forbes.com — Pope Benedict XVI has reasserted the universal primacy of the Roman Catholic Church, approving a document released Tuesday that says Orthodox churches were defective and that other Christian denominations were not true churches.

Jesus wasn't referenced by any historian in his life time period. Jesus was only referenced via his followers _after_ Jesus would have been dead. And even the earliest known Gospels date well after Jesus and probably any of his disciples would have been alive.I'm not going to assert that Jesus did not exist, but there is no clear evidence that there was a historical Jesus.

No, Peter didn't declare himself a saint. In fact, no saint ever declared themselves a saint. They're appointed after their deaths.

It's OK PG. Sometimes certain "discussions" just feel right on Digg so a person comments. They add to the discussion. There's nothing wrong with that.

@roscoe2041“If you or anyone else has any questions, feel free to ask me.”OK. Here’s something I’ve always been curious about.Why did the Catholic Church modify the 10 Commandments as they appear in the Bible? Why did they delete the real 2nd Commandment and split the 10th into two?Bible Ten Commandments1 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.2 Exodus 20:4-6 You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.3 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God In vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.4 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God: in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.5 Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.6 Thou shalt not kill.7 Thou shalt not commit adultery.8 Thou shalt not steal.9 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.10 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor’s. Catholic Ten Commandments1 I am the LORD thy God. Thou shalt have no strange gods before Me.2 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain.3 Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.4 Honor thy father and thy mother.5 Thou shalt not kill.6 Thou shalt not commit adultery.7 Thou shalt not steal.8 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.9 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife.(The Tenth Commandment is split into two to get back to Ten Commandments.)10 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods.

As a Jew:All christians are wrong. The only thing christians have to fight over is which faith is more wrong in God's eyes. WE are the chosen people of god! It says so in the Bible.Speaking as a Jew (the faith of Jesus) I can say that Southern Baptists are THE absolute worst at spiritual understanding. One of these bozos tried to translate Hebrew and butchered the sacred text to twist God's word to his benefit! There could be worse christian splinter groups out there, but I had the unfortunate experience of having a southern baptist as a roommate in college.

@ mmgreensmmI can reply directly.. Your and Idiot. The Romans killed Jesus because he believed in the Lord and not the Romans as a higher power. YOU REALLY NEED TO STOP GETTING YOUR INFORMATION BY WATCHING MEL GIBSON MOVIES.
