Abba Poemen said: 'Teach your heart to follow what your tongue is saying to others.' He also said, 'Men try to appear excellent in preaching but they are less excellent in practising what they preach.' ***
Now I know these churches are generally independent, but if they claim to be Evangelical, ya think the other Evangelicals would speak loudly against the planned action of their fellow brother, as well as be doing some back door pressing on the non-Christian behavior he was leading his congregation to do ... ya think ... but then again, perhaps those behind the door chats took place to no-avail ...
I can't believe the extent of the hoo-ha over the whole thing. Even the Vatican weighing in?? How goofy is that?
I've haven't seen this much attention paid to Christians getting their heads lopped off. Or the fact that in many Muslim countries they'll kill you for even having a Bible.
It does, however, point out how nuts Muslims are. Christians don't generally threaten death to Bible burners.
No - this is all about keeping the peons worked up and distracted. One news story after another. On and on. All the faux outrage. Do you really believe Hillary Clinton or Eric Holder gives a good gosh darn whether this idiot burns a Koran?
Hot damn - I can't wait to see the news crews lined up to bring us live coverage of the burning. Get the popcorn.
Why this could even be a great lead in for that war the puppet masters are itching to start.
I'm with Adrienne on this. Start widely publizicing the suffering and maryterdom of Christians in Musilim and Communistic nations and then we'll talk. This shouldn't even be news.

The Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue is doing it's job, Adrienne. In its public statement the council didn't mince words, either.
The council statement called the planned burning "outrageous and grave." It said that, "every religion has the right to expect that its sacred books, places of worship and symbols will be respected and protected."

When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf Heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featur'd like him, like him with friends possess'd,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least:
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee,--and then my state
(Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings'. - Sonnet 29
O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to you and for those who do not, especially the enemies of the Church and those recommended to you.
Holy Name of Jesus
Arise O Lord and let your enemies be scattered, and let those that hate you flee before you!"
Welcome to the original Abbey-Roads!
What a dump!

I'm against it!
Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.
Show us your face and we shall be saved. "Each soul is the object of My special love. That is why I am so grateful to those who are resourceful and bringing back sinners to Me. Keep this in mind then. I gave My life for them in the most atrocious torture, for these poor beloved ones. A humble repentance, and they are already on My heart. So speak gently to them. Speak with tenderness. A brusque remark could drive them farther away." - He and I

ReplyDeleteNot exactly "And the harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace." is it?

@Adrienne point taken but I guess it's something along the line of two wrongs don't make a right?

Very nuts.
ReplyDeleteSeriously people - this guy is a total flake. He's as bad as Obama's minister in Chicago - no, not Farrakan - the other one.

That is not "goofy."
