Martin Luther translated the Holy Bible from Latin into German.
The language of the people and the Pope tried to prevent it
because He wanted to keep the people ignorant so they would
have to listen to what he said. Easter is also from a pagan
source and was adopted to replace the Passover of the Jews,
since the Pope hated the Jews and wanted nothing t ...[text shortened]... to Christmas to make it seem
Christian.
P.S.

we have had too many conflicts with R. C. v anglicans blood spilt on both side in the name of christ its a curse on both houses, but we now have moved on if you have read as much as i think you have then shurely that message has come across and learn from each other

Originally posted by stokerReligious beliefs aside, if you follow the geological evidence, the last time the earth's magnetic field switched was around 800,000 years ago. You may have misread your source, because I believe there is a suggestion that such a reversal would take 10,000 years to complete.
i think you may find the magnetic field switchs on average every 10,000 years according to findings.
assumptions should be questioned, even ones of faith. we have learnt that much surely

I believe in the Holy Bible and it appears to mean to support a young
earth of only a few thousand years in age. Also the scientific evidence
that I'm aware of, when properly evaluated, supports a young earth
when compared to the billions of years imagined by evolutionist to
support their theory. The real evidence will not even support an earth

churches accept the Christmas and Easter as established by the RCC.
Most do, not all. The original Christian churches were made up of
mostly Jews. But when the Emperor Constantine declared Christianity
the state religion, all the gentile Pagans flooded in and took it over
due to their greater number since most of the Jewish Christians had
already been put to death for their religious beliefs in opposition to
Rome. Much has been learned over time however the wounds from
the apostate church have not completely healed and the memories
will last long after.

Originally posted by RJHindsI'm going to go with my gut here and say that humans have been around (in our current form) for 500 000 years. This is at odds with science and YEC's.

I really cant believe that you could believe the world was only about 6000 years old. What about carbon dating? It's not accurate, sure, but it does say that things are like 50 000+/- 5000 years old. So even then the thing being measured is like at least 45 000 years old.
So how do you deal with carbon dating? You have to explain it somehow or else it just blows your whole argument out of the water.

neutral to the war. It is the leaders that cause all the problems. They
are never satisfied with the power and influence they have.
Yes some of the wounds are healed, I suppose, but the Roman Catholics
keep trying to justify the wrong they did, in most cases. They do have
good people that have been brought up Catholics and I am not talking
about those that or ignorant or have little influence in changing their
false teachings. But there are those up at the top that must know and
allow things to remain as they are.
