I have to wade in here...for the most part, I have never heard a protestant apologize for Paul. (the only caveat I will tack on is on a few isolated things like "well, he was a bit too hard on gays/women" type of thing.) Just thought I'd share

Something just occurred to me. (Yeah, I'm slow.) You said that it was likely the virgin Mary had no sex organs. So...how could she then give birth? I mean...to quote Monty Python..."Where's the foetis going to gestate? You going to keep it in a box?" Not trying to be a jerk...I'm just curious.

What is Hell? Sheol? Ghenna? The Abyss? The Lake of Fire? Same locations? Different ones? Satan and everyone not saved will be thrown into the Lake of Fire, to burn for all eternity, according to Revelations. So, Satan would not be "in charge" unless you want to count being in charge of...

Seems to me that if you blaspheme the Holy Spirit...that would be one way to lose salvation.

God's Peon said: Please tell me if I am reading it wrong.  I am aware of the "dual creation" in Genesis...your points are interesting, because most apologetics that I have seen claim that the second one was just more detail than the first. Interesting. So...the way you understand it, God...

I have to ask (in a nice way)...how did the seed of Adam (by which I assume you mean Adam's children) become the "Sons of God?" I mean, everyone was descended from Adam, unless I really misunderstood Genesis. As for the "Daughters of men" including males...that would make no sense. "mankind"...

It is up to we the people whether women are allowed to be senators. We do have the power disallow that, as well as the vote. So...you don't know if women should or not? (I just want to make sure I understood you correctly...and, as far as it goes...the other shoe (so to speak) is not going to...

Revised Standard Version. Mark 3:31 - 32 [31] And his mother and his brothers came; and standing outside they sent to him and called him. [32] And a crowd was sitting about him; and they said to him, "Your mother and your brothers are outside, asking for you." *shrug*

Please, define what "traditional values" are. BTW, remember that CC is a woman, and she can tell you what to do. Do you feel that women should not have a voice in the government? I mean, should they be senators, should they be allowed to vote? Also, if you do not mind, please xplain why women...

Leo, a question. Mary appeared over Europe quite often. Yet, Church attendance in Europe is quite low. Why?

'pology accepted.   Well, I like to think I was nice to Romans, up until the end...and, quite bluntly, I'm rougher over there to everyone. Thank you. Honestly, I was expecting to be banned when I first arrived.  Now, I figure I won't.  I respect boards, period.  If this were any board that...

OK...if Jesus was in Heaven, and came down, he descended. But he did not descend, he was born. Like wise, after he died, his spirit descended into hades/hell/ghenna/abraham's bosom and allowed them to enter heaven (IIRC, it never said he himself went up to heaven/paradise at that point). His...

No. Hancock was not illiterate.

I find your choice of messanger to be...interesting. An unrepentant, lying, non-Christian. Very well. Let us look at the issue you bring up. Joseph may well have acted in the role of daddy to Jesus. That does not make him the father (sperm donor) for genaeological purposes. That is indeed...

Yet Clinton is no longer President. Bush knocked up a 16 yo girl, and got her an abortion. *shrug* I just see some hypocracy there...By the same token, the Democrats are hypocrits too. On the flip side, I have no problem with you complaining about Clinton...as long as you don't have a problem...

Then doesn't that make Jesus kinda sorta not so special?

John 21:25 - Jesus did a bunch of other stuff. So much that it would be a really, really lot of books. John 17:20-21 - Jesus prays to his father...I would have assumed that that was Jehovah, not Joe. John 16:13 - The spirit of truth will guide you. So...are you of the Orthodox/Eastern Rite...

I agree, Leo. Regardless of the fact the Bush was not even elected in a fair election here, the rest of the world despises him, and by proxy, us. (I will cease complaining about Bush's "election" once he either wins a fair election or the conservatives quit bellyaching about Clinton, who was...

Wouldn't want a "Jake" thing to happen again... ;) (that was humor...or an attempt thereof.)

Immaculate conception = Madonna was born without original sin. It is often (and incorrectly) thought to refer to Jesus. I would like to hear where you got the whole sperm from Joseph thing. I don't recall that being mentioned in any of the 4 gospels.
