Yours one sentence is so specific "holocausts", what holocausts?
Are you denying that the holocaust, led by a Catholic Hitler, took place?
No, no, no...you can't blame the Holocaust on Catholicism just because Hitler CLAIMED to be a Catholic. He believed Jews were subhuman and that all forms of Protestantism was for weaklings...he was merely impressed by the power the Catholic Church held and claimed to be a Catholic/Christian because he would say anything to make the people like him. He also buddied up to the Vatican with his lies to gain support and power but he wasn't truly a Catholic at all. Catholics and clergy were killed in concentration/death camps as a part of Hitler's religious persecution...he was, in fact, an irreligious man who only believed in a German/Aryan "God".
HE WAS A MADMAN...his lies about his religious views mean nothing because they were just lies. So, if you were to alter your statement to say "Are you denying that the Holocaust, led by a madman Hitler, took place?", you would then be correct.edit on 8/1/2013 by jcutler12888 because: (no reason given)
I would like to agree with you, but the holocaust was not just a one time thing. Catholics and Protestants have been murdering Jews, both naturally born and spiritual, and others that they accuse as "heretics", "witches", "cultists"... throughout its history.
Yeah, they also been killed each other and their own under the same terms...as have Jews and Muslims as well. What you're failing to see is that under those terms, NONE of the Abrahamic faiths' hands are clean. The flaw in that argument is that you're ascribing the actions of few to many...just because a group of Protestants did something terrible doesn't mean all Protestants are guilty of that specific group's crimes, and that applies to Catholics, Jews, and Muslims.
Christianity's hands are clean, but Catholicism/Protestantism is not Christianity.
TJ, there are BILLIONS of Catholics and Protestants who are true Christians. HEY, I JUST REMEMBERED THAT THIS IS WHAT WE DISCUSSED ON THAT OTHER THREAD!!! Okay, anyway, here's the thing (which I've said to you before)...it is not up to you to say who is and isn't a Christian, no matter what denomination they follow. You don't truly know the heart of anyone, especially billions of people you've never met, so you can't go around making these ignorant, narrow-minded proclamations about the status of other people's faith.edit on 8/1/2013 by jcutler12888 because: (no reason given)
To be a Christian, one must be born of the water and the Spirit like Jesus said.

Yeah, and why do you think that no Catholics or Protestants are born of the water and the Spirit? I mean, seriously? Not even ONE out of BILLIONS?

Their priests/ministers do not baptize in the name of Christ. Their priests/ministers teach that Spirit baptism is from the devil.

The trinitarian version of John 1:1-2 makes a mess...
In the beginning was Jesus, and Jesus, who is not God, was with Jesus, who is God, and Jesus, who is God, was God. Jesus, who is not God, was with Jesus, who is God in the beginning. (John 1:1-2 NIV)
So there are two Jesus'. One God the other not God.
I'll take Jesus' definition of Christian.
The Messieh is not a non-personal object.
Due to the Plan of the Son of God being God

Wow, I'm not even sure what heresy that would equate to.

If the priest/minister does baptize in the name of Christ, they are not really Catholic/Protestant since that baptism is considered to be heresy to both groups.

Pantheism.
That's what you're claiming with your statement:

That would be a hybrid Arian and Jehovah's Witness version
Christians who subscribe to a Trinitarian theology proper and Christology believe Jesus is God the Son, is not God the Father, or God the Holy Spirit. And believes God is one, who exists as 3 person hoods, coequal and coeternal.

No, we are not, because Modalism is nonsense.
Christianity is not based on Greek theatre -- God is not an actor.

Then why would you speak of an abstract thing as deity? You even capitalized the p in plan. Not only is that a fallacy called "reification", if you meant it it's basically Pantheism.

Um, Word, (Logos), is a metaphorical title John ascribes to Jesus, the Son of God.
