Well it’s not Guns N Roses but that’s probably considered a good thing by most fans of the song :)
Cool song. Nice moody atmosphere in the music.
That there is pretty funny :)
I wonder why comments on the song are disabled.
It’s funny. I think my cat is a fascist.

Yes, I think Jesus went to Hades, and led the righteous dead, from Abraham's bosom to Heaven.
My opinion is, the spirits in prison, were the unsaved dead. I think He said something to them too, like their doom, in the lake of fire, was sure, and fixed, FOREVER. If any of them ever thought they were going to get a second chance at Heaven, He put the kabash on that rumor.
But this continues to illustrate the problem for the Roman Catholic....which ECF does the RC draw upon for they often contradict Rome on the doctrines near and dear to them?
“The Virgin birth of Jesus Christ is also in Scripture. Yet many refuse to accept it.”
I accept it because the Holy Spirit inspired it.
Purgatory is no where in Scripture. I obviously don’t believe it.
Christ’s death is sufficient to cover all sin for the person who entrusts himself to Him alone, apart from human efforts and false rituals.
None.
I am cleansed by the blood of Jesus and covered with HIS righteousness.
My works will be examined and tested AS IF by fire, to see whether they merit reward in heaven, but they do not determine my salvation and my reward is not heaven. Heaven is already a given for me.
I may not have any reward beyond that, but I’m still going.
I have seen that in the mall recently.

We accept stuff in Scripture as God’s word is Truth.
We do not accept the claims, imaginings, fantasies, and wishful thinking of men who claim things that are not found there.
Paul addresses that in Corinthians with and man who was sleeping with his father's wife.
1 Corinthians 5:1-5 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his father's wife. And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you.
For though absent in body, I am present in spirit; and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did such a thing. When you are assembled in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus, you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.
Oh my dear sweet vlad.
If you hadn’t made an ad hominem AND a personal attack, your earlier rant wouldn’t have been deleted.
It’s something that NPCs do, and Christians shouldn’t.
Nice rant you’ve given there.
But you’re not arguing against me, you’re arguing against the Word of God.
“10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it. 11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty.”
So yeah, stealing a pen makes you just as guilty before God as murdering someone.
You’re not arguing against me; you’re arguing against God.
And all the ‘I hate Protestants with a hot hot hate’ ranting on FR won’t change that, vlad.
That's a difficult concept for Roman Catholics to understand. They seem to focus on just the "biggie" sins...and then only if they actually do them. They forget the thought aspect of sin.
One sin....I'd even say, the mere thought of stealing the pen, would be sufficient to deny you Heaven if you were trying to keep the Law.
Are there different consequences here on earth? Yes. You probably won't go to jail for stealing a pen from work.
However, you could be fired.

Well, I figured there might be some around. It’s been many years since I wore one, but, as I recall, I think it was made of wool, and was very uncomfortable against the skin. Don’t the Mormons have something similar to this?
It’s nothing more than witchcraft with a new coat of paint.
Try to force God to do something by performing the right rituals, wearing the right clothes, saying the right words.
Very definition of sorcery in the Bible.
I wonder how familiar Luther was with Dante Alighieri’s “Divine Comedy”? The epic poem was completed in 1320, so it was already a classic at the time Luther was alive.
What claim? That Luther was a terrible anti-Semite. That's not really a claim, it's an obvious fact.
Who are you saying has bias against Protestants? Anyone who points out the fact of Luther's anti-Semitism (say by reading or quoting his long book on the subject)?
You seem to want to turn criticism of a single individual into a team sport, where anyone who criticizes Luther is automatically a Protestant-hating Catholic. That's an unfortunate response, and not true.
One can point out that Luther was a terrible anti-Semite without being biased against all Protestants, past, present and future.
I think the important thing with any organization is that they admit the obvious failings of their founders and previous leaders and work to do better.
Lutherans, Catholics, Protestants and all Christians have a lot of work to do.
Pointing out that anti-Semitism was widespread in the Christian religion since early on, as you have, and naming those most responsible for it, is, I agree, a fair and even important task.
This article is a good stepping off place: Christianity and anti-Semitism.
The constant refrain on the FR religion forum from Catholics is that Luther was anti-Semitic, which coming from members of another religious group that was every bit as anti-Semitic, strikes many as hypocritical.
Those would be of great interest to me.
