Hebrews is a 4 course meal that describes the sin of man, the giving of the law to raise consciousness of sin, the inadequacy of the law and of animal sacrifices to cleanse our sin, the description of the priestly order of Aaron and the Levites compared and contrasted with the priestly order of Melchezidek of which Christ belonged, the description of Christ being that perfect final sacrifice, the judgement of those outside of Christ as being judged by the law signified by Mount Sinai as opposed to those who are in Christ Jesus (who are saved from the restrictions and condenmnation of the Law) (whose “final rest” is at Mount Zion),and the importance of staying in Grace.
The whole book describes the spiritual origin of our faith and what we have been saved and released from.
“The wickedness is a symptom of an issue of eternal dimensions. I dont want a civic Christ to save public morals. I want an everything Christ to save souls to heaven, and if public morals improve as a result (and Id hope they would)... it will be a wonderful testimony to Gods grace.”
True...after all God raises up and puts down the nations. Psalms 2 describes the various rulers taking “council together “through-out history to conspire against God and His anointed...and don’t think they aren’t doing it in this day and age as well. The current rulers and the secret elites sneer at God and his children. Psalm 2 says God will dash them like a “potter’s vessel”. Yet we see the plea to the individual in Psalm 2...”Kiss the son, lest you be destroyed before he has gotten just a little angry!”
God is our first country; Christians can’t help our currently hapless nation until we fully remember and understand that!
What you say is true, but it will be a tempered rejoicing...for “God hates the death of the wicked!”
“Bull Cuomo” lays down the law.
Seriously, if conservatives and patriots could find the right protagonist sort of like our Martin Luther King type figure, this could make Cuomo look like Bull Connor back in Birmingham with the dogs and water cannon.
And these same people don’t want to lawfully execute murderers convicted by a jury of their peers, but they’ll murder babies all day long. Their fringe is laying the groundwork for murdering born babies, just like they’re laying the groundwork for “tolerance” of pedophiles.
Yes, Laodicea is here, now.
yes it’s tempered, but it is righteous rejoicing.
Leftism, by definition, is the bi-polar & radical opposite of the Constitution.
So from their perspective, anyone who embraces the Constitution is always on the “far right”.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
how did he get so extreme?
prayers for him and NY
This is beyond extreme.
As Davey Crockett said, “You may all go to hell, but I will go to Texas.” Proud to say I’m a New Yorker by birth, Texan by the grace of God.
Roman Catholics, Russian Orthodox, Mormons, and many others are Pro-Life? Do they belong in New York? This whole question reminds me of the debate in the 1850s and 60s over slavery. People got passionate about it. If you believed African-Americans were people you wanted freedom. If you thought they were childlike and couldn’t handle it—you were in favor of slavery and control. The issue here is when is a person a person? Is it at Conception as pro-Life people hold, at Birth as many believe or at age one as a few believe. If you think abortion is murder—how can you be anything but prolife? Is it right to kill one year olds? Or babies born alive in an Abortion mill? Its a hard question on many levels that brings out passion.
.....And no doubt that those who do put their faith in the King of Kings, Christ Jesus until he returns in full glory, will have to suffer for their faith in HIM.
He is a bigger A-Hole than his father Mario. Never thought it possible
Wish we had a “like” button around here sometimes, lol. I hate when Freepers attack their own, especially when it’s what the progressives want us to do. SMH.
Can we kick NY out of the USA?
Isn’t Cuomo the Homo a Catholic? If so, why haven’t measures been taken to excommunicate?
