-Caveat Lector-
Sam, a few things wrong w/ what you wrote..I would not call Catholiscim
traditional Christianity
as it strayed far from the teachings of Christ (read Foxes Book of Marytrs)
Christ was born from
immaculate conception (not sex) and if you doubt God's views on homo. read about
Sodom and Gomorrah...Revelation is also spelled w/ out an s on the end..The
Bridegroom is talking about
Christ and the Bride is those people who worship him......As far as what you
wrote about King James.....prove it prove it, or shaddup, already...Barley
