Thanks for the link. I have a good friend in Rhode Island and I might ask him about the origin of the name. In any event, there is no doubt that Rhode Island is not an island.

Thanks for the correction to the list !
Askest and thou shalt receivestI suppose we could start a new thread, "The Errors and Inventions of Protestantism" or even "The Errors and Inventions of Orthodoxy." However, the OP is limited to the Catholic Church, so I will not derail this thread.
Thank you for the excellent information. The only point I would disagree with is that of Rhode Island, which was found by John Brown, a Baptist, who escaped Puritan persecution in the Massachusetts Bay Colony and founded Rhode Island as a refuge not only for Baptist, but also for Quakers and Jews (the oldest Baptist Church and the oldest synagogue in America are both in Rhode Island). Thus, it is inaccurate to think that Rhode Island was Congregational.
By the way, do you know of any association between Rhode Island and the Island of Rhodes?
There is either none of the above or Eastern Orthodoxhow about this, tell me how exactly Christianity is suppose to be if not RCC or protestantism etc..

This state was named by Dutch explorer Adrian Block. He named it "Roodt Eylandt" meaning "red island" in reference to the red clay that lined the shore. The name was later anglicized when the region came under British rule.

The Quakers, beginning with William Penn, kept respectful relations with the Indians of this region (the "Walking Purchase" was a sad exception, though it postdated W. Penn and was not a Quaker action, though it was done iirc by a Quaker). The Moravians, and as far as I know, and the Anabaptist settlers of Pa., also maintained respectful relations.
Here are a few of the verses. There are many more.I failed to get the quote from the Qu'ran and am interested to know what you are driving at.
Thanks!
A Christian apologist [who seems to be well versed in the Arabic and Quran] had a thread concerning that [amongst many other threads on the Quran]*snip*
Here are a few of the verses. There are many more.
Qur'an 5:17"Verily they are disbelievers and infidels who say, 'The Messiah, son of Mary, is God.'"
The RC Church disavowed the witch hunts long before the Protestants did.
Wasn't Quran 5 written during a time of war?Here are a few of the verses. There are many more.
Qur'an 5:17"Verily they are disbelievers and infidels who say, 'The Messiah, son of Mary, is God.'"
Qur'an 5:51"Believers, take not Jews and Christians for your friends. They are but friends and protectors to each other."
Qur'an 9:29"Fight those who do not believe in Allah or the Last Day, who do not forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, or acknowledge the Religion of Truth (Islam), (even if they are) People of the Book (Christians and Jews), until they pay the Jizyah tribute tax in submission, feeling themselves subdued and brought low." [Another translation says:] "pay the tax in acknowledgment of our superiority and their state of subjection."
Qur'an 5:14"From those, too, who call themselves Christians, We made a covenant, but they forgot and abandoned a good part of the message that was sent them: so we estranged them, stirred up enmity and hatred among them to the Day of Doom. Soon will Allah show them the handiwork they have done."
Qur'an 5:47"Let the people of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed therein. If any fail to judge by what Allah has revealed, they are (no better than) those who rebel."
Qur'an 5:72"...Lo! Whoever joins other gods with Allah or says He has a partner, Allah has forbidden Paradise, and the Hell Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrong-doers be no one to help."

Some people promote a very attractive idea: All true Christians, regardless of how they live, have an absolute assurance of salvation, once they accept Jesus into their hearts as "their personal Lord and Savior."
Wasn't Rhode Island founded by Roger Williams?
That was not my intent... to open one more thread in Protestanism..Simple... you all accuse of what the RC is doing ... while the Protestant church is doing the same... but instead of calling he keetle black it would be better even more preferable to see that yeah indeed we are all human and we err? No one said the EO is free from mistakes either so why bother doing the count down
Good point. For those of us who suffer from a "holier than thou" syndrome and somehow believe that our church is pure and without error, it is helpful to get a small dose of humility and realize that churches are, indeed, human institutions which are subject to human error. The Roman Church, unfortunately, does not hold this position.
