Surprised we are getting so many down-votes here...I'm with you pede
Right...as none of us ever are. We will never be perfect but we still continue to run the race. But relying on some to intercede for you when we can simply pray makes no sense to me a long with all the ritual, power structure etc.
There are good Catholics out there; but again the foundation of Catholicism in my opinion is in direct conflict with what is actually in His word.
Our final authority on all matters must always be the Bible; not man's interpretation of what it says or personal beliefs.
100% look at Mar Mari Emmanuel as well as Vigano. The pope is all about power and control & everything else that is in direct contradiction of what the church should stand for. Amen
Synagogue of Satan...while I do believe there are saved Catholics out there I do believe the Catholic Church as a whole are wolves in Sheep's clothing (for many reasons which would be an entire thread). Their sole purpose is to distort the truth and misguide believers from the true path. There are still good men and women but the teachings of the Catholic Church are not in line with what is presented in His word.
Amen! Children are a gift from God; we had a similar path as you and its such a blessing to shepard them!
Just like the healthy cook that mysteriously drowned or infamous Clinton body count; nothing to see here folks.
Amen, many posts on here alluding to this very phenomena. Brother I will pray for you; now more than ever get into His word. What you are realizing is this world fades away and what comes after remains for eternity. I do believe the great awakening is about finally seeing the world for what it is.
I pray that God opens your heart to receive him. When I first was saved I would describe it as an unquenchable thirst to know more about my creator. When I read the Bible it came to life for me; it started to make sense. I think of 1st Corinthians 3:19 and 1st Corinthians 2:14.
But my advice, start in Genesis. Read a little bit each day; if it is His will a whole new world will become alive to you.
Amen! God will not be mocked
Right on the money. Something Ironic, my courthouse parking garage is literally located at 666 court street. They couldn't have went 664 or 668? Nope 666...symbolism will be their downfall. They don't hide what they are, or what they stand for.
Showed this to my wife and said its a women...would be one ugly women. Drag queen to me; once I pointed it out she saw it too.
Superbowl; Olympics, Devil throwing out pitch for Dodgers during pride month. Symbolism will be their downfall.
Why is pride such an egregious sin to God? Because it was pride which caused Satin to fall from heaven; I don't think we always see the significance and how much an abomination this all is to God.
God will not be mocked...and yet they throw this in our faces. Hebrews 10:31
45-47; still in charge; could have said 45, 47.
Maybe a nothing burger but details Matter.
Glad he is ok and has been released
Praying that to be the case....will be interesting to see if MOASS occurs. You have to wonder how manipulated the market is. Are we expect these cheats to play by the rules and allow MOASS to unfold as it should?
I hope so; I hope their is no other recourse for them, but I am wary of the manipulation and that that's coming from someone with skin in the game. In the end the truth will be exposed.
Amen to that
Shall we play a game...
Tikki Masala is pretty good...
Same playbook every time
But did anyone truly uphold the law? Only one did and that was Jesus Christ. Yes Enoch was taken up to heaven but no man is without sin since the orginal fall. We are all guilty of love the Lord with all your heart, all your soul and all your might (Duet 6:5) We are no longer bound by the law; but does that mean we stop running the race? By no means; we run the race till our last breath knowing our works do not save us but Christ's actions on the cross and his grace alone.
What does God care about money. Would it not be more important to honor a vow before Him than to worry about money.
That very quote still says render to Ceaser what is his. Mankind is corrupt; laws are corrupt. But in this world we still must honor authority. Romans 13:1-7 covers this. God has appointed those in positions of power into these positions; therefore who are we to go against His will?
I do recognize others may not see it the same; brings up many questions like are we able to rebel against a tyrannical government (In this case ridiculous laws; speeding, medical bills etc). I have heard some compelling arguments for both sides. A local gentleman who I admire very much wrote a book on this supporting what you are stating. I would give his name but could Dox me.
Either way I appreciate the dialogue here and I respectfully disagree as this is a Tier 1 issue for me. But I of course do see your argument my interpretation of the scripture is different. Either way glad to have another brother (or sister) in Christ on the same team as we fight the good fight in this fallen world.
I'm not sure it's quite that simple. In that context the OT was used to prove that man could never uphold to the law. Time and time again man falls short. We are no longer bound by the law. He was merely pointing out that Moses had allowed it because their hearts were hardened; but that was never the intention. Again this is the theme repeated over and over all throughout OT.
While there are many verses on it; it is definitely frowned upon. All I am stating is if money is the main motivator no matter how much it is (200k plus here) I don't see how that would be justifiable. Matthew 19:8-9 pretty clear on this.
Matthew 5:31-32 states that anyone who divorces (except for sexual immorality) makes her an adulteress.
Marriage is a core theme in the Bible; we are the bride of Christ. Each will feel their own conviction but again I would have a hard time justifying divorce for money no matter what the cost. Think of the parable of the rich man Matthew 19:16-30. What is more important here? Your vows before God, or saving 200k? When you put it in that light I think you have your answer.
I would rather be wrong and err on the side of caution, then fall into the Hands of the Living God Hebrews 10:31
She's just trying to save her own political career...she knows the battle is lost and is selfishly appealing to popular opinion. She knows nodoby they put out at this point has a chance. So why garner some favor
Agreed, dissolved in Man's world but appears still intact in God's. I imagine God could interpret this way but would really have to dig into the scriptures. Still the conviction of choosing money over marriage still is there (I know let the down-votes begin). Think of the rich man...I"m not sure if the appropriate thing before God's eyes would be to eat the bill and uphold the sanctity of marriage?
Tough one b/c the Bible is pretty clear about divorce but I"m just not sure of the context here.
Right...I was conflicted about that at first b/c I do not believe in divorce. However, it appears the civil union portion of man's court has been dissolved.
I'm still a bit unclear as to my thoughts on this but completely understand their perspective. I'm assuming their union between God is still intact and I don't fault them for attempting to take it to the corrupt system.
Wow....going big. This man is strong!
