Subject: Early church support for Peter as Pope? |
Bible Note: Ed: Actually, what you said was that "only God knows" whether the Reformation was good or evil and resulted in a weak, ineffective church. Do you really think that God leaves it all up to some cosmic "guessing game" like that? This all sprang out of Brian overreacting when I asked for a simple shred of evidence for a claim he was making. I did not declare him to be wrong (despite the fact I think he is). I simply wanted him to support his assertion, since the burden of proof lies on him. I did so in a polite marrer, and still I have not received an answer to my question, only a cry of being attacked which served to distract some individuals (*ahem*) from the issue of whether any such support exists. And then someone jumped in way too deep and moved the conversation in this direction. Wonder who that could have been, Ed? No one thinks that Luther and Calvin were saints (least of all, luther and Calvin themselves). Isn't it great, though, that sometimes when we sinful humans construct our soapboaxes with human hands, there is a clearly biblical, divine impetus behind it? :) --Joe! |
