I saw you post a day or two ago in straight English. Why are you playing this game? I am not RC but I am offended by these opinions no matter how you choose to express them.

al-d,

stop twisting my words.

I think you're doing a fine job of that all by yourself...

if you can,t handle ,the milk-of the word-i shoulda known-you can,t digest the meat!!JESUS set,s-free---religion keep,s=bound!!! a few GET-IT!---IT TOOK ME 30 YEAR,S TO FIND=TRUE CHRISTIANITY!! it,s not in ritual,s.not in church=BUILDING,S!! not being-brainwashed by hirelings!! but you,d rather give your opinion-because that, what the group say,s!!JESUS OFFENDED=DEAD RELIGION!!

-- al-d. (dogs@zianet.com), July 06, 2000.

Al,all dogmatic theologies have a message that they are right and everyone else is wrong,it helps prevent the loss of converts.Ironicly,Buddhism seems to be the only mainstream religion that activly encourages the exploration of other religions for greater understanding and acceptance.The sincerity of your belief does not invalidate the beliefs of others.Ever wonder why there is war?It's because of intolerance just like you espouse under the guise of twisted christian-styled concern.Intolerance=misunderstanding=ignorance=fear=hatred=violence.

I've tried and tried to get some sense out of --al-d's words , but I give up. dEIteR was hard enough to read but at least he made sense... sometimes (thanx unc :-)

Might I suggest that we all ignore him until he posts in English?

-- al-d. (dogs@zianet.com), July 07, 2000.

Just because others understanding and experience of truth differs from yours does not make them wrong.Your dismissal of catholics is sectarian and base.You're concentrating on the peas and missing the steak.Same jesus,same Jehova,same redemtion,same concept of heaven and afterlife.Father son and holy ghost,toots.The church is a construct of man so of course it's flawed,but catholics are worshipping the same god/jesus as you.So try not to get your panties in such a bundle over differances in minutia. It's not you,al,but your sectarian rigidity and arrogance towards those with differant beliefs that people attack.

-- zoobie (zoobiezoob@yahoo.com), July 07, 2000.

ZOOB, if you ever become a believer,you would be an awesome preacher/teacher,for GODS-KINGDOM!!ZOOB,JESUS SAID''THERE ARE MANY- way,s THAT seem-right-BUT LEAD TO DEATH[spiritually!! WHAT DO YU THINK??

-- al-d. (dogs@zianet.com), July 07, 2000.

Jesus might not have ever said that.The bible you read to learn of jesus was written many years after Jesus' death by a committee of men who didn't want to lose converts to the other competing hebrew schisms.How many times was your bible translated and revised by men (many with political agendas)before it finaly was written in english?

HOW MUCH, would GOD-ALMIGHTY allow his word to be-mis-quoted???? true-seekers-seek!comparing all-translation,s!ever heard of the - >dead sea -scroll.s!did yiu know,that the ancient-scholar,s,we,re to be put to death,if they misquoted 1 letter of word! is GOD in control--or-not?seeker,s-find--skeptic,s are ever wanting! this is why-i think we -all->reap-what we sow!!

-- al-d. (dogs@zianet.com), July 07, 2000.

misquoted 1 word of CHURCH SANCTIONED scripture.It's because of the dead sea scroll's deviation from church sanctioned scripture that they've been labled apocrypha.

-- zoobie (zoobiezoob@yahoo.com), July 07, 2000.

well zoobie, slice it-dice.whatever-but GOD said[heaven & earth shall pass away-but my word abides-forever]it never ceases to amaze-me.how the creature will-defy the creator!can the clay-say to the potter-hey i don,t like what your doing![NOT]we,ll see who has the-LAST-WORD!!

-- al-d. (dogs@zianet.com), July 07, 2000.

Al,

I've got a *QUEST* for you, and it is easy to complete. Look up the molestation *RATE* for Catholic priests compared to married priests in U.S. protestant denominations and tell me what you find. I think you'll be quite interested, and you won't be twisting God's words.

Again Al, don't confuse your personal prejudices with the reality.

Frank

-- Someone (ChimingIn@twocents.cam), July 07, 2000.

Al's words make perfect sense to me. Perhaps your heart and your spirit is preventing you from understanding them.

DEAR FRANK,i have nothing-personal-against-anyone!i,ve known some wonderful-loving catholic,s!it,s THE FALSE-TEACHING,S! DO YOU undestand>''SAVED BY GRACE[ALONE] NOT OF work,s[RELIGIOUS- fawning]

-- al-d. (dogs@zianet.com), July 08, 2000.

--al-da,

Catholic "religion" has been twisted. It is unnatural for people not to screw. It is unnatural to hide the truth.(Takes too much effort) People absorbed in this way of life are trying to do the right thing.

Cut them some slack.
