I’d settle for it being a tagline. Ha!
Our rights as free Americans and Christians are every day one step closer to being revoked by an organization hiding behind a church using Christ name {Not being mentioned in this thread} and several false prophet ministers we see on TV almost daily.
People The Pope is not your enemy at least not Ratzinger. He is not in opposition to Christ nor is most conservative preachers of the Gospel of any church.. The next Pope or your next preacher? GOD only knows and the Lucifer's angels are just as likely to show up at any ones church next in the form of Preacher, Priest, Deacon, or Sunday School teacher.
I like a good discussion as much as anyone about matters of The Gospel and religion. This thread has gone far past it and I include myself in some of the behavior not in step with that the Lord demands toward our brothers and sisters in Christ.
This thread at this point reminds me of visiting the monkey exhibit at the zoo. They act like monkeys because they are just that. We are brothers and sisters in Christ responsible for what we say BECAUSE OTHERS OF LESSER FAITH may not understand and me harmed. By being harmed I mean saying if is bickering is the following of Christ I don't need it. I don't think anyone in the thread wants to do that to anyone. Stop, take a deep breath, and think.
A bigger problem and enemy is upon us and the enemies leader is laughing at us one and all this moment. I can disagree with someones beliefs as them not being mine and walk the path GOD put me on.
Christ didn't tell us to make anyone converts to our churches. He told us to go and teach the Gospel and help make believers.
Please leave it to GOD to put the person in the church HE wants them in. If they are in the wrong one He'll let them know in His time.
