I can see how you would. IMO Mormonism is in a whole class of its own.

In theory, yes, but also in theory, no. :D
Methinks Audie will one day be Mormon.
She seems of have a soft spot for them.
Knowing that I will get you anyway, you now choose to live fast and dangerous?

Considering you're over the other side of the world (*not that the world has "sides" -- I don't want my stylistic use of words to be interpreted literally and then called unscientific), I'm not sure how "fast and dangerous" I'm really living.

You have yourself said you think Mormonism is the smarter religion or something the like.
How smart can they be? One wife is enough to handle in my opinion. Who wants to be wrong to many wives?
No, I can only handle being wrong to one. :lol:

Now look what you've done. Taken me entirely off-topic.
To make this relevant. No, Paul was an Apostle - he was accepted as such.
Even had a falling out with Peter. Paul won. So Paul should have been the first Pope.
So, how do you like them apples Byblos? *Silence* That's what I thought.

Well, it's no wonder the Catholic Church is otherwise known as the Church of Peter and Paul. I'm also pretty sure Peter wasn't saying anything ex cathedra at the time so it really doesn't count. :mrgreen:
Let us proclaim the mystery of our faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.

Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

I thought the Catholic Church was known as the Church of Peter, Paul, and Mary. y:-?

Or maybe I was thinking of an old folk group. :mrgreen:

But back on topic, only evolutionists, theistic or otherwise, who don't hold to a literal biblical interpretation, would believe Paul was a false apostle. :lol:

I splitted the topic: Was Paul a False Apostle? since you started speaking about Jesus.
But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.
-- 1 Thessalonians 5:21

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
-- Philippians 1:6

Hebrews 12:2-3 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,despising the shame,and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

2nd Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,lest the light of this glorious gospel of Christ,who is the image of God,should shine unto them.

If you lived in ancient Rome you could believe in any god except Jesus Christ who rose from the dead and yet people were believing in Jesus being saved by the preaching of the gospel and how Jesus rose from the dead only to be thrown into the coliseum to be mauled to death by wild beasts,ect yet despite everything the roman government threw at early Christians,Christianity grew and became the dominant religion of Rome.The more Christians that were killed the more others came to take their place to where Christianity could no longer be ignored or stamped out by the roman government. And yet to believe these people would die for a lie is crazy talk they knew Jesus rose from the dead like the apostles preached and taught about and we know it today despite all of the different denominations.This fact unites all Christians even if we differ on other things we agree on the most important thing that Jesus rose from the dead - Catholics,Babtists,Methodists,Pentecostal,etc are united about this although we have to be on the look out for false doctrines.
