Interesting — so Joe Smith tried to pretend to walk on water?
Scary that he conned so many folks. How anyone fell for his scam, hat, plates, etc, is incredulous!
Guess the whole “gods and planets” promise was enticing.
Staight from the Devil.
can’t spell this AM. need more COFFEE! heh
That’s what my Best Man’s father related as told to him by his father or grandfather. I forget which.
Inquisitions - were conducted against Muslim fourth columnists
"to torture people" - again, like various religious groups among Christians have done
To sell indulgences -- Paula White...
To sit on high thrones - Benny Hinn, etc.
To throw away scripture - that's what various groups did by throwing out the Deuterocanonicals
By their fruits shall you know them - the Catholic Church by the grace of God was God's instrument for spreading Christianity to half the world. That's pretty good fruit
“How many ana-baptists died by horrible torture at the hands of the Catholic Church over the simple doctrine of Baptism? The inquisitions?” —> actually none - the Anabaptists were killed by other Protestants - the Calvinists and Lutherans.
