The barbarians are not “at the gate” they are inside and destroying from within.....wolves dressed in sheeps clothing in every pew...and their agenda to change the church from the centrality that is in Christ Jesus to something else moves at record pace.
The church better induldge in sound doctrine and preach it boldly in the face of this onslaught. If the church continues to fail to stand for truth, and allows this infiltration to continue, we will see more and more of the true blievers abandoning the church and it will indeed go underground.
Christians are called to directly oppose false doctrines by standing for what is truth when practices and beliefs are contrary to the revealed written word of God. The Apostles did so...the disciples did so, and Christ himself did so, and so are we to do so.
What a great read and great testimony.
There was no distinction in the Holy Spirit. He saw beauty of God with everyone. He saw some die as martyrs. He was one of the rare ones who got out. He wrote a book about it. Which gave him a little fame. He went all over the world with his witness. I believe this was in the 1970's. He died since.
I am afraid when we all wake up to what really matters we will be together looking out thru jail bars. What with all the anti-christian sentiment and law changes. May God help us all.
LOL, that's great.
Notice it's criticize the messenger, not the message?
The brother with no specialized training, degrees, titles, etc. opens a King James Bible at the kitchen table and despite all the conditioning she had previously been given she saw the TRUTH. Praise God! Thank You JESUS!
Your belief systems are very imperfect and berift of the oceans of sacramental graces Jesus left for us to assist our journey to Him. You have taken a minimalist route on your journey to reach the salvation offered by Jesus, like one who would fast at the banquet of the Lord.
I worked addictions for more than 20 years.. yea people get addicted to demerol and like heroin ( also a depressant) need it just to keep going ..but I would not want facts to get in the way of liar liar...LOL

BTW, why doesn’t she specify the name of her order? “Catholic Medical Missionary Order” is a description, not a name.
Oh I don't want to minimise the differences between the denominations. They are real enough. They are even significant. But they pale in comparison to the similarities.
Is ‘Ashtoreth’ the name of the female god, “the Queen of Heaven” that was worshipped by Nimrod and his wife Semiramis? Or is it yet another one?
I think when their are debates these prove very informative, and when actually in them ones is challenged as well. This is a good thing for all. O yes there is the squabbles and name calling etc....but one needs to let that roll of the back and stay the course of the debate, because in the world outside the Internet those debates get just as heated when truth meets with falsehood...and as the “great deception” begins we are all going to have to know how to stand against that tide...and doctrines will indeed be a part of that...until He takes us out. We see this already....and the battles will grow more fierce as more and more people resign themselves to the status quo.
The really neat thing is the threads offer us to retrace the steps of what's been said....if we've erred we see it, if we stand we see how we fared against false teachings. We “see” the arguments both for and against. I think we understand the state of affairs both within and without....how can the church stand if we are not free....and at the same time how will our nation fair if the church remains silent. The two stand together.
And in the age to come I think the Catholics are going to be better placed because of that.
But nobody is praying to that statue nor do they claim Billy to be anything other than the Preacher He was. And they do not elevate Him above Christ even remotely nor do they pray to him... Any more than they do of those statues to Presidents. But what the Catholic church does is very much different....parading statues around and throwing flowers toward them...kneeling before them and elevating them throughout their belief system
Around and around , here it goes where it stops nobody knows!
Place your bets! Place your bets!

TITUS 3:
"9But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless."
Typical. This former Catholic suddenly becomes as pompous as a former Mormon or former smoker. Pretty sickening if you ask me.
There are millions of happy and faithful (and yes, saved) Catholics. Ya wanna convert? Fine, but can ANYONE just convert and shut up? Or at least be less pompous about it? She was screwed up and got better. Fine. That doesn’t imply that everyone else needs to follow in her footsteps. Sorry, hon, everyone else wasn’t as screwed up as you were, and you’re probably still more screwed up than many you would presume to “save.”
Amen!
It does nothing for the Love of God and Praising him.
It just outs all the sin full human imperfections we all have.
By the way I heard a rumor that the color font-ed manics and the ping list of buddies are all converting to Catholicism and looking for Adult Catechism classes in their areas, someone should help them out and post the times and dates for them as Sept. is coming up.
They will be ready for Lenten season and Holy Confirmation in 2011. : )
Not everyone reacts to it as intended.
I won’t take pain meds unless just right after rip open gut surgery.
Pain killers are like speed and I go go and hurt the healing process.
I take Advil for really unbearable pain and that stuff works wonders on the pain but not on the brain. But that is just me.
Luke 12:51 Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division.
Christians rejoice when a person is Born Again. The only people who complain are RC's if the person came out of the RCC. The good news is you can join us in the light any time by believing The Gospel.
