    Are you or are you not gointo answer the questions asked of you?

    I have answered all relevant questions.

    Jesus is on earth. The Bible says that He alone is head of the church. I do not need anything else.

    Apparently you don't like the answer. I cannot help that.

    Here we go round the mullberry bush. This is getting old Tom. :(

    So you'll post pages of evasions because you don't want to "hijack" the thread--even though it's not hijacking because the OP and the rest of us want you to explain your claim--but you won't answer the question. That's pretty flimsy rationalizing. You can either answer the question or admit that you can't answer it. It's pretty clear that you can't answer it, so why not just admit it?

    Well, I do not agree with hijacking of threads. This small groups seems to take pleasure in getting thread after thread shut down.

    Then Akoue refuses to start a new thread because he says that it apparently is contrary to a policy by the mods and will be shut down. If it is not an issue on here, hijacking a thread, then it should be no issue in a new thread.

    All the time wasted avoiding the issue by Akoue would be plenty of time to start a new thread. Something that he apparenly fears.

    This thread is about Peter
    Please address that AND answer the questions asked about your accusation concerning Constantine.
    That is what the questions were about, not about Jesus.

    Second verse same as the first, a little bit louder and a little bit worse!

    Akoue, you know better. If you believed for a moment what claim, you'd be starting that thread. But you use the "mods will shut it down excuse" and instead hijack every other thread.

    That's right, Akoue is the mean guy who expects you to back up your claims. You insist that others support their claims with evidence. Now it is your turn to do the same. You're trying to pick fights in the hope that you can wait out the closing of the thread. But this has gone on long enough that it's obvious to anyone reading that you like making dismissive claims about the Catholic Church but, when push comes to shove, you haven't the wherewithal to back up those claims. So prove me wrong: Give us evidence for your assertion that the Catholic Church was begun by Constantine in the fourth century.

    You know I’ve really got to question why a person would claim to have “the Light of the World” and then sticks said light under a basket. Let’s see how many lumens your light has, if any.

    Oh Tom, this is embarrassing, you're the only one that's believing your crap. Why don't you just give up already, admit that you cannot substantiate your claims and then we can move on. Is it that hard for you to admit you're wrong?

    Page after page of you dodging and ducking.

    Please read what we've all written, comprehend it, then either answer the darn question asked of you or admit that you can't.

    I swear, if I read the word hijack again I'm going to get my whip. ;)

    But you haven't. As Altenweg has suggested, if you have answered it then it would be easy to cut and paste. I've been asking you to explain this assertion since November. You haven't done it. So here's your opportunity: You have an engraved invitation from us all. Now answer the question.

    And I've never witnessed a grown man squirming so desperately. It's funny to see how you behave when you are pressed to justify your claim.

    Hijacked, putting your foot down. Who do you think you are? God?

    Boys, I believe that we've gotten our answer. Tom is pulling things out of thin air, has nothing to substantiate his claims and is now trying to (unsuccessfully) sidetrack us with talk of hijacking and tactics.

    Blah, blah, blah. Too late, you had your chance to prove your position. In fact, we gave you page after page, post after post of chances to state your claim.

    You didn't, so you, we're right.

    I'm more than willing to hear your side of things, but as of yet, you haven't stated your side, so I can only conclude that you don't have anything to back you up.

    If it gets shut down, it won't be me shutting it down. I was trying to keep it on topic by asking Akoue to stop hijacking it and start a nother thread to ask his question.

    I agree Fred. But really, it was about time someone gave him a taste of his own medicine.

    Now that there's a new thread there's no reason to continue the argument.

    That is a rather vague vague question. Entire volumes of books have been written on it, and it has nothing about your denomination. I thought that what you were asking was specific to your denomination. We'll see how the discuss goes.
