I did not know any of that.

Wikipedia actually has a fascinating list of Christian heresies. I stumbled on it looking what what the different heresies in Crusader Kings II were about

I try to be a good Catholic. In fact I missed almost the entire first half of the Lady Tigers because I was at confession. I had plenty to talk about.

No one understands the Holy Trinity; not even the Pope. There are some things you have to accept on faith alone.

You are correct. There is just one Christianity

In which each denomination disagrees about which books belong in the Bible and how to interpret the books they include.

Not all deminoatios interpet the Bible the same way, although they get the basic tenet of Christianty.

I would even tell you that some are completely off-base with their teachings, but that's another thread.

Does that make them not Christian?

That Jesus paid for our eternal salvation thtoug His sacrifice.


That's not for me to judge, nor would I want man to judge me for my sins.


Churches losing their way is as old as the Biblr. I'm sure your familiar witj Paul's letters to the churches.

Churches are run by people, and we aren't perfect.

A person could have only a few verses of one book and know how to be born again. Atheists and those who choose not to believe try to confuse people with this same argument.

Can’t someone believe that without believing that “god” is three persons in one? That doesn’t seem inherently linked to me.

Great, please tell me which of those “few” verses mandates the belief in a triune god.

Sounds to me like humans are more and more able to discern bullshite at younger ages than in the past.

I was born in 1960 and was 9 when I figured it out. But the same was not true of the majority of my peers.

If you don’t believe in the trinity, you aren’t Christian. That’s all there is to it.

Catholic heresies. Doesn’t inherently make them Christian heresies.


Actually, it does. When the early church heresies took place, there was only one Christian church and it was the Catholic Church. They happened before the great schism and long before protestanism.

I don't know a single Christian that speaks harshly about any non-believer.


Except when they're telling non-believers that they are condemned to hell.

You forgot that part.

So are Catholics not Christian or are Protestants not Christian?

Catholics are the OG Christians, Protestants are different flavors of the heresies

There are more than double the usual amount of candidates and catechumens being confirmed this Easter in the Houston-Galveston diocese.

Scam is humans evolved from nothing


A scam is when someone takes something from you (money, property, etc.) under false pretenses.

People who believe in evolution don't do that.
