I remember that. The girl's own mother brought her to him, and later led her out, stumbling and dazed. I thought "Yep. I bet that's pretty close to the truth."
I shiver with disgust and am repulsed when someone mentions Hollywood and the Democrat party. They seem to be separated by the very very thinest line....
A bump for the culture warriors...
This needs to be frontpage story. Hollywood is evil and is after our children, at best for propoganda.
For some strange reason he flat out denies the most obvious pedophile of them all,Michael Jackson.Never understood that.And another strange thing I never understand why a lot of women I know staunch conservatives and devout Christian at that deny it too.As a matter of fact they fawn over him.They always say,"oh you don't know that,can't judge a book by it's cover."Then I ask them if they'd let their kids spend the night with him alone.
I have seen more than one post from you saying churches other than the catholic church are not true churches and do not call homosexuality or sexual abuse of a child a sin. You are grievously wrong on both points.
Well, how many true Churches are there? Which ones have the truth? I have taken courses on this subject and on the origins and history of Christianity so I have studied the issue. Maybe, the Jews are correct? Do you know? I do know Religion takes Faith (and some reason). Christianity is a reasoned religion, thanks to the patristic period and St. Augustine, and St. Thomas Aquinas and many others.
I have also seen the heresy of Bishops—even Cardinals and Popes and right now, with the New Age religions-—most still calling themselves “Christian” (are a joke) and they adopt the theology which is the opposite of the words in the Bible. These people should NOT be allowed to call themselves Christian—and neither should the Mormons.
To me—the orthodox Christians— the Evangelicals who resist popular culture and Jews are true to the Biblical texts—I advocate most of their Theology—it is productive and a good and effective way to live for societies. It leads to flourishing families and protects children. I love the Protestant roots of America and those many Christians (and the couple of Deists) were profound thinkers—after all, they were affected by the writings of Thomas Reid and logic of St. Thomas—through John Locke.
The New Age (irrational) thinking is a joke to reason and a corruption of the Bible. I am not putting down those Christian churches that are not Catholic, if they adhere to their Calvinistic roots and/or Biblical texts.
In fact, although I am Catholic, I highly respect the logic of both Martin Luther and john Calvin, but I love the theology of St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas more, and that is why I have faith in the Catholic Church despite all the heretics inside it and teaching at Catholic Universities. That Satan has infiltrated the Catholic Church was bound to happen. BUT, I love the Theology of the Catholic Church.
St. Thomas perfected the ideas of Natural Law Theory in his Summa Theologia and those ideas were as perfect as man can get-—and were adopted by the Founding Fathers and put directly in the Constitution and Legal System of America because those ideas were inserted into John Locke’s theories (all logical, empirical thinking) and were the basis and the foundation that triggered The Age of Reason-—this set off by no other than the Catholic Church and Scholasticism created by the Catholic Church.
True—the Catholic Luther was the impetus that got the ball rolling—but he not only brought forth great wisdom—he also directly caused great reform in the Catholic Church.
That being said—no earthly organizations are perfect—they can’t be because they are made up of human beings-—but I just look at the Theology. Pagan ideas???? Seeping into the Churches....yes, big problem...and it has destroyed many once vibrant “churches”.
.
Are you actually trying to say there are NO false “Christian” “churches” with false teaching, when the Bible warns of this?
Christian Churches that condemn homosexual acts and child molestation are indeed, practicing Christianity—and I respect any Christian Church that adheres to Biblical Texts— not only on homosexuality, though, but on abortion, contraception, etc. The Bible is very clear on a lot of issues—including the evil of communism—that force and evil control over one’s private property—particularly a person’s conscience and body.
