So a Pope said it's true, then it's true? Sounds like circular reasoning to me.trishtrish10 said:John paul 11, every pope has been accounted for since peter annnd lay beneath his tomb
Maize............ History teaches that this is true. Outside sources, and there are several, can prove the unbroken line from Peter to JP II.Maize said:So a Pope said it's true, then it's true? Sounds like circular reasoning to me.

The Adam and Eve story could be true or it may not.
Nope......... God (The Holy Spirit) guides the Cardinals:linwood said:So in fact the current pope and all that came before him other than Peter himself are not "chosen by god" but by a group of Cardinals.
How do they know they are being guided and not just responding to the unconscious emotional influences of their brains? Does god talk to them?Nope......... God (The Holy Spirit) guides the Cardinals:
I envy the fact that you have no position to defend....... it must be so easy not to have to repeat yourself OVER AND OVER AGAIN.......How do they know they are being guided and not just responding to the unconscious emotional influences of their brains? Does god talk to them?
You can't be directing this question at me.........???????Mr Sprinkles said:How logical is it to ignore eyewitness accounts and the hundreds of written teachings about Muhammad? What about Achilles? Hmm....
Hmm...... theoretically speaking, what would happen if the pope said that he was applesauce?standing_on_one_foot said:Hmm...theoretically speaking, what would happen if the pope said he was fallible?
Good point...... the problem is deciding how credible those early Christians were..... you know, the ones that gave up their life for faith in Christ (by the sword, crucifiction etc.).... I guess they did that because they knew it was a lie........It is, however, perfectly within the bounds of logic to look at a source and decide if it's credible or not. Several eyewitness accounts does not a case make if they're not too credible.
Lol, it gets boring from time to time actually. I'd love it for someone to turn the tables on me.I envy the fact that you have no position to defend
What Mr. Spinkles meant on this one, was not that you ignore Muhammed or Achilles, but that you do not consider them as part of the 'truth'. Jesus supposedly had eyewitnesses, yes, but so did Muhammed and Achilles (The Illiad, anyone?).how logical is it to ignore eyewitness accounts and hundreds of written teachings about the Risen Christ?
