Are you saying that Paul misunderstood the Jewish idiom? He did write in Greek, right? (I'm not a Calvinist, in the interests of full disclosure.)
Reporting for duty. :)
One can be culturally relevant to Muslims without Lady Fatima. An amazing missionary to the Afghans and Pakistanis visited my seminary. He quoted their own poetry to them, sang their songs, immersed himself in their culture. All for the sake of presenting Christ.
And lookin good soldier..*grin* hey 808......
When you're equally hated by the liberals, homosexual activists, abortionists, population controllers, the UN, feminists, agnostics, atheists, communists, etc, as well as the fundamentalists and bible only folks, you know ya' just gotta be doing something right.
Frankly the more they attack, the deeper my faith gets. I makes me realize more than ever we fight alongside Christ, and the forces of anti-Christ are arrayed against His body, the Church.
Wonder why they never stop to contemplate the company they keep in deriding Catholicism?
Surely, the Whore of Babylon would be in league with the liberals, homosexual activists, abortionists, population controllers, the UN, feminists, atheists, communists, etc.
But those folks hate us just as much as these anti-Catholic Jack Chick types here.
Don't they ever stop to look around them at the company they're keeping and question where exactly they stand??? Do they not realize they themselves stand within the Whore of Babylon, alongside all the other little anti-Christs arrayed against Christ?
Do they not realize that true believers are not deceived by their propaganda?
We have 2000 years of the teaching of Christ and proper interpretation of scripture under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and through the authority Christ granted His Church. We don't need their fallible personal interpretation of these various scriptural proof texts taken out of context. We know and understand their true context and their proper interpretation and we don't need the only-500-years-old-protestant-revolt-against-the-authority-Christ-gave-His-church-new-false-gospel-anti-Catholic-bigoted-interpretation.
My apologies for being uncharitable. I know in their own little minds they mean well, and think they are doing god's work. But so do the terrorists, to be blunt.
Time is too short to waste on these folks. The truth has been preached to them on this forum repeatedly. If they continue to refuse it, it is nigh about time to stop casting pearls, and shake the dust off our feet.
Yeah, Satan knows the right address.
And his minions do his bidding wittingly and unwittingly. May God have mercy on them.
That is the only completely true statement I expect to see from you on this forum, as well as the highest praise I could possibly hear from you. Please refer to #125.
He would say that the Muslims have strayed too far from the path he prescribed. And then, he'd call on God to launch an airstrike.
It is a shame. His show Life is Worth Living had a viewership of over 30 million and won an Emmy award in 1952.
Go to www.tfp.org then click on America Needs Fatima, It's a great site
Order the Book: "Our Lady of Fatima:Prophecies of Tragedy or Hope?" Antonio Borelli and John R. Spann Tradition, Family, Property & America Needs Fatima, CRUSADE magazine
It's all in the Book
Never said that. I said that Catholicism is attacked from all sides because Satan knows the right address.
Does that mean no other Christians, or even non Christians, were/are never persecuted? Certainly not.
Just that Catholicism is attacked uniformly from all corners, much more so than any other Christian denomination.
That is simply an observable fact. Draw your own conclusions, but don't deny facts.
I am serious, and quit calling me Shirley...see post # 137
I think they do good work. They have a wonderful presence at the March for Life in DC every year. (But individually some TFP's might tend towards schismatic traditionalist positions.)
