...which means, as per my last post, that Rome CANNOT be the Great Whore of Rev 17!

But if you are correct, then Catholics should be killing other Christians more recently than the 16th century - Rev 17 is after all eschatological in nature - eg: if you believe that we are living in the End Times, you would expect the Papacy to be issuing the Catholic equivalent of fatwas...

Your evidence doesn't add up or support your thesis: Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, New Agers, Astrologers, Spiritualists etc, all practise false religions, yet none of them persecute those who do not adhere to their particular bogus brand. No, I think you were bang on the money when you said...

Now you're changing the goalposts: I simply said that no-one denomination has a get-out when it comes to atrocities. It matters didly-squat to me whether that was on racial, religious, social, cultural, whatever grounds. Google is your friend when it comes to evidence of SBC collusion with the...

Also be careful of equating ethnicity with language eg: your average African-American speaks an Indo-European language (English) but is not ethnically Indo-European. In the same way, most English people, whilst we speak an Algo-Saxon rather than Brythonic tongue, have more than a trace of...

Munster and its abuses is of course well-documented. The SBC was founded on racist tenets and members assisted in the foundation of the KKK. Interesting discussion here

No, Orthodox don't believe in eternal security: Orthodox, like Catholics and Arminians, are synergist in their soteriology ie: they believe that the believer co-operates with God's saving grace to maintain his/her salvation and that therefore that salvation may be forfeit if the believer...

So, are your a Doctor or are you indeed embarrassing yourself by pretending to be something you're not? If it's the latter, that very much calls into question the accuracy and authenticity of everything else you say...which would make sense...

In your parallel, bigoted universe, perhaps. Meanwhile, back on Planet Earth...

Ivan the Terrible? If so, you're wrong in your analysis. The schism between East and West happened in 1054; Ivan wasn't born until 1530.

Munster? And don't tell me no Free Church members were never involved in the lynching of blacks in the Deep South. No-one gets off scot-free in the atrocities stakes.

No. That's the myth.

Well, none of them had the Synoptics until at least 70AD, probably later. John's Gospel and Revelation were not written until the 90sAD. So that kind of blows your theory out of the water.

So...um.. how many of the NT books did each of the churches have?

Same with John Fisher. Of course, the fact that Protestants can be beastly as well as Catholics won't suit Walter's revisionist version of history but never mind...

Point taken to an extent; however if you read the accounts of Campion's martyrdom, he personally told the Queen that he recognised her as lawful sovereign; it was for refusing to renounce his Catholicism for which he was condemned. And none of that gets Calvin or the Salem lot off the hook...

Reformation Day?

The URC is also one of the more liberal denominations these days...

I don't think Rome has exactly a monopoly on religiously-motivated killing. Who pressed Margaret Clitheroe to death? Or executed Edmund Campion? And many other Catholics? And that's just in England. I could mention Michael Servetus in Geneva. Or the Salem witch-trials in 1692. Need I go on?

I think you'll find that you were first in with the insults when you demeaned our Catholic and Orthodox brothers and sisters in Christ. Of course, you will say that they are not Proper Christians(TM), that they are some kind of spiritual untermenschen compared to your own oh-so-superior brand of...
