Wide is the road and broad is the path that leads to destruction.

Better a small pure church, than a big one with a form of godliness but denying the power thereof.

[doc1019]

Preach it sister! ;-)

[Viennacon]

Millenials typically do not know even rudimentary facts about the world. Best to maybe not kowtow to morons

[Lorianne]

I don’t think the mosque’s are going to be shrinking over not accepting gay sex .... they will grow in attendance.

[Vince Ferrer]

If muslims get stronger by being more strict, why shouldn’t the same thing happen with Catholics?

[RoosterRedux]

The ultimate fish wrap is the NYTimes.

Yet Tim Keller is taking the City by storm.

Check it out.

I didn't know that not only do we have to accept homosexual marriage as normal, but now we actually have to approve of man on man anal sex.....

if we have to approve that, then we must also accept man on sheep.......

we've gone beyond insanity...

[dsrtsage]

Since it is liberals stated goal to destroy religion, does it not follow that getting religions to liberalise is part of the plan to destroy them?

Dear Brian,

“...and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.”

...and neither shall you Brian.

[Chode]

Amen...

[Jim from C-Town]

Yes, it has worked out so well for the Episcopalians.

[RoosterRedux]

Because Christianity was immediately consumed/enveloped by a human-directed mechanism (the Catholic Church). Corrupt but powerful.

And this power continued until the Reformation.

And the Truth burst out again.

And it is still bursting out...because even protestant Churches have become corrupt and misguided.

[Mark17]

Hmmm, let me think about that for a minute..........YES, YES, YES. From the highest mountain, YES.

[Politicalkiddo]

Our Church will cease to exist if we abandon Christ because people don’t like his message. People have never liked his message, they sure aren’t going to start now.

[GeronL]

Sounds like a publication that should really stop pretending to have any relation to a church

[arthurus]

To these people the Catholic Church is just another business or club competing for customers or members. They are not Catholics. They are not even heretics or Protestants. They are functioning atheists.

[terycarl]

1.5% of the population, most of whom are not Catholic threaten to leave the Catholic church because they preach the truth.....O.K.. I guess

[Vendome]

Might as well succumb to the “Real Truth” and become Mormon “The One True Church”...

that was, perhaps,the most inane and pointless statement that I have ever seen on the subject of protestant denominations falling away from true Christianity...
