“Hail Goddess full of grace”

Jesus is not God. Jesus is the son of God the Father.

You are either mormon or jehovah witness in your rejection of the deity of Christ Jesus our Lord??

O blessed be

wiccan phrase

I wouldnt't go into the dark woods with any of this coven.

The bible says very clearly that the dead are not dead. It’s one of the biggest themes in the whole bible. There are many many places where the bible could simply state that we should ask for intercession from the dead but it never does. Rather it says many things about how wrong it is to speak with the dead, in any context.

INDEED.

I’ve been reading you interpertation. Could you please throw me a bone about where people are “dead”? I’ve been laughed at by non-Catholics right here on FR because I said that my mother (passed on in 1989) watches over my daughters. They say, I am communicating with the dead. I say, she is very much alive in heaven (God willing)

What part of “eternal life in Christ” am I missing?
Just because a body dies, doesn’t mean a person does.

I’m asking you because you seem to be able to explain things better than I do.

Good points. Thx

Interesting thread in the same ballpark:

The English language is a wonderful thing, which only long years of expensive school can reduce to duckspeak like

Jesus used “Abba” as a “revolutionary deconstruction of domination structures of his day in both religious and social institutions.”

Ah yes, heads will roll one day, lol

You found us out. After 2000 years and more than a billion adherents,

First of all, could a billion Hindus, or a billion Muslims be wrong for hundreds or thousands of years? What a carnal argument.

[DungeonMaster]

but they are not eternal.

Exactly. That's my point. There is no basis for a heavenly family with a mother. Well I'm sure there is a basis in the RC imagination, just not in the bible.

Read your post again and enjoy the irony with me...

Trying to make a joke shows me that you can't make a point.

Dear God help us

[incredulous joe]

I wonder what they do when they get to this part?

“Oh, my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especialy those in most need of thy mercy.”

Lots of Jihadi’s are hoping to help lots of heads roll.

Not realizing their heads will then be scheduled.

Notice if you will, how “ecology” is now elevated to prime importance. Coming soon to a little old NAU near you, Bill Clinton ensconced as high priest in Lucifer’s Temple in the UN, and our goddess earthmother, The HillaryBeast, in charge of 1/10th of us all..

Lutheran (ELCA) Ping!

Ebeneezer and herchurch.org are as representative of the ELCA as Westboro Baptist and Rev. Fred Phelps are representative of those affirming traditional sexual ethics.

There’s nothing more pitiful than an aging hippy.

Yes there is, an aging hippie who thinks she has something important to share with all of us. Definitely worse.

[Quix]

TOOOOOO TRUE.

THX.

Could you please throw me a bone about where people are “dead”?

There are numerous places throughout the Gospels where Jesus differentiates between those who are dead in sin and those who live in God. He talks over and over about what it means and what it takes to be raised to life... and not only about resurrection. He is referring to our Spiritual death that we suffered because of our first parents and our rising to life in Christ in our restoration to God's family. I like this particular passage on this subject:

Matt 22:31 Now, as for the dead rising to life: haven't you ever read what God has told you? He said, 32 "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.' He is the God of the living, not of the dead."

I challenge anyone to argue that those who live in Christ in Heaven are the dead to which He refers.

I’m asking you because you seem to be able to explain things better than I do.

Thank you very much for your encouragement!
