[QUOTE="Melania Rose, post: 52440877, member: 246677"] The only experience I've had that I can remember.... a Jehovah's Witness that came to the door, and told me Constantine was the worst person who ever lived, and influenced the Church in a negative way, etc., etc. All I said was, "Is that what you believe?" and just shook my head. I shut the door in her face. :) But she came back, thinking I had been listening to her diatribe against Constantine. Then I said, "Look, you have only a fraction of the Bible, and this is all you believe. At least acknowledge that the ancient Church was the one that gave us the Bible in the first place, only there was a lot more scripture to it. "Oh," she says, "You mean the Apocrypha?" I said, not just that, there is more to the Bible than you think, and Luther trimmed it all out, and that's what you have to this day. Then I shut the door in her face again. I expect she will be back... boring me to death with her brain-washed belief in arianism. :( [/QUOTE]
