Yep, or the difference between the many pre-catholic, Gnostic texts and books that were thrown out, and even destroyed so that the roman catholic church could maintain control over the masses? The big difference is that Christianity went through this already, centuries ago, when the rules were different and civilization hadn't come as far as it has, well western civilization at least. -----Original Message----- From: Larry Lyons [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2008 8:55 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Lost for centuries, a cache of photos spurs research on Islam's holy text. What about the disputes over the translation of the bible from latin to English and other languages. I was thinking for instance of the classic saying of Hugh Latimer to his friend Nicholas Ridley, as they were both about to be burned as heretics. -- Play the man, Master Ridley; we shall this day light such a candle, by God's grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out. -- The issues of translation of the bible to English or other languages is/was very similar to the attitudes many conservative Islamics have towards the Koran. In other words a prelude to the reformation. I just hope that if its the case with Islam its a lot more peaceful than the christian reformation. >It's been a LOOOONG time since my last church history class....but I thought >the Reformation and resulting schism that gave rise to the Protestant line >of Christianity, was more in response to disputes over the papacy and the >granting of indulgences, among other things.....? > >If there was scholarly dispute over the divinity of anything, it was the >pope...i don't recall any similar dispute over sacred text???? > >On Jan 15, 2008 1:03 PM, Larry Lyons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:251011 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
