You're missing a really key point Jeordam Send a noteboard - 13/02/2013 09:13:32 PM
2 Timothy 3:15-17

"15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."

Notice that there is no hedging that bet? All scripture. And well, here's a topic that we often discussed at school...do you think that the council that decided what was and was not cannon was not similarly inspired? That the books that made it, and the books that did not were chosen for a purpose? Do you truly believe that God would leave something like that up to us alone? You know as well as I do that God acts in today's day and age.

Have a little faith dude. ;)

Luke or Paul? Isaac - 13/02/2013 04:36:27 PM 760 Views
That is what I get for only having decaf coffee this morning... HyogaRott - 13/02/2013 05:43:57 PM 826 Views
I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this point. Jeordam - 13/02/2013 06:36:03 PM 680 Views

Hate to jump you again but are you sure you mean Timothy? Isaac - 14/02/2013 11:54:00 PM 816 Views
Yep, I ment Timothy HyogaRott - 15/02/2013 04:18:21 AM 783 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 904 Views
Why wouldn't it still be devinely inspired? Jeordam - 13/02/2013 06:44:07 PM 815 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 792 Views
You're missing a really key point Jeordam - 13/02/2013 09:13:32 PM 838 Views
You are using an epistle to say every word of all epistles is divinely inspired? Joel - 13/02/2013 10:00:36 PM 967 Views
Let us take it full circle: The ecclesiastical authority of women Joel - 13/02/2013 10:21:26 PM 856 Views
Shouldn't you be able to answer this question from what you just wrote? Jeordam - 13/02/2013 11:02:28 PM 866 Views
Oh, certainly; I just felt like I was dragging you with me kicking and screaming. Joel - 14/02/2013 01:05:14 AM 829 Views
So Roman Catholic priests CAN marry, under tortuous conditions? Interesting.... Joel - 13/02/2013 03:40:48 PM 714 Views
A priest can't marry, but a married person can become a priest. HyogaRott - 13/02/2013 03:51:02 PM 746 Views
Heh, yeah, I guess I slightly mischaracterized what you were saying. Joel - 13/02/2013 05:54:05 PM 862 Views
There are a bunch of semi-Catholic denominations that allow priests to marry. Legolas - 13/02/2013 06:06:13 PM 763 Views
That makes more sense. Joel - 13/02/2013 06:23:36 PM 826 Views
Here's my chance. I'm putting in my application. Palatine - 11/02/2013 04:20:52 PM 939 Views
Unfortunately it matters due to the power he has... Wibble - 11/02/2013 04:42:25 PM 877 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 417 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 409 Views
I'd imagine Unitarians and several other religions would beg to differ Isaac - 11/02/2013 09:28:39 PM 848 Views
Hah, are you kidding? beetnemesis - 13/02/2013 02:20:54 PM 917 Views
You would like the Roman Catholic Church to do some good FOR ONCE?! Joel - 11/02/2013 08:00:26 PM 942 Views
Well said. *NM* Ghavrel - 11/02/2013 10:55:18 PM 455 Views
You give them too much credit. Wibble - 11/02/2013 11:19:06 PM 926 Views
Put on blinders much? HyogaRott - 11/02/2013 11:50:01 PM 849 Views
I lol'd. *NM* Wibble - 11/02/2013 11:54:09 PM 431 Views
Grant me Chastity and Continence, But Not Yet! *NM* Roland00 - 12/02/2013 03:35:26 AM 363 Views
Chastity: A Virtue best found in others *NM* Isaac - 12/02/2013 12:53:26 PM 361 Views
and continence too, apparently..... *NM* moondog - 14/02/2013 12:18:22 AM 430 Views
Well said. Cannoli - 13/02/2013 01:43:47 AM 729 Views
You really don't know how human psychology works, do you? Legolas - 13/02/2013 06:28:23 PM 802 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 983 Views
It's not religion, it's HIV or no HIV. Legolas - 15/02/2013 10:45:52 PM 764 Views
it's not HIV or no HIV, it is about what people should do. HyogaRott - 16/02/2013 07:02:36 PM 847 Views
Of course they don't have to teach people how to use condoms. Legolas - 17/02/2013 10:46:38 AM 758 Views
You're showing some glaring bias and hostility here Isaac - 12/02/2013 01:58:17 PM 742 Views
No, you are giving them far too little. Joel - 13/02/2013 03:33:03 PM 748 Views
The catholic church is significantly growing in Africa and with Hispanics. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 12/02/2013 03:41:54 AM 485 Views
Oh, that. Palatine - 12/02/2013 03:04:42 PM 712 Views
That's such a load Cannoli - 13/02/2013 01:39:45 AM 799 Views
Oops, I meant to reply here - As a catholic.....my take. Anonymous2000 - 12/02/2013 03:39:42 AM 872 Views
I'd say the chances are about as good... Dragonsoul - 12/02/2013 03:48:29 PM 965 Views
So teh chances are excellent then! Good to know. Wibble - 12/02/2013 04:51:43 PM 810 Views
I doubt there's much of a chance of a real progressive. Stephen - 12/02/2013 06:38:14 PM 776 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 837 Views
Who says Benedict/Ratzinger is straight? Roland00 - 13/02/2013 04:56:52 AM 738 Views
Don't think so, but the Italians will have to get used to it. Legolas - 13/02/2013 06:34:24 PM 736 Views
This will be a very interesting time. Dannymac - 13/02/2013 06:27:41 PM 869 Views
He's retiring into a monastery in the Vatican, as I understand it. Legolas - 13/02/2013 06:42:14 PM 854 Views
Now this would be interesting.... Jeordam - 13/02/2013 06:51:40 PM 828 Views
Right now I would settle for making up lost ground... Dannymac - 14/02/2013 05:02:38 AM 735 Views
Pope Bene-victed... Raserei - 19/02/2013 07:56:17 AM 1014 Views
