a Cossack Cromwell. He wore the banner of Eastern Orthodoxy in a holy war against Jews and Polish Catholics. More than 100,000 were killed in this 17th-century bloodbath, and the Ukraine was split away from Poland to become part of the Orthodox Russian empire.
You still never answered my question.They can only ride so many wagons at a time. I'm upset at all the anti-Catholic threads allowed to run unchecked in GT. So this is my way of balancing it out. Not very charitable of me, but my charity has been just about used up... ...again.
That sounds like a worthy read. I'll add it to my "to read list".I urge you to read Taras Bulba by Gogol. It's fiction, but illustrated the mindset extremely well.
that is true, Catholic French and Spanish colonies had slaves in the New World, now we can talk about the standard of living for the slaves but all were guilty of this horrible crimeCatholics and protestants alike were slave 'owners'.

To quote one of the fathers of Nicea 325 whose name I can not recall, "No one iota!"Mel, you are a very smart young woman, you should know better then to split hairs over translations of names from one alphabet to another
Where did you find the Greek?So this is 'revenge'? Wow, am I ever a dunce.
Κύριε ἐλέησον, Χριστὲ ἐλέησον, Κύριε ἐλέησον.
Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy.
Hey, there are standards for transliteration, and that doesn't meet them. Why should I accept the Polish butchering of a Ukrainian name?Mel, you are a very smart young woman, you should know better then to split hairs over translations of names from one alphabet to another
Id love to discuss the facts with ya Rhamiel,that is true, Catholic French and Spanish colonies had slaves in the New World, now we can talk about the standard of living for the slaves but all were guilty of this horrible crime

No, those were perfectly called for as they were said in your beer hall and not mine.you have wisdom beyond your years, I take back all the bad things I said about you in OBOB lol
Yup, they fled. Interesting it's the same number of Orthodox Christian Serbs that was exiled from Croatia by Roman Catholics in 1994 - 1995. To return to the earlier period, in 1941-1945 700 000 Orthodox Christian Serbs ware killed by Roman Catholics Croats in Croatia. Several hundred thousands of Jews and Gypsies also killed by Roman Catholics in Croatia of that time. Number of forcibly converted Orthodox Christians is unknown. And I’m addressing RC’s behavior not the muslim.By 1998, the former Yugoslavia had shrunk to three political divisions: Serbia, Kosovo and a semi-autonomous district, Montenegro. The central government in Belgrade, mainly controlled by Serbian Orthodox Christians, had attempted to crush the mainly Muslim Albanian rebels in Kosovo were fighting for independence. They "used excessive force against the Albanian civilian population, destroying villages and driving people from their homes...By September 1998...there was a full-blown humanitarian crisis in Kosovo.". At its peak, 300,000 Kosovars had fled their homes

Did you read my post? I said none of them were true Christians and that went for protestants AND catholics alike.Then neither was the other inquisitions carried out by Christians.
It can't be a double standard.
So we should just all ignore all inquisitions as none of them who carried them out qualify as Christians.
Forgive me...
What does this have to do with GENERAL THEOLOGY?Your thought on these historical events:
1. The "Protestant Inquisition" as history calls it is known the severities of John Calvin in Geneva and Queen Elizabeth I in England during the 1500s. Calvin's followers burned 58 "heretics," including theologian Michael Servetus, who doubted the Trinity. Elizabeth I outlawed Catholicism and executed about 200 Catholics.
2. Anabaptists were slaughtered by Protestant authorities. In Munster, Germany, Anabaptists took control of the city, drove out the clergymen, and proclaimed a New Zion. The Anabaptist leader proclaimed himself king and executed dissenters until Munster finally fell.
3. Oliver Cromwell was deemed a moderate because he massacred only Catholics and Anglicans, not other Protestants. This Puritan general commanded Bible-carrying soldiers, whom he roused to religious fervor. After decimating an Anglican army, Cromwell said, "God made them as stubble to our swords." He demanded the beheading of the defeated King Charles I, and made himself the holy dictator of England during the 1650s. When his army crushed the hated Irish Catholics, he ordered the execution of the surrendered defenders of Drogheda and their priests, calling it "a righteous judgment of God upon these barbarous wretches."
4. When Puritans settled in Massachusetts in the 1600s, they created a religious police state where doctrinal deviation could lead to flogging, pillorying, hanging, cutting off ears, or boring through the tongue with a hot iron. Preaching Quaker beliefs was a capital offense. Four stubborn Quakers defied this law and were hanged. In the 1690s fear of witches seized the colony. Twenty alleged witches were killed and 150 others imprisoned.
5. Bogdan Chmielnicki was a "Ukranian" Cromwell. He wore the banner of Eastern Orthodoxy in a holy war against Jews and Polish Catholics. More than 100,000 were killed in this 17th-century bloodbath, and the Ukraine was split away from Poland to become part of the Orthodox Russian empire.
6. In Jonestown, Guyana, in 1978, followers of the Rev. Jim Jones killed a visiting congressman and three newsmen, then administered cyanide to themselves and their children in a 900-person suicide that shocked the world.
