In Christ Alone lyrics
Songwriters: Getty, Julian Keith; Townend, Stuart Richard;
In Christ alone my hope is found He is my light, my strength, my song This Cornerstone, this solid ground Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace When fears are stilled, when strivings cease My Comforter, my All in All Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone, who took on flesh Fullness of God in helpless Babe This gift of love and righteousness Scorned by the ones He came to save
?Til on that cross as Jesus died The wrath of God was satisfied For every sin on Him was laid Here in the death of Christ I live, I live
There in the ground His body lay Light of the world by darkness slain Then bursting forth in glorious Day Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory Sin?s curse has lost its grip on me For I am His and He is mine Bought with the precious blood of Christ
As I said, it was a sincere question. But your only point was that no one argued with him about it....so I still have no reason as to why he called himself that...
Matthias was an apostle by having the lot fall to him, even Judas was called an apostle, it seems to me that Paul took it upon himself to say he was an apostle. Doesn't seem right.
That would not make his writing less, just that he is a self appointed apostle..
The thread is an open thread, boatbums. Besides, if you read #8, it pretty much answers your question, so what's the point of it?
Even Gnostics and Mormons praise Jesus. Does that mean, one can not raise objections to that on an open thread? Change the thread to a reformed Caucus and pat each other on the back without interference. Ask RnMomof7 why she made it an open thread.
Protestantism declared war on Christianity nearly 500 years ago. Although they no longer take up arms against the Church or destroy relics and religious art the warfare has not stopped. Today it is a campaign of lies, mistruths and innuendo. Instead of spreading those lies through a pillow case with eye-holes they use the anonymity of the internet. In every war, truth is alway the first casualty.
I just wonder if posting FReeper's quotes on someone Homepage is within Religion Forum rules. Especially if a FReeper is listed as belonging to one group when he is not.
[RM: Gemecock quotes me on his Homepage as a "FRoman Catholic" and I am not Roman Catholic]
someone=someone’s
Gemecock=Gamecock, sorry.
I’ve seen posters quoting other posters on their own profile pages for both ridicule and rememberance.
Thank you, RM. That's fine. My objection is not that he quoted me, but the fact that he has me identified as a Catholic, which I never was. It would be like identifying an English writer as an American author. I am not Catholic, so quoting me as a "Catholic" is beyond ridicule. It's actually misleading.
Your call.
You might try asking Petronski, Cronos, and Hacksaw while you're at it. You could also try asking sandyeggo and TaxachusettsMan, if you how to contact them in FReeper Purgatory :)
My objection was that he has me listed as a "Roman Catholic" poster, which is a lie.
But, if that's allowed, then I can quote you or him on my homepage under the rubric "famous FR Atheist quotes," or as 0bmama supporters, right?
Is that perspicuous enough for you?
Why on earth would you think I would possibly know or care what you have on your homepage? Your postings are bad enough, I have no desire to find the motherlode.
NL has taken many non-Catholic Christians to task for what he calls "trolling" on the Catholic threads in order to lie about their doctrines and disparage Catholics. He calls them haters and bigots, now they're "Pauliwogs" who bastardize the Bible. It seemed hypocritical for him to carry on so much about his beliefs being offended by posters who lie in wait with their evil motives and pounce at every opportunity they have. If such behavior is so repulsive to him, that he would turn around and do exactly the same thing is questionable.
I know the thread is open, but if you would look back on the path the posts took in an honest way, you would see that those who screamed and complain the loudest are guilty of exactly the same offense. NL response was that he was answering the lies about the teaching of Rome, and up to that point nothing of the kind had even occurred.
rampant divorce - and annulment$ for a price. Kennedy, Cuomo, etc.
rampant homosexualism - lawsuits galore against Rome.
rampant promiscuity - it got Madonna started.
RAMPANT LIBERALISM - 54% of Catholics voted for Pro Abortion Barry.
Paul repeatedly said in the beginning of each of his epistles that he was an apostle of Jesus Christ. Rom. 1:1;11:13; 1 Cor. 1:1;9:2;15:9; 2Cor. 1:1;12:12; Gal. 1:1;2:8; Eph. 1:1; Col. 1:1; 1Tim. 1:1;2:7; 2Tim.1:1;1:11; Titus 1:1. Even Peter speaks of the Lord speaking through prophets and the apostles in 2 Peter 3:2 and Paul specifically in 2 Peter 3:15. Paul called himself that because Christ appeared to him and comission him to be one and to take the gospel to the gentiles.
It makes no difference to me if it's Natural Law criticizing the Reformed or the Reformed attacking Rome, the principle of an open forum applies, period.
Here is an interesting thing: Alex Murphy makes and receives posts. But if you go to his Homepage it says his account has "banned or suspended."
It did nothing to stop it, but I didn't really expect it to. I don't care for rank hypocrisy and I hope you aren't a fan either.
No I am not. But I also don't engage in activities if I don't expect any results.
And quoting Paul is not valid for me to find where God said Saul, who he called by a new name Paul, but I want where in scripture He calls him an apostle..
