Interesting Sister that you singled out the Roman Catholic SVC here. I had to google it to remind myself what resulted from that council over 50 years ago (1962-65)

O'Malley says a theme of the documents was reconciliation. In keeping, they allowed for Catholics to pray with other Christian denominations, encouraged friendship with other non-Christian faiths, and opened the door for languages besides Latin to be used during Mass. Other new positions concerned education, the media and divine revelation.

and what is your opinion about SVC?

Well, based on the synopsis I posted, that didn’t look to bad. 

Being able to pray with other denominations was a big move for them seeing that they didn’t respect Protestant denominations much. 

Encouraging friendship with other religions is okay as long as you don’t compromise your beliefs. After all, we should be trying to be the SALT AND LIGHT of the world, right?  Now where I think the RCC does compromise is when they say in their catechism that devout Muslims can pass the test of life too. No way, no how........Only through Jesus can one be saved. No way a Muslim who doesn’t accept the blood atonement of Christ and doesn’t believe he is the Son of God can get to Heaven through His good works (being devout).  So, I think the RCC was at that time beginning its move to accept all religions perhaps to ultimately set up that one religion rule that many think will come to play.  I’m not sure about this though. I know many anticipate this happening with the Pope being the False Prophet. He certainly appears to be a good candidate for that role. 

Having the mass in English instead of Latin certainly helped the participants understand what was going on, so I suppose that is a good thing. 

Your turn.....Any thoughts?  I’d like to know. 

PS May I ask....are you from India? I am surrounded by so many Indians where I live here in Georgia. Any thoughts on how I could best communicate Christ to them? Are many devout Hindus or just marginal? I know that is a too general of a question. However you think you could help me here, I’m all ears.

I was born into the Catholic religion, but I left because I could not agree with much of their teaching. 

Honestly, I wouldn’t listen to anything that comes out of that religion because you just don’t know if you could trust that it is coming from a good place. There is too much false teaching so why bother to sort it all out?  I hope you know the SVC came out of the Catholic Church’s meeting. 

As for the SVC, I would not put one minute of thought into it. It happened 50 years ago and really didn’t do much to strengthen ones  life in Christ.

I am chinese and very interested in india

Allthrough all be called religion

The Hinduism is totally the different world,campare with the Christianity,

I do not know how to explain

The relationship between Buddhism and Hinduism ,is very similar with the The relationship between Christianity and Judaism

The Buddhism is the main religion in china,i have lots of experience to argue with Buddhist

They accept Jehovah GOD is the the Creator of the world ,and they think Jehovah GOD is the same Creator god named brahma in Buddhism,and ofcourse the Creator god in Hinduism

 

I watched lots of indian films and TV shows,i feel the Hindus,have the same viewpoint

 

The film<The Matrix>

Is based on theory of Hinduism,mixed with Christianity and Buddhism

So y can not persuade them

Bcs they think their religion can contains the Christianity

Who do the Buddhists believe Jesus is? 

When you tell a Buddhist that he is the Son of God who came to earth to be like us, a human, and that his death on the cross was necessary so that he could take our punishment .....so we don’t have to take.....and by believing this to be so, we can have eternal life ......what do they say about that? 

I know Buddhists don’t believe the soul is permanent, so what do they believe happens to that person once they die?

What means Multiculturalism?

I am the Multiculturalism

My native Culture is a mixed Culture: Marxism+ Confucianism+ Buddhism(this is the Current situation in china)

And Spiritually i am a Protestant

Worldly i am the big fans of india

 

But Multiculturalism does not means Multi-ethic-ism

The only ethic i accept is Protestant Ethics

 

So i can not understand the left wing,stand with the strict monogamym,but do not blame a man has 4 wives?and y call it is the Multiculturalism, i can not understand!

 

The Culture and the ethic are totally different issue,i can mixed Various types of Culture on my own,but how can i mixed Various types of ethic in my one little head?

Seems this subject has been brought up I have a ominous feeling. People are no longer fearing God thus people are not impressed or drawn to Christ.  In Thessalonians Paul says there will be a great falling away before the man of sin is revealed. Wickedness and shame has become accepted lifestyles. Ambitions and lust for wealth is  blinding. There is no more draw or respect for those of the church. Its more the time we are living in than blame of the church. Those who uphold righteousness will be despised. 

Its not about trust  but love for evil

2 Timothy 3    

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
