Akin claims he isn't using circular logic but he certainly is. He is also using an argument by assertion tactic by claiming things not in evidence. There are also a number of leaps in logic such as his claim that the Roman Catholic church was the church Jesus founded, that this church was "infallible", that this "infallible" church determined God's word was infallible and that without this "infallible" church we wouldn't have God's word or believe in its infallibility. Each one of these can be disproved, and HAVE been often right here.

none of these claims have been, can be, or ever will be, disproved, and certainly not on this thread.

For 2,000 years some of the most educated, learned, dedicated people on Earth compiled scripture, interpreted scripture, hand copied scripture, saved scripture throughout the ages. Now, somehow, we are to ignore them and rely on admittedly good people here on FR to prove them wrong.....If I were a betting man, I'd put some heavy duty bucks on their being right.

~~none~~ ALL of these claims have been, can be, or and ever will be, disproved, and certainly ~~not~~ have been on this thread as well as many others. In fact, it's becoming quite tedious having to constantly argue the SAME points over and over again.

Do you think you could ever reach the point where you can agree to disagree and respect the other person's right to believe what they do? Or, is it more important to y'all to demean, destroy, insult, mock and belittle those who, though they ARE Christians and believe and follow Jesus Christ, are not Roman Catholics?

See the above, terry.

After all...
