The Catholic Church and the United States must be Destroyed
I know of one Protestant Denomination where their constitution is toilet paper.
Take the Log from your own eye first. This may be an effective way to handle the Protestant Catholic bashing.
Keep an eye on the Caucus threads and you'll hear a lot of it. :)
I think this is a similar phenomenon as what I experienced with my liberal relatives re: George Bush. They thought I loved the guy, and that I agreed with everything he did, but I really didn't. It's just that some attacks on him were so plain *idiotic* that I spent most of my time arguing those. They never understood that I was very open about criticizing him on immigration, nation-building, spending, etc.
I agree with SaraJohnson's take...Christ never said that the gates of hell wouldn't attack the Church, He just said they wouldn't prevail.
We should all throw stones at the evil within our own churches. There is plenty to go around. That thing about removing the beam from one’s own eye before picking at the splinters in the eye of another...
For some folks the best defense of church based sexual sin is the offense of attacking another church’s sexual sin. We have big sin going on in all the churches right now and it does not make everyone in that institution a participant. But some people do not understand this.
The faith and truth in Jesus of some folks - in all churches - is threatened by the sin of people and leaders in their own church. In that case, better to ridicule the imperfections of members and leaders in another church rather than lose one’s shakey faith in admitting to and dealing with one’s own imperfect human institution.
In the endtimes one’s faith and bond to truth in Jesus will have to be strong enough to stand alone as church institutions fall to the total leadership and dominance of evil. Jesus will prevail and so will many Christians/ Catholics in His eyes.
Or it could be said to be centered in Boston...
It is called the fear of self examination.
But you have attracted this ugly thing to you by saying the anti-Christ will be centered in the Catholic church when that is not true. It is going rule over all previously Christian churches rather than just act as the termites within, as it does now.
Yes, if you even want to engage in the insanity.
You’re absolutely right. In the end times no one will be able to depend on a church, only their faith and hope in Jesus Christ and serving Him until the end. Let us all be faithful until the very end.
Or not.
You don’t know me well enough to say that, so whatever you say does not bother me.
Yes, in the Catholic Church.
Oh, they just think it’s payback time because they know there are things about the Catholic Church I don’t agree with. Silly children.
I agree.
The Elim they are smearing is not the Elim that we’re affiliated with. Their Elim is in Australia and New Zealand, not NY. There are many Elims, since it’s a Biblical place. Don’t be fooled by them.
I doubt there are any lefties in these posts.
People like him never really have anything to offer the conversations, just regurgitating what someone says right back at them. That’s what kiddies do, I guess.
Thanks, but no thanks.
I do wish you well, as I do every Christian church, in fighting the non biblical liberals that are seeking to turn evil into good.
FWIW, in talking with associates and friends who voted for 0. My question to them is always the same, "Any second thoughts yet?". The response quickly tells me if it's worth talking.
I have
NOT
said that the AC will be centered in the RC edifice.
I don’t really believe that it will.
I believe that all Christian organizations will be subsumed under the AC’s influence.
Essentially, I wholesale agree with you.
***You are so wrong. You dont know these people or that institution. Look into your own institution before smearing Elim. Ive never know anyone there who has been the least bit cultish. My church is under the Elim umbrella and we are FAR from being a cult. Shame on you.***
Enlighten me as to the particular Elim you are affiliated with, as opposed to the other Elims, if you would, please.
