Thanks Michael. I have enjoyed your comments as well.
It is quite apparent that the Calvinism of today is nothing like the Calvinism of yesterday.

O K, So you have sucessfully drawn me into an argument with your snide remark and have shown in you last comment that you are driven by emotionalism. Just answer the..

19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was dark

I fail to understand why a group of believers would insist on identifying themselves with the work of a particular man. Calvin himself did not endorse, in full, the five point Calvinism of today.If you are truly a Christian identify yourself as a Christian. This staunch labeling seems to be a matter of pride. Paul instructed the church not label themselves after any man when saying "I am glad I did not baptize any of you" . We are to identify with the God/ Man Jesus, any thing else is a cult following. Do not place a mere man where Christ belongs. Believe me if John Calvin is looking down from heaven he is not saying "WOW isn't it great I have so many followers." No he is bowing humbly before a Holy God as the rest of us who believed on His name.

The reality is, I believe it, but I don't believe it necessarily literally true in every single respect," said former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who is Catholic.

20Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,

21(Touch not; taste not; handle not;

22Which all are to perish with the using after the commandments and doctrines of men

SA program picked up the punctuation from the copy pretty cool

Good one, Im still laughing

"We were amazed," she said, noting that the discovery was made at a time when many scholars argued that the wall did not exist.

"This was a great surprise. It was something we didn't plan," Mazar said.

However, another scholar doubted whether the wall was biblical

Something in the Bible about not many

Talk to a savvy evangelical pastor these days, and he (yes, he probably will be a “he”) might sound a lot like a marketing executive. Todd Wilson, the “Executive Pastor” at New Life, a dynamic multi-site church in Northern Virginia, told ReligionWriter, reporting for a 2005 Washington Examiner story, that walking into a church should be a “multi-sensory experience, like walking into a Starbucks

Like walking into a gay promoting
company like starbucks.

but its ok for this man to call himself
a Pastor, and his building a church,
but then, even the demons believe
and tremble

Enough already!

or is that like

Jes-s Sav-s

must not be, because

Jesus Saves is Jesus Saves

maybe you may have the same god that
some muslems have, ? or some "christians
have ? don't know how either, but this group calling themselves the only church of christians has a leader, calling himself the Vicar of
Christ, says they have the same god
as the muslems, do you think thats true?

Shlomo, have you ever heard the Gospel
of Jesus Christ, if so, do you have any
questions? If you have not heard, I find
amazing being on this comment site, Ill get you started,

Thou shall have no other Gods before Me.

Repent, and believe

terry,(edit) well not terry, believe Jesus
and all the Word of God says about Him.

Thats what the scriptures are about,
Jesus, not us.

The debate between true Christians and Catholics will never end will it?
...... Stop wasting time with those who won't listen and talk to those who will. This is exactly what these Romanist's intentions are- to bring frustration, confusion, and division to wear down God's people.

The only thing I could add is, the Bible
warns about and how to deal with, the blind, the lost, those that are against us. Nowhere does it state its all up to
you, only you can convert this heathen,
I do recall something about some plant
some water, never read you will do it all, so don't give up, prove how right
YOU are. Sorry you can't pick and choose what verse is your life's calling
Gods Glory is your calling. The entire Word must be followed, is anyone perfect
NO, stick to the Gospel, when preaching
the Gospel, adding your opinion, what
verse is that?

After so long, it may be the romanists
intention to bring frustration, confusion, and division, but the the
christian, who loves the taste of milk
will do the same.
Grow, christian, God is way to big to
get bogged down on something you think
is your calling
The Bible says

repent, believe, and be baptised.

"I wonder who Rick Warren will NOT let speak from his pulpit?"

God told him on the Thanksgiving holiday last week that he should resign the next day, Richard Roberts told students in the university's chapel Wednesday.

"Every ounce of my flesh said 'no'" to the idea, Roberts said, but he prayed over the decision with his wife and his father, Oral Roberts, the school's founder, and decided to step down.

his god told him on the thangsgiving
holiday

man, talk about ironic

God told me the same thing a while ago

Mart Green, founder of the Christian office and educational supply store chain Mardel, said Tuesday he would immediately give $8 million to the university, with the rest to come after a 60-to-90-day review of the university's financial records.

Green said his family must approve the financial review before the $62 million is given and is requesting at least two seats on the board of regents for his family members.

will they take the money for sunday

man, may your money perish with you

HOLY FATHER, My Bible says call no man
Father, I think we can all agree that
the word Father is spiritual in nature
Something about how can you learn spiritual things...Who is head of church, ?

SA is lets say not catholic freindly,
there are no (none that I found anyway)
sermons in support of the rcc.
Are you here to convert, rebuke, or
battle with your flesh?

And those who only seem to know that
catholics are demons and must be stopped at all cost, thats like the
law, and grace, to much either way and
its a perversion of Gods Word.
Someone in the Bible said there should be no division among you, something about One Spirit, that means there IS
more than ONE. most stop by and comment

I agree with you for the most part
discernment, I think most churches
discourage that gift as judging, you know, its all about love.

CCm, yea, if you use it as a learning
tool, your going down a wide path thats
for sure. ? when Im at work, I try to put on a CCM station, most will tolerate
it, because I agree alot of it is wordly
Do you think its still better than a rock, or rap, or c and w station?
or does a little leven, you know?
As far as its use in worship at church,
again discernment, must be vertical
(Christ centered) Pastors must use
discernment, its a gift, one that would
make being a christian very easy without, I mean sometimes it makes me question myself.

Christians can't find a church home without compromise, Amen
? is, is there a way out or do you think its Gods Will?

And yes the invite Jesus into your
heart crowd, intelectual christians?
Again is it written this will happen.
