Texan Bigotry

Dude, Ben...let other people handle saving Fun's soul please because you're really bad at it.

[Ben Kenobi]

Is this the same 'Jesus' who said he spoke in parables because he didn't want everyone to understand his message, change their ways and be forgiven

Let those who have ears, let them hear.

Is this supposed to be ironic because your hearing sucks...?

[Ben Kenobi]

Hmm, aren't there some Christian denominations that don't have a problem with gays? Or am I mistaken and he's claimed to be a Catholic.

I'm not seeing your point. Does it change what Christ taught? If anything - what you are saying here makes it an even greater problem. Or is it that, "if everyone believes that the emperor has clothes that means he's no longer naked?"

[Ben Kenobi]

It's a form of discernment. To those who are open to Christ's message, the parables speak to them. To those who are closed, the parables pass them by. But yes, the double entendre is irony.

Ok.

They seem to think so or it wouldn't be ok with them or am I missing something? They must think Christ taught something different. It's hard to believe that some denominations would think it's sinful but still be willing to join them in a church ceremony. But I guess the Catholics have a monopoly on knowing exactly everything that Christ taught. They couldn't possibly be wrong. There is only one true religion. GO POPE.

The real question becomes, why? Christ hasn't come to earth again. All of these Churches taught that sodomy was a sin. Were they wrong before or are they wrong now? They can't be both right.

Either all of these churches were wrong for centuries about what Christ taught and only got it right in the past few years, or they were right before and are wrong now. In either case, would it make you very confident that these people have a good understanding of God? If they got it right just now - why did it take them centuries to get it right?

They do have a monopoly. None of these other churches existed before 1500 years ago. Believing they are right and the Catholic church is wrong means that God abandoned his people for 1500 years before finally blessing his people with a true prophet, Luther. This is not so different from what the mormons believe, save replacing Luther with Joseph Smith.

I don't wonder why all I'm picturing here is three monkeys in familiar poses. I just don't know where to start here, so I won't.
Yes, Ben and the Catholic church is right and every other denomination is automatically wrong by not being first.

If the Catholic church today is the same church as the one founded by Jesus Christ, this is a significant argument for Apostolic succession and magisterial authority, two planks of Catholic doctrine. Both follow from this one assertion.

and also because he's concerned with the souls of others, when he himself has none

[Ben Kenobi]
