On Hannity, he was talking to Mel Gibson about other stories in the bible.
When Sean asked him what one he'd like to do, he said the book of Maccabees!
This is of course the book which, from the Catholic viewpoint, Luther removed from the bible due to praying for the dead, but it also covers the exciting period after the Jewish return from Babylon when the Greek general Anticus Epiphanies took over the rule of Israel.
This really is block buster material and opens up the whole debate of the Catholic bible vs. the Protestant one.
What is your freeper reaction?
Thou shalt not use the Lord's name in vain?
That was my reaction too.... I'd personally rather hear someone use the "f-word" (demeaning humanity's glory) than to say "Oh My G ..." (demeaning God's glory).
"But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world." (Galatians 6:14)
I'm about as non-Roman-Catholic as they come (I'm a Reformation doctrine guy), but just don't have a hang-up on the differing ways that Protestants and Roman Catholics revere and display the cross/crucifix....
Well put. I might tack Pentecost on the end of that, but that's a minor quibble.
