Luke or Paul? Isaac Send a noteboard - 13/02/2013 04:36:27 PM
Paul, John, Matthew, and Mark are different than the other books of the New Testament. Yes it is all devinely inspired, but that is not the same thing. There are the 4 witnesses to Christ's life and teachings (thus they are considered to be the divine words of Christ) and the rest is the words of divinely inspired men and can be invalidated, or "clarified" by another divinely inspired proclemation (i.e. Pope speaking Ex Cathedra).


I'm assuming you meant to say Luke, John, Matthew, and Mark not Paul? Paul's kind of a special case but the Gospels are those four, not Paul

That is what I get for only having decaf coffee this morning... HyogaRott - 13/02/2013 05:43:57 PM 937 Views
I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this point. Jeordam - 13/02/2013 06:36:03 PM 799 Views

Hate to jump you again but are you sure you mean Timothy? Isaac - 14/02/2013 11:54:00 PM 936 Views
Yep, I ment Timothy HyogaRott - 15/02/2013 04:18:21 AM 889 Views

If "the bible is still the bible," then what of Deborah, Huldah and Phoebe, to name but a few? Joel - 13/02/2013 06:17:44 PM 1015 Views
Why wouldn't it still be devinely inspired? Jeordam - 13/02/2013 06:44:07 PM 926 Views
Um, because then God was lying when He inspired someone to write "this is not Gods commandment." Joel - 13/02/2013 07:42:15 PM 909 Views
You're missing a really key point Jeordam - 13/02/2013 09:13:32 PM 938 Views
You are using an epistle to say every word of all epistles is divinely inspired? Joel - 13/02/2013 10:00:36 PM 1122 Views

Shouldn't you be able to answer this question from what you just wrote? Jeordam - 13/02/2013 11:02:28 PM 1009 Views
Oh, certainly; I just felt like I was dragging you with me kicking and screaming. Joel - 14/02/2013 01:05:14 AM 951 Views
So Roman Catholic priests CAN marry, under tortuous conditions? Interesting.... Joel - 13/02/2013 03:40:48 PM 827 Views
A priest can't marry, but a married person can become a priest. HyogaRott - 13/02/2013 03:51:02 PM 875 Views
Heh, yeah, I guess I slightly mischaracterized what you were saying. Joel - 13/02/2013 05:54:05 PM 984 Views
There are a bunch of semi-Catholic denominations that allow priests to marry. Legolas - 13/02/2013 06:06:13 PM 904 Views
That makes more sense. Joel - 13/02/2013 06:23:36 PM 942 Views
Here's my chance. I'm putting in my application. Palatine - 11/02/2013 04:20:52 PM 1058 Views
Unfortunately it matters due to the power he has... Wibble - 11/02/2013 04:42:25 PM 987 Views
Religions don't work that way. They are full of moral absolutes. There is no flexibility *NM* Dark Knight - 11/02/2013 06:10:19 PM 498 Views
Of course there is flexibility. The minute their money is threatened they flex like mad... *NM* Wibble - 11/02/2013 06:25:02 PM 467 Views
I'd imagine Unitarians and several other religions would beg to differ Isaac - 11/02/2013 09:28:39 PM 973 Views
Hah, are you kidding? beetnemesis - 13/02/2013 02:20:54 PM 1016 Views
You would like the Roman Catholic Church to do some good FOR ONCE?! Joel - 11/02/2013 08:00:26 PM 1057 Views
Well said. *NM* Ghavrel - 11/02/2013 10:55:18 PM 515 Views

Put on blinders much? HyogaRott - 11/02/2013 11:50:01 PM 966 Views

You really don't know how human psychology works, do you? Legolas - 13/02/2013 06:28:23 PM 921 Views
..and you don't get that it isn't what people will/may do, but what they should. HyogaRott - 15/02/2013 04:22:26 AM 1100 Views
It's not religion, it's HIV or no HIV. Legolas - 15/02/2013 10:45:52 PM 880 Views
it's not HIV or no HIV, it is about what people should do. HyogaRott - 16/02/2013 07:02:36 PM 1014 Views
Of course they don't have to teach people how to use condoms. Legolas - 17/02/2013 10:46:38 AM 864 Views
You're showing some glaring bias and hostility here Isaac - 12/02/2013 01:58:17 PM 864 Views
No, you are giving them far too little. Joel - 13/02/2013 03:33:03 PM 886 Views
The catholic church is significantly growing in Africa and with Hispanics. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 12/02/2013 03:41:54 AM 544 Views

Oops, I meant to reply here - As a catholic.....my take. Anonymous2000 - 12/02/2013 03:39:42 AM 994 Views
I'd say the chances are about as good... Dragonsoul - 12/02/2013 03:48:29 PM 1085 Views
So teh chances are excellent then! Good to know. Wibble - 12/02/2013 04:51:43 PM 930 Views
I doubt there's much of a chance of a real progressive. Stephen - 12/02/2013 06:38:14 PM 930 Views
IDK, two straight non-Italians? Will they put up with a 3rd? Has that even happened since Avignon? Cannoli - 13/02/2013 01:46:28 AM 973 Views
Who says Benedict/Ratzinger is straight? Roland00 - 13/02/2013 04:56:52 AM 850 Views
Don't think so, but the Italians will have to get used to it. Legolas - 13/02/2013 06:34:24 PM 854 Views
This will be a very interesting time. Dannymac - 13/02/2013 06:27:41 PM 970 Views
He's retiring into a monastery in the Vatican, as I understand it. Legolas - 13/02/2013 06:42:14 PM 981 Views
Now this would be interesting.... Jeordam - 13/02/2013 06:51:40 PM 945 Views
Right now I would settle for making up lost ground... Dannymac - 14/02/2013 05:02:38 AM 851 Views
