Wasn't St. Peter a "community organizer?"
Didn't Jesus say he was "the Rock upon which I shall build my church?"

After Jesus' death, didn't many Apostles go on to form and organize Christian communities? Isn't that how Christianity spread?

Just sayin'.:)

1. Not To Mention . . .

. . . I was sort of thinking that Jesus did a little organizing in his community himself. But don't mind me - - clearly, this concept is to be demonized. :eyes: :eyes:

What a massive gaffe.

6.  I didn't want to mention that
Because they believe he is the Son of God . . . but of course you are right.

2. Yes, he was, and yes, so were all of the apostles.
The greatest community organizer of all was St. Paul. He traveled throughout the Roman world preaching to pagans. But, you know, Republicans can't be bothered with the facts. They get in the way of their ideology.:hi:

3. Yes, he was. But the thing with the Repukes is this:
The love the Old Testament. The ONLY part of the New Testament they like is Revelations.

They are so fucked in the head.

9. Jesus was, as well, wasn't he?
Fundies are a funny bunch. they love to use that Bible to deny things to others or to make people feel badly, but they seem to have missed a lot of it..
