Sec. of State John Kerry spoke Sunday about losing his faith in God while a soldier in the Vietnam War, then returning to his Catholic faith after an "epiphany" that suffering is part of God's plan.
After the Vietnam War shook his faith, correspondent Martha Raddatz asked on ABC's "This Week," "how did you get that back?"

I wonder if he would tell the priest the truth about the senator assassination plot meeting he can't recall being at, where his Vietnam Veterans Against the War comrades actually voted on a plan to murder several US senators who were in favor of winning the war. How could someone possibly not remember something like that. Meanwhile, the FBI had evidence he was in fact there. Kerry's people responded with something like "oh well, those were difficult times back then".
I did not judge... I just stated a fact. Anyone that embraces the murder of the most innocent amongst us and embraces one of two sins that the Bible tells us is an Abomination unto GOD... is of satan.
Christ compelled us to make decisions about people. That is not judgement.
Luke 9:3-5
“When you travel, don’t take a walking stick. Also, don’t carry a bag, food, or money. Take for your trip only the clothes you are wearing. When you go into a house, stay there until it is time to leave. If the people in the town will not welcome you, go outside the town and shake their dust off of your feet. This will be a warning to them.”
It’s Buddhist. To be human is to suffer. We all suffer. We all cause ourselves to suffer and we cause others to suffer.
This suffering is self created, lack of piety, morals, failing to lead a fruitful life, but the root cause among all reasons are jealousy, greed and avarice.
We can alleviate our suffering and the suffering we cause others by forgoing jealousy, greed and avarice.
We can forgo jealousy, greed and avarice with love, compassion and humility. From love we become pious and moral, from compassion and humility we live fruitful lives.
My paraphrase of the “Four Noble Truths” of Buddhism.
I think Christians that apply Buddhist philosophies in their lives while worshiping God, believing in Jesus and seeking the Holy Spirit make better Christians
Kerry is pro-abortion. That means he is not a practicing Catholic.
Judge what? His soul? Or his actions?
He is pro-abortion. That means he is not a Christian.
The same “truth” reminiscent of his Ghengis Khan bit.
What a load.
Then what is that mass to your daughter in that it becomes fake?
My posting in post number 1 is simply a “nicer” way of doing the “barf”, since this is the religion forum and do not want problems with the Religion Mod.
I leave that to God.
Best to pray for his conversion to the Lord after repenting.
So Kerry’s limited exposure to war shook his faith?When I think about what some of my friends went through there and they came out with a renewed faith that has lasted a lifetime-Kerry’s a little joke of a man.
I have come that they might have life and have it abundantly. Jn 10:10
So, since John is still a pro-abortion socialist,
are we to believe that the 6th, 8th & 10th commandment are not taught?
No, kerry is a Chinese menu Christian. You know he picks one from column A and two from column B so that he he gets the “christianity” that is just right for “him”.
Sounds like he is like god, knowing good and evil...
Yep, a humanist.

Excellent advice and I did as you recommended. Merry Christmas FRiend! May GOD bless you and yours.
How does it become fake for her?
I have found that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life and that no one comes to the Father but through Him.
That would include Buddha.
Everyone, let’s just pray that SOS Kerry and the other CINOS have best CHRISTMAS DAY gift of them all, spiritual converstion to the King of Kings.
Have a good and blessed Merry Christmas!
