"Remember Muslims want to take over this country and make Islam the only religion.
1. A Muslim will not have have an abortion themselves.
2. Muslims want infidels to have abortions because that will stop growth of non Muslims.
3. Their support for gay marriage has two underlining reasons.
First, the life span of homosexuals is getting shorter.
Second, If gays get the right to be married the next step will be for Muslims to have the right to have their four wives, according to their religious law.
Do you see the danger? Please, I beg you, make a moral and Godly choice when you vote. Obama has convinced so many that CHANGE is what is important. He doesn't say what that change will be or what the ramifications do to the country. The Muslims have already put a list of changes that they want Obama to make when he is president."

Documenting Obama's antichrist agenda
being at least as bad as McCain's...

Perhaps, my dear EA, your view of the situation is skewed a bit by your blind hatred and ignorance of what is evidently too high for your senses to grasp. All reasonable men know that less than 2% of all American Catholic priests had anything to do with the recent pedophile scandal, those priests that were accused of wrong-doing were removed from dealing with children, those found guilty went to jail, others were released from the priesthood. I say, if there is proof that a priest or a bishop is guilty...take them both to jail...today!!! The only voice defending sin is in your narrow mind. The notion that the RCC must read and understand Church disipline by Prot standards is ludicrous.

As long as the Anglicans insist on ordaining women, annointing female bishops and permitting active homosexuals into their clergy there can be no chance that the liberal wing of Anglicanism will be welcomed by Rome. Now, the conservative wing....that's a horse of a different color.

The pastor set 4 jars of cigerettes, alcohol, chocolate & common soil in which he had placed a worm in each. He announced that the worms had died in the first 3 jars but not in the clean soil. What do you think this says to us as Christians? A voice from the back statee, "IF we smoke, drink & eat chocolate, we won't have worms!!
People, without the insight of the Holy Spirit, cannot see the truth before them or in the scriptures.
The scriptures say: "And Judas hung himself." Elsewhere it says, "Go ye & do likewise." Perhaps the Episcopalians & Presbyterians have read these scriptures also...without the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

I have great confidence the Bible is Truth and that the Holy Spirit, Who is the Spirit of Truth, is quite capable of teaching us through it.
Jesus Himself gave us the promise that the one who abides in His word is truly His dsiciple indeed and that His disciple would know the Truth and the Truth would set him free.
That is probably why some Calvinists and some non-Calvinists get along as we are both growing in the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints we're just starting from different backgrounds (sometimes very different) when the Lord saved us and eventually in His presence we will have perfect agreement with each other.
Thanks for your comment I hope the Lord gives you a good 4th of July.

Thank you for your post back.
I will also concede that sadly many non-Calvinists are not Biblical either and just corrupt the Word of God in different ways. And I would agree that it is very important to define the words we use Biblically and not lessen nor go beyond what God Himself gives us of their meaning in the context of the whole of Scripture...or we will all be in error or worse heresy.
Anyway let me say this I know of several who would call themselves "Calvinists" (and happily some non-Calvinists too) who have a burden for the lost and intercede for them and do their best to preach Christ to them that God would bring them to repentance, genuine conversion, to salvation (I thank God for their witness of Christ
but they are different from some "devote Calvinists" (and sadly too many non-Calvinists too) who could seemingly care less if their very own family members die unrepentant and lost to stand guilty before God at the Great White Throne Judgment or even worse get offended if one even suggest we pray for their lost family.

Isn't that what some professing to be "Calvinists" have done for years.
To be honest God Himself through the writters of Scripture speaks of election and predestination HOWEVER the context of the whole of Scripture is far different than some 5 pointers make it out be.
Here is an example:
"Say to them: ‘As I live,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live."
The "Calvinism" of some portrays a very different god who doesn't care the least for the wicked even to predestinating them to hell. And I would have to think that since the "Calvinism" of some has given them an entirely different god that who God Himself reveals that He is in Scripture we cannot begin to discuss election and predestination.

Woe, if the bread is literally turned into flesh, and the wine is literally turned into blood, how can the Mass be an 'unbloody manner'? Is this not a contradiction?

Excuse me but it seems to me that is exactly what some calling themselves "Calvinists" have been doing for years and even worse twisting what God Himself says to us in Scripture as meaning something else. For example....
"For God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
to some calling themselves "Calvinists" the world doesn't really mean everybody to them does it.
or even going so far as to ridicule if not outright persecuting those who hold the very idea Christians can and should tell sinners

Michael Hranek wrote:
Dear Calvinists
.... if you think it is wrong to tell sinners that God loves them in the context of the cross and the shed blood of Christ and that they desperately need to repent and believe in Jesus Christ and be reconciled to God
...because you tell us that you believe God so hates them and that He has predestinated them to the eternal hell
Wouldn't it also be wrong to pray that Christians would love them??? (because the "God" you keep insisting that you believe in hates them)
Yes?
No? of course this would be hypocrital won't it to love them if God so hates them

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.

Seems that God wonderfully makes His will so clear you don't have to be a doctor, just a sinner who desperately wants to be saved, to understand it.

This is typical Black Liberation Theological "double speak". Consider the following statement from Dr. Jones "Assessment of Black Theology":
"Advocates of the religion of black power, for instance, appear to replace the Christian ontology of love with an ontology of powerism. In this connection, it is noteworthy that Joseph Washington, who makes the biblical model normative for black theology, concludes that Marx's concept of power is a necessary supplement to the biblical ontology."

Karl Marx did not deny the following accusation against communism, because this is the logical conclusion of it tenets:

". . .communism abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion, and all morality, instead of constituting them on a new basis; it therefore acts in contradiction to all past historical experience". The Communist Manifesto

These are scary days. It's good that people are against apostasy in the church, but nearly every denomination is declining. More and more people believe they don't need God; and those people will teach their children that they don't need God, or will simply never tell their children about God. The church may soon be a thing of the past.
