Mark, thank you for posting this. Allen - Excellent point.
SendShaq: Obviously you miss his point that many think that one can be a Christian without Jesus. It may be obvious, but in today’s world, it is NOT. Be slower to call the Pope or any other Christian, an “idiot” for teaching the truth to those who either do not know or do not believe.
there is a person where I work who is an atheist (quiet, not ‘evangelical’) who believes that the morality of society comes from within individual people; he does not accept that it is only because of Judeo-Christian morality that allows this country and Western society to exist. He does not see a correlation between the break down of current society as resulting from the constant attacks on Judeo-Christian faith and beliefs. And for the type of work he does, his inability to see this disconnect is astonishing to me.
Thank-you for your coments. What it all comes down to is the need for relationship with the Lord Jesus.
I sense it is a call for ALL of us to pray for our own spiritual conversion as well as for the spiritual conversion of others to Christ.
I don't believe you because how could these Jesusless Christians not know???... They go to your church...What were they taught before they were allowed membership to your so-called body of christ???
A real Christian, leader or not would not pussyfoot around like this...He'd tell people that if you are without Jesus Christ, you are NOT a Christian whether you think you are or not...
So now we have to ask...What kind of Catholic Christians are those at FR??? The kind with Jesus or Christians without Jesus???
Amen!
