"Scripture or it didn't happen?"

[Father Thomas Martin]

Doesn't that contradict two verses in the Gospel of John?

Jn 20:30-31 (I used your faulty translation known as the KJV: Lord forgive me for using a false translation, but it is to bring a light to the LBC church in darkness):

30And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 31But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

Jn 21:25

25And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

There you have it. Valid Scriptural proof that your reasoning is faulty.

Of course there are other things that happened that aren't in the Bible. Jesus eating breakfast or having a bath. But does that mean we are just supposed to make things up like you papists? Of course not.

For the boundaries of debate, the source should be Biblical truth. Not hearsay and wild stories that have no chance of ever being validated and make you spew coffee out your nose when you hear them. Like talking to statues for example.

Very well put. If a teaching is necessary for salvation, why isn't it in the Bible? What sort of loving God would wait until 1950 to announce a teaching as necessary for salvation, as the Romanists claim He did? I'm still waiting for an answer as to what the Roman Catholic institution thinks happened to any death-cookie-eater who died before 1950.

I'm glad to see that you think God is a loving god, though I'd be happier if you'd say it outright instead of inserting that sort of thing into a question.

If a teaching is necessary for salvation, why isn't it in the Old Testament? For that matter, why isn't it in the five Books of Moses? If, as you Landover people believe, the Word is inspired by God, then why did he dribble his inspiration out over the course of several thousand years? And why do you think he just stopped suddenly two millenia ago?

I'm not saying I agree with all of Catholic dogma (I've got a lot of theological disagreements with them, though I'm not certain about these things as you are), but I don't think we can reject their teachings solely because of when they started teaching them. Surely the God who gave us the ability to discern the spiritual expects us to use it for some purpose other than rebuking our fellow human beings.

I've just read that three times and I fail to see where it says "Thou shalt worship Mary, wear skirts, kill kittens, and bugger 12-year-old boys."

It seems the world itself can hardly contain the books of MADE-UP CATHOLIC DOGMA that Catholics have written. You guys didn't even oppose abortion until the the mid-19th century!

There you have it. Valid Scriptural proof that your reasoning is faulty.

So this is your logic on how the Chief Building Inspector of Rome, the Pontus Maximus, became of what you Catholic's claim is the head of the Christian Church. While suffering Christ designated Tiberius Caesar, Pontus Maximus in 30AD, and his successors as church leaders off page, so to say.

Kind of ironic considering Tiberius legally was the one who ordered Jesus' exaction but I guess Tiberus as the first Pope explains the child molesting.

You are trying to push the Apocrypha, aren't you Mr Martin? It won't work. It didn't in 1611 and it won't now.

As we accept all of KJV as the word of God, you should, by rights, accept all of the Apocrypha including (here I quote from this site page 6):
(i) The Acts of John various animals obey the apostle: insects (60-1) and a serpent (71-6) or
(ii) the Acts of Thomas a lion tears a man who injured the apostle to pieces (6). Thomas orders a serpent to suck out the poison from a man whom it has bitten (31), a donkey delivers a speech on Jesus (39), and Thomas commands a wild ass to speak against the pagans (73).
(iii) And let's not forget the Life of Paul in which a young Christian man bites off his own tongue and spits it into the face of a woman seducer or
(iv) the Acts of John, where a young man castrates himself and casts his testicles before his temptress (53)

All good stuff that only a papist could believe!

Glory! I had a $10,000 bet with Brother Temperance that you'd be reading KJV 1611 before the end of July!

Mr Martin, you're coming along - we'll make a Baptist of you yet!
