Well Kerry is a little bit closer to stepping into that confessional booth then.

I wonder if he would tell the priest the truth about the senator assassination plot meeting he can't recall being at, where his Vietnam Veterans Against the War comrades actually voted on a plan to murder several US senators who were in favor of winning the war. How could someone possibly not remember something like that. Meanwhile, the FBI had evidence he was in fact there. Kerry's people responded with something like "oh well, those were difficult times back then".

I did not judge... I just stated a fact. Anyone that embraces the murder of the most innocent amongst us and embraces one of two sins that the Bible tells us is an Abomination unto GOD... is of satan.

Christ compelled us to make decisions about people. That is not judgement.

Luke 9:3-5

“When you travel, don’t take a walking stick. Also, don’t carry a bag, food, or money. Take for your trip only the clothes you are wearing. When you go into a house, stay there until it is time to leave. If the people in the town will not welcome you, go outside the town and shake their dust off of your feet. This will be a warning to them.”

It’s Buddhist. To be human is to suffer. We all suffer. We all cause ourselves to suffer and we cause others to suffer.

This suffering is self created, lack of piety, morals, failing to lead a fruitful life, but the root cause among all reasons are jealousy, greed and avarice.

We can alleviate our suffering and the suffering we cause others by forgoing jealousy, greed and avarice.

We can forgo jealousy, greed and avarice with love, compassion and humility. From love we become pious and moral, from compassion and humility we live fruitful lives.

My paraphrase of the “Four Noble Truths” of Buddhism.

I think Christians that apply Buddhist philosophies in their lives while worshiping God, believing in Jesus and seeking the Holy Spirit make better Christians

Kerry is pro-abortion. That means he is not a practicing Catholic.

Judge what? His soul? Or his actions?

He is pro-abortion. That means he is not a Christian.

The same “truth” reminiscent of his Ghengis Khan bit.

What a load.

My posting in post number 1 is simply a “nicer” way of doing the “barf”, since this is the religion forum and do not want problems with the Religion Mod.

I leave that to God.

Best to pray for his conversion to the Lord after repenting.

So Kerry’s limited exposure to war shook his faith?When I think about what some of my friends went through there and they came out with a renewed faith that has lasted a lifetime-Kerry’s a little joke of a man.

So, since John is still a pro-abortion socialist,
are we to believe that the 6th, 8th & 10th commandment are not taught?

No, kerry is a Chinese menu Christian. You know he picks one from column A and two from column B so that he he gets the “christianity” that is just right for “him”.

Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.

I have found that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life and that no one comes to the Father but through Him.

That would include Buddha.
