Where to purchase first class relics of saints?

Relics of saints

The word "saint, or saints" is the word in the King James Bible used to describe believers.  The Catholic Church has set up a system of Sainthoods that does not appear in the Bible. --dc 

The basic idea of the Greek for this word is "holiness."  All Christians are saints in that they are positionally "set apart" to God and are experientially being made increasingly "holy" by the Holy Spirit. --(Ref: Zondervan NIV Study Bible).

With that in mind, finding first class relics of saints is no problem, --but why would you want to?  --dc

Was John Adams a Christian?

Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons?

This just caught my eye, as I was setting out to get to your "Mary touching Jesus" issue. (PS Shouldn't we be changing 'Topics'? --we are far from the Belly Button question, and it easy to get 'lost' when multiple issues are all over the place in the same thread.)

You quote John Adams: "The divinity of Jesus is made a convenient cover for absurdity. Nowhere in the Gospels do we find a precept for Creeds, Confessions, Oaths, Doctrines, and whole carloads of other foolish trumpery that we find in Christianity." John Adams was absolutely right here. I am a Christian, and I agree with his statement wholeheartedly! This just shows me that he really must have been a Christian. Notice, he said "Nowhere in the Gospels do we find..." He was defending true Christianity! Creeds, Confessions, Oaths, Doctrines, and whole carloads of other foolish trumpery is not found in Christ's church, started on Pentacost, 33 AD, in Jerusalem. The Catholic Church was started over 300 years later, patterned after the Roman Empire. Protestantism and denominationalism, the 'Apostles Creed' and the like are not scriptural, and are not the true church of Christ, which we find starting in the book of Acts. Yes! it seems, at least by what you show here, that John Adams was indeed a Christian, but he was offended by what was going on in the name of Christianity, not Christianity itself. --dc

Ok, Muhammad...

Thank you for leading us to the Muslim web site: http://www.whyislam.org/ .
There is a lot to ponder; but, so far I have yet to be enlightened. But, we will keep on studying, with an open mind, for I am a lover of truth.

I liked your smiling icon.

But; of course, I do not like what Muslims believe about Jesus (A liar and a deceiver?); but than again; one does not have to believe in the deity of Jesus Christ to be an American.

When talking about the Crusades; I wonder if it is not the Catholic Church that has a lot of responsibility to bear. (I am no expert; just a cartoonist.)
I believe that the Catholic Church was patterned after the Roman Empire, and was organized about 300 years after the early church was started in 30 AD on Pentecost; that is, the only church that is found in the Bible, New Testament, in the book of Acts. True Christians are those who follow Jesus Christ, heeding His commandments. There is no Pope, no Vatican, no Catholics, not even Protestants. There is no evidence that the apostle Peter ever assumed any such role as a Pope, or acted like one.

In future postings, I plan to continue pointing out difficult passages that I find in the Koran. Likewise, you might choose doing the same with the Bible.

Let peace, love, and truth prevail! Nothing else is working, or ever will. God bless.
