Rambi, I didn't miss your point at all. you were judging me! I'm amazed how so many people bring up the issue of "no judgement" yet all think it's right to judge a "supposed" judger. <<<Sadly for you, the Inquisition was carried out by representatives of the Church of Rome, a nominally Christian religion,>>> Sadly for me??? sure that's what you meant, I felt a bit of a sting... <<<How else are people to judge the love of God except by the actions of His representatives on earth?>>> I'm sorry but I can't leave this one alone. WHAT CREATURE IN ALL OF GOD'S CREATION HAS THE RIGHT TO JUDGE THE LOVE OF GOD? ARE YOU SO HIGH AND MIGHTY TO THINK THAT PEOPLE CHOOSE GOD RATHER THAN GOD CHOOSES PEOPLE? YOU COME ACROSS SAYING IF GOD ISN'T REPRESENTED THE WAY PEOPLE "DESIRE" HIM TO BE THEN THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO LOOK TO A MORE PLEASING AND AMIABLE ONE! Chris

I don't think Cotton Mather (nor his father Increase was C of E. They were Puritans. Cotton may have approved the hangings, but he was hardly the leader. He questioned the use of "spectral evidence" to condemn and was a very scientific man. I believe he was made a member of the Royal Society. He introduced innoculation for small pox into America. He was very kind to the boy Benjamin Franklin.

Rambi, That was said in a kindly fashion, and I think goes right to the core of the matter. ~H~

<<<You haven't bothered to respond to my question about what a witch IS, only that she'd better be put to death>>> Please show me the post where I said "she'd better be put to death." I am trying to show people that God does not tolerate witches and they will not be allowed entrance into heaven. Oh btw, Wiccan is just another word for witch. Don't look it up in the bible because that word is a new age concept. Kind of like the same thing but packeaged up differently so as to lose any old negative steryotypes. chris
