I think global climate change is real, is happening---in that it is cyclical. The earth's temperature is always in motion and right now it's going up a few hundreds of a degree Celcius. Before that it was trending downward. I don't think we are "causing" global warming or global cooling. It's over-the-top media hype just as years ago, was so called "acid rain" and after that the " ozone hole". You say that we should do som
Thank you Texas Wahine for the info about using the quote function. I do not seem to have that quote feature on this particular format. I would like to point out that ever since 1973, abortion has been a long battle of words and rhetoric. Our friendly discussion is a case in point. For example, parental notification laws cite the health of the woman, while in actuality they are dealing with not women, but minor age girls. Notice
LULAPILGRIM POSTS: Scripture tells us clearly that Jesus established a kingdom on earth--the Church with a hierarchy, and the authority to speak for Him KFC POSTED on Jan. 15 nope, don't believe this, but we've been thru this before so I won't repeat myself... . "My kingdom is no part of this world" takes care of that idea. There are 2 kingdoms of God.
I've never once heard or read of an abortion that was a medical necessity for the health of the woman. TEXAS WAHINE POSTS: Don't read or listen much, do ya? Let me repeat it, this time in an other way. I've never heard or read of any case where an abortion was performed because the mother's health was in jeopardy due to the pregnancy. In most cases, abortions are performed because (for a myriad of reasons) the baby is an incon
BAKERSTREET POSTS: So I think that anyone who votes for Republicans on moral issues is putting their water in a leaky vessel. I don't support Dems, either, but I can't live with the lie that a vote for Republicans is somehow a vote against gay marriage or abortion. It's neither. On this, I agree Bakerstreet. I always thought the Partys' platform meant a lot, but evidently it doesn't. I don't vote the political party and never have. My standa
KFC------Thank you for making these very good points demonstrating there is no consistancy from both the political and medical interests of minor age girls. LOCAMAMA POSTS: The issue with the Colorado parental notification law is that there was no provision if the abortion was an emergency medical necessity for the health of the woman and there wasn't an alternative to parental notification for girls who thought that they would be abused o
KFC POSTED on Feb. 9: They also were a spiritual people and still are, not a belief in Christ but a strong belief in Jehovah God of the OT. Concerning “JEHOVAH God of the OT” ........ The Douay Rheims Bible has no such word, “Jehovah” in either the OT or in the NT. I had to go to a Protestant Bible to find it --------Exodus 6:3; Psalms. 83:18; and Isaias.12:2; 26:4. Douay Rheims Exodus 6:2-4, “And the Lord spoke to
LULAPILGRIM POSTED: Christianity is Judaism fulfilled. Christ said He came to fulfill the Law. KFC RESPONDED on Feb. 9: No Christianity is not Jusaism fulfilled. Where are you getting that from? Yes, Christ did say he came to fulfill the law. But he did not come to replace the Jews. Big diff The Jewish religion of the OT and practiced at the time of Christ was essentially a prepatory religion meant by its very nature
LULAPILGRIM ASKS KFC: And for that matter, aren’t Protestants more closely aligned with the Sadducces with their “free thinking”, I.e. picking and choosing which of Christ’s Biblically revealed doctrines to accept or reject. KFC RESPONDS: you've got that wrong Lula. I can tell you I accept them all. It's the CC church that does not. That's why their tradition usurps written scripture anytime there's a controversy. LULAPILGRIM POSTS
KFC POSTS on Feb. 9: His church is not man-made. Religion is. The CC is a religion. I agree with your first statement that His church is not man-made. We know this because written Revelation (the Bible) clearly shows that Christ established “His Church”. “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock, I will build “My Church”.St.Matt.16:18. From this, we can surely say that His church is not man-made. From this passage, we see that Chr
KFC, earlier, I asked that you admit that there is no “one faith” and no “one baptism”, as Eph.4:4-5 describes, within Protestantism with all its thousands of Protestant churches each with their own set of theology. To which you posted: KFC POSTED on Feb. 9: Lula, the ONE faith and the ONE baptism is this.....ONE FAITH....we as united Christians believe in CHRIST. That's the one faith. Our faith is in him. Our faith is only as good as the obje
Do you really think the Bible translates itself? KFC POSTS: Absolutely. He was pretty clear. He wasn't talking about the physical. That's why he asked what if you shall see me leave and ascend? He was saying....no, it's not physical. I'll be leaving. I'm leaving you with a spiritual truth. The physical or literal meaning of the words was plainly ruled out. So next you have to go to the spiritual meaning. I don't need to write pages to back t

KFC POSTS: gah!!! You're easy on her. Com'on admit it. Hey, I shouldn't even say this. I actually like Lula. I just think she's in very deep and her ladder's on the wrong wall..... And you? I think your ladder is in mid air, not hanging onto anything. Really, KFC, on Bakerstreet. Not hanging onto anything? Yikes!!! JU could be an admiration society, because I like you too KFC. And, I don't think Protestants are ick
BAKERSTREET asks---- Do you really think the Bible translates itself? and KFC replies-----Absolutely. it does, but if you don't wish to use it in context, or use selective scripture than you can make it into whatever you wish it to be. That's why we have so many diff groups out there. Hello everyone out there, good discussion going here; I think I’ll join in the fun. The Bible does not interpret or translate itself. Th
KFC POSTS: The diff between the Protestant (there you go again) and the CC is that the Protestant doesn't go by tradition as a rule. At least not the fundamental evangelicals. Their belief is based on biblical doctrine...sola scriptora. Perhaps you've heard of it? all scripture is God breathed...you know the verse in Timothy? That's the famous one. I'm sure you're familiar with it. Also if you read Colossians you see Paul pleading with them no
KFC POSTS: The diff between the Protestant (there you go again) and the CC is that the Protestant doesn't go by tradition as a rule. At least not the fundamental evangelicals. Their belief is based on biblical doctrine...sola scriptora. Perhaps you've heard of it? Catholic belief (Deposit of Faith) is based on written revelation (Sacred Scripture) and on Christ's oral teachings (Apostolic Tradition). Catholic theology rests on the litera
KFC POSTS: For by grace are you saved thru faith; and not of yourselves; it is the gift of God; Not of works lest any man should boast." I totally agree that salvation is the work of God, a gratuitous gift that originates with God's Infinite mercy. It acts in man by faith, that is man's acceptance of the salvation offered him in Jesus. But, even faith is a divine gift that man cannot merit (work for; earn) on his own . Now, let's
KFC POSTS: I am a truth seeker no matter where it leads me . It's not opinion I'm after, mine or anybody else's when it comes to the truth. I just want the truth above all. KFC POSTS: I believe that Jesus is not only the solution...he's the truth and I don't say that lightly. To believe otherwise we'd have to call him a liar. KFC POSTS: Jesus always used common things to teach a literal truth so I'd disagree here. He used common ev
BAKERSTREET POSTS: So, is there the smallest chance that "the church" may be made up of a LOT of people from diverse beliefs, but who share a commonality? Do our distinctions define the church FOR God, or does God define the church? Q1--Yes, "the church" in the situation you are decribing is Protestant in nature. According to dogmatic decree of Protestant oral tradition (POT), the definition of "Church" is all believers in every church (
BAKERSTREET POSTS:I think the biblical description of Satan implies that he has no power unless GOD gives it to him. God created the angels before man. He gave them free will to love and obey Him. Lucifer's own vanity and pride got him thrown out of Heaven. Satan doesn't have "power". This is the wrong word to use. God didn't give Satan his evilness either, but allows him to prowl around the earth looking for souls to destroy. Man h
Reply By: KFC (Kickin For Christ) Posted: Thursday, February 08, 2007 A perfect environment wouldn't have satan in it, would it? Satan is harmless if we don't mess with him. He has no power over me or you unless we let him. You've heard this: "Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world." or how about this: "Resist the devil and he will flee." Was that done by Eve -----------------------
BAKERSTREET POSTS: The fact is the Bible states plainly that the garden had the devil in it. No one can say it was perfect. God created expressly a garden that is known as Paradise. There was sublime happiness, tranquility, etc. No death, no violence, but perfect harmony between God and man, man and animal and man with one another. From this standpoint, it was the most 'perfect" place on earth located in Asia between the two great rivers. The
KFC POSTS on Feb.6 How did I arrive at the conclusion that Christ's Church must be a unified-----not a segmented ,many churches--body? I correlated those texts above with these: "there shall be one fold and one shepherd" St. John 10:16. "And the glory that thou, Father, has given me, I have given to them, that they may be one, even as we are one." 17:22. "You are called in one body...one spirit....one hope...one Lord....one faith...one baptism"
KFC POSTS on Feb.3: I agree with what you're saying as far as the church not being buildings; and that there is only one faith given and taught by Jesus. Absoulutely. The diff is I don't see anywhere in scripture including Peter's own writings that lends itself to an earthly kingdom or religion set up here on earth. Eph. 4:5 “ There is one body, and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call, one Lord, one
