Why don’t you guys start your own self-congratulatory thread instead of hijacking this one off-topic?

The Church was founded by Jesus Christ, not someone else.

October 31? Reformation Day and All Soul's Day wrapped into one -- It should be renamed: The Day of the Dearly Departed.

Your tag is a hoot. I should have watched that show. It had such a faithful audience.

I showed parts of it to my students in history class. It was great.

Professor rwfromkansas!

Sounds lovely. 8~)

I'm gratified to know someone like you is teaching. Your students are most fortunate.

Isn't that a great verse? It would make a splendid tag. 8~)

LOLOL!

"My son went off to college and became one of those blasted Calvinists!" shouted an angry Mark Tenderfoot, from Memphis, Tennessee. "I thought I had raised him right. We sent him off to school and a year later he comes to us and says 'Mom and dad, I'm a Calvinist.' It just broke our hearts. We still love him, but he's just not the same to us. Every time we see him we just can't get past it."

lol. God willing. 8~)

And "Luther" was a great and compelling movie.

Only got two problems with it, myself. 1)They didn't make any effort to show the passage of time, so for all the audience could tell, everything took place in a year to two. 2)No mention, that I can recall, of justification.

Well, it was high school, so not quite professor. Maybe someday though. :)

Yes, it was thin on that count.

What I liked was the movie's illustration of Luther's torment as he tried in vian to reconcile the word of God to his church's false teachings -- it nearly drove him mad because it was impossible.

"And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts...

I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts...

The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart...

Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts...

They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts...

I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me...

Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way." -- Psalm 119:45,63,69,78,87,93,104

I dont get this part:

“Danny Douglas, pastor of Longview Baptist Church in Onida, Arkansas. “It’s one thing to say you welcome a Calvinist into your church. Of course we’d welcome one if he came, but we are going to be honest with him about his sin. For him to call himself a Christian and yet remain a Calvinist is just wrong. “

Why in the world would a Baptist not be able to confront a calvinist about their sin? Maybe I have not been long enough in the theological trenches but come on?

I know that there are some serious difference between a Calvinist and an Armenian do any of the rise to the level of heresy? I enjoy a good debate about the elect as much as the next guy but I seriously doubt if I met a person who displayed the fruits of the spirit, professed the faith, and was God centered in their life I would think they’re unsaved! even though they are wrong on election ;)

I think the site and article are satire. The author is satirizing the way people view the "dreaded" Calvinism the same way we preach against homosexuality.

I was hauled into arguing against these jokes a lot before I finally caught on. 8~)

All Souls Day as well as All Saints Day are rooted in Christian belief and arose in this life of the Church through a healthy spirituality, despite some pagan trappings that may have survived and have remained attached to their celebration.

Just more Paganism !

Paganism first codified by the first Pontiff Emperor Constantine.

Not unlike Easter and Christmas

Who?

You mean, Constantine the Great, who had been dead and buried for 500 years when All Saints' Day was moved to November 1?

Aw, let ‘em have their fun.

It is kinda like with homosexuals, it isn’t any fun if they can’t flaunt it in someone’s face.

"El Dia de los Muertos" celebration was shown in Antonio Banderas' action film from a few years ago, Once Upon a Time in Mexico.

But wholly unlike all those Marcus Grodi "The Journey Home" threads that get posted here, eh? Ping us the next time you plan on comparing us to the kind of homosexuals that are given Holy Sacraments in Catholic churches, tiki.
