Leaving out known facts is a lie!
For a thousand years they required infant baptism but when the public rejected the "born in sin" concept and began to stay away they ignored their previous position and avoided all the scripture it was based on. They get real interested when donations begin to falter.
For thousands of years the church hunted down, tortured and killed innocent young women for practicing witchcraft. Now that we all know there's no such thing as a witch they have shut up about it...the scripture is still there.
For more than 4000 years the church tolerated slavery and sometimes accomodated it. When one human owning another was no longer a fad or socially acceptable the church shut up about it and they never preach about it at all. All the scripture about slaves obeying their masters etc. is still in the bible but one never hears a formal word about it from the church.
Nothing is new about all this...the church is presently in the process of distancing itself from the flame and heat concept for one reason and one reason only...it doesn't work any more. Most people, regardless of what they say in public, are no longer "AFRAID" of god. They live their lives in the most convenient and comfortable way they can and somehow believe an hour and a half a week and a little of their money dropped into the collection plate is enough to be troubled by religious activity.
I've read and I understand the bible. It's message is two fold and what's happening in the modern society is that at least half of it is being ignored by both the church and it's members. Any negative scripture or any negative thoughts are basically ignored and in addition to that all the sermons which used to be hell fire and brimstone in nature are now carefully worded and slanted toward hell being the absence from god and his angels. Just another desperate ploy attempting to maintain attendance and donations.
While the church has amassed enormous wealth and more real property than any entity except the governments all over the world youngsters by the hundreds of millions have starved to death or suffer from malnutrition.
The church is failing. The statistics all over the world are mind boggling and even here in the "Christian Nation" the number of folks who claim no religious affiliation whatsoever has doubled in the last twenty years. The Internet will put the finishing touches on it. If all the Catholic Hispanic illegals had not been streaming across the border by the millions for the last 25 years the statistical reports would be even more dismal for American churches.
That's MR ignorant to you, bub.

Just curious.....why is it that you Christian bible thumpers never involve yourselves in anything resembling what's actually in the book?
100% of all deaths result in death.
Also, last time I checked, there are more Christians, and more Catholics, now than there were in 1910.

As a percentage?

You are babbling again.
Unless something happened I missed, the Catholic and Orthodox churches still practice infant Baptism.
The Catholic Church did hunt witches for a while, but they were rarely young women, and it did not last for thousands of years. The Church hasn't been around for thousands of years yet, they won't officially reach the age of two thousand until 2033. I guess that kinda blows your 4000 year history of slavery out of the water also.
Again, as far as I know, the Catholic church still preaches hellfire, as do quite a few other Christian sects. There are some sects, like Jehovah's Witnesses and Seventh Day Adventists, that don't, but they haven't ever preached it. No sect that preaches it is moving away from it, and no sect that doesn't ever has.
As for slaves obeying there masters, I could take you to churches that talk about that about once a month. They always talk about in the context of choosing God over sin, not enslaving blacks, the way your small mind thinks.
Also, last time I checked, there are more Christians, and more Catholics, now than there was in 1910.
What church you talkin' about?
4,000 years?
excommunicated Catholics have the greatest hate.
Would that include the hundreds of their clergy who couldn't wait to check the penis size of 10 year olds?
I wouldn't know. The only thing I have noticed is that ex Catholics are very bitter people when it comes to religion.
What church you talkin' about?
4,000 years?
He has no idea what he's talking about.
He knows nothing of Christianity or the Bible.

The know nothings are those who go about their business the most convenient way they can and put on good clothes, drop into a church once a week for an hour and a half, drop off their donation which goes to support the church maintennance and other fees and drive back home in their new car after hearing some prick who should get an honest job's weekly message which took a couple of bible verses and 45 minutes to prepare.....and go home with a clear conscience and a good feeling so they can go about their convenient business for another week. Anybody who reads the new testament completely and thinks that's all which is requried has their head up their ass so far that they'll never smell fresh air or see daylight again.
Somehow the apostles omitted the need for steeples, oak and mahagony pews, carpeting, stained glass, expensive musical instruments and sound systems, preacher's home and transportation expenses, 10% to the denomination or conference headquarters, religious retreats, youth programs, etc. I guess they just weren't thinking when they said, "Take No Thought For Tomorrow"

Thank you for proving my point.

Another one liner. You people either know nothing about what's in the bible or you have carpel tunnel syndrome and it hurts you to key a line or two.

I've forgotten more of what's written in the Bible than you currently know.
