I believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, but your words I do not trust. I think you misunderstand him.
Also? Also what? I am not catholic?
Yes we have established that; I seem to recall you mentioned you belong to a re-formed religion.
Does your church hold to the Doctrine of Balaam?
I love the Jewish people. I cannot imagine trying to curse the Jews like he and his clients did. I fear God and would not want to fall into judgement like Balaam did. Moslems are looking for alliances with churches to curse Israel. You can even see it in our generation. Iran has even formed an alliance with hundreds of Jews, Neturei Karta, to curse and destroy Israel. The Clarion Project complains that the Presbyterian Church partnered with Islamists and those Islamists want to make the church their Islamophobia police. The Presbyterian Church (USA) and its Islamic interfaith partners have also made common cause when it comes to Israel. The Church almost voted in favor of divestment from Israel last summer, winning praise from the director of ISNAs Office of Interfaith Relations, Sayyid Syeed. He was previously recorded in 2006 saying, Our job is to change the constitution of America. Its Israel-Palestine Mission Network endorsed the No Blank Check for Israel rally on January 19. It is a member of the Interfaith Boycott Coalition, the faith-based wing of the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation. The Interfaith Boycott Coalition supported the boycott of SodaStream because it is based in an Israeli community in the West Bank. The revised study is scheduled to be presented during the 221st General Assembly in 2014. The current version states that Presbyterians are called to identify and speak out against bigotry, prejudice, discrimination, and violence against Islam and Muslim peoples of all cultures, especially in the United States.
He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me: Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed. And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak. And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
Wow did not know this about PUSA. Frightening document.
The feeling is mutual. I don't trust your interpretation, either.
>>>Yes we have established that; I seem to recall you mentioned you belong to a re-formed religion.<<<
Their understanding is closer to mine than any other: but only close. But I avoid man-made rules for interpreting Christianity. God wrote his law in my heart. Men's interpretations can only corrupt it.
>>>I love the Jewish people.<<<
Is that Jewish, as in race; Jewish as Christian Jews; or Jewish as in old testament, antichristian, rabbinical Judaism? I, personally, am a Christian first; and I am less than accommodating to those who blaspheme Christ.
But if you really love them, as you say you do, you will pound Acts 3:22-23 and Acts 17:26 into their thick skulls. They won't listen to me.

The reason I am asking is because you, like the Clarion Group, did not distinguish the "church" that ordains homosexuals and women, with the traditional, reformed church that has been around for centuries. The half-hearted "USA" in parentheses, after first claiming the culprit was "the Presbyterian Church," leads me to believe this is simply another attempt to destroy the church from within by the Father of Lies.
I assume that was not your intention. Would it not be prudent to exercise caution when choosing articles from outside sources with unknown or hidden agendas? You know as well as I how useful the anti-semite smear has been to Satan in recent years. What was once a useful label has been turned into a tool of hate and destruction by Satan and his anti-christian forces.
Thanks,
