"Arius was a senior presbyter in charge of Baucalis...Alexandria. Around 318 CE, he clashed with Bishop Alexander. Arius claimed that the Father alone really God; the Son was essentially different from the Father" (Eerdman's Handbook to The History of Christianity)

It was the Council of Nicaea that instituted and adopted Pauline's Trinity Christianity vs Arian's Monotheistic Christianity.

Arian Christianity sounds like its not very different from Islam's assertion.

as far as I know Catholicism introduced Christianity to the world, and it is the original Christian religion, so what's with all the "Catholics are not Christians" all about?

those Protestants owe their beliefs from the Catholic religion. if the Catholic Church is wrong in how they worship and serve God and and His people, then who can say what's wrong and what's right among the Protestants when Protestantism is just an off-shoot from Catholicism? even the Bible the Protestants use came from the Catholic Church.

so, if Catholicism is not a Christian religion, then there's no Christian religion, and all claiming to be Christians of today are not Christians at all.


*note: I'm not Catholic, but I know the facts.

(I have been a silent observer concerning Catholics vs Protestants, so I thought of asking this question.)

Usually these peole are found to be dimwitted or extremely angry people. Dothe radical Islamists scout for such angry and direct their rage ? Did Mohammad also provide this expertise in directing some unknown rage in people ?

In the Tao Te Ching Faith is described as 'Hollow as fear'


Faith and fear are both phantoms
that arise from thinking of the self
when you do not see the self as self
fear does not arise
and faith is not needed
whether you go up the ladder or down it
your position is still shaky
better to stand with both your two feet on the ground.....

I was told this by some people once, they didn't want an acceptable debate even though I rebuffed every fact they gave me, they kept throwing back the same used out tag-line, there is irrefutable proof.

So, I like to see this proof. What I know about evolution is...

1. Not all scientists say that it's the only way.
2. It is less probable than intelligent creation.
3. The people on Yahoo Answers (sometimes) and certain Archaeologists, refuse to acknowledge the growing proof of creation.

Here's what I know about creation.
1. God could have used evolution to create the world.
2. It takes less faith and more love to know that God created the world and He is in charge, than too believe man is on his own.
3. Sometimes, creationists look crazy in the eyes of atheists only because they refuse to acknowledge anything about us other than out religion.

So basically...
1. It is harder to cling to evolution
2. God created the world.

IF Real Christianity... Were NOT True.... Why THEN... Are THERE.... So MANY.... here in the R&S Section... Mocking CHRISTIANITY.....?

Why would Someone MOCK..... SOMETHING.... IS IT WASN'T... " REAL.....? "

(Jude 1:17-18-19) But you, beloved, remember the words spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

(Jude 1:18) because they told you that at the last time there will be mockers according to their lusts, leading ungodly lives.

(Jude 1:19) These are those setting themselves apart, animal-like ones, not having the Spirit.

JESUS.... Said there Would Be MOCKERS... and they Seem to have.... Chosen.... Yahoo.... Q&A.... " R&S ".....!

IF Real Christianity... Were NOT True.... Why THEN... Are THERE.... So MANY.... here in the R&S Section... Mocking CHRISTIANITY.....?

I am 36 years old YES I learned about human reproduction in public school. Before I was in high school I knew what the male and female reproduction system was and I knew what happened biologically when the male and female reproduction got together. I understood the whole process of how a baby was conceived around age 13. They say many schools are teaching homosexuality in schools. Are they just teaching that some people are different and not everybody has a boy/girl relationship and leaving it at that? Are they getting into the physical acts that take place between two males or two females? I am not talking about kissing, hugging or holding hands. Anytime I write the words describing homosexual acts I get reported for abuse and recieve a violation. I am trying to understand what exactly these schools want our kids to know. Do we want our kids to know what kind of physical activities homosexuals engage in? If you say no would you not be educating them properly?

Explain. What has this done to your level of confidence in the Bible?

People often say, "There are so many contradictions in the Bible, " yet, often cannot name one they have found for themselves.

... what you know/understand of the theory?

I've read a lot of nonsense on Y!A like "why are there still monkeys around if they became humans?" and "no one's actually witnessed a lizard turn into a mammal".

Why shouldn't evolution be more probable than God "poofing" creatures out of thin air?

The Bible says everyone will stand before God to give an account of every word, thought, and action. Will you be innocent or guilty on Judgment Day? Let’s look at the Ten Commandments and see if you meet God’s standard. Is God first in your life? Do you love Him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength? Have you ever lied, stolen, hated, or dishonored your parents? Have you looked with lust and therefore committed adultery in your heart? If you have broken just one of these laws, then you have sinned against God. The Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” The penalty of sin is death and eternal torment in hell.

The good news is God provided a way out. Jesus Christ took your punishment when he suffered and died on the cross. He defeated death by rising from the dead. The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Repent (turn from your sins) therefore and turn to God, that your sins may be wiped out.

...when I die, I'm proved wrong and it turns out that there IS a heaven, and God or St Whatever is sat there and I tell him that I've never committed a crime (beyond having an opinion, as that appears to be a crime on this site) never done drugs, never been so drunk I can't stand up, never been pregnant outside marriage, I've done nothing at all that has ever made my parents or the law disappointed in me? Are they going to tell me that I can't come in because I chose to be with my family on a sunday rather than sitting in a cold church listening to some ancient scriptures? Christians must surely be able to see that I will have been treated unfairly.
IF all my good deeds on earth mean nothing and all it comes down to is whether or not I believed in god, surely everyone might as well commit crime and do everything wrong because you're exempt from hell as long as you went to church.

Do you say, "Oh I prayed that prayed I already did that once?" There is no prayer anywhere in the bible that says just pray this prayer and you will go to heaven. You have to continue to believe and continue to repent. A prayer can not save you. Please friend do not put all your trust and hope in a prayer. Put in all in Jesus Christ. Obey his commands and trust in him alone to save you from hell.
