In Christ Alone lyrics

Songwriters: Getty, Julian Keith; Townend, Stuart Richard;

In Christ alone my hope is found He is my light, my strength, my song This Cornerstone, this solid ground Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace When fears are stilled, when strivings cease My Comforter, my All in All Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh Fullness of God in helpless Babe This gift of love and righteousness Scorned by the ones He came to save

?Til on that cross as Jesus died The wrath of God was satisfied For every sin on Him was laid Here in the death of Christ I live, I live

There in the ground His body lay Light of the world by darkness slain Then bursting forth in glorious Day Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory Sin?s curse has lost its grip on me For I am His and He is mine Bought with the precious blood of Christ

We Catholics are notorious for our graciousness.

Notorious, yes.

Gracious, not so much....

Let me see if I understand this right.

If Catholics have charismatic services, it’s not *mob emotion* (post 6,459).

But if Protestants have charismatic services, it is (post 6,455).

So, it all depends on who’s holding the services whether the charismatic service is *mob emotion* or not.

Right?


You got that ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, CORRECT.

Applicable Stations of the STATIONS OF THE WHITE HANKY:

1. Icon to bearing false witness

2. Black/white icon of duplicity, double standard dance

8. Icon of the rubber daffynitionary
9. Icon of the rubber logic text
10. Icon of hubris to the supreme degree

11. Groping for any explanation but the truth
12. Icon to the holy flip-flops in word meanings and arguments

14. Icon to the fantasized divine right, to be correct, pristinely sanctified & perfectly flawless in all respects in all cases all the time, regardless of the REAL TRUTH.
15. Icon to chronic & obsessive inconsistency.

Yes, I am still learning. We don't do a lot of hand-waving in our church.

I guess eventually, at your continued urging, I might be able to learn to view THIS as dangerous - but I will need time, much more time.

Perhaps all I *really* was hoping to discover was more clarification of terminology in this thread - broad brush descriptions are so hard for me to follow, usually...but perhaps I will try to embrace them more in the future.

lol, it’s a new year and all but I still intend to shun people who called me scatological names last year and they know who they are.

That’s the number of RCC Charismatics?

Praise God!

there is probably even more now, old Rome is dying on the vine, so many scandals, so many perversions, even the prophecy of Malachi says only one Pope left.

Agreed.

Certainly more than plausible.

Can’t have any of that emotion stuff there, now can we.

What next? Someone might actually feel joy in their relationship with Christ?

They might be happy and *gasp* smile?

They might love God?

Funny, isn’t it, how people are so criticized for raising their hands in worship and showing some emotion when you look at any popular sporting event, like football or hockey.

Good grief, talk about mob emotion.... Shouting, cheering, waving, holding signs, beign excited.......

But can’t have any of that enthusiam stuff in church now, can we?

I wonder if Catholics sit on their hands during the Superbowl as well?

Well... maybe not funny “funny,” but funny “sad.” Very sad for you and those who fail to see the truth in the Word of God instead of believing the traditions of your church.

Very, very sad.

INDEED!

Naw. They probably don't sit on their hands. They just wrap them in white hankys and take them out only to genuflect very emotionally or habitually or ritually or perfunctually or some such.

Actually, I suspect quite a number of RC's worship at the altar of exaggerated sports enthusiasm.

There are probably even some sports figures who are close to bumping Mary off the supremely most worshipped figure category in many RC lives.

It happened with such as Mussolini and Hitler and Lenin who were trying to get people to give them power. It happened with such as Jim Jones and Joseph Smith and Rex Humbard who were after people's souls - and money.

Hi. I'm back after a delightful vacation and happened to noticed this. I'm sorry but there have been a number of posts that have gone by and I have not read all of them. However, this did catch my attention.

Surely you are not saying that the Catholic Church has never been about people's souls and money? It should be noted how the Vatican was virtually penniless after the "Holy Wars" and the cash needed to build the Vatican. It was all that "jiggling" of cash that was the driver of the Reformation.

When will the Vatican open up the Vatican vaults so that we can see what's in it?

INDEED.

BTW, as far as I know,

Rex Humbard did a pretty good job.

I don’t know about all his relatives involved.

Here’s a decent Wiki article on Humbard:

UNMITIGATED BALDERDASH! THE RCC IS RIFE TO THE GILLS, TO THE BRIM SATURATED AND SPEWING FAR AND WIDE WITH GROUP-THINK MASS MANIPULATIONS!

Good evening, Quix. I see that the new year has not mellowed you any. :)

LOL.

Were you exercising your RCC fantasies skills and habits early in such a direction?

May God lead you ever closer to Himself in the New Year.

STATIONS OF THE WHITE HANKY

The only white hanky that I'm aware of is this Protestant one:

On the contrary, what is described in the article is in essence no different than what goes on in Protestant charismatic services. You contention is that they are somehow inherently different. And you know this how?

In essence? Come, come. Don't mince words. It is a matter of degree, as the interpretation of Scripture is a matter of degree. We worship God, we don't sway back and forth like kelp in the current.

What kind of powers if discernment and mind reading do you have to allow you to evaluate them so?

No mind reading. Only discernment of video images.

On what criteria do make this determination of the differences between them and what personal qualifications do you possess that enables you to speak authoritatively about it?

A triple digit IQ, and a body temperature above the ambient. In my prodigal days, I did some wandering and was exposed to various groups who claimed to be Christian. I am grateful to all of them - they were all variously instrumental to me returning to the Faith. I recognize many of their practices from my exposure to them and I am further grateful for those on FR who remind me of those experiences and help keep me from straying in the future...
