malakhi - "Do you believe that God wants the church to burn heretics? Or would this be against His will?"

Hermann - "Have you ever read the Old Testament, where Elijah slew the false prophets of Baal? Does this answer your question?

Its not against the will of God to burn heretics who insist on disturbing the faithful and robbing them of truth."

Hermann:

You are a piece of work....

I cannot imagine why even YOU would dare to defend the abominable practice of burning heretics!

Even your POPE doesn't defend such practices.
Can you tell me in all honesty that you believe it is RIGHT to kill someone for their beliefs?

Jesus Christ wants people to accept him of their own free will, and to use the Old Testament example of Elijah as a justification for such persecution is absolutely ridiculous!

Yes...if you are trying to convert people to your way of thinking, you certainly have lost any moral high ground with that statement. It is no wonder the Protestants are leery of your church. (not to mention Orthodox Christians)

May God Forgive you!
