Let us remember the Inquisition.
I have no such theory. They were not mild-mannered moderates. I have never said they were. They were, as I have said, more comfortable than we are with non-literal texts.
The Inquisition was begun in 12th century France. Nothing like it was known among Early Christians. So you're about 1000 years off here.

On the contrary. If you look back at today's posts, you'll see that I have responded to nearly every sentence you wrote.

Asserted without evidence.
Quote:Less and less people taking the Bible literally is apparently only news to you two. Or maybe it's the apologetics that are clouding your vision.
Or maybe it's the fact that I have pointed to facts, and you keep pointing to... nothing.
