In the apostolic era, there were the Greek-speakers and the Latin-speakers. Today the Eastern church, the Orthodox, inherits the Greek-speaking Christianity which was earlier than the Latin form. St. Peter established the church at Antioch before he ever went to Rome if indeed he went to Rome at all which is questionable. All the various Orthodox churches descend from the original church in the East, and the claim of some Roman Catholics to be the original of all Christianity is clearly bogus; they are the original only of the Western or Latin branch which came later than the Orthodox.

Roman, Anglican and Protestant churches are the Latin branch. The Lutheran Reformation was based on the absurd notion of giving primacy to scripture, ignoring the reality that the church, not a book, is the custodian of Christian doctrine, and that the Bible's canonicity and its alleged authority was granted to it by the church, not granted to the church by the Bible.

For those out there that believe this, tell me why you believe this and what you expect to find in this life. Also what evidence you have, to base this belief on.

I am serious. I have a buyer who will buy my soul for a *lot* of money. A LOT. Should I sell it?

Take Job for example, God has no problem with Satan making his life a living hell, and why, to test Job's faith. Now why would God let an angel continually test and deceive his loved creations? To see how strong our faith is, why couldn't he just do that himself? Unless he is doing it himself, making God Satan.

Now I know in the Bible it seperates God and Satan (lucifer) but maybe that too is part of God's plan. I mean there's a lot God never told us, why can't this be another thing, I mean it makes as much sense as letting Satan spread sin throughout the world doesn't it?

I'm not trying to anger anyone.. I'm just looking for some feedback to the thoughts of people more knowledgable than myself in Christianity and Judaism on this article I read earlier.

The reason I ask is from reading statements from former followers of islam on the following website http://www.faithfreedom.org/Articles/sina/slayingislam.htm. I don't see how a religion that seems to have no tolerance for anyone but muslims (men mostly) can have a democratic government. There is something about a father killing his own daughter for being seen with a man in public without permission. This is a classic honour killing, which is apparantly a custom throughout the middle east. How can these archaic ideals exist within a working democracy?

If I tell others Jesus is "my personal Savior", isn't that a rather controlling attitude? He doesn't belong to me, I belong to Him.

is it too much to accept that we are not the center of the universe?


That which the dream shows is the shadow of such wisdom as exists in man, even if during his waking state he may know nothing about it... We do not know it because we are fooling away our time with outward and perishing things, and are asleep in regard to that which is real within ourself.
- Philipus Aureolus Paracelsus

Aparently Jesus himself couldn't do it. Anyone else want to take a shot at it?
