Yes it kind of hard to be associated and not associated in the same breath. Excellent commentary Auldsoul! My MIL wont even broach the subject with me anymore. I think she believes I am the spawn of Satan.

My "un"association letter

by AuldSoul in

.

the name was suggested by someone who posts here, since it is not really a disassociation letter.

here, for your criticism pleasure, is my "un"association letter..

Excellent letter Auldsoul. Very nicely written! I am sorry they opted to DA you. One would think they would think twice about doing that with the way you worded it. They must not fear becoming bloodguilty in the least. (shaking head with disbelief)

Does "science" really contradict the Bible?

friends

i need some help from christians that believe in science and the bible.

i have been debating my college science professor.

he feels that the bible contradicts itself and also feels that science proves the bible to be full of errors.

Has not science proved that the sun did in fact stand still some day in the distant past? Or am I wrong on this.

Hello Old Soul,

Would you say the Catholic Church went apostate from what was taught by the Apostles?

Yes. I have several Scriptures that demonstrate that for anyone who is interested. Especially do Paul's writing strip authority from groups of men who "rise up" from among congregations and claim to speak for God. The book of Galatians makes this more clear than any other, in my opinion, and it is a relatively short book.
Every codified Christian religion I know of whose doctrine includes a "body of select," "Governing Body," "Clergy," etc. try to use Acts 15 in support of that doctrine. Galatians utterly destroys the notion that Paul viewed the men in Jerusalem that way.

I would like you to post or pm me the scriptures that you have that strips authority from those who claim to speak for God or make "we have the truth" claims if you would be so kind and have them handy. I have a Catholic friend that I go round and round with in this regard.

Thank you so much,

Toreador

Hello Old Soul,

Would you say the Catholic Church went apostate from what was taught by the Apostles? Do you feel there is an ongoing gathering of people at this time in history. Just curious as to you comment
