Again you violate your own promise to stop posting to me if I asked.

You never asked without attaching untrue conditions.

What nonsense. Alamo Girl has more love in her heart than any one on either side of these threads. It’s sad to see you can’t recognize it.

It doesn’t bother me.

I just wanted you to know that—or why—I wasn’t going to reply to every post along the way until you hit 1433.

And I give the protestants on these threads credit for continuing the battle against the lies of the Catholic church and those who don’t recognize Christian love when they see it. Have a nice day.

I think Alamo-girl is very careful not to applaud negative statements about anything. She appears to be circumspect in what she asserts and encourages.

You should try reading her posts with eyes looking for the truth, and not from a reflexive and defensive posture which apparently blinds you to the validity of her posts.

I challenge you to find even one of them that is an obvious "attack" on any church. Her posts are simply declarations of Scriptural truth.

TOTALLY TRUE.

Which is what makes the allegations all the more

ABSURD TO THE MAX.

When is the book coming out? I’d love to read it.

So far, the book has been understood as intended for a limited, private readership.

Notwithstanding that, my sense — having read it — is: That could change. :^) (In fact, I suspect it will.)

The original expectation was for release before Christmas.

Thank you so much for asking, marysecretary!

That was your creepiest post yet.

The part in italics is false. Terms of endearment from people who applaud lies about my faith--that would be you--are creepy, fake, saccharin, treacly, fraudulent and unwelcome.

Is it possible for you to give it up?

Sorry dear Quix: I meant to ping you.

But xzins makes for good company also, IMHO. Speaking as an RC, I find both of you "together" on most points of theology. And find nothing to complain about.

So I hold you both to be in good Grace, in the Spirit of the Lord. And am ever glad and grateful for your company!

Blind hatred makes no allowance for honest dialogue.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh . . .

Evidently another occasion for bitterness, resentment, unforgiveness, vengeance . . . on top of the parentally anchored tankers full.

Dearly Beloved . . . it is my . . . less than fun duty to inform all those with ears to hear and eyes to see . . .

One of our very beloved RC brethren has sent around to selected pastors and ministries a most profound prophetic document, including the 700 Club staff--which has reportedly received it well and are studying it.

The document is still largely embargoed and restricted to those our beloved RC brother feels led to share it with. It's not clear if or when it will have a larger audience.

I don't know that any Believer would be 100% clean and unscathed in reading the sobering doc. And, perhaps the author will correct me in FREEPMAIL or on the thread for the following.

However, my own sense before his doc and certainly afterwards is:

For example re Proverbs 17:13: "EVIL will not depart from the house of the one who returns evil for good."

And, he cites Titus 3.

Cutting to the chase from my perspective and sensing . . .

God is more than ever looking at the thoughts and intents of the heart in our era.

And, consequences for bad faith, bad heart attitudes toward God and man will begin to fall down around the necks of the perpetrators far sooner than has been routinely the case in past eras.

Those maintaining a death grip onto bitterness, unforgiveness, resentments, vengeance, anger . . . particularly toward brothers and sisters in Christ . . . will find themselves (and sadly often their families) reaping an abundance of such qualities with interest piled on, as well.

Blaming, rationalizing, self-righteous harumphing, dust in the air, whining, wailing, pointing the finger . . . all such will only intensify the disciplines of The Lord and the reaping from sowing such.

All attitudes similar to "Lord, I thank you that I'm not like that publican over there . . . " will entail a painful harvest.

Death-gripped and maintained stubbornness and/or rebellion coupled with bitterness, resentment, unforgiveness &/or vengeance will likely begin to incur multiple disciplines including serious health problems.

Just as God is not slack concerning His promises . . . He will not be mocked on the obedience INCREASINGLY demanded on the above issues. They are essentially the walking out of

LOVING GOD FIRST, FOREMOST AND ALWAYS IN ALL WAYS as well as our neighbors as ourselves.

There is a perverse mentality which sometimes barely consciously but plenty consciously kind of insists on it's own way. A death grip is maintained on bitterness, resentment, unforgiveness, stubbornness, self-righteousness, hatred, anger . . . though the person concerned knows full well all the Scriptures against such.

INSTEAD OF COMPLYING such an individual will typically redouble their

RELIGIOUS

ACTIVITIES

AND

RITUALS

convincing themselves that all their tidy hoop jumping makes it all right with God and they can continue on their unmerry way with their death-grip on all the crud from hell.

WRONG!

. . . as God will be increasingly demonstrating in life after life of believers in all walks of life and "Christian" clubs, most assuredly including the RC edifice.

Keep in mind that most folks tend to see others as THE viewer is vs as the viewED is.
