I'm so glad you posted this. I was doing a search to determine if it had been left to me. Thanks.

[Timmy]

This is just such good news.!! I was really saddened at David's sudden death. However, knowing that he was a born again Christian is such good news. That makes him my brother!!

And the best part is it means he lives still!

Thanks for posting.

What's the difference? You can still be Catholic and be Christian.

[It's me]

Heck, I'm Roman Catholic and I think Jesus is my Saviour.

How come you think you have the corner on that market, so to speak?

:o)

[SMEDLEYBUTLER]

Those who assume they are saved prior to their particular judgment may be in for a very rude awakening. Better to remain steadfast and work out one's salvation through fear and trembling and persevere to the end as Scripture instructs.

[SMEDLEYBUTLER]

Yesterday Lane spoke at a memorial service at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York.

Closon also errs in failing to accurately note that it was a funeral Mass, not a memorial service.

[Jael]

1 John 5:13  These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.


1 John 5:20  And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Nothing presumptive about the assurance given in the Word of God.

Jesus Christ paid for my salvation, not any fleshly work I ever think I could do.

Work out is not working for.
Either Jesus paid for your salvation or you are not saved and eternally secure.

Beautiful story.

RIP, David.

Interesting but not surprising that CNN edited out the Jesus word.

I'm Methodist. But I could've become a Catholic when I saw Pope John Paul in Des Moines in the 1970's.

God rest his soul.

[Atticus]

I would have guessed from his name that he was Jewish and from his position that he was an liberal dem. I agree that it is very strange that the article did not mention that Bloom was a Roman Catholic. Of course there are many powerful conversion stories out there. Larry Kudlow instantly comes to mind.

[votelife]

what is the story of Larry Kudlow?

BTTT

[Atticus]

what is the story of Larry Kudlow?

Here's a nice piece about his recovery from addiction and his conversion to Catholicism: The Optimist Reigns Again (Larry Kudlow)
