Help[Facts] Re: Jesus
in reply to a message by Silver
Sorry, haven't emailed back yet. You must realize you're getting into the most complicated and confusing topic in Christianity/Catholicism/Judaism. (Which are NOT the same, but stem from the same events.)
We all have different beliefs, and you must decide which to use. Even just the time of the Rapture is debated hotly among Christians.
According to MY personal beliefs, Lucifer(light-bearer) was the top angel, but wanted to be higher, to be God. He got one-third of the angels to fight God and the other angels, but of course, (well, duh!) God won, and kicked them all out of Heaven. They went and inhabited the earth, which was in the process of Creation. Lucifer was renamed Satan, also called 'the devil' which means adversary I believe. His angels became called demons.
Where in the world did you come up with this 'seven archangels' bit??? Email me.
Love, Yahalome :)

Catholocism is a branch of Christianity.

I suppose you could see it that way, but according to my beliefs, Catholics are idol-worshippers. (Not intended as an insult.) The thing is, I've encountered waaay too many ppl who think Catholism is the _same_ as Christianity.

And they probably think you're a heretic (not me, this is intended as the french 'on', something english sadly lacks, along with you sing.) but we've all got to rub along together, seeing as we're all stuck on the same planet.

Heretic, fundamentalist, bigot, Protestant Christian, Bible-quoting, etc...! LOL!! I enjoy finding the origins of such "insults".
Heretic: from heresy = anyone who holds beliefs other than official church doctrine. (Yeah.)
Fundamentalist = one who follows the foundation "truths" of his/her religion. (Well duh!)
Bigot: from Spanish _hombre de bigote_ = man with a moustache, therefore man of spirit. (Well, let's hope I've ot some spirit, though I'll pass the moustache!)
Protestant = one who protests. (Again, duh!)
Christian = one who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ. (Yeah, so?)
Bible-quoting: why not? I believe it!
And so on. I totally agree people should be tolerant of other religions. However, it's been taken to far both ways. People should be allowed to witness their religion in a pleasant, non-pushy manner, but not to call names, accuse, etc. If they see, i.e., homosexualism as wrong, they should be allowed to say so, but not in a derogatory or accusing manner. I could go on, but...Oh, well!
