Probably a wise decision when not reading clearly the actual words of what is being posted for your consideration. God go with you.

God's hood? My apologies for not understanding cryptic writing. That's a new one. I didn't even think of that. I was thinking if not Fort Hood, the petition to David Hood. Totally off the mark in both cases. Thanks again.

Thank you. I agree. It isn't wise to use the same tactics in this case to oppose the invader. Unfortunately for England many of their native people have converted to Islam. Making it likely impossible to root out the evil that now nests there with the intention of making it their own. In 2008 the Archbishop of Canterbury said Sharia law in Great Britain was inevitable. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/archbishop-of-canterbury-warns-sharia-law-in-britain-is-inevitable-779798.html Too bad the government of GB didn't take that as a foretelling and crack down on Islamic immigration when there was still time. And for goodness sake, never have disarmed their people.

Praise the Lord.

Yes. Trump. One side respects he was elected by a free people in a free Democratic process. The other does not. One side that identifies as Christian and that did elect Mr.Trump in that free Democratic election process hold to the scriptures as they describe God's plan and will concerning leadership. And the obligation of sons and daughters of God to respect that. The other does not. One side recognizes no one is perfect. While recipes stirred to foster lies, slander, defamation of an elected American president, his family, and even his supporters on both sides of the aisle, deserve to be exposed by the truth so that those dark seeds have no further chance to germinate in free soil. The other does not. One side prays for the enemies of America. The other side seeks to call for the beheading, the assassination by proxy, commits to the actual physical assassination, of those who whisper those prayers. The other never would.

Amen! The problem multiplying itself in this country is the resistance. Who's anthem is so foul its following even resists the truth when it exonerates Trump from their fabrications. God be with our president, his family, our VP and his family, and all who serve in government. God continue also to be with and defend America. And his faithful in the body of his only begotten son. And protect us from the adversary and his army as they seek to grow stronger. Consuming righteousness if they are able, while slandering , fouling American community by laying seeds of division , and calling for the assassination of those lives lived in Christ. While arming themselves in order to take lives in the name of hatred, allegiance to Senator Bernie Sanders, and the death-left, dark-left, platform. AMEN!

Interestingly that observation describes all Never Trumpeters media displays.

Are you referring to Fort Hood?

Perhaps you should not presume I did not pay close attention to the conversation between Davida and you. I did so, as is evident. And when you bring forth the charge of trolling to Davida, ("Define worship or are you just interested in trolling and not discussing") the parameters of that label need be identified rightly. The trolling in this thread by the very definition of trolling is not evident in Davida's posts, nor in mine. They are however apparent in that effort put forth to defend Catholic doctrine, and avoid proofs posited from Roman Catholic sources, no matter who has done so, that demonstrate RCC doctrine is contrary to scripture and the essential Christ teaching of justification by faith. The individual is not a Christian because they are a member of the Roman Catholic church. They are a Christian because they are a member of the body of Christ. The Council of Trent and its decrees of certain of Christ's teachings as anathema preclude Roman Catholic church testimony from enjoying that privilege afforded by God's grace. The Council of Trent in as much sought to interject itself as authority over God's grace by shredding his only begotten son's identity, purpose, and passion. And as such the Council of Trent insured the RCC was idolatrous and made forfeit in its claim to represent the will of the very God who's son the council eviscerated with their decrees. If there is trolling in this world, it is that which is exampled by the RCC and its missionaries across the world. And for the sake of souls every Catholic need be evangelized while there is still time to bring them to Christ and save their souls from their death in their sins that the RCC perpetuates to its own material advantage.

I was speaking to Davida as we both realized this was a 15 year old thread. I was speaking to her after I asked you first why you sought out and revived a 15 year old zombie thread. Now, you are taking it upon yourself to use that 15 year old dead thread as a vehicle by which to challenge my faith. Shame on you.

Do you believe you are entitled to challenge anyone's relationship with God and his truth?

That is God's word. Not a 15 year old thread far deposited in the back pages of this forum and for 1 1/2 decades. Why would you seek it out so as to revive a question that asks is God racist? Were you known here as traveller in 2002? Is that how you knew to seek this discussion out after all these years?

1 Corinthians 4:6 Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us you may learn not to exceed what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in behalf of one against the other. The RCC teachings concerning Mary exceed what is written as God's inspired word.

I think any Christian knows what worship is defined as. Avoiding the discussion itself in order to lob challenges for individuals committed to Christ to define basic terms associated with the Christian faith, in order to avoid addressing the factors, such as Mary idolized as the co-redemtrix with Jesus, brought forth and demonstrating with RCC proofs themselves, and links, and that show the RCC does not comport with the essential doctrine that defines the teachings of Jesus, and the faith in Christ, constitutes trolling.

Christian Post Jun 16, 2017 Is it wrong at this juncture to think this will turn out badly?

My apologies, I do not understand your comment.

I do not see them as that. I see them as sinners dead in their sin as we all were before by the grace of God we were reborn and renewed by the blood and sacrifice of his only son. Yes, absolutely, every homosexual can be saved. God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten son so that that would be made possible for all sinners. Homosexuals and trans-diagnosed persons are no exception under the love of God and his divine and blessed assured grace.

I would also like to add that a pastor stepping away due to ill health or mental, physical, emotional incapacity to serve is understandable. And a far different matter than the earlier opinion I shared. I should have clarified that in my first post.

Truly. Where is he now? Do you know?

I know what you mean. I have to make myself look to the date before I post. The only reason I asked that question is because I saw the topic title first and came in to read and maybe add something. Then I followed my own rule and looked to the date first. It's easy to get caught up on a subject title because after all, do we expect to see a zombie thread revived after more than a decade and a half?

What inspired you to seek out a 15 year old thread?

Not the Roman Catholic church. http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/para/966.htm Catechism 966 "Finally the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all stain of original sin, when the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things, so that she might be the more fully conformed to her Son, the Lord of lords and conqueror of sin and death." The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin is a singular participation in her Son's Resurrection and an anticipation of the resurrection of other Christians: In giving birth you kept your virginity; in your Dormition you did not leave the world, O Mother of God, but were joined to the source of Life. You conceived the living God and, by your prayers, will deliver our souls from death. Pope Leo XIII Encyclical says,

Happy to oblige. Thank you for asking. Link As a point of reference and to support context concerning the act of the Council of Trent: God knows the heart and does know who are truly his sons and daughters. However, the earthly decree of the Council of Trent under its authority vacated the teachings of Christ so as to uphold the doctrine Jesus set forth pertaining to those that would follow in his steps while on earth representing his good news.

Well said. Nor are we to have graven images. Further, Mary's false professed capacity to save souls aside, any denomination that denies the essential doctrine of Christianity insures its followers are not qualified to be in Christ. Or called, Christian. The Council of Trent did this very thing.

Actually, what fails to differentiate in these type threads is falsity purveyors accepting facts when linked and presented.
