Quote:I'm sorry that you were raised Catholic.
I can certainly understand why you disagree with their teachings; so do I. That's why I'm not Catholic and never will be.
Is it another "Catholic-only-accepted" book that calls King David a "pervert", as you put it? I've not seen that word used in the Bible before, especially not related to David. Yes, he sinned with Bathsheba, but I must have missed the "pervert" part.
Hate to knock you from your 'high chair' - I was not raised as Catholic. I am a born Muslim - But in most of Muslim state, there are tens of thousands of Muslim parents who allow their children to learn Christianity in Mission school. Can you find a single Christian parents who would allow, willingly, to let his son or daughter study in a Islamic school? That's call 'Islamic tolerance', dear.
Your 'particular Bible' may have 'omitted' this Verse - But that's no surprise. According to Dr. Robert Funk, DDD, and his twenty-three Christian theologians - after six-year of research publish their findings in 1996 - Which read like this: "80% of the statements made in the NT are NOT divine; these were written by people of different times to serve their particular needs - A part of the other 20%; PROBABLY be divine.
Now, you should know, that both of us cannot beat a Christian scholar with '3D'.
Au revoir - That means 'Good-Bye' in Hebrew!
