Christianity
[edit]- Britain needs to find her Christian identity again. If this means abandoning the Church of England, which is marrying gay priests and ordaining women, then so be it. I never imagined a respectable Community to fall to such levels.
- Christianity is not about screaming your head off that the Catholic Church is evil. Look at your spec before condemning your brother. The last time I checked, we Catholic Christians do not worship the Devil, images, the Saints, Mary mother of God - only God we worship.
- Iconoclasm is the worst piece of crap - how do you explain the angels atop the ark of the covenant?
- Every aspect of the Catholic Church that is condemned has been drawn from the Bible. Therefore, you condemn what the Bible says.
- The Bible cannot be the sole source of authority - even the Bible does not mention itself as authority. Many times there are sayings of "the Church", "the community" and the Apostles themselves. Don't forget, the Apostles wrote the Bible, The Church wrote the Bible. I bet you forgot that one...
- None-denominational means you haven't thought about God enough. From what point of view will you read the Bible? The correct way? And what will help you find the correct way? You? How about from the Apostolic point of view?
- Churches built on sand - that try to attract people by rock music, free gas tokens , offers of jobs, green cards to other countries = shame on you, shame on you. For did not St Paul of Tarsus spit on the money and the man who offered it for the Holy Spirit? There is only one way to follow God, and if you are bored of listening to a man of God read from God's words in the Bible, I tell you God will be bored of you in judgment day, just as he is ashamed of those who are ashamed of him.
- Yet despite all of the above truths, I ask only that you respect and not curse me and my Catholic Church of 1.1 billion. How foolish some people are saying that we will go to hell - why? I am not saying that we will go to heaven, but surely worshiping Christ, praising him - this will lead us to hell? Really? I aks you stop insulting God's Church not because I could do without the illogical arguments, but because I want you to be in peace so I can love you as my brother and sister in Christ.
Middle East
[edit]- I challenge those who are persecuting Christians to stop. I ask that they live in peace with my brothers and sisters. This is not fair. No Muslim in the West may fear for their life as much as a Christian does in northern Iraq, or the few Jews or Yazidine left remaining. You know what, the Yazidines are non-believers to me. Why should I kill them? They don't harm me. True love for God is not killing those appear to insult God, for you are denying forever their chance to convert willing, which is the only conversion allowed. For if you enslave God's property, you are taking what is not yours. You are killing what is not yours. God is not about death, violence or any of that sort. He is a God of love, peace and goodness. He is the form of Love, Peace and goodness. God does not like violence. If God could hate something, he would hate hate itself. That is the only way God can be all good and all loving. So when you kill, and take God's property, you are stealing from God, for we are made by God, and only the master may decide what to do with his property.
- Forced conversions are pathetic; belief is in the heart of a human, not in the sword of the oppressor.
- Chaldeans and Assyrians are the indigenous people of Iraq; they face extinction in those areas. We continue to be sold for 30 pieces of silver by our pseudo-allies.
- The word of God can never be spread by violence. Hatred breeds hatred.
