There wasn't enough time for fable or myth to creep into His story.
Quote:Really? Then I suppose you really believe that George Washington cut down a cherry tree as a boy, and that he never told a lie, and that he threw a silver dollar across the Potomac. After all, these things were written by someone who lived at the same time George Washington did! There wasn't enough time for fable or myth to creep into these stories. Unless, of course, they were myths to begin with...
The stories you mention about George Washington are not absolute fact actually they were written to show the character of the man and this helps strenghten the fact he was a real person. Those are stories told to show Washingtons honesty,trustworthiness and strength of character. The stories in no way make him a fictional character.
Quote:Thor if you like we'll argue the salvation of that particular Pope but like I stated I do not know for a fact he was.
Quote:So you want to argue that the Pope may not have been a Christian? Unbelievable....
Thor read very carfully what I wrote I was asking if you wanted to argue the salvation of Urban II and unbelievable does not seem to be an answer so if you would please a simple yes or no.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
