Just exactly what we need: one set of Christians attacking another set of Christians.

Your timing couldn’t be better - all Christians are under attack by the liberals, perverts, communists and of course the perennial Muslims - and we have guys like you picking interfaith fights.

Haven’t you anything better to do? Do you really think your views will change anyone else’s?

How is being a devisive zealot any better than being an atheist or a Muslim?

As long as the catholic church continues to espouse false teachings I will point these out. The Bible notes we are to examine all teachings and to measure to see if they are false. The catholic teachings on Mary are false as they cannot be suppoted by the Bible.

By what authority do you make such an absurd and inflammatory claim?

You didn't answer chainmail's question. Can you explain to Jesus why you choose to divide His flock instead of uniting His brothers and sisters in Christ?

I haven't chosen to divide anything. It has been the catholic church that has made that choice with their man-made teachings and incorrect application of Scipture.

Again, show me in the Word where Mary is entitled to ALL that the catholic church teaches regarding her. You can't as it's not in there.

I could cite other examples but we'll just stay on this one for now.

Yeah, Hill 55, about 6-7 clicks just SSW of Danang airbase.

We were about 8 clicks SSE just off the Redball, Hill 29, 1/1 Cav, Americal.

Daughter and I went back in 2000. Stayed at a swanky joint on the old China Beach. I used to tell the guys, “One of these days they’re gonna build a hotel out here.”

Visited many old haunts, and quite a few new ones. Swell place and swell people, who still love Americans south of the old DMZ. Up north in Hanoi they’re still reticent...unless they’re trying to sell you something. The city center is very beautiful though, still reflecting many of the French influences prior to Dien Bien Phu.

All the Best to You and Yours....

"By what authority do you make such an absurd and inflammatory claim? "

Just simple logic; if we have Christians attacking Christians, we do the work of the atheists and the Muslims. We have Christians of all kinds being murdered for their faith in Africa and the Middle East and Asia and we have atheists at work in our schools and on the pages of our media - aided and abetted by the gay mafia - and meanwhile we have argumenters going to work among us to divide and fray our bonds.

People who claim to be Christians yet attack other Christians are in a word doing the work of the devil, exactly what the anti-Christians would want us to do.

My wife and I traveled to Vietnam in 2000 too and I took her to Khe Sanh and the Rockpile and Quang Tri and Hue City and finished up in my old haunts around Hill 55. It was a very moving experience and like you said, we were welcomed very warmly by the Vietnamese.

I went to An Trach 4 village a little North of Hill 55 and the old Catholic church there has been restored. I met the priest there and he asked if I could buy them a tractor because their kids had to tend buffalo instead of going to school. When I got back, I organized a fund raiser with the Catholic and Protestant congregations at MCB Quantico and raised the funds in one weekend and we wired it to them.

I cherish the photo I have of "our" village with its new tractor.

We won, didn't we?

Having false doctrines is the devil’s work. Those who practice and encourage such practices are not Christian so your argument fails.

Dear Brother(Sister?) in Christ, it is with all due Christian charity that I can muster but I asked you, eagleone, on what authority do you make your obnoxious, absurd and juvenile claims?

Do you care to actually answer the question or is it your aim to continue tiring us with more of your tedious, sophomoric, shallow and inflammatory personal (man/woman-made) exegesis?

I absolutely agree and even detect some great wisdom in your “simple logic”

It was determined nearly 500 years ago in the most conservative country in Europe; they stayed and slew the Turks while the Italian fleets fell back.

That Spaniards were exempt from abstinence for their role in defeating the Turks; it was in recognition for their part.

Nothing liberal about it; they didn’t own the Vatican.
