The history of your bloody religion chills me to bone and all I can see are the broken bodies of those killed by bishops and cardinals for not agreeing with catholic orthodoxy. Your religion is an enormous error and the fact that your predecessors had to kill those who didn't agree, confirms this error.

If you are here to present the argument, then I am here to reject it and despise it.

Regarding 1 Corinthians 7:14 -

There is a potential problem for using this passage for assurance that the unbelieving spouse may be saved.

For in 7:12 it is written "But to the rest, I [Paul], not the Lord, say:..." Then he goes on about divorce in the rest of 7:12, then about unbelieving spouses in 7:13 and onward. The problem is that the use of the conjunction "and" to start these passages suggest that is in continuation Paul, not the lord, who assures these things.

But, is this really a problem? After all the Bible is supposed to be divinely inspired right? Surely God agrees with Paul on this issue?

Thoughts?
