Dante's inferno? Not really, very few people actually believe what it says. On paganism read my above post. Sorry, but your repitive ranting doesn't give conclusive evidence on anything. The evidence will always be inconclusive. You have made your point many times before, but your repitiveness does not add to discussion.
Nor does yours........You're a fundamentalist too?
I could give you links and studies and book titles but yet I doubt you'd venture to look, because to do so would destroy your little bubble. You like that little bubble of other people telling you how to think don't you...It makes you feel involved and secure doesn't it.
People telling me how to think? If only you understood my faith and how I came to it. If only you knew that I only started going to church two months ago and that it hasn't changed a single belief on mine. I would also venture that you are not as well educated on these subjects as you claim and that your 'study' involves unaccredited websites and books written by non-scholars who make false conclusions from the work of real scholars.
Ohh...Stanford University sites and books, Other historical literature, Josephus and his works on the Jewish wars, The early church writings of the fathers by Stanford again. The Writing of the Catholic Church, As compiled by that church, the biographies of many protestant church founders, How the denominations were formed and what influenced it and how they branched into other trees, the study following the different faiths back to their roots?. ...etc.
Originally posted by NellinatorThey were too late. It was already influenced. Yet they added to what you may call the so called truth by growing some denominations that also split, and split again and so on.....
So you believe that I am influenced by the pagan influenced Catholic Church? No.
Protestant church founders? Like Zwingli, Kalvin, and Luther? So you know that they merely began the return to following the scriptures.
They felt that they were really in the right btw, And I believe them, but they were too late. The falsities were done centuries before.
