Could someone cut and paste this, I don't know how and the printers out. Thanks.
Another thread with photos doing the rounds here right now.
No such thing. Either you worship God or you worship yourself, but you can't do both.
Re:3, agreed.
A sign Pope B16 is putting the hammer down?
Good to hear!
Great News!!!
Good news. No offense to any Methodists reading, but I just sent this to my Methodist fiancée along with a story recapping their church's decision to instate a lesbian pastor, with the subject line of "See the difference?"
:)

Yes, but her own ended up burning her at the stake when her usefulness was over.
This really isnt news, They were told if they wore their rainbow sashes they wouldnt be allowed to receive the Eucharist. They chose to admit before God and his followers that they belong to a sick sexual cult. The real deal would have been if they had taken names and excommunicated the whole bunch.
(No, seriously.... their butts are filthy.)

I'm pretty sure I remember in the new Pope's writings a discussion that there have always been gay Catholics then discussing the obligation he feels they have to not act on those desires.
In any case, all Christians are sinners..but we can still be Christians - the only requirements are to acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God and ask forgiveness in his name.
This is the fallacy with Vatican II. To be enclusive and accept Gays and their supporters, the church would be defying the Laws of God; Liviticus. This is the same quandry presented by the acceptance of abortion.
Vatican II and all of the deception it represents must be repealed. If any of the directives are contrary to the Laws of God, the Catholic Church CANNOT support it, actually no Christian Church or Congregation can support any directive be it Catholic or not that defies the Laws of God. If they did, They would not be Catholic or Christian!
It is simple and direct in it's meaning and therefore cannot be twisted to mean anything else than what it says!
The people who are breaking the Laws of the Lord must repent and change their ways - the Catholic Church WILL NOT and CAN NOT change.
Of course, to the degenerate swine who inhabit Liberal Land, any standards at all are a form of fascism.
Its a sacrament. Combining a political statement with the moment of grace that the sacramenet represents is just like wearing a sponsoring advertisement on a wedding dress.
Leviticus 18:22 is unmistakable in its meaning, intent, and pertinence to the modern world. One cannot outright reject it and still honestly call oneself a Catholic.
Everyone may be a sinner, but you can't sin shamelessly and deliberately, and vow to do so again, and claim to follow Christ. The two are mutually exclusive if words have any meaning.
There is a clear directive in the New Testament to put willful sinners out of the flock. These people are willfull and flouting it.
Yes, we are all sinners. In small ways, the vast majority of us may sin daily. When we enter God's house, we are reminded of our failings and ask Him to FORGIVE us for any evil we may have embraced or wrong we may have done. We don't enter God's house proudly proclaiming our sins and asking Him to accept them.
A contrite heart does not demand acceptance, it asks for forgiveness. I see no such asking in this public display.
So Minneapolis isn't good enough for these people?
Guess not.
The gay mommy sector practically took over my old Minneapolis neighborhood.
They must want to take over St. Paul now too.
Nice FR homepage, BTW. Good luck on getting out of the gulag. We're out in Carver County now and couldn't be happier.
I must say I miss the restaurants and art scene. It's not too far to visit though.
They deny their sin...and refuse to repent...
So why are they REALLY in church and demanding the sacrament?
They want the church to deny Christ and to acknowledge their sin as righteous
They want the Church to be a lie..and themselves to not have
to change.
They should start their own church and claim God had no problem with Sodom and Gomorrah...
Here's what it says in the Catechism
Chastity and homosexuality
2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,141 tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."142 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.
2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.
Back to Scripture school for you.
"If you love Me, keep My commandments." John 14:15
"If you keep My commandments, you shall abide in My love; as I also have kept My Father's commandments, and do abide in His love." John 15:10.
"But when the master of the house shall be gone in, and shall shut the door, you shall begin to stand without, and knock at the door, saying: Lord, open to us. And He answering, shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are." Luke 13:25
One must walk the walk, not simply talk the talk.
Now it's hummus, tofu and popcorn with "nutritional yeast".
I'm skipping the red county thing and I'm going to a red state. I'm heading off to Florida.
BTW, thanks on the profile compliment. You can pretty much tell I'm from Minneapolis after seeing that.
"In any case, all Christians are sinners..but we can still be Christians - the only requirements are to acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God and ask forgiveness in his name."
Don't forget that repentance is also required. We are not allowed to continue to live as the 'world' lives. We are saved from the wrath to come in order to be righteous here and now.
I bet I can pinpoint where you're at. Either Longfellow or Corcoran. I lived in both for twenty years combined. Lot's of good taquerias.
A gay liberal bought our Corcoran house. Hope he's happy with the illegals that crowd the apartments on the block.
Some "happy to pay more taxes" types bought our Longfellow house.
I wish I could skip the red county thing and move to a red state. My husband's job here precludes that option.
Best of luck to you in Florida. I'll be wishing I was there when next November rolls around. In fact, how cold this spring has been, I wish I was there now.
None of those neighborhoods. They've moved into Phillips, where I am.
Bwwwahahaha. LMAO...Thanks, I needed a good laugh...
Okay, I was wrong. Won't be the first time or the last time.
Had the South Minneapolis part right though. Wish you could have been my neighbor. All of South definately needs more FReepers. Sadly (or not), we're fleeing for more sane environs.
Now I'm craving Jasmine Deli and Big E's Soul Food.
Exactly.
Ping to self for later pingout.
No one who persists in abominable practices without contrition should be admitted to The Holy Communion. Even if they were admitted, it would only further their damnation.
Nobody would argue with you that Christians are sinners and nobody would contest the requirements either. The problem I have, looking at the picture posted earlier, is that these people have not put their faith first but their sexual perversion. In all my years of church going, I have never seen anyone wear a symbol of their sexual preference to church.
Just imagine that there were bondage clubs or men who prefer teenage girls club or swingers clubs. I'm sure all of those are somewhere in the church, but people don't wear banners or buttons to proclaim these perversions. And regardless of what the homosexuals try to portray, this is about sex. Heterosexuals have never taken so much liberty to advertise what they do in private as the homosexuals do with no shame at all.
