Floatingaxe, you are not worthy to even be in the same category as these beloved Saints. They were tortured, beheaded, crucified upside down (Saint Peter), crucified in the form of an x made of a cross, they followed God's commandments. They were Holy people...if you are talking about what St. Paul said, that we are all POTENTIAL Saints, not all Saints. Read the lives of the Saints if you want to learn anything. then come back and we'll talk. Peace.

Nonsense.

You say that Paul was a Saint. Well, Saint Paul addressed his letters to "the saints." He called all the believers saints!

Therefore, all believers in Christ are saints! There are no qualifications other than believing into the Lord Jesus. It is complete and utter nonsense - the heresy of man's religion - that there must be certain qualifications for any believer to be dubbed "Saint by any religious organization!

"Not worthy. . . ."

The first thing that passed through my mind was the scene in Monty Python and the Holy grail with the monks chanting while carrying these huge Bibles, and every so often would whack themselves over the head.

"Bless me, O Lord, for I am a human scumbag." *Whack!*

Seriously, Paul called the believers "saints." It's not some magnified title given to dead Christians we like to idolize.

First of all Ovedya, I have a right to be here just like anyone else. I am not trying to turn anything anywhere, but my history and theology of my Catholic faith should be known to others who want to know the truth, and the truth from someone who knows, not from some anti-Catholic sites, or fallen away Catholics because of their excuse about the priest scandal, which has nothing to do with the faith itself. It happens in every church, look at Ted Haggart, head of 30 million Evangelicals. It happens in Synagogues, yet only the Catholics are persecuted as Jesus said we would be. We are very powerful and people do not like that. Thank you Jesus for this gift.

Remember what John Henry Newman said before he converted to Catholicism "TO BE DEEP IN HISTORY, IS TO CEASE TO BE PROTESTANT". And he WAS a Protestant before becoming a Catholic. www.guydoud.com. Remember him? He was an Evangelical pastor for 17 years, converted to the Catholic faith last Easter. He was very well known. Being on the 700 club etc...read his testimony. What about Scott Hahn?? Die hard Protestant, turned Catholic...people are coming home to Rome.

It is ok to make fun of my Catholic faith. They made fun of Jesus also. This reminds me of that. I have christ in my heart, knowing I am following His way, the truth of the church he started. I have peace in my heart.

He started the Church (of Jesus Christ), not the Catholic church--that is total hype. I am glad that you have asked Jesus to live in your heart. No doubt He has done exactly as He promised--He has come to live His life through you. But you need to search the scriptures for yourself to determine whether or not the things you have been taught are just man-made doctrine or true doctrine coming from the Word of God.

You do want to be pure in your belief, do you not? Do you not want to be free of the burdens that the church tends to place on you? You surely do not want to be one day chastised for your blind following of doctrine, do you? What Jesus has said is reliable, and what Paul has written about and for the church is also. Read it. The Word will free us when we give ourselves over to the studying of it.

No, that is untrue. Please refrain from posting your hogwash here tomorrow.

    • 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.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • 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.
