  • Catholics are NOT christians, they love to claim that they are, however they do not follow the teaching of christ. The pope is their leader, not Jesus christ

  • @TheCDNkindaguy Spoken like a true Baptist--who think only they are "real" Christians. The Catholic Church was built upon the same administrative structure as the Roman Empire's for good reasons. First, it works for huge expanses. Next, pre-Lowe's, one recycled everything. Sites sacred to each culture in vast expanses let them be inclusive of more tribes. "Sure, Brigid is a huge spirit force!" Thus, "St. Brigid"--and thus, you got more numbers. Nothing the Baptist sects don't do now.

  • @Zootallors Oh, and CDN? Christians outside of Rome never consider the Pope to be their leader--never. (And especially American Catholics do not.) The Baptists have an antiquated view of the world that stopped at the time of Queen Elizabeth--the First. Study some history, and come up to speed over the last five centuries, eh? You'll do yourselves--and the world--an immense favor. And you'll love yourself for it. Moreso, you'll love more human beings for it. And that was Christ's main message.

  • @Zootallors Lol, maybe i am being ignorent, however, catholics have alway looked to the pope for their giudence, rather than christ. By the way i am not a baptist, love mankind, and do not deny the claims of peopels believe in jesus if they dont attend my church. Only god knows the heart of his sheep.

  • They killed christians than put paganism in the church. The christians refused to worship them, and their tyrant ways. I have no respect for them, and I'm glad the so called empire is gone. No matter who it is they killed they were cruel, awful, and nasty people. They thought they could conquer the world until others had eventually taken them over what foolish people. They were in high positions so their pride got a slap in the face.

  • @Retro80Lady30 :( yeah it's be best if those churches of the catholic church were gone you're right.

  • @Retro80Lady30 Study some Western Civ via real history classes--orjust read. The Catholic Church has always been "Christian," and was the original Christian church, along with the Orthodox church. Gradually, several popes ruled over the vast fallen Roman Empire; So no, the Catholic Church didn't kill Christians--you're mistaking it for the falling Rome. The Church rebuilt upon the Empire's ruins (no Lowe's yet!), on old sacred sites, incorporating each culture into the church--INclusively. READ!

  • Let`s not forget,in the Bible,David took on the giant Goliath and cut his head off with the Giants own Sword.I SERVE a BIG BIG GOD,FEAR OR FAITH MY FRIENDS.

  • @mkadams99

    there are bad people who are followers in every religion,

    how stupid can you be to denounce the entire religion because of those few people.

  • @taurus7745

    I agree. Often these wannabe "scholars" are more ignorant on topics they condemn others on. It's pathetic.

  • According to Christianity;

    Men fighting other Men = Bad

    Priests sodomizing young Boys = Good

  • @mkadams99= Woody Allen= Atheist, and, a pedophile.

  • @vigo894

    Woody Allen is a Jew.

  • OK... I misunderstood the narrator... he said that Christianity became "an official religion early in the fourth century ..." which is, in fact, an accurate statement.

  • The narrator says Christianity became the official religion during the early part of the fourth century. This is inaccurate. The Edict of Milan in 313 declared religious toleration ... it did not officialize Christianity. It was not until 381, during the reign of Theodosius I, that Christianity became the official religion of the empire.

  • gladiatorial games>reality tv

  • I visited the colluseum a few years back, it was smaller than I expected but I could imagine the fear of beeing other peoples entertainment of the day...

  • As if a 4th century Christian would be recognizable to a 21st century one anyway... they may as well be Martians.

  • Romans sat around like Gods & decided who lived or died.... Just like American idol and Surviver, the weekest link, ect, ect.

  • "Say (O Muhammad): O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), come to a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none but Allâh, and that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords besides Allâh. Then, if they turn away, say: Bear witness that we are Muslims. " [The Noble Qur'an 3:64]

    I sincerely invite all the sincere people to Islam in order to save themselves from the hellfire

  • mmm hellfire...nice 'n' toasty :)

  • @2009abuabdullah :) you realise that we, christians, think that muslims will end up burning in hell :p everyone thinks his religion is the true one, you can't change that

  • @2009abuabdullah LOL AHHAHAHA do you know that Allah is the Devil lol

    why would anyone go to him lol.... u muslims are all blind, and asleep in religion, something that God hates, the God of the bible

  • do you have any proof of what you're saying? The roman catholic chruch has a history of massacres.

  • you must be a bigot towards Catholics

    Why won't you give me proof that Christianity did not end the gladiatorial combats?

  • You are aware, of course that christianity and catholocism are 2 different things,,,right?

  • @carpnter2000

    huh...where did you get that conclusion?

  • I could site some engines but you are a big boy. they use different bibles,saints/none,etc,etc,etc­.

    You apparently feel you know about your god, bible etc...lets just start at the beginning..Who wrote the very first bible?,,Why? what instructed them to do it or what was their motivation?..I am just a simpleton,,please educate me

  • @carpnter2000

    you need to educate yourself mr. simpleton

    education is an ongoing thing

  • LOL I know the answers to the questions I asked you and the statements i said in the last post are also true...sorry that you cannot come up with the answers..I will leave u alone and not try to pick your brain any longer. lol I guess it was a lost cause from the start...peaceeeeeeee

  • @carpnter2000

    If you claimed to know the answers why pretend to be dumb and mute? You could have spilled everything right here on what you believed. People would appreciate your opinion. peaceeeeeeee

  • @carpnter2000 Not only did you totally mispell that (Catholicism) but your clueless.

    There is no Christian VS Catholic any more than there is Christian VS Baptist or Methodist or any other denomination.

  • Landon,

    Well I guess I am an idiot then. I wasnt aware that the catholic church was allowing its members to marry people of other denomination and still be part of the church,,This will be great news to many of them who had been excommunifuckingcated..(sorry,­I feel I might of miss spelled that ine as welll). I also wasnt aware that they were sharing the same bible and Isnt there a little group called IRA ?? Just checking because I really am clueless to world events.

  • uuumm... yes thay do share the same bible lol and the word christian is a broad turm thares crosastents and cathlics and roman cathlics and some other branches of christianity and thay all claim to be christians look it up on wikipidia or a book or whare ever you can get information from... and mabye thay didnt yousd to be able to marry idk but now a days im sure most cathlics and probastint can marry except mabye some really expremest groups!

  • Well then perhaps I am mistaken..Just seems to me that there are 7 extra books in the catholic bible say vs a baptist version...I certainly thought that roman catholics would be excommunicated if they tried to marry someone who wasnt catholic..Guess that just goes to show that there are new things to be learned everyday...Maybe you might want to look into that or if there is anyone who is catholic,,perhaps you can shed some light on this.......guess my sources are not reliable.

  • I thought it was something along the lines of 66/73,,,books

  • ok i will look into it more and you dont have to be sacastic! and ya... neither of my parents are religius but my moms family is prtestent and my dads family is cathalic so! see! but yes i will look into it i never heard of another bible for christians other thane that bible thing for mormans but most christians dont bieleve in that!

  • Sarcastic? No, you missunderstand. I was really trying to be as humble as I could be in light of the fact that I could be wrong. If I am wrong then I am wrong but if I am right and this bullshit was all a waste of time...I would imagine you will see how sarcastic I can be..

  • @carpnter2000 well uuum... catholocisim is a kind of christianity...

  • Yes it is..ummmm ever hear of the catholics being tolerant of any other denomination? protestants vs catholics ......If you are a catholic and wish to marry anyone that isnt, what happens?..They may be loosely based around the same thing but when is the last time you ever heard of Baptists praying to Saint Peter or referring to Mother Mary ? I guess they are the same as a rock is just like a stone but different...?

  • Tertullian (prolific Christian author 160-220AD) acknowledged the power of gladiatorial fights even over some Christians, and was compelled to be blunt: the combats were murder, their witnessing spiritually and morally harmful and the gladiator an instrument of pagan human sacrifice.

  • In 393 CE Theodosius adopted Christianity as the Roman state religion and banned pagan festivals. The ludi (Roman festival) however continued, nevertheless, very gradually shorn of their stubbornly pagan munera (gladiatorial combats).

  • the crusades...

  • @expatdk the Roman catholic church is just that, the universal church of rome, it has nothing to do with jesus, but everything to do with paganism and killing christians and persecuting people for gain

  • If my arm gets choped off. Please kill me. Better to die quicker.

  • I thought the colosseum was closed because the lions kept eating all the prophets.

  • i dont get that. lions are only in africa...

  • They brought the lions from Africa. The Greek and Roman empires expanded into Africa.

  • go Gladiators!
