...and said it frustrated him to hear "politicians talk about values ... without actually valuing families the way we ought to."

Said the man who had his first marriage annuled which leaves his kids where?

faith without works is dead,"

Do you realize that this violates the tenants of almost every protestant church and even (several years back) a new doctrine by the Catholic Church???

Faith is never dead. Basic christian doctrine.

[Darkwolf377]

Kerry still trying to nail down his black base--and Bush doing much better with blacks than in 2000??

[Dolphy]

"For the next four years, we are going to work out what we need to do to heal the wounds of this country, to be one America," Mr. Kerry said.

"We are going to get this done. Let's make it happen. Let's walk in the footsteps of the Lord."

John Kerry is going to heal the wounds and walk in the footsteps of the Lord? If President Bush said this it would be further proof that he was a right wing religious extremist. John Kerry can say it because nobody believes he means it except these poor fools in a black church who don't realize he's just come calling for votes.

[EternalVigilance]

Good catch.

[kingattax]

despicable and sad

I for one am glad we have a candidate for the Presidency who is so serious about his faith that he is willing to campaign in a black church every single Sunday until after the election. Whatever it takes, right, John?

[oreolady]

I sure wish we could have gotten the message out tactfuly somehow during this election,to the African-Americans the fact that Dem candidates "visit" black churches when they are "running". Cannot people see what they are there for???
They never visit after they win, lol. (or lose).

[GeronL]

works without faith is nice, but you won't go to heaven

[shibumi]

Let's see if we'e got this straight...an apostate Catholic, addressing a Black Protestant congregation for political gain, questioning his opponent's sincerity?!? (And in so doing, quoting scripture out of context and contradicting primary tenents of both Catholic and Protestant doctrine.)

HMMMMMMMM........!

[JohnnyZ]

Said the man who had his first marriage annuled which leaves his kids where?

He requested an annulment, we only assume it was granted. As for the kids, THEIR STATUS IS NOT AFFECTED as has been stated hundreds of times on this forum.

If Kerry were to get elected, I think he'd HAVE to be publicly excommunicated (he prolly already is in fact).

Hey Senator Kerry.

Next time you are preaching to a Black Church, try this quotation from the Bible.

2 Timothy, chapter 3


"1": This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

"2": For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

"3": Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

"4": Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

"5": Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

"6": For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

"7": Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

It will be such a relief not to look at this poor excuse of a man after the election is over. We'll finally be rid of him.

He can go back to his worthless life and play with his toys - and good riddance!!

[PhilDragoo]

He said the president's program "steps over a constitutional line" because it allows religious activities as part of the programs

Kerry said, politicking in church.

Communion for the six-time voter to keep "partial-birth abortion" legal?

Unite the nation?

Lying on full-auto, the unconcealed Kerry.

For all the false faith, he favored atheistic communism.

i am not sure i understand your point. i think i can corroborate kerry's statement with james 2:14-16 "what good is it my brothers if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds..."

why are your questioning kerry's statementas not being the bibically based?

i am amazed at how kerry will use the bible to suite his political needs.

[SolomoninSouthDakota]

You've nailed it. What's to become of such politicking we'll see soon!

LOL!

The hypocrisy is sickening.

[Mo1]

Shortly after Mr. Kerry took his seat at the front of the church, a couple of churchgoers arose and walked out. "I won't spend a moment with that man," said one woman, who disappeared before reporters could catch up with her.

Good for her!!

About time some catholic stood up to that farce
