From the “Going away? Post so here!” Thread.
Probably realized a ton of the stuff they do outright contradicted the scripture that already existed so they had to make their own.
You really shouldn’t talk about something of which you really have no knowledge of the history of how it came to be.
He’s right, though. Evangelical Christianity, Catholicism, and Mormonism are essentially three different religions. Honestly, Islam has more in common with biblical Christianity than Mormonism does. They’re three very different ideologies.
There are differences between the three, but there is much in common. But that is not what I was talking about.
I could make a huge list of all the biblical verses and things that the Catholic church violates, but since no one will be interested by that I won’t waste my time.
You and Ricolie_2 and go back and forth if you wish on how much that Catholic does or not does not violate verses in the Bible. I wasn’t talking about that either.
And what history of Catholicism are you so familiar with that makes you more of an authority than he is?
I am not an expert by any means on the history of Catholicism.
What was talking about was how it came to be that there were books in the Catholic version of the Bible that are not in the Protestant version of the Bible. I am pretty those extra books didn’t get added in for the sole purpose of making the Bible fit more with the way the Catholic Church is today or the way it was at the time the Catholic Bible was made the official Bible of the Catholic Church.
