  Despicable! One thing is to reserved judgement another one is to display your incoherent ignorance on tweeter or is it an agenda?

• Rick Warren’s Son Used an Unregistered Gun He Bought on the Internet to Commit Suicide — and Warren Has a Message for the Person Who Sold It to Him

  Hey thanks for the explanation! I wasn’t sure about the law requirements, this changes my perspective on the issue.

  However from a subjective point of view is very hard to judge a parent after going through something like this. It just highlight the importance of distinguishing emotional arguments vs rational arguments. Todays society place so much emphasis on the emotional dimension of issues instead of their substance. Great examples are gun control and same-sex marriage in which proponents main argumentative thrust is based on subjective emotions rather than rational distinctions.

  Point of clarification: Is selling an unregister gun illegal? I assumed it was but I am not sure…

  Two points:

  1. I agree with everyones comments referring to the act of selling a gun: in itself is not sinful. However if the person illegally sold an unregistered gun, then that is a different question and there might be a degree of culpability.

  2. Independently whether Pastor Warren is right or wrong about the culpability of the gun seller in his mind the person committed a grave offense in selling the gun illegally (the gun was unregistered) and it is commendable that (within his frame of thinking) he choose to forgive.

  I hope I was clear, I do not think that selling gun is sinful (as long you are not selling knowing that the gun is going to be use to commit an evil act) or illegally. Other than the gun was unregister there is no evidence that the internet seller knew the purpose.

  Keep the Pastor and his family in your prayers. I lost like this one is very hard.

• This Is How 5 Catholic Leaders Killed During Argentina’s Brutal Dictatorship Could Become Saints (It Involves Pope Francis)

  However it was Christ who used his Church to safeguard divine revelation…that is the Catholic Church.

  Please answer me this:

  How do you know that Revelations and letter to the Hebrews belongs to the bible given that many early Christian churches did not used it in their liturgy and opposed their incorporation? Or why the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Peter were not included?

  It was the Catholic Church that canonized the New Testament. Therefore if you trust the cannon of the New Testament you most put your trust in a cult that you so criticized.

  I could also reply to your comment about Catholic bibles adding more books that Protestants bibles by asking you why to protestant bibles have fewer books? Can you give me a valid historical reason?

  In brief we don’t worship Marry and we don’t believe in corporate salvation…I wonder what is you understanding about Catholic theology regarding indulgences. Catholic teachings are solidly scripturally based. I wonder if you have ever picked the Cathechism of the Catholic Church…it is available for free online.

  Moreover where in the bible it says that only what is written in the bible is authoritative? Bible alone is not scripturally based.

  @SonofThunder,

  I tried to engage you with honesty and charity but yet you refuse to debate the issue and instead you fallback on insults.

  Where is the evidence that the Catholic Church ruthlessly kill Christians for translating the bible?

  I showed you that the Catholic Church translated the Bible into English, Spanish, German, Italian and other Scandinavian languages before the protestant did their respective translations.

  You see the facts are stubborn. I will be the first to admit that the Catholic Church is a church of saints and sinners and that at time it fellow members have fell to live up their Christian values but it also a church of Saints…people like St. Ignatius of Antioch who live in the first century and knew John and Paul. He was martyred for being a Christian but left us a incredible eyewitness of how the early church looked in his 7 letter to different churches…those letters reveal a very Catholic early church both in terms of structure and teachings.

  Yes it is God that gave us divine revelation both in the traditions that have been pass on through the living teaching of the apostle and through written word:

  “Therefore, brothers, stand fast, and hold the traditions, which you have been taught, whether by word, or our letter”.

  2 Thessalonians 2:15

  However it was Christ who used his Church to safeguard divine revelation…that is the Catholic Church.

  By 1470 most if not all the bible was translated in Scandinavian languages.

  Not to mention all the beautiful stain glasses of the middle ages Cathedral that basically re-told visually the stories from the bible.

  If the Church as so tyrannical why so many translation through out the centuries are found in so many different vernacular languages?

  It is interesting that you accused the Catholic Church for “hiding the bible” yet it was the Catholic Church that gave us the bible.

  It is a myth that the Catholic Church prohibited people from reading the bible far from that; it was the Catholic Church that gave us the bible. How do you know that the books in the bible are inspired if it wasn’t for the Catholic Church that gave us the Cannon of Scriptures.

  If you believe in the bible then intrinsically you believe in the authority of the Catholic Church to bind and loose here on earth.

  I implore you to do an unbiased historical search about how we got the bible and how the Catholic Church for about 2,000 years has defended and promoted the love and study of the Holy Bible. As St. Jerome said: “To be ignorant of Scripture is to be ignorant of Christ”.

  In brief and not an exhaustive list:

  400AD Translation in Latin by St. Jerome. Latin was the vernacular language of the time.

  St. Bede started translating the Gospel of St. John into English around the 8 century.

  1280AD Translated into Spanish (Biblia Alfonsina)
  1430AD Translated into Spanish from Hebrew (Biblia del Duque the Alba).

  1492AD Translated into Italian by Nicholas de Nardo

  13 and 14 Century Translation into French…also the King John the Good Bible (although thought to be incomplete)…multiple different translations…

  1477AD translated into German…among other translation in Low German. However there are numerous partial vernacular versions that go back to the seventh and eighth centuries.

  1475AD translated into Dutch (at Delft).

  Continuation

  The Spanish Inquisition is an old canard use over and over against the Catholic Church that although regrettable it most be view on the prism of the culture of the time. In summary the Spanish Inquisition by the Catholic Church was the instrument that the Church used to ameliorate the Spanish government into giving a fair trial for accused conspirators. There are many recorded instances where people preferred to be judge by the Inquisitors than by the government. Moreover according to historians Henningsen-Contreras the number of cases during the Spanish Inquisition was about 44,674 and the total number of executed people were about 826. This is far below the millions that you are eluded in your statement.
