Originally posted by Pope Nicholas:1) Most of ur claims are based on a conspiracy best novel. I have actuallie read wadever u typed out b4 when i was researching on the realities of a jesuit plot. I have long came to the conclusion that they are jack-chick style propoganda.If you have read it before you would know that Father Malachi Martin was a former Jesuit Priest.
2) If the Catholic Church and the Jesuits is as sinister as u might protray it to be, why are u still alive? Do u tihnk they would let 650 million heretics walk free.... Instead of killing POpes, they be killing you.
3) Mr Simon Magus destroyed ur academic credibility
4) Provide me a list of approved assisanation...very rare.
5) I too can give u quotes abt how vulgar and sex crazed ur protestants fathers were.
Pls return to the holy trinity
"Historically rooted, extensively documented...significant reading for Christians, Jews or persons of no religious belief."How can you call it a mere novel?

One element of the controversy surrounding Martin is discussed here: "High Ranking Jesuit Confirms Malachi Martin's Status as Life Long Priest" by William H. Kennedy - April 2004.
In a stunning reversal of past policy Father Vincent O'Keefe SJ, former Vicar General of the Society of Jesus and a past President of Fordham University, affirmed that Malachi Martin was in fact granted a dispensation from all his vows in the Jesuit order except for chastity. This dispels decades of rumors that Father Martin was defrocked for having had an affair with the wife of a famous journalist. This was the false lie spread by past Jesuits to discredit Father Martin. Martin requested and received a special dispensation by Pope Paul VI to remain a Catholic priest and say Mass in private.
Why not?Originally posted by Pope Nicholas:And how can u quote Malachi and believe his conpiracy theories but denounce his dogmatic catholic beliefs as heresy? So Malachi is the Saviour of Christianity but a heretic as well....u cant have it both ways Skibi.
Its like saying stalin purges are horrible but the way he deals with the opposition rocks.Originally posted by Icemoon:Why not?
You need not agree to everything a person said or believe.
It is not like the Protestant belief of Bible - either it is inerrant or it is not.
can lah .. you can love and hate Machiavelli right?Originally posted by Pope Nicholas:Its like saying stalin purges are horrible but the way he deals with the opposition rocks.
How can skibi believe some unproven conspiracy theory but denounce this same man beliefs?

The Jesuits: The Society of Jesus and the Betrayal of the Roman Catholic Church (nonfiction), 1987(ISBN 0-671-54505-1)Any further comments?
Well if u want me to, i can easily find NON-FICTION books on how vulgar and sex-crazed Luther was and that he was possesed by Satan etc etc. I can do that as well.Originally posted by Skibi:Any further comments?
Originally posted by Pope Nicholas:It is God that is attacking the Catholic Church.
I mean it strengthens the Catholic Church's claim to being the True Church. If was nothing more than a institution of Satan or man, why would satan be bothered attacking it. Remember somewhere in Scriptures, it said, Satan will not leave his house divided. The fact he is attacked the Catholic Church proves its his enemy because its the Church Christ founded. U do not see anyone ever proclaiming/accusing a concerted effort by satan to destroy Protestant churches because they are not his enemy.
Erm, there is around 5 Jesuit priest in Singapore and I can swear none of them look like the ULTIMATE warrior. Give me facts instead of myths. Why dont u quote Alberto Reviera as well???Originally posted by Skibi:It is God that is attacking the Catholic Church.
Do you have any idea the kind of extreme physical and mental training Jesuits go through? It is tougher than all the toughest military training in the world combined past and present - SAS, Navy Seal, all pale greatly in comparison. Only the most fanatical(and disciplined), the most briliant, the most physically able ever become professed members of the society.
For a high ranking Jesuit Priest like Father Malachi Martin to recant his vows and renouce his order after having been purified in the crucible of Jesuit training to be devoid of pride, obstinacy, self-will, love of ease, judgment, soul, and conscience. That can only be the work of the Holy Spirit.
Just arguing if the Catholic Church had fallen...what abt the protestant church who have slacken in the onslaught of sexual immorailty.Originally posted by Icemoon:Mr Pope .. stop your tirade against the Protestant church lah. Skibi does not represent mainstream Protestant church.
One of my arguments is God cant be against the Church that stands alone in the face of sexually immorality eg contraceptives. Every other mainstream protestant church has fallen since 1930.Originally posted by Icemoon:What has the topic got to do with Protestant Church?
Isn't it about some Catholic internal affairs?
Originally posted by Pope Nicholas:Condoms are necessary for birth control. Can you imagine a poor family with too many children? The children will suffer unnecessarily, some even forced to turn to crime or the vice trade to survive.
And lastly, why is God attacking the Church that is standing alone against the onslaught of sexual immorality. Skimbi, I bet ur church feels condoms are alrite....
The Catholic Church has held contraception to be a grave evil for 2,000 years. This has been the teaching of the Fathers, the doctors, the saints, the medievals, and the popes. In fact, ALL Christian denoms held the same view as the Catholic Church, until the Anglicans at their Lambeth conference held it to be permissible under certain circumstances in 1930. Since then, most of the Protestant churches followed suit, and this has led to widespread decay in sexual immorality, including abortion. Only the Catholic Church, which is the true Church, has preached the TRUTH about contraception.Originally posted by Skibi:Condoms are necessary for birth control.

2000yrs? meaning 6AD? can you check the dates, I don't think the Church even exist yet.Originally posted by Pope Nicholas:The Catholic Church has held contraception to be a grave evil for 2,000 years.

So its alright for a poor family to steal and rob if his family is starving? Will u denounce God and His commandments if your life depended on it?
I dun think Skibi is a Christian.Originally posted by Pope Nicholas:Just arguing if the Catholic Church had fallen...what abt the protestant church who have slacken in the onslaught of sexual immorailty.
Mind you, im not going around claiming that God is against the CC
I asked already, still awaiting for answer...Originally posted by laoda99:I dun think Skibi is a Christian.
Why dun u ask him what religion he is from?
Fine...since 33AD...ever heard of rounding up.Originally posted by vince69:2000yrs? meaning 6AD? can you check the dates, I don't think the Church even exist yet.
contraception leading to widespread decay in sexual immorality, including abortion? is it possible for you show some stats on this claim? Thanks
personally? contraception is a 'tool' to prevent unwanted pregnancy that cause hardship to the family that cannot afford another mouth ..etc, its neither promote sexual immorality nor pre-marital sex, however I do agree that there are those who want to go into sexual immorality nor pre-marital sex abuse the usage of this 'tool'.
Other example will be the kitchen knife, its a tool that is useful is cutting up the food for cooking, it can also be a tool to commit murder (which is against the Ten Commandments).
Same goes to the Dynamite, a tool for mining and a tool for destruction.
Your argument using life and love is fallacious. because you can have life without love. think harder ..Originally posted by Pope Nicholas:If u wish to know why it is evil, it can be sum up in 1 sentence: Contraception is sinful because its separates life from love.
If u want bibical references, here it is one,
Gen. 38:8-10 - Onan is killed by God for practicing contraception (in this case, withdrawal) and spilling his semen on the ground.
The purpose of love is to create life.Originally posted by Icemoon:Your argument using life and love is fallacious. because you can have life without love. think harder ..
Scripture did not tell us the exact reason why Onan was killed. In fact you have committed the fallacy of "correlation implies causation" here.
Once again, another fallacy.Originally posted by Pope Nicholas:The purpose of love is to create life.
Here is the link which biblical reference in support of contraception is bad
http://www.scripturecatholic.com/contraception.html
Answer me, Why did every Protestant church view contraception was evil till 1930. Some protestant denom even say masturbation is good (my friend) for pleasure is godly.
