Dem. Cons.- If you want to back a man who is for homosexuality and abortion, both of which God's word opposes, so be it. To jeopardize and compromise God's word for personal preference is not surprising in this day and age. Neither candidate is conservative, I do not endorse either one. You should not read more into my posts than what I've written. Why is it you link everything back to the Vatican? Are you AVA? Your comments are extremely hateful, and hard to understand. You rant about things that most would find confusing, to say the least. To follow Christ is to humbly think of others as better than yourself, not lash out at them and say 'they are the worst person to listen to'. That is your opinion, and should be kept to yourself. If you want to vote for Obams, that is your choice. If you vote for McCain, again, that is your choice. My point was simple, but you seemed to have missed it. I simply pointed out both men are NOT born again Christians. Please, refrain from adding your meaning to what I've posted. |

Again, read this scripture, "For by GRACE you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the GIFT of God. Not of WORKS, lest any man should boast". Eph. 2:8,9. Yes, faith w/o works is dead, however, to claim your works are what grant you entrance into heaven is just like the self-righteousness of the Sadducees and the Pharisees. The works a born again believer do are the result of a regenerated heart. No amount of sacred tradition, or continual repetitious acts will qualify one for eternal life. The HEART must be changed, and love Christ above all, even over church doctrine and sacred tradition. No amount of loyalty to any denomination will grant entrance either, to trust in man and their interpretation of the scriptures is what opens the door to heresy. This cannot be understood unless God grants it, may He open the eyes and ears of all who are blinded by man's religion. |

djc, again, read the entire transcript by Dr. MacArthur, he has done the research on the hebrew greek meanings of wine and new wine, this does clarify the drinking of wine by the Lord, however the wine He drank was NOT fermented. The level of alcohol content in today's wine is significant, the transcript by Dr. MacArthur brings to light all these facts, statistics, and more. I highly recommend this read, he has researched the subject in depth, and, as usual, clarifies a much debated subject.
We are called to be holy, and I just cannot piece together alcohol and holiness in a believer's life, it seems to be a great contradiction. How could the bible warn against strong drink, then turn around and condone it? It would then make scripture contradictory, which it isn't.
The alcohol content in today's drink is the key factor here, the difference between biblical wine and today's concoction is the whole key of Dr. MacArthur's transcript. This is the point that many overlook, the wine Christ drank was not fermented and did not cause Him to be dull in His senses, so by comparison, is not the same as today's much stronger drink.
God bless you DJC, and Micheal, let's not forget to proclaim the gospel first and foremost to the lost. |

My reference to the fruit of the vine was made to point out that the wine Jesus referred to was not intoxicating drink, but rather, fruit of the vine, the juice of that fruit.
Alcohol is a drug; let's ask this, is it okay to smoke pot, crack, crystal meth, shoot up heroin, smoke cigarettes, etc. as long as it is done in moderation? What if a weak believer, or an unbeliever would see 'Joe Christian' having a glass of wine at a restuarant with his meal,think 'it's okay to drink', partake in strong drink, then in turn, become addicted?
I personally prefer to not drink any type of alcohol, whether in moderation or not. The bible strongly speaks out AGAINST strong drink; that tells me I'd better be wary. Why even try and defend alcohol, when so many lives are ruined and lost because of it's powerful hold?
Just because the bible doesn't specifically say, 'don't do it' doesn't mean it is condoned. Common sense and the conscience comes into play here, for those who like to drink, that's a personal choice. I prefer not to love the world or anything that comes from this world, and strong drink is from this world, this is my personal belief. For those who disagree, so be it. |

Friend, to your comment, I say AMEN.This verse is of importance, "For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes" Luke 22:18
This is a reference to offspring, what was brought forth on the vine, the fruit, thus, it's juice. This obviously was not fermented drink. Why do so many insist the bible contradicts? If God speaks out against drinking wine, which He does repeatedly, for example, Isaiah 5:22, "Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine, and champions at mixing drinks", then how could He possibly ever condone it? |

GG, you hit it on the head with your statement, 'my God', that's it in a nutshell! Your god is not the God of the bible, your god is a god of tradition, produced by man-made works, sacraments, repetitious prayer, idol worship...your god is a graven image, a false god, which cannot save you. You have no understanding, because you refuse to repent and place your faith in Christ ALONE, no church doctrine, no set of rules made by any council of Trent, just the simple gospel message...repent and believe. You stumble over the the simplicity of the gospel, clinging to works, rituals, tradition; all of which are an abomination to the Lord. Again, I pray diligently God will grant you salvation, humbling you and drawing you to Jesus Christ, and give you a new heart and a new spirit. Oh Lord God, please work in a mighty way in the heart of GG, Lance, John Yurich, and all who follow the false teachings of this church. The deception is powerful, but you are more powerful. Have mercy and pour out your grace on these lost souls. Open blind eyes, deaf ears, and soften hardened hearts. You alone save, You alone change a sinner from the inside out. I ask you to grant eternal life to these lost in sin and this deception in the name above all names, Jesus Christ. |

Lance, your statement, 'in this way the full number of the gentiles is being brought in'-only Jesus Christ adds to His true church, which consists of people from every part of the globe, from all walks of life, and various religious backgrounds. He alone changes hearts and renews minds, He humbles, and brings to Him all that the Father gives to Him. This is nothing more than a headcount, sadly, the souls of these people still remain in bondage to sin, and the hearts are still hardened and dead to the fact of true salvation; when God humbles a sinner and breaks them over their sins, then they cry out to Him for salvation. Inside, the heart shatters; tears flow out of the heart for mercy to be granted, and the broken sinner humbly asks Jesus Christ to save them. The new birth is granted as the new creation in Christ now is cleansed by His blood, by God's grace, and is sealed with the Holy Spirit, within their very own heart now resides the Father, Son, and Spirit. Inward changes take place, sin is detested, hunger for God's word consumes the soul, and pleasing Jesus Christ is a lifelong passion. This is salvation Lance, according to the holy word of God, all granted by Him through Jesus Christ, it is a gift from the Ancient of Days. |

GG- You need to be careful, accusing someone of something when you have absolutely NO proof, you don't even know what church I attend! I am not loyal to ANY denomination; you, on the other hand, consistently defend your apostate church, and the man-made doctrine you adhere to. I follow Jesus Christ, the word of God, and His will according to His word ALONE. By His grace, I have been born again, not according to works, but His saving grace.
If RCC'rs were that outraged over homosexual priests, they would remove them from the church, not pay out monetarily for their perversion.
I don't see where SA is responsible for the news as it breaks. If anyone is to blame, it is the RCC, for not dealing with these homosexual priests according to scripture, thus, allowing sin to fester and grow, like a cancer. |
