May God bless you and yours too.
Thank you.
(VIA CNN)Years before the nations capital legalized same-sex marriage in March, one church in Washington, D.C., opened its doors to gay couples as part of its mission to establish an inclusive body of Biblical believers. Pastors Christine and Dennis Wiley performed a 2007 commitment ceremony at their altar. That action split the historically black church, prompting half of the congregation to leave. Yvonne Moore not only left Covenant Baptist, where she had worshipped for nearly 40 years: she filed a lawsuit for her weekly tithes because, as she said, They didnt respect the members enough to listen to us.
There were articles on CNN, 60 minutes and numerous other sites. I included links from Christian radio sources.
Second I said "Baptist" not SBC.
Third I seem to recall a split with the TBC a number of years ago over this very issue and IIRC the TBC makes up a rather large portion of the SBC.
The name is VERGA and it is polite to ping them when you mention them.
Is that like the royal "we" or something?
Did a Fairy whisper that in your ear???
Technically It could be. There is a rumor that my family is related to Giovanni Verga. He was a Sicilian Count and an author. Personally IO think if my family is related it is due to "illegitimacy" or "Slave adoption."
Yup. Those who don't think about Christian unity don't want to. They would rather bash each other. Perhaps there are many rooms in Heaven so members of the various groups of Christians can snuggle together and pretend they're the only Christians in Heaven.
; and displaced Christians will be left with two choices: return to Holy Catholic Church or give themselves to the world.
The unless is the THIRD CHOICE if you care to read it and commnet.
Family legends do make interesting stories, don’t they. I’m tenuously connected via possible ancestry to several historical figures in the United States, England and Ireland but wouldn’t claim to actually be related because it can’t be proved.
So says the Vatican.
I ain't the Vatican.
my apologies on both accounts.
Those pesky pagan Catholics.
Tiber has nothing to do with it...It's the religion of Rome which your religion is based on...Your theory is that Peter reigned from Rome...If Peter was supposedly buried at what currently is the Vatican, it was and is in Rome, the city built on 7 hills...The Roman Catholic religion...
The Vatican isn't really a city...It's little more than a religious compound within the city of Rome, The Whore of Babylon...
Oh boy! Another Protestant-bashing thread, brought to you by members of the same ... well, suffice to say “pot, kettle, black.”
“And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, ...”
Revelation is about the fall of the Roman Empire — code word Babylon in Revelation.
It is not about the Catholic Church.
And then the Catholic religion became the Roman Empire...And the new Roman Catholic Empire still persecuted Christians...And universal doesn't mean Christian...
The Catholic Church IS the Roman Empire...That's how it got its name...The Empire lost its political and military power the but the religion is still there, ready to be crashed by God...
The Vatican was not one of the traditional seven hills of Rome. The Vatican is on the west side of the Tiber, the seven hills are on the east side.
