it needs something else to supplement it; i.e., the spoken or historically recorded word which we call Tradition.


Does the New Testament expressly refer to Christ's "unwritten word"? The New Testament itself teaches that it does not contain all that Our Lord did or, consequently, all that He taught.
John 20-30: And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book, etc.
John 21-25: And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written everyone, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written Amen.

Ann Coulter said about Muslims:

"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war"

Do all Christians agree with her?

Okay, as a militant agnostic, I want to teach my kids that there is no one true way... and please don't start preaching here... I'm not going to listen. Anyhow... in the spirit of doing this, instead of celebrating Christmas this year, we are celebrating Yule, as the Wiccan religion is generally okay with non believers taking part in their traditions. What other religions would be okay with this idea? And what holidays would be good ones for kids to learn about? I appreciate your input.

due to all the Pagan influence?

Now the Christians complain about Christmas being taken away from them?

Some churches still reject Christmas.

Is it again more of a seasonal custom instead of a religious celebration?

John 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.


TODAY JESUS IS STILL CRYING FOR US TO COME AND DRINK.

and what the New Testament contains? Our Lord commanded his Apostles to teach all things whatsoever He had commanded; (Matt. 28-20); His Church must necessarily teach everything; (John 14-26); however, the Protestant Bible itself teaches that the Bible does not contain all of Our Lord's doctrines:
John 20-30: And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book, etc.
John 21-25: And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
How would it have been possible for second century Christians to practice Our Lord's religion, if private interpretation of an unavailable and only partial account of Christ's teaching were indispensable?

Ironically, which ever answer you give is both a lie and the only truth that exists.

We live in a world where man can never be wrong and never be right. So live your dreams knowing that it was only a dream and nothing more.

Rom 1:28-32
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
KJV

13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”
14 So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed[a] in heaven.”
20 Then He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ.

I know many RC think this means Peter is the rock. But is he?

This is the first time I will be celebrating Christmas since I abandoned Christianity and any lingering belief in God.

I'm not really interested in celebrating Christmas anymore. I never cared for it much anyway--it bugs me how the whole season seems to just be a good excuse for department stores to make serious amounts of cash. People who can't afford to are going in debt to buy crap for other people that they don't need and probably will never use anyway.

I'm interested in shifting gears a little bit in terms of how I celebrate the winter holidays. How do you do it?

The Protestant Bible expressly states that Christ founded a teaching Church, which existed before any of the New Testament books were written.

Specifically, if it applies to you, what caused you to stop believing the church's definition of God, and/or the church's definition of "right and wrong"? - (just wondering)
