I think this is a very positive sign of goodwill and Christian brotherhood. I hope something productive comes of it in terms of reaching people with a positive message about traditional Christian morality.
Brothers, debating the accusers of the brethren is pointless, they will always find some leader, some doctrine, some denomination to slander. The accusers are of their father satan, they have not the mind of Christ or the love of God. They are wolves intent on tearing apart the flock of Jesus. They use the name of Jesus without belonging to Him, they are deceived and their end will be terrible.
You can always spot them they love arguing, causing divisions, and judging others. They are nothing like Jesus and twist His words to suit their hatred of those in Christ. They mock those who love like Jesus, their hearts are full of hate and see nothing to repent of like the pharisees they behave like.
Bump for later
You can have that one ...
that would "returning"to Catholicism...if you are baptized, you are a Catholic....maybe not a good one, but a Catholic nevertheless!
I can see how this might occur.
Listen to the voices...
Rick Warren is not going Catholic. He is going apostate to the max. He is all for the one world religion led by the False Prophet of Revelation. He is primed to lead millions of souls to hell with his false teachings. People who follow this guy are going straight to hell unless they repent their ways. Warren, Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer, TD Jakes, Benny the Henn, Jim Bakker, Joseph Prince, Rod Parsley, Kenneth Copeland, Jesse Duplantis, David Ibiyeomie, and others. These people teach the send us your “seed money”. You plant your “seed money” with them and you will get rich!!! No, the ones who get rich are these false teachers. Many of them do not believe that Jesus died on the Cross for the sins of man. Osteen has had many opportunities to speak that Jesus IS the Son of God, yet he back peddles. Joyce Meyer and her clan live in a personal gated community near St Louis. She and her children each have their individual mansion. They have a huge swimming pool and pool house. All drive the very best automobiles. Everywhere she goes she goes in a limo and flys in her personal jet. All from the money of people sending in their “seed money.” Bakker’s track record is clear. A conviction for stealing from the people who gave. If you research everyone of these people, you will find false teachings, false beliefs, beliefs that do not follow the Bible. Each is misleading people. Each is stealing from the people with this “seed money” theft. Following this mob will break your wallet, and mislead you straight down the road to hell.
Two years ago he single handedly invented Chrislam.
...from the pastor who brought us “Chris-Lam”
Yes...like proper subject-verb agreement, Rick.

What about MORMONs??
They like to talk about these things!!!
"All of this should be conveyed without having priesthood leaders focus upon intimate matters which are a part of husband and wife relationships. Skillful interviewing and counseling can occur without discussion of clinical details by placing firm responsibility on individual members of the Church to put their lives in order before exercising the privilege of entering a house of the Lord. The First Presidency has interpreted oral sex as constituting an unnatural, impure, or unholy practice. If a person is engaged in a practice which troubles him enough to ask about it, he should discontinue it."
- Official Declaration of the First Presidency of the Church, January 5th, 1982
"Among the most common sexual sins our young people commit are necking and petting. Not only do these improper relations often lead to fornication, [unwed] pregnancy, and abortions - all ugly sins - but in and of themselves they are pernicious evils, and it is often difficult for youth to distinguish where one ends and another begins. They awaken lust and stir evil thoughts and sex desires. They are but parts of the whole family of related sins and indiscretions. Almost like twins, 'petting' and fornication are alike."
- Prophet Spencer W. Kimball, The Miracle of Forgiveness, page 65
"Also far-reaching is the effect of the loss of chastity. Once given or taken or stolen it can never be regained. Even in a forced contact such as rape or incest, the injured one is greatly outraged. If she has not cooperated and contributed to the foul deed, she is of course in a more favorable position. There is no condemnation where there is no voluntary participation. It is better to die in defending one's virtue than to live having lost it without a struggle."
- Prophet Spencer W. Kimball, The Miracle of Forgiveness, page 196
"And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear. Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth." (Genesis 4:9-14.) That was true of murder. It is also true of illicit sex, which, of course, includes all petting, fornication, adultery, homosexual acts, and all other perversions. The Lord may say to offenders, as He did to Cain, "What hast thou done?" The children thus conceived make damning charges against you; the companions who have been frustrated and violated condemn you; the body that has been defiled cries out against you; the spirit which has been dwarfed convicts you. You will have difficulty throughout the ages in totally forgiving yourself."
-Prophet Spencer W. Kimball, "Love Versus Lust", BYU Speech January 5, 1965. Often-used quote still used today in LDS seminary classes.
"I do not find in the Bible the modern terms "petting" nor "homosexuality," yet I found numerous scriptures which forbade such acts under by whatever names they might be called. I could not find the term "homosexuality," but I did find numerous places where the Lord condemned such a practice with such vigor that even the death penalty was assessed."
- Apostle Spencer W. Kimball, "Love Versus Lust", BYU Speech January 5, 1965
"If adultery or fornication justified the death penalty in the old days, and still in Christ's day, is the sin any less today because the laws of the land do not assess the death penalty for it? Is the act less grievous? There must be a washing, a purging, a changing of attitudes, a correcting of appraisals, a strengthening toward self-mastery. There must be many prayers, and volumes of tears. There must be an inner conviction giving to the sin its full diabolical weight. There must be increased devotion and much thought and study. And this takes energy and time and often is accompanied with sore embarrassment, heavy deprivations and deep trials, even if indeed one is not excommunicated from the Church, losing all spiritual blessings."
-Prophet Spencer W. Kimball, The Miracle of Forgiveness, Page 155
"How like the mistletoe is immorality. The killer plant starts with a sticky sweet berry. Little indiscretions are the berries -- indiscretions like sex thoughts sex discussions, passionate kissing, pornography. The leaves and little twigs are masturbation and necking and such, growing with every exercise. The full-grown plant is petting and sex looseness. It confounds, frustrates, and destroys like the parasite if it is not cut out and destroyed, for, in time it robs the tree, bleeds its life, and leaves it barren and dry; and, strangely enough, the parasite dies with its host."
- Apostle Spencer W. Kimball, General Conference Address, April 1, 1967.
Nope,
