I remember in May we would crown statues of Mary w/flowers and sing her praises. We had our own church ceremony, then all the Cath would meet in ballpark for huge Mary crowning. Mama would set her statue of Mary up in LR and we'd have to pray the Rosary. | ||||||

The pope started out okay, then he told a lie and other "stuff" followed... too bad people believe the lie though. Date: 2001-11-25 Papal Address Before the Angelus "Paradoxical" Power of Christ Has No Place in Earthly Logic, Pope Says VATICAN CITY, NOV. 25, 2001 (Zenit.org).- Here is a translation of John Paul II´s address in St. Peter´s Square today, at the end of the canonization of four new saints and before the praying of the midday Angelus. * * * Dearest Brothers and Sisters! 1. This Sunday, the last of the liturgical year, the solemnity of Christ the King of the universe, is celebrated, and the Church invites us to contemplate the royalty of the Redeemer, which is reflected with particular eloquence in the lives of the saints. This morning, in St. Peter´s Basilica, I had the joy of proclaiming four new [saints]: Bishop Giuseppe Marello of Acqui, founder of the Congregation of Oblates of St. Joseph; and three consecrated virgins: Paula Montal Fornés of St. Joseph Calasanz, Leonie Françoise de Sales Aviat, and Maria Crescentia Höss. Their witness shows that the Crucified really "lives and reigns forever." Yes, he is "the living one," "the Lord," and he reigns in the lives of men and women of every place and time, who accept him freely and follow him faithfully. His Kingdom, a "kingdom of justice, love and peace" (Preface) will only be manifested, however, at the end of time. 2. Compared to the criteria of this world, the royalty of Jesus seems to be, so to speak, "paradoxical." In fact, the power that it exercises has no place in earthly logic. It is, on the contrary, the power of love and service, which requires the free gift of self and consistent witness to truth (John 18:37). For this reason, the Lord sacrificed himself as an "immaculate victim of peace on the altar of the Cross" (Preface), knowing that only thus could he rescue humanity, history and the cosmos from the slavery of sin and death. His resurrection attests that he is the victorious King, the "Lord" in heaven, on earth, and under the earth (see Philippians 2:10-11). 3. The creature who more than any other was associated with Christ was Mary, whom he himself crowned Queen of heaven and earth. The saints, whom the Church today presents to us for our veneration, looked to her as their constant model. We also look to her, so that she will help us to "reign" with Christ to build a world where peace "reigns." We must pray ceaselessly to obtain this great gift, which is peace, a gift of which humanity is in such great need. We will invoke it confidently, including with the two initiatives that I announced last Sunday: the day of fasting in December, and the January prayer meeting in Assisi with the representatives of the world´s religions. May Mary, Queen of Peace, intercede for us before her divine Son, immortal King and Lord of peace. [Translation by ZENIT] |

363 | Church Covenant itself a contradiction? | Eph 1:23 | Norrie | 32319 | ||
I'm sorry but I still think that "covenant" is no different than joining the Shriners or such, just rules to be in their exclusive little club-obey by our rules and guideslines or out you go! Reminds me too much of Pharisees. | ||||||
364 | Church "Covenant" unbiblical? | Eph 1:23 | Norrie | 32281 | ||
In my opinion, that sounds a little legalistic to me. I'm sure that if you wanted to join the Shriners, for instance, you'd have to agree to their rules and bylaws too. I joined a Baptist church, there was just a simple declaration of faith to join, not no you will dress this way...Of course my cousin married a Mormon, I remember his mom having to do an acct. to make sure they tithed the correct amount, it was checked on. I think people should tithe and dress properly but to have "police" checking on you, that doesn't seem quite right to me. But, then again, if people agree to abide by the rules...for example, I can't imagine why anybody would wear one of those silly looking Shriner hats, but ervidentally they line up to get in. :) | ||||||
365 | Judge for yourselves. | 1 Cor 2:15 | Norrie | 32277 | ||
I have a good article about judging agreeing w/what you have here but it's prob. way too long to copy. I get so sick of these athiests and perverts who always throw in your face "Judge not lest ye be judged". Duh! Seems we are told to judge practically everything. | ||||||

Question to Catholics. I just found a Cath Bible site. I read Ex 20 and the 10 Commandments are in there just like they are in every other Bible. I was raised Cath. I was taught the 10 commandments are 1. I am the Lord thy God, you shall have no other Gods before me. 2. Do not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. 3. Keep holy the sabbath day. 4. Honor thy mother and father. 5. Thou shall not kill. 6. Thou shall not commit adultery. 7. Thou shall not steal. 8. Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor. 9. Thou shall not covet they neighbor's wife. 10. Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's goods. Why do they leave out the graven image commandment and break the covet commandment in two? It's all right there in the Bible, why do they change it? |

Ed, I just copied this yesterday on another forum. It is from one of Pat Robertson's books answers questions on Bible: Q How can God send people who never heard of Christ to hell? A God does not send people to hell because they have never heard of Christ. He sends people to hell because they sinned. The judgment for sin will be in relationship to how much they knew. To phrase it another way, it is action in light of privledge. A person living in America has maximum spiritual privledge. Therefore the spiritual standard for America would be the gospel of Jesus and everything in the Old and New Testaments. But someone who grew up in an uncivilized jungle might be held to account for the fact that something in his conscience told him there was a creator worthy of his worship. The Bible says that his conscience will either accuse him or excuse him on the day of Jesus Christ. (Rom 2:14-16) God is not going to comdemn people if their own consciences excuse them. Regretfully, every human being has sinned against his or her own conscience. God does not judge people for failure to believe in Jesus but because they are sinners. The problem is that "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." (Rom 3:23) For those who have received Jesus Christ as Savior, there will be forgiveness and mercy. |

Thanks, Nolan, I've sent answers on. I tried to post earlier but kept getting this page cannot be displayed-drives me crazy (I know-short trip!)

I have been having a debate on another forum and need some facts about first Bible, which was it. Here is some dialog from discussion so if anybody has any help they can give me on what to say to this guy, feel free. 6.54 in reply to 6.47 Kate think as you will, that is your right. Fact there are hundreds more writings out there pretaining to God and Jesus. They were not cannonized by man. Then some was later taken away for expediency's sake. What is that all about? How does that not leave you with some doubt, was the first inspirations of Cannonization somehow wrong? Why is it the Catholic bible an earlier version a direct descendent from Peter , "the rock upon which my church shall be built" has a different set of Ten commandments than the KING JAMES VERSION? Who had the bible rewritten for political reasons despite what you have been told. Now the Jehovah , which is a false name , Witnesses are on their fourth bible. What the frell is their problem? Then you have all the rewrites of today into modern English so we can understand it. However if you take just the King James Version and compare meaning for meaning they are clouded. After so many rewrites how can each and every word of the bible be taken as inspired and which version is the inspired one and why. J.Robert Edwards. From: Norrie (NORRIEJ) Jan-15 10:48 am To: J. Robert Edwards (ROBJOTRNEW) (55 of 71) 6.55 in reply to 6.54 Eddie, the "Rock" that Jesus built His church wasn't Peter, it was the revelation that Jesus is the Son of God, He is who He claimed He was. From the time Satan beguiled Eve in garden, he has been trying to get man to turn from God and worship him. He does this by many means and one is perverting scripture. The reason the Cath have a different set of commandents is that they left out the graven images one because they have graven images coming out the wazoo. They just took the covet commandment and broke it into 2 to make it 10. That would be a good example of a perverted bible. 6.69 in reply to 6.55 Norrie your bible , I assume the King James version is as I quoted as to Peter. As to the other again the Catholic was the first bible so why is it wrong and yours right? I am not defending any bible, as such I am defending the inconsistences , and people thinking there's is the divine word of God , this is where all the wars come from. JRE. |

379 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | Norrie | 30407 | ||
I just happened to get this today and since it is the topic... CHRISTIANS AND THE ASSURANCE OF SALVATION Can Christians lose their salvation? Now that's an important question. Can I be sure that I'm really saved? Most Christians have probably had moments of doubt about their salvation. After all, we've all entertained thoughts and have committed acts that we knew were displeasing to God. We've all experienced that sense of remorse and sometimes questioned the reality of our salvation afterwards. Backsliding can no doubt cause such feelings to arise, and should hopefully move us to repentance (1 John 1:9). However, when it comes to the issue of eternal security, the Bible makes it absolutely clear that those who have been saved will never be lost. Jesus emphatically pointed this out in the Gospel of John when, in reference to believers, He said, "I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand..." (John 10:28). In this passage, Christ explicitly declared that no one who has received eternal life will ever lose it. Furthermore, in such passages as 2 Corinthians 1:22, and Ephesians 1:13, the apostle Paul indicated that the Holy Spirit acts as the very seal of God's ownership of the believer; He serves as the guarantee of our inheritance to come - namely, eternal life (John 5:24; 1 John 5:13). In describing our inheritance the apostle Peter used some very powerful words - words like "imperishable," "undefiled," and "unfading" (1 Pet. 1:5). With these words He underscored the everlasting assurance believers have with respect to God's gift of salvation. Now I know what you're asking: "What about the Christians who have completely abandoned their faith?" Well, judging by what we're told in Scripture we can only conclude that they were never saved from the start. You see, while "once saved, always saved" is true from God's perspective, man only looks at the outward appearance and thus cannot always accurately assess who is really saved in the first place. The question therefore is not whether someone lost their salvation, but whether they had ever had it at all. As Romans chapter eight says, "there is nothing that can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (v. 38-29). He is the very source of our salvation. And remember, eternal life that comes to the believer through faith in Christ is not life for two weeks, two months, or even two years; eternal life is everlasting life. It begins at the moment of conversion and stretches on through the eons of time. CRI, P.O. Box 7000, Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 92688 Phone (949) 858-6100 and Fax (949) 858-6111 |
