@rangeredge1621@glennbeck Glen criticized the person of not being a Christian because he denied the resurrection. Mormons deny the trinity as well as believing God was a mortal being. How is that not on topic? I'm pointing out his hypocrisy.
@BiblicalHitmen@Protestia Ecumenical has lost its meaning. Traditionally its between Catholic and Orthodox and High Lutherans Anglicans etc. Actual Christians not this interfaith slop.
@wtony_tony@Xtopher_Uzo The point being made was the man loved his money more than he did salvation.
"When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth."
@DavidJo83128980@KateKcollins1 Most ex Catholics left the Church becasue they found a Protestant church that affirms their sin they enjoy too much to give it up.
@Fistro5@SandyofCthulhu That was Pope Stephen VI that put Formosus's corpse on trial. It shocked the Roman public and ignited a massive riot. Within months, Pope Stephen VI was overthrown, imprisoned, and strangled to death in his cell.
@JayDorian3@michaeljknowles You do realize that Christians were persecuted in that point in history. And we have archaeological evidence that the places of worship that early Christians used were very colorful with icons painted everywhere.
@ChristandGuitar@RevIsaacWirtz There is no false believers in Calvinist theology. Either you are elect or reprobate. So it doesn't matter if you believe or not. Your fate has already been determined by a fickle God.
@Daykerpriest Don't forget there is a large population of squibs (non magical) born to Wizarding families. They also need jobs and would fill the needs for everyday labour that would not be practical for magic.
@Deep_Fried_Jeff@virtualhistoria@ChadTheBad Yes! There is this misconception that the Church was this all powerful overseer that controlled the world back in the day. Far from it the Church was always in a struggle with secular authorities, Emperors, and Kings. Constantius II and King Philip IV of France come to mind.
