Thread 303
Were you trying to? I am not so easily offended as all that. When it comes to issues of the church and some of your arguments, I am able to dismiss much of it as "consider the source." I figure eventually the rest of us will rub off on you. No, if I ever get to the point where I call you a raving moron or some equally colorful name, then you can asume you have offended me beyond my ability to either attempt furthur rational discussion or to dismiss your remarks.
There is nothing in the four gospels to say that Jesus was celibate, or even that he was not a widower. The gospels record only what the Disciples thought important, not every aspect of Jesus life.

Ratty he is right .. he is not anti-Jewish
Sometimes Swervie doesn't pick the right words to use .. but I haven't noticed him to be anti-jewish
No, I can't. I choke if I try.

Yes Mo. And it is a good thing that you wrote it. I almost had your NASCAR membership pulled. :)
18 people killed at a school in Germany
Besides, you HAVE to say that now since catpuppy made you an official honorary southerner!
Only with great difficulty.
Cut to the quick.

Pup .. that is all you need is a few people to make a religion "look" bad .. but that doesn't mean that is the teaching of the church
Did that make sense???
Disagree Swerve. Big difference. The Jewish people took back their land. Native Americans did not. Possession matters.
I wouldn't worry too much about homosexual priests, because the BIG deal is the covering up of what they did, after it was found out. I don't think the Church SOUGHT OUT Homos to be priests.
The elephant in the corner that NOBODY will mention, is that Homosexuals, and also many other kinds of criminals, will ALWAYS pursue positions of 'power' in society. ALWAYS. They desperately need some validation and rationalization for their atrocities, and also those positions provide a measure of protection or cover.
My brother told me a while back, that the LATEST ploy by the Homos, was to go to Christian churches, and make an offering with a check. If they do that and they write some charities' name in the 'memo' field, then the Church MUST contribute it to the charity mentioned. If they don't they can get in tax trouble.
He found out about it after several churches elsewhere got into all kinds of trouble about their tax status. They were set-up, and never even thought about looking closely at the 'memo' field on anybody's checks.
It wouldn't surprise me ONE BIT, if they found some kind of documents sometime, at one of these Radical Faggots Associations, detailing plans to subvert the Churches by BECOMING priests and preachers.
When I was a kid there were always arguments between the kids about whose "religion" was best. Of course it was denominations we were talking about, but what did we know then? I would often hear things that would send me running to my priest for a resolution complete with quotes from my friends. One of the most sweeping...and ignorant...responses I ever got to one of these questions was from an older priest who told me "don't believe anything a Baptist or a Catholic ever tells you." It wasn't long after that that I started arguing with priests.
Well then!! Crank up the Enola Gay.
We can fix that little problem post haste.
Sharon can be dining in Baghdad within the month.
I am glad you told me that, if we had known it was THAT easy to solve this problem, then we could ended the grief YEARS ago. Woe unto the Muslims, if the World validated your logic.
Still reading but wanted to comment on this
Believe or not but there are some churches that have married priest that the Catholic Church recognizes
But generaly the priest are not allowed to marry .. and there is an option .. don't become a priest ..
As always, yes.
Ratty, you're scaring me. You are positively brilliant this morning... Translation: I agree with everything you have been saying so far.
MOST Baptist Churches don't even have a web-site yet, much less any discussions of scripture.
I take it, you have attended the same Church down there in GA, for 'X' number of years??? I have gone to Church services from MANY denominations, and also a Mass once or twice. I am NOT going to guess how widespread the area is, where it is being taught, but a LOT of people here have had it taught to them.
I bet there are some Churches in your area that teach that, too.
What about if you ENJOY calling him names?????
