Be careful what you say. The Vatican's vast computer network has already cracked Free Republic and knows exactly who and where you are. The crack albino monks in their black helicopters are ready to visit wrath on those who impugn the Church as we speak.
Nanoo Nanoo 220.
There are those in this world that would have us not believe or be prepared for coming judgment on this world. Just as with Noah, Joseph, and Lot, I believe the prophets have given us information of what is coming. We were told it would not be easy to understand.
2 Peter 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
There is a special place in scripture, and the future for scoffers. It looks as if you have chosen to join that group.
You can jest about it NL...and it does seem at times pretty far fetched...or at least it use to...but not anymore. Scripture is like that at times...we can’t imagine certain things possible but then as time moves forward we see not only possible, but actually understood and seen.
Several of the churches I’ve attended wanted no part of the World Council of Churches when they first formed and named themsleves....though they claim to represent all Protestant faiths...that is simply not the case... and part of the reasons many Independant churches arose since that time.
I do wonder if the catholic believers might do likewise if they are pushed into this universal church....they cannot remain within the catholic church when it continues this push for too much longer...and it would seem, as with the protestant churches...
Too many un-believers have entered and taken positions of authority. But Christ said this would be so and warned us this would occur. I just hope and pray those we have become acquainted with on FR all “escape” before it’s too late. I for one will be very very happy when that day occurs...and they too come out from among them.
