Upon leading his inquisition, Saint Dominic wrote, "For many hears I have exhorted you in vain, with gentleness, preaching, praying, weeping. But according to the proverb of my country, 'where blessing can be accomplish nothing, blows must avail.' We shall rouse against you princes and prelates [heretics], who, alas will arm nations and kingdoms against this land..." (Friedrich, End of the War, p74)

Then, under the guidance of Pope Innocent the Third, Dominic started the Order of Friars Preachers, which had as its primary purpose the implementation of an inquisition. (Edwin S. Hunt, James Murray; A History of Business in Medieval Europe, 1200–1550)

Yet, I'm told by Catholics that Saint Dominic had little or no roll in the inquisition. Do they have an alternate version of history?

It's not like it's impossible for an omnipotent, omnibenevolent god, and it would certainly be a good thing. Can anyone explain this?

quote:

" 'Of all the generations of humans that have walked the surface of the Earth — for 100,000 years, going back when we first left Africa — the generation now alive is the most important,' said Michio Kaku, professor of theoretical physics at City University of New York. 'The generation now alive, the generation that you see, looking around you, for the first time in history, is the generation that controls the destiny of the planet itself'."

Will religion help to solve the problem?

Romans 3:19-20:
19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. 20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God's sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.

If the ten commandments are God's Law, then what does this scripture mean? Does Paul make a valid point?

As we know Cain killed Abel, creating the first murder on earth...then it says (Genesis 4:16) "So Cain went away from the Lord...had sexual relations with his wife, and she became pregnant..." Where did this wife come from? Weren't Adam, Eve, and their two sons the only ones on the land?? Adam and Eve then had another child....but another boy-Seth....so this is confusing....unless {don't mean to insult anyone} Cain had relations with Eve....I know I know incest....but was there any other way?? ...help*....maybe I'm just missing a point....

Sometimes Curiosity DOES lead to sin. For example, what is sex like, what does the opposite gender look like and so on.

A medieval reference to Lilith as the first wife of Adam is the anonymous The Alphabet of Ben-Sira, written sometime between the 8th and 11th centuries. Lilith is described as refusing to assume a subservient role to Adam during sexual intercourse and so deserting him ("She said, 'I will not lie below,' and he said, 'I will not lie beneath you, but only on top. For you are fit only to be in the bottom position, while I am to be the superior one.'"). Lilith promptly uttered the name of God, took to the air, and left the Garden, settling on the Red Sea coast. In this act, Lilith becomes unique in that she is not touched by Original Sin, having left the garden before Eve came into existence. Lilith also reveals herself to be powerful in her own right by knowing the name of God.

lilth was the first woman and was brave enough to leave the garden of eden. then god made an inferior woman named eve.
eve ate the apple.what do you think?i think this is just a story used hold back women

do people insist on giving "proof" (usually in the form of scriptures) that God exists, when the very meaning of "faith" stright out of the dictionary is "belief that is not based on proof"? This is once again not bash peoples beliefs just mearly a question.

Including his most complex creation, human beings. People say God is perfect and wise in all ways, yet we show disdain for anything he allegedly created unless it appears to be "infused" with holy power or "sanctioned" to be holy by someone we accept as "closer to God" than the common man. By their very premise, everything is created by God, means He owns everything and everyone of us. What pray tell, gives us the audacity to hurt or destroy anything? Unless in some corner of peoples hearts, they don't truly believe everything they've learned about God. Making them hypocritical and judgmental at best. Why are they that way?
