...particularly that salvation comes only through faith in Jesus Christ.

I guess he will simply have to find out that he was wrong while in Hell...

[jwh_Denver]

The truth that no one gets to heaven except by Jesus Christ is a real stumbling block for a whole lotta people. They don't believe in Jesus Christ. When I run into people like this I tell them that God Almighty and Jesus Christ respect their right to believe what they want to. I also will say that I am but a messenger and for them to take their argrument to God. I will peacefully debate with people on the Scriptures but I will not argue with them.

It has been fashionable until recently for the liberals to give Jews a "pass." The real animosity on the part of the most outspoken liberals has been against Christians.

Ah, but the anti-Christian spirit is also anti-American--since this nation was actually founded by Christians. (Fifty-one of the fifty-five Framers of the Constitution were professing Christians. Many of them had seminary training.)

Where do the Jews fit into the current picture? Well, now that the Muslims have attacked our nation and Israel, the depraved liberals have sided with the Muslims against America and Israel in a funny way.

So, I think the lightning rod for the liberals' anger is still "Christian America." The Jews are just experiencing the "splash" effects of that liberal hatred against Christianity.

First, somebody actually watched the P.D. show??? Sacasm off.

Second, still praying for him anyway.

"I liked Studs Terkel's suggestion that Donahue could raise his ratings by dying on the air."

Actually, Phil did die on the air, he's just beginning to stink real bad.

1)Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing?
2)The Kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his Anointed, saying,
3)Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4)He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision." Psalm 2:1-4 KJV

Attila the Hun would have to ride DONAHUE for 3 days to his right, to approach my T.V.

[Corin Stormhands]

This is nothing new for Donohue.

Years ago I saw him interviewing Dean Jones, Loretta Lynn and another entertainer who was a Christian (who it was escapes me). Donohue asked Loretta Lynn to sing the first line of Amazing Grace.

Loretta sang: Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me

Donohue screamed back at her "Wretch?!? I'm no wretch!"

Yes you are Phil. Yes, you are.

Thanks for the ping; wow, what scorn and anger he has. I am currently reading C.S. Lewis' book, Mere Christianity. I highly recommend it to any who are seeking to understand God, in general, and Christian beliefs, in particular, whether the reader is a Christian, or is "un-churched." It's truly a well written book (as are of his books) which puts forth no particular denomination. It explains the Moral Law, making sense out of creation/creative evolution, a personal vs. impersonal God. That's in the first Book (Chapters 1 - 5). I just started Book II (Chapters 1 - 5) (page 35). It's not a terribly long book (total of 227 pages).

The text originates from his radio messages during England's war with Germany; he added some material for the publication. Prior to its publication, he sent it to individuals from the Anglican, Methodist, Presbyterian, and Roman Catholic churches, to ensure that there was no particular "dogma" within its contents, he being a layman of the Church of England. And he listed the above denominations in alphabetical order so as not to make it appear he favored any denomination.

I am quite enjoying the read, and I have been a Christian for about 30 years.

Mr Donahue, a pathetic 1950's grad of Notre Dame, will do anything to promote himself.

His most recent effort was a whopping failure as he tried to go head to head against O'Reilly on Fox News.....and went down the old crapper.

[aardvark1]

Someone should remind this rabbi that although Jews have suffered persecution over the centuries, right now in the world it is Christians who are suffereing and dying for their faith more than any other religion.

"...I am convinced God will judge with perfect justice..."

Oh dear, I hope not! I'm depending on grace. Were I to be delt with "justly" I'd have no hope at all!

[xzins]

he's also a retch.....

[Mark17]

Believe me, you will not need to take any "company" with you: there will be plenty down there waiting on you when you get there.....

That is correct, but more than likely, they will be so caught up in their own misery and agony, that they will not care that they have a lot company.

[ppaul]

For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel--not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written:

"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."

-- St. Paul, First letter to the Corinthians, 1:17-19.

[RnMomof7]

Thanks PPaul..you have said it all

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written:
"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."

[Marysecretary]

I'm afraid unless Phil repents, the Lord will say to him and others like him, "Depart from me, you evildoer. I never knew you." Too bad. He's getting his chance and is too blind to see it.

[Marysecretary]

Sounds good to me! Add Saddam while you're at it.

[Marysecretary]

count me in, ohioWfan.

[Campion]

I think that the problem has alot to do with the lack of exposure to the Bible among Catholics.

Blaming Catholicism for Phil Donahue is like blaming Protestantism for Bill Clinton.
