This thread relates to the categorical fact that the Church has been credited/criticized for formulating the present New Testament and Old Testaments. Objective historians would agree with this salient fact, some to blame the Church for choosing gospels which served its selfish interests while others dismiss reality and reside in a world of make believe.

To refute the article presented at the beginning of the thread purporting to support the contention of Catholic/Orthodox involvement in working with the Holy Spirit in this endeavor, you must offer objective empirical evidence to support your contentions.

The burden of proof rests with those who choose not to believe this article . Yet no objective evidence exists for refutation only self serving thoughts which have no probative value.

Pub 78 was introduced to support my informed contention that there are over 30,000 discrete protestant entities in this nation. The Pub should be used in conjunction with the yearly 990 filed by each entity to discern its independence. You and your new found buddy failed to grasp the significance of this fact. Thus, there was no meeting of the minds. His objection merely demonstrates his failure to comprehend my explanation.

Is it Christian to call me a liar or Satanic? Jesus would not approve of such behavior at least not in the Bible complied by the Church. God Bless

Just for anyone who might come along and read bronx2’s accusations against me, I want to make the following very clear:

1) his accusations against me are false and unsubstantiated (I’ve never called him “Satanic,” for example, though he accuses me of having done so)

2) he’s never acknowledged my specific arguments against the original post and his “30,000 discrete protestant entities” argument

I also encourage you not to spend time replying to him, as he does not engage in civil dialog. Look at the nasty tone he’s used against me (and others who challenge his positions) from the beginning.

Attempting dialog with him is a waste of your time; all heat and no light.
