That is right - While I respect the rights of all to believe what they wish, I do not respect beliefs which are abusive.

They are abusive ALWAYS according to your OWN prejudged opinion. YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN DECIDE what is abusive and what is not



TAKE NOTE: HERE IS WHERE YOU LIE ONCE AGAIN. I never said anything of the sort - indeed I said the exact opposite.

BTW, One reason that I do not respect abusive beliefs is because of the love that I have for others. God's words in hating false beliefs goes much further than what I said.

Funny reasoning. You who claim to be closely following Jesus Christ example, do you remember HIS WORDS in the Cross: "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34)

Judging by the way that you mis-represented and lied about what I believe and said, it appears that investigation is not the issue - it is simply a matter of honesty. You did not have to investigate anything. I said it outright, and then you posted a claim that I said the exact opposite.

No comment. Totally pointless.

And are you saying that you DO respect abusive and hateful beliefs? Wow! Quite an admission.

Positively No comment. Totally pointless.

That's been done time and time again here [and, to clarify your sentence]--doctrines held by the Catholic Church that are against the teachings of the Bible. One is that Mary was sinless. Another is that she was a perpetual virgin. Another is that she ascended bodily into heaven. Another is that Peter was the first pope. Another is that priests cannot marry.

[/B]Would you please point out the parts of the Bible where it is written that the Virgin Mary WAS NOT sinless, or that she WAS NOT a Virgin, or that she DID NOT ASCEND bodily into Heaven or that Peter WAS NOT TO BE the first Pope or that priests CAN MARRY. I ask you this because if the beliefs you mention are against the teachings of the Bible there MUST BE specific mentions to that effect in the Scriptures.[B]

[B]For instance, there must be some reference in theN.T. to the effect that St. Peter WAS NOT TO BE the first Pope.. [B]

[B]]But, even assuming that you may find these references -which I do not think you will- can you please tell me how on earth the above conceptual beliefs may change Jesus Christ' message to help us enter the Kingdom of GOD?[B].

Sorry to say, but it appears that this thread is degenerating as seems to be the norm.
