Moot point. Jesus loves everyone.

Exactly, the other person was bringing up something far fetched.

Every bible has errors in it, because every bible has a certain bias to it, and then there is the lack of understanding of the language, which can cause errors in the text.

'Bibles' printing outright lies, or adding too or subtracting from a scripture, should be handled with extreme prejudiced.

No, I was not bringing up something "far fetched."

Budge was critizing the Catholic Church for preventing Bibles with known errors from being published. I was asking if she would support the publishing of a Bible that protrayed Jesus as a stoner.

Your point is still moot.

This is actually quite funny, because in complaining about this, Budge is acknowledging errors in Bibles. Now the question is what is the perfect Bible? Who has a perfect Bible if you acknowledge errors in some. What proof is there that there is not errors in all, especially since fallible men did the translating. So then Budge believes the Bible is infallible if the originals existed but they don't. So there is no such thing as infallible scripture for her. Or do you have a perfect Bible from infallible translators Budge?

Budges new post is probably going to ignore what she admitted, ignore where she's wrong and manipulate the rest to go in her direction.

I'm talking about Thomas More, who says burn protestant bibles.[/quote]FullTruth, do you know why it used to be customary to burn Protestant Bibles? Not as an insult to Protestants, not as a way of expressing disgust over the translation, but out of respect.

Recently I accidentally put my Carmelite scapular through the washing machine. It was only flimsy and came out too raggedy to use any more. So I followed Catholic custom and buried it. If I had access to an open fire, I would have burned it. This is the respectful way to dispose of sacred objects that can't be used any more, such as worn-out scapulars, broken rosaries, and...mutilated Bibles.

Catholics consider Protestant Bibles to be mutilated because Luther removed seven books from the canon. Those Bibles are no longer perfect, no longer whole. They are broken books.

I wouldn't burn a Protestant Bible if one were given to me (it's a bit impractical, not to mention bad for the environment) but I would never use it.

[quote]If Roman Catholics want people to convert, don't send someone like St.ThomasMore out. He goes against the Pauline way of evangelism to become as one of the people you want to witness to.[/quote]

St Thomas More is apparently twelve years old. He has a lot of time to grow.

Burn Bibles with KNOWN errors?

You mean those translated from the Textus Receptus right that they wanted suppressed?

Actually all this book burning doesnt bode well for your churches history regarding religious freedom.

You're incorrect about why Protestant Bibles were burned. They were burned to make sure no-one ever read them again

And, BTW, I'm thirteen, almost fourteen: not twelve.

The Qu'ran is not the direct Word of God, so I don't consider it to be holy in the same way that a Bible is holy. Therefore, no. If I had a Qur'an that I did not want I would just send it to the recycling the way I do with all my unwanted books. If it were a Protestant Bible, I would at least try and dispose of it in the way I dispose of all sacramentals and blessed objects that aren't fit for use.

Actually, the mediaeval monasteries were the universities of their day. A treasury of learning was held in the libraries. The English monasteries were gutted by Henry VIII and many of those precious books were lost.

So now you're for religious freedom?

Budge--you need consistency in your sub-standard Catholic bashing.
