I appreciate your alleged concerns - I use...MtnMan<br /><br />I appreciate your alleged concerns - I used to think much of the same things about the Catholic Church. <br /><br />But, having come "from the other side", I can safely say that your claims that the Church is "the most paganized institution on the face of the earth" is unfounded. The Church does NOT practice necromancy or idol worship. <br /><br />Purgatorial penance and transubstantiation are wholesome doctrines, which can be proved from Scripture, Church history, and reason.<br /><br />Paedophilia is certainly a scandal in the Church - but it does not happen to the degree that you (and many think) that it does. The LARGE MAJORITY of priests have never been guilty of paedophilia. And the problem is just as rife outside of the Church as it is within. Of course, this will NEVER excuse the fact that men, who have been called to holiness, should NEVER be engaged is such despicable and terrible acts. In fact, I think this is one reason why the Catholic Church is attacked more than any other institution in this matter - it's because of the Church's high calling to holiness that makes this scandal so terrible.<br /><br />As for the Catholic Church killing "as many Christians as the Muslims have" - again this in an unfounded statement without historical basis. Sure, Catholics have done bad things in the name of the Church - but that's not uncommon to human nature. Religion is often used as the guise to justify hatred. For example, your post...<br /><br />The "Whore of Babylon" - that's a reference to an image in the book of Revelation. Unfortunately, you have interpreted Revelation incorrectly and failed to see that it really is a prophecy about the destruction of Jerusalem in AD70. The Whore of Babylon is first century Jerusalem, which had apostatised because the crucified their Lord and persecuted His Apostles and His Church. In fact, St. John even tells us in the book that Babylon is a reference to Jerusalem.<br /><br />Slander rather than the sword? Hardly. I was simply making observations of the Natsarim claims from an outsiders perspective.<br /><br /><br />Perhaps, rather than making attacks which have NOTHING to do with my original blog post, I suggest that you actually deal with the issues I have raised.<br /><br />For starters, perhaps you can show me how the Natsarim are able to show at least the following:<br /><br />1) A line of succession that stretches all the way back to our Lord and His Apostles; and<br /><br />2) A uniformity of doctrineJustin Geldarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18421255545472085832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791905807871268056.post-10989978540374182682014-03-06T11:39:20.980+08:002014-03-06T11:39:20.980+08:00Ironic, coming from the most paganized institution...Ironic, coming from the most paganized institution on the face of the earth. Necromancy, idol worship, purgatorial penance, transubstantiation, pedophilia....Remove the beam(s) from your own eye before you try to remove the mote from your brother's. The RCC has killed as many Christians as the Muslims have. So now it's slander rather than the sword?Get off your high horse.
