07 trending toward Rampant cultural / sexual perversion

For even though they knew (about) God .. they did not honor him as God or give thanks .. but they became futile in their speculations .. and their foolish heart was darkened .. professing to be wise .. they became fools .. and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures .. therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity .. so that their bodies would be dishonored among them .. for they exchanged the truth of God for a lie .. and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator .. who is blessed forever . . . amen .. for this reason God gave them over to degrading passions .. for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural .. and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another .. men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error .. and just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer .. God gave them over to a depraved mind .. to do those things which are not proper .. being filled with all unrighteousness .. wickedness .. greed .. evil .. full of envy .. murder .. strife .. deceit .. malice .. they are gossips .. slanderers .. haters of God .. insolent .. arrogant .. boastful .. inventors of evil .. disobedient to parents .. without understanding .. untrustworthy .. unloving .. unmerciful .. and although they know the ordinance of God .. that those who practice such things are worthy of death .. they not only do the same .. but also give hearty approval to those who practice them .....  <><  <><

FOR THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE HAS BECOME DULL,
AND WITH THEIR EARS THEY SCARCELY HEAR,
AND THEY HAVE CLOSED THEIR EYES;
OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT SEE WITH THEIR EYES,
AND HEAR WITH THEIR EARS,
AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART AND RETURN,
AND I WOULD HEAL THEM."'

Acts 28:27

Profound scripture.

Testimony, more likely than not, comes from the mouths and hearts of believers. I just heard a pastor of nearly fifty years testify to a moving experience. It was almost
like a death bed vision, though he is in perfect health. There wasn't a dry eye in the house by the time he had finished. One bonus was a wonderful testimony to his wife and family, some of whom were in the house. This kind if thing happens a lot.

My point is, the majority of convincing experiences come to those who commit and seek, not to those who are suddenly struck, walking down the road. So, what are non believers to make of all this? Really, they can't make much of it.  How come we cannot simply not bother? That's really what they want.

Our Sunday message began with the announcement that the Scriptures are NOT politically correct....... nor was Jesus Christ.

Not that we didn't all already know that, but it was a poignant reminder to the things that set us apart from the world.  We see and hear the words given to us by God.  The world does not, and cannot.

Therefore the chasm between the believers and the world will grow increasingly wide.

The persecution will increase.

Yes, it reads, "The heart of this people has become dull."

That indicates that at one time, the people had open and joyous hearts. That does not mean they were once Christians, by any means. What it does say, though, for one reason or another the people's hearts have "grown" dull.

Not the natural state. Satanic? Maybe. Or, maybe just plain old human nature at times when the King was a jerk.

Is that a picture of the Pope I see on your website, insinuating that Catholicism is a "false religion"?

I have my share of problems with the RCC, but it may interest you to know that the RCC is doing everything it can to maintain the sanctity of marriage in this generation, despite what the U.S. Supreme Court says. It is also trying to beat back the plague of abortion in America and around the world.

It may also interest you to know that your apparent theology, known as "dispensationalism", is in fact a false doctrine, invented in the 1800's by John Nelson Darby, and was never taught by the historic Church. I know because I was raised on this tripe and eventually recanted.

We've got enough problems without dividing the Church and accusing fellow Christians of being anti-Christs. Let he who has ears, hear.

The Catholic Church has traditionally been a rock solid advocate for life.  The current Pope concerns me with his enthusiastic embrace of "global warming."  The "science" behind it has been proven false.  It's really just an excuse for "liberation theology" which John Paul II strongly rebuked, and is just a way to enslave the people to the world's ruling clique.
In short, the current Pope is really looking like a Trojan Horse.

Number one, he's not an American, so he doesn't talk like one. Number two, he sticks his foot in his mouth a lot, the Catholic spin doctors are constantly translating for him. Personally, I think he is a doddering old man, he's not the anti-Christ.

He comes from a socialist country and obviously leans that way. I am not Catholic, but I believe we see more internal strife within the church as the Pope pushes a more socialist/liberal agenda.

Only God know's when the end times come, and so many things that has to come before it seems to be far away. The reconstruction of the Temple (I pray this happen in my lifetime) and that Israel will be at peace with it's closest neighbor (not really the case today).

So I don't give the end times much thought other than that is when my soul will be resurrected as I understand the theology.

Yeah the Bible clearly tell us to be outsiders to society when it comes to it popular culture. Which has been hard for us neo-Christians since Christianity has been popular culture for so many centuries we are now back to being outsiders.

We did not become one of the dominant forces because we have nothing to say.  Neither were we one of the driving forces behind America's settlement, independence, and governing documents.

We are being marginalized, according to many observers, because the national  leadership has been occupied by Godless Communists and foreign sympathizers.
When Ted Cruz says, "Break the Washington Cartel," he might well phrase it, "clean out the nest of vipers."

In order to degrade America, according to communist strategy, and I quote, "There must be no standing belief in the church, and the power of the church must be denied at every hand."

Everywhere we look, we see this agenda in place. It has heightened especially during this administration, but really, we are talking about a long term communist mission.

Good read.  Thanks red.

I have always been fascinated with the Byzantine Empire and the historical significance of Constantinople (Istanbul).  So I was thrilled when my husband suggested we take a trip there.  It was an amazing peek into centuries of historical ruins and a cultural blend of East and West.  It has long been a geographically strategic place to control politically. 

Can you imagine the concern in Christian circles when Constantine decided to wed the "church" and State?  There were undoubtedly some who thought it would be the end of Christianity.

But nothing can destroy what God has created for His people.  The true faith survived.... but went through many dark days.

Post by: red_dirt on August 07, 2015, 06:49:10 PM
One thing I have heard recently is that the horrors and atrocities of the Byzantine Empire were so traumatic that the Christians, Jews, and Gentiles of Northern and Southern Europe simply erased that period from their memories and history, blamed it on the Huns, and called it the Dark Ages.

I'll tell you what, why don't you back up YOUR position with scripture? Show me where the word rapture is located in scripture. Show me where there is a second and a third coming of Christ. Show me where it says that the anti-Christ is a Catholic Bishop. Show me where it says that Revelation is written for a 21st century audience. Show me where it says that none of this has happened before.

the concept is displayed "caught up"

For this we say to you by the word of the Lord .. that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord .. will not precede those who have fallen asleep .. for the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout .. with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God .. and the dead in Christ will rise first .. then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air .. and so we shall always be with the Lord .. therefore comfort one another with these words ..... 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18

Jesus: because you have kept the word of my perseverance .. I also will keep you from (out of) the hour of testing ... that hour which is about to come upon the whole world .. to test those who dwell on the earth .... Revelation 3:10

QuoteShow me where there is a second and a third coming of Christ

The rapture of the faithful in contrast to the Revelation of Jesus at His coming

Christ comes for His own 1Th 4:13-18 ----- Christ returns with His own Rev 19:14

Believers taken to Father's House Joh 14:3 ----- Believers come with Jesus to Earth Mat 24:30

He is seen only by believers 1Co 15:52 ----- Every eye will see Him Mat 24:30

Earth not judged ----- Earth judged Rev 20:4-5

A Mystery - 1 Co 15:51 ----- Foretold in OT Zech 12:10

Christians taken first 1Th 4:13-18 3 Mat 13:28-30 ----- Wicked are taken first Mat 25:1-13; Rev 3:8-10; Rev 4:1,

He comes to present the Church to Himself 2 Co 11:2 -----
He comes with His Church for judgement and to set up his Kingdom Rev 19:6-9, Zec 14:3-4; Jud 1:14-15; Rev 19:11-21

Casts Satan out of heaven to earth Rev 12 ----- Binds Satan for a thousand years Rev 20

Occurs in the twinkling of an eye 1Co 15:52 ----- Comes to earth to do battle at specific locations Isa 63:1-3, Rev 16:16, Zec 12:9-10

Jesus descends with a shout. 1Th 4:16 8 ----- No shout mentioned Rev 19:11-21


QuoteShow me where it says that the anti-Christ is a Catholic Bishop

I never said he is ... no not the antichrist but the false prophet of Rev 13

In the midst of the Tribulation period there shall rise up two great world leaders .. one a political leader inspired by Satan himself .. the other religious leader to deceive the people with strong delusions and either lead them or force them to worship the anti-christ as the long expected world-ruler .. these two Satanic deceivers shall prevail upon all except those who risk all to boldly acknowledge their belief in the Lamb of God slain from the foundation of the world

I'm watching him closely ...... If the Final False Prophet spoken of in Revelation 13 is indeed Pope Francis .. then >> I'm expecting << all of the secular humanistic left / atheistic / false-religious-system / anti-christ / homosexual / and all the Biblical Harlot folk spoken about in Revelation 17 to glob-on to / applaud / accept and follow this guy .. He will literally rally them all together >> UNITY << will indeed be the theme ...... My real point of observation will be IF & WHEN Pope Francis gets on the same page with and starts pointing to and singing the praises of a particular (RISING STAR) powerful political figure ........ time will tell (written in 2013)

QuoteShow me where it says that the anti-Christ is a Catholic Bishop

Anti Christ = stands in the place of Christ ... < exactly what the Pope and Vatican claim

QuoteShow me where it says that Revelation is written for a 21st century audience

the answer to your last question also answers this one

QuoteShow me where it says that none of this has happened before ... the opening of the 7 seal / trumpet and bowl judgements

show me where the events of Revelation 6 thru 11 have happened before

Quotethe concept is displayed "caught up"

I understand the concept. I also understand that the verses you quote have nothing to do with one another. One is to the congregation at Thessalonica, talking about the second coming of Christ, the other is to the Church in Philadelphia, with a promise to keep them from an hour of "trial".

Here is what the very verse you also quote in 1 Cor. says about the "mystery" you claim is the rapture:

QuoteBehold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

"At the last trump". What does that mean? It means the LAST TRUMPET. The last trumpet, the end of it all, turn out the lights, the party's over, it's all over but the shouting. This is no "pre-trib rapture", this is the end of time.

You need to READ and UNDERSTAND instead of trying to shoehorn your own beliefs into them. That's all I have time for now. I'll let you deal with those details before I speak to the rest of this stuff.

Quote from: Reverend on August 17, 2015, 01:28:38 AMI understand the concept .. the verses you quote have nothing to do with one another

well no ... that is because they are describing two very different events

QuoteOne is to the congregation at Thessalonica, talking about the second coming of Christ

no not really .... Christ comes for His own 1Th 4:13-18 < this has nothing to do with the return of Jesus to establish his Kingdom on Earth ....
that does not happen until Rev 19


For this we say to you by the word of the Lord .. that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord ..
will not precede those who have fallen asleep .. for the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout ..
with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God .. and the dead in Christ will rise first ..
then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air ..
and so we shall always be with the Lord .. therefore comfort one another with these words ..... 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18


QuoteThe other is to the Church in Philadelphia, with a promise to keep them from an hour of "trial"

Jesus: because you have kept the word of my perseverance .. I also will keep you from THE hour of testing .. THAT hour > which is about to come upon the whole world < .. to test those who dwell on the earth  < [all mankind]

well first you need to quote the scripture correctly ... the word "THE" ... not "an" .... don't attempt to "shoehorn" the meaning to fit your own theology lol

Revelation 3:10 is speaking SPECIFICALLY of the Great Tribulation period .... sorry but the Children of God are not appointed to God's wrath ....

1 Thess 5:09 .. for God has not destined us for wrath .. but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ  < thank you Jesus

QuoteHere is what the very verse you also quote in 1 Cor. says about the "mystery" you claim is the rapture:

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

"At the last trump". What does that mean? It means the LAST TRUMPET.  The last trumpet, the end of it all, turn out the lights, the party's over, it's all over but the shouting. This is no "pre-trib rapture", this is the end of time.

"this is the end of time" ... well no .... the 7th Trumpet announces and displays the 7 Bowls of the final Wrath of God ... THEN Jesus returns to establish his Kingdom Rev 19

The 7th Trumpet is NOT the Last trump. The only thing they have in common is that they are trumpets.
You might as well tie Aaron's trumpet into it, if you're going to pick and choose trumpets.
There are lots of trumpets in the bible. They:

• Regulate the journeys of the children of Israel.
• Call assemblies.

show me scripture referring to the Church after Revelation 4 (other than the RCC Rev 17 Harlot) yes indeed the Whore of Babylon ((Mother "church" / drunk w/ the blood of the Saints) < those coming to salvation DURING this period and killed) will be here during that time < and your defense of this Harlot (http://dadmansabode.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=768#p768) does not help you at all .. sorry

Before God pours his wrath on this planet .... he pulls his children home (the tribulation period) we return WITH him to rule and reign WITH him for 1000 years .... and then the story continues

You need to READ and UNDERSTAND instead of trying to shoehorn your own beliefs into them lol

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY  .............. When they (THE 2 WITNESSES) have finished their testimony .. the beast that comes up out of the abyss (ANTI-CHRIST) will make war with them .. and overcome them and kill them .. and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which mystically is called Sodom and Egypt .. where also their Lord was crucified .. those from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will look at their dead bodies for > THREE AND A HALF DAYS < .. and will not permit their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb .. and > those who dwell on the earth < (GLOBAL MANKIND) will rejoice over them and celebrate .. and they will send gifts to one another .. because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth .. but after the three and a half days .. the breath of life from God came into them .. and they stood on their feet .. and great fear fell upon those who were watching them < (GLOBAL MANKIND) .. and they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them . . . come up here .. then they went up into heaven in the cloud .. and their enemies < (GLOBAL MANKIND) watched them .. and in that hour there was a great earthquake .. and a tenth of the city fell .. seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake .. and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven ........ Revelation 11:7-13

QUESTION = how long has it been possible for > those who dwell on the earth  < (GLOBAL MANKIND)
to see/watch an event in a paticular place concerning two men on the planet within the space of three and a half days ?? ... hmmmm ???  audio file XXXXXXXXXXXX added

Quoteno not really .... Christ comes for His own 1Th 4:13-18 < this has nothing to do with the return of Jesus to establish his Kingdom on Earth ....
that does not happen until Rev 19

Prove it, prove all of it. And I don't mean by repeating the same thing over and over again, I mean by sound Biblical exegesis, if you know what that is, which I doubt.

Quotewell first you need to quote the scripture correctly ... the word "THE" ... not "an" .... don't attempt to "shoehorn" the meaning to fit your own theology lol

I read it in the Greek, THE hour is just an hour, or a period of time, or a time when something is to happen. It can happen any time and has already happened, read your Church history to see the persecution of the Church in the 1st century. I mean you DO at least know that most of the Apostles were martyred, don't you? This is not to mention the Church fathers who were tortured and killed for their beliefs, like Polycarp.

QuoteRevelation 3:10 is speaking SPECIFICALLY of the Great Tribulation period ....

Nope, it's not, in the Greek it's just an hour.

Quoteshow me scripture referring to the Church after Revelation 4

Do you know what Rev. 4 really is? Take a wild guess.

Quoteother than the RCC Rev 17 Harlot) yes indeed the Whore of Babylon ((Mother "church" / drunk w/ the blood of the Saints) < those coming to salvation DURING this period and killed) will be here during that time < and your defense of this Harlot does not help you at all .. sorry

You are a sick, sick, sick individual. The "whore of Babylon" is ancient Pagan Rome, the history speaks for itself. People like you have been telling us the end of the world is coming for the past 100+ years, but I have news for you - it's going to get much, much worse, and you are going to be surprised when you end up smack dab in the "tribulation" you thought you were going to escape.

Sorry, you lost with that lousy excuse for a response.
That came off as if some punk in da hood with the experience and worldly exposure of 20 years on the same block, was preaching to a well seasoned world traveler.

I'm not trying to be insulting, you just need to know how that came off to the readers of this forum.
There's a reason people don't text or use ghetto on this forum, it exposes ones intellectual failures with their every post.

This is too bad.

I've been following this thread with interest and was hoping for a better ending.

I am familiar with both sides of this argument and was enjoying the banter.

I will make two observations.

1) Always be suspicious of anyone designating themselves as "Reverend".  We all have feet of clay and there are none Reverend except God Himself. 

Someone calling themselves Reverend on this forum is trying to intimidate the reader.

2) I have studied both sides of this argument extensively.  There are wise men of great theological renown on either side.  I do not condemn any of them on their sincere belief and commitment to truth.  I have great respect for those on both sides.  Both sides have strengths and weaknesses.

However, theologically I am convinced that Dadman is fundamentally correct.  I've spent many years on both sides of this debate but cannot embrace the concept that all prophecy has been fulfilled already.  It defies logical exegetics.

I never take sides in Christian debate where conjecture of faith is concerned, it's all opinion anyway, considering none of us truly knows what the future holds.
For all we know, it's already happened and we're all living purgatory, especially when you look at the mess the left has created in removing God from the equation.

But my issue was with the level of immaturity of Dadmans exit from the debate, which appeared more of a concession for someone unable to posit their position.
Too bad, considering were all on the same side.

Remember Dadman, patience is a virtue.  It is a fruit of the Spirit of God.

There is a right way and wrong way to accomplish most things.

Eph 4:2
with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love,

Eph 4:3
being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Hello!!  YOU can not BANNED me.  Now you can stop replying if you like.  But like you I have right to say what I like.  There is a God, how we get there is up to us. 

Now if you don't like what I say it give you room to do a lot more preaching on this forum.  Be you right or wrong it up to the reader to decide for themselves.  We are not children we are adults and can think for ourselves be it right or wrong by your way of thinking.   

You need to learn for kroz when I post something that she doesn't agree with she post a reply.  She lays it out for me, I can take it or leave it.  All this is just my way of thinking.

You engaged with the "Reverend".  It was your debate, not mine.

You should be able to fight your own battles.  You knew from his "name" what you were up against.  He wasn't interested in learning anything.  He is here to teach only!!

You weren't going to teach him anything and you lost your opportunity to teach other readers anything.  That is unfortunate because I am sure you are theologically astute.

I stated it was your childish post that I took issue with and how you just ended it with total nonsense in a very disrespectful way.
You are not posting to a couple of people, you have an audience in the 10s of thousands, people actually come here to learn, which is what this forum is about, FACTS!
If you disagree with his points, prove him wrong, or simply bow out and tell the individual you agree to disagree.
The Religion forum is held to a higher standard that all other forums on the board, decorum is expected and a manner of respect is first and foremost when discussing the bible.

Yes, I did, for your insults against the Catholic Church. I have always wondered what kind of "Christian" is so hateful against another just for their denomination. You remind me of Jack Chick, a hateful individual with no Christian virtues, look it up if you want to know who he is. And I am not even Catholic myself. I suggest you read your New Testament before you start blundering around in Revelation. Start with Galatians 5:22.

Quotelol ... you hear that "rev" ?? ... you're not teachable .. lol .. yall killn me

Now only am I teachable, I have been taught, but not by some want-to-be preacher with no name and no face.

I call myself Reverend because that's my title, and I am always astonished at the hostility it causes, especially from people who call themselves Christian. Not trying to intimidate, I guess I am just not that imaginative.

Apostate Christianity: .... many shades of the same color fall within the parameter of Biblical Christianity,
however some (and I believe more and more as we approach the final days) call themselves Christianity and are not .... they fall within what the Bible has predicted in Rev 17 ... Mystery Babylon / the mother of Harlots ... this unfaithful adulterous whore/prostitute will call herself the Bride of Christ but she in intoxicated with deception and the blood of the (actual ) witnesses of Jesus .... it will indeed be the Harlot invading (with false doctrine) and contending with the actual Bride of Christ ... the greatest persecutor of true belief is false belief

You still fail to grasp the concept of this forum. To create harmony amongst Christians, instead you attack another's faith as if somehow their beliefs are invalid and your's superior.
Personally, I do not like Catholicism or it's history, but I do not condone attacking it on this forum either.
If you can't control your scorn, then drop this thread and move on to another subject.

I understand your position, but your approach is not conducive to the ideals of this forum.

This a Religion forum, primarily Christian, where Christians can discuss religion, learn from one another, but when someone comes in trashing another Christians beliefs, interpretation of said belief, right or wrong, you crossed  the line.

If you want to argue, take it to the Poli forum, but keep it out of the Religion forum.

The picture that comes to my mind is the poignant ending to "Shindler's List".

Remember how Oskar Shindler broke down and cried because he did not do more to save the Jews?  He was grieved to the core because he spent some of his wealth on opulent pleasures in life.  He wished he had sold his luxury car and bought a few more Jews.  His spirit was crushed when he realized his own selfishness..... even though he had done so much.

Now that I observe the "signs of the times" as related to Scriptural prophecy, I do not want to miss any opportunities to help people find Jesus Christ and embrace Him as their Savior.  Because on that day of Christ's return, nothing else will be of value to me.

We can bicker over the sequence of prophetical events.  But you and I both know that the end seems to be drawing nigh.  We could be wrong, but maybe not.  In the overall scheme of things what difference does it really make?  We get to win a debate?

I have studied the Book of Revelation extensively but this is not the forum in which I believe it is profitable to discuss it in detail.   That is better done in a small group setting where all the participants have "done their homework".  It would do more damage than good on this type of forum.  JMHO

Remember, this is a political forum primarily for the purpose of discussing political issues.  We have a sidebar allocated to things that we find which are more related to religion.  Sometimes these religious threads get very interesting because it can be difficult to separate some of our political problems from our religious roots as a Nation.

I don't believe the Religion sidebar was created for the purpose of soapbox preaching.  But sometimes we can all get a little preachy on it.....because we all have our own opinions.  I hope you spend some time and read through some of these religious threads in the archives.  It may give you a better idea of how to best approach your purpose for being here.

I agree .. I believe the approaching day is something that even the unbeliever can see .. he/she may have a totally different philosophy about what it all means .. to me, it's an open door and a hopeful opportunity to advance the truth of the scripture and just maybe win some

no, not to win a debate about the sequence of events .. but hopefully a recognition that indeed these events will come and they just might not be far away, even in our own lifetime .. and for someone to relinquish them to the past I believe is a terrible Biblical mistake .... sounds to me the inquisition is on the rise again lol

I agree but I would also like to allow for anyone interested to know and understand this book (I believe is God's will) Rev 1:3 < a blessing indeed ... the opportunity to listen to a verse by verse audio series by (I believe) one of the best teachers in our time .... even though we believers in Jesus will not be here during the commencement of these horrific events < my contention

QuoteRemember, this is a political forum primarily for the purpose of discussing political issues.  We have a sidebar allocated to things that we find which are more related to religion.  Sometimes these religious threads get very interesting because it can be difficult to separate some of our political problems from our religious roots as a Nation.

indeed, and I do also have my political views and vote to hopefully see the better candidate win to the em betterment of our Country .... however as I approach my 60s my expectations in man's ability to remedy the problems we are incurring on a daily basis seems to be less and less ..... this is probably why any forum I join, the "religion" section is where I find my default .... hopefully the cards I lay on the table are the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the message of salvation

Well no it really kinda does ... Revelation 17 describes a massive religious system that describes the character and doctrines of the RCC to a tee ... not only that, the audio files I've posted reveal the un-Biblical doctrine and practices of the RCC described in the titles ... and AGAIN I would challenge you Reverend to Biblically and Scriptually display the legitimacy of these RCC doctrines I have described that you are indeed defending ... you know it was you Reverend who brought up this issue of the Pope and the RCC and that any deviation from the RCC is "dividing" the Body of christ

QuoteYou are just a Catholic hater and you are trying to make the scriptures say that it's okay to hate Catholics, who are also Christians

Well no, not really .... no. 1 - I hate no one (Judge not that you be not judged) .... this really sounds to me to be the boo-hoo-hollar of the (soon to emerge) One World Religion (what I'm expecting from the RCC) ... My Sister is staunch Catholic: "I believe in ALL Religions") ... you see, I was born and raised in the Catholic church ... and just because someone adherers to the RCC does not make them a Christian .. especially when the RCC teaches non-Biblical doctrine and proclaims a salvation to be attained by a system of works

Quoteyou are trying to make the scriptures say that it's okay to hate Catholics

??? ... Seriously ?? < show me where I state or display this ... I don't try to "make" the scriptures hate anyone .. Sheeesh !! why would I do that ?? ... the Scriptures are to lead a man to > salvation in Jesus < thank you very much

QuoteThat's why I got into this conversation - your obvious un-Christ like hated of your fellow Christians

well here is just an example of what some Catholics believe (http://www.forumsforums.com/3_9/showpost.php?p=20597043&postcount=5)  ... homosexuality no longer a sin ?? ... I do think the Apostle Paul has some words from God toward this matter .. Romans 1 ..... should I hate Mormons ? / JWs or Muslims ? .. not at all .... did Jesus promote and embrace the doctrines of the Pharisees and Sadducees and just go along to "get along" ?? .. God forbid .. no, he set them straight and lifted the Law back to where God intended it to be and then expounded and displayed the Spirit of the Law and then proceeded to the cross to die for the sins of man ... because man has no ability to "keep the Law" and indeed needs a Savior ... did Jesus "hate" the Pharisees and Sadducees ?? .. not at all .. but boy they sure hated him now didn't they

QuoteI'll be on my way now, I am not going to give you any more opportunities to sin

I too believe that there is much error taught in the RCC, but at the same time I do know of some in that church that do have a personal relationship with Christ.

Truth be known, there is likely a bit or error taught in most churches today. ...... not that I am the judge of it.  I am capable of error in my own theology.  I know that because my own personal theology has changed over time and spiritual growth and study.  All through my spiritual journey I have been the same Christian walking with Christ.

As a matter of fact, my most recent thinking is that I may have been wrong about the false religion of Revelation.  I look at various passages of prophecy.... especially in Daniel and Revelation and am seeing that the false religion could be Islam.

There is an amazing young man of God who has studied the Scripture a lot and written a new book about it.  I have listened to many of his audio tapes and have been impressed.  I have not yet read the book.
http://www.amazon.com/The-Islamic-Antichrist-Joel-Richardson/dp/1935071556

This may not be right, but it certainly seems to line up with many of the things happening in the world today.

Joel has many of his talks on youtube.  Google for more info.

Revelation 17 describes a massive religious system that describes the character and doctrines of the RCC to a tee ... not only that, the audio files I've posted reveal the un-Biblical doctrine and practices of the RCC described in the titles ... and AGAIN I would challenge you Reverend to Biblically and Scriptually display the legitimacy of these RCC doctrines I have described that you are indeed defending ... you know it was you Reverend who brought up this issue of the Pope and the RCC and that any deviation from the RCC is "dividing" the Body of christ

Well no, not really .... no. 1 - I hate no one (Judge not that you be not judged) .... this really sounds to me to be the boo-hoo-hollar of the (soon to emerge) One World Religion (what I'm expecting from the RCC) ... My Sister is staunch Catholic: "I believe in ALL Religions") ... you see, I was born and raised in the Catholic church ... and just because someone adherers to the RCC does not make them a Christian .. especially when the RCC teaches non-Biblical doctrine and proclaims a salvation to be attained by a system of works


??? ... Seriously ?? < show me where I state or display this ... I don't try to "make" the scriptures hate anyone .. Sheeesh !! why would I do that ?? ... the Scriptures are to lead a man to > salvation in Jesus < thank you very much

well here is just an example of what some Catholics believe (http://www.forumsforums.com/3_9/showpost.php?p=20597043&postcount=5)  ... homosexuality no longer a sin ?? ... I do think the Apostle Paul has some words from God toward this matter .. Romans 1 (http://dadmansabode.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2214#p2214) ..... should I hate Mormons ? / JWs or Muslims ? .. not at all .... did Jesus promote and embrace the doctrines of the Pharisees and Sadducees and just go along to "get along" ?? .. God forbid .. no, he set them straight and lifted the Law back to where God intended it to be and then expounded and displayed the Spirit of the Law and then proceeded to the cross to die for the sins of man ... because man has no ability to "keep the Law" and indeed needs a Savior ... did Jesus "hate" the Pharisees and Sadducees ?? .. not at all .. but boy they sure hated him now didn't they

okay well that is fine ... maybe you should give yourself some opportunities to Biblically and Scripturally refute my refutations of you ..... that IS what a Religion Debate Forum is all about ... right ?? looking forward to your cordial response < do have a blessed day

I am always reluctant to get involved with religious threads as they are so emotional. However, in reading your posts it is clear you have a true bias against the RCC. I am not a Catholic as one thing I cannot accept is an elected human being, the Pope, is elevated to holy status. That being said, I have known many Catholics and they are wonderful Christian people.

This is one of your statements from your post;

"some Catholics believe ... homosexuality no longer a sin ??"

Are you indicating no protestants have this view? In fact some protestant denominations have accepted this as a church.

It strikes me that your view of the RCC shows a lack of tolerance that a true Christian should exhibit.

Oh don't get me wrong ... apostasy spans ALL branches and denominations ... as far as apostasy is concerned I do not single our the RCC ... I'm just relaying some of my own close experience as a way to dispell this blanket statement that "Catholics are Christians" ... but my main point in all this is to point to the 2nd Beast Rev 13 the False Prophet and to point attention to this soon to emerge One World Religion (Rev 17) ... no, Rev 17 is not in the past but in the future

Oh I agree ... I have been involve in pro-life for many years and know many wonderful Catholics, most of my family is Catholic ...

So, am I correct in summarizing your statement as acknowledging Christianity exists in most mainstream denominations and the RCC........ and we are waiting to see if the RCC fulfills the Rev 17 prophecy?

If that is true, you get no objection from me on those points.  We don't know and cannot know for sure but must rely on the signs of the times as they unfold. 

Having said those things I will add that Pope Francis is a distinctly new type of Pope... unlike others.  He embraces communist marxism and is offended by capitalism.  That is new to the RCC.

And Pope Francis' sincere love of the poor, and shake up within the RCC hierarchy has endeared him to many!

I think that an actual real Christian in the RCC (hopefully) would realize that as far as salvation is concerned they have absolutely no "need" for the RCC ... no "church" has the power to save you ... being added to the church does not add you to the Lord .... being added to the Lord is what adds you to the Church .... the RCC claims that THEY are necessary for salvation ... < and this is not correct .... I need no "man" to forgive my sins ... my sins were forgiven by God at the cross of Jesus .. past / present and future ... i t - i s  - f i n i s h e d  ....

Quoteand AGAIN I would challenge you Reverend to Biblically and Scriptually display the legitimacy of these RCC doctrines I have described that you are indeed defending

I am not "defending" anything, I am challenging YOU to Biblically and scripturally display the legitimacy of your own statements here, which you have yet to do. When challenged on your own superstition, all you have done is change the subject to "Mary worship" (a false claim in and of itself). This is something you do constantly (change the subject, that is) when you are asked to prove your claims.

You claim Rev 17 is about the RCC, prove your case.

(From Wikipedia): in apocryphal writings, "Babylon" is a cryptic name for Rome. Reinhard Feldmeier speculates that "Babylon" is used to refer to Rome in 1 Peter 5:13. In Revelation 17:9 it is said that she sits on "seven mountains", typically understood as the seven hills of Rome. A Roman coin minted under the Emperor Vespasian (ca. 70 AD) depicts Rome as a woman sitting on seven hills.

I can also recommend a couple of books for you on the subject, if you can read.

Your claims are cultic superstition, the stuff that Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons preach, which is funny considering that both of those cults are heretical themselves.

QuoteWell no, not really .... no. 1 - I hate no one (Judge not that you be not judged) ....

This after you have called an entire assembly of Christians "the whore of Babylon"????? And you don't want to be judged????

Quoteyou know it was you Reverend who brought up this issue of the Pope and the RCC and that any deviation from the RCC is "dividing" the Body of christ

Judging by your posts here it is plain to me that you don't even know that Catholics believe, like this:

Quotewell here is just an example of what some Catholics believe  ... homosexuality no longer a sin ?

Really? That's news to me, since the RCC is one of the last holdouts, refusing to recognize so-called "gay marriage". I would suggest that you confine yourself to facts and not wild claims.

Quote... you see, I was born and raised in the Catholic church ...

I don't believe you, nobody could be born and raised in the Catholic church and be as ignorant about what they believe as you are. Like this:

Quoteespecially when the RCC teaches non-Biblical doctrine and proclaims a salvation to be attained by a system of works

Really? Feel free to expound on this "system of works" as you understand it.

Quote.... did Jesus promote and embrace the doctrines of the Pharisees and Sadducees and just go along to "get along" ?? .. God forbid .. no, he set them straight and lifted the Law back to where God intended it to be and then expounded and displayed the Spirit of the Law and then proceeded to the cross to die for the sins of man ... because man has no ability to "keep the Law" and indeed needs a Savior ... did Jesus "hate" the Pharisees and Sadducees ?? .. not at all .. but boy they sure hated him now didn't they

Jesus was a Jew, he wasn't a white Protestant. He told his followers "The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat,  so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice." That's in Matt. 23, since you probably don't know. Jesus didn't try to undermine the Pharisees's authority, although he did criticize their personal conduct.

Jesus knew the Pharisees knew what they were talking about when it came to the Law because he was a teacher himself. Uneducated men like yourself use the Pharisees and Sadducees as an excuse to ridicule clergy just for being clergy.

Quoteokay well that is fine ... maybe you should give yourself some opportunities to Biblically and Scripturally refute my refutations of you ..... that IS what a Religion Debate Forum is all about ... right ??

When you can engage in some actual debate then I am willing to try it. So far you have committed at least three logical fallacies (you can look that up) in addition to some actual falsehoods. That is not debate, that is ranting. The hardest part with you is deciding where to start because your posts are so error filled.

I was somewhat dismayed to see that John MacArthur is a party to the kind of superstition you post here. Tell me, have you  listened to Jimmy Aiken, a Catholic apologist, to hear his side of the story? That's what educated people do, they gather all the facts and THEN decide for themselves.

I have my share of problems with the RCC, NONE of which have anything to do with the slander you post. There are enough real issues with the RCC to deal with without resorting to lies.

So tell me what the RCC claims about Mary / Co-Meditrix (http://www.religioustolerance.org/mary_cor.htm) (Mary plays a part in salvation)  how do you biblically defend this ? .... was Mary born sinless ? / did she remain a virgin throughout life ?

That was Dadgum I was speaking to.

According to Wikipedia, Sacramento is named after the Sacramento river. Evidently "sacramento" is a Spanish word for sacrament.

Los Angeles, Sacramento, Corpus Christi - San Francisco means "St. Francis", and everybody should know who he was, but they will be the first to cave in and change the name of the city to "there is no God" in some language...

The Big List Of 33 Things That Are Going To Happen In September 2015
By Michael Snyder, on August 19th, 2015

Is September 2015 going to be a month that changes history? For months, there has been an unprecedented amount of buzz all over the Internet about what is going to happen in September. And without a doubt, we are going to witness a convergence of events during that month that is quite remarkable. What I have attempted to do in this article is to put together a list of things that we know will happen next month. Some of the lists that I have seen contain things that cannot be proven or that are simply inaccurate. And of course it is very likely that some things will happen in September that we cannot anticipate right now. I am just providing the information that I have at this time, and it is up to you and your family to prepare for what you believe will happen. The following is my big list of 33 things that are going to happen in September 2015...




Do not post entire articles, it's a copyright violation.  Generally, four paragraphs or text not exceeding 200 words is considered fair usage, it is always best to credit the original source.

I see you did credit the original source. 

As a Christians you keep pressing your luck dadman .

I would have liked to have seen your list, dadman.

Can you condense it into your own words?

This particular Rosh Hashanah is of interest to me because it comes in connection with the blood moon.  That could have significance.

The following is my big list of 33 things that are going to happen in September 2015...

Can't say that I was impressed.   :confused:

Only a few of those things have merit in my book.  Overstating the case causes it to lose credibility. 

I do believe we are on the precipice of significant changes in this Country and around the world, but this list does not change anything.

I do believe that the "signs" in the sky (blood moon) in connection with Rosh Hashanah is worthy to note.  But I am not sure what conclusion we should draw.  We will obviously know more after it occurs.  The Bible says that God has given us the heavenly bodies as a "sign".  There are times that He has communicated to men through these heavenly bodies.  We all know he used a star to guide the wise men to the Nativity.  We also know that He caused the sun to stand still for an entire day (Joshua 10:13).  There are other instances mentioned in the Bible in which God used these bodies as signs.  So, I try to take note of unusual phenomenon in the sky.

Beyond that, it is conjecture.

There is one point I definitely agree with.

"As a result, Americans may be forced to rely on themselves for protection, meaning Christians have to begin planning now."

My paticular interest will be watching the pope and obama on the 23rd to the 27th ...
we know they have shared goals but how much will they display (combining power and influence)
concerning a One World Religion and a One World Government .... and the message will be peace peace peace ... world peace / unity / tolerance ...
what I have my ear to the ground for is the beginning of the Tribulation period (if the rapture happens nevermind) ... the rider of the White Horse kicking this thing off ...
how much of this will be that the Jews have no right to the Land of israel and we'll start with making Jerusalem an "international" city ...
or even a "peace treaty" with Israel "protecting" them for a period of 7 years ........ yes I will be watching closely

I've said for a long time .... whether one believes in pre / mid or post Rapture .... there is no way to be totally dogmatic .. we're speaking of future events ... so long as we know to whom we belong .. Satanic forces may take our lives, but they can never rob us of our faith in Jesus Christ (saving faith that God gives endures even to the end) .... we can discuss and debate when the Rapture might happen ... however the Biblical fallacy would be to deny the event all together as reverend does (http://conservativepoliticalforum.com/new-board/farewell-to-the-rapture/) .... but that's what I would expect from a Preterist in sheep's clothing: the growing plague of end times deception (http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/sharris/150820) ..... Reverend should display where and when "we who were alive and remain were caught up together with them in the clouds and met (past tense) the Lord in the air"

Just a different perspective.

We are living in the end days, Christ has taken those he wants, leaving the rest of us to suffer with the likes of a Kermit Gosnell types, mass murderers, frauds and blasphemers.
Look around, the world is a cesspool choking on itself.

Maybe we're not as reverent as we thought we were. :wink:

Thousands Gather at South Carolina State House to 'Stand with God' Against Sin
(http://christiannews.net/2015/08/30/thousands-gather-at-south-carolina-statehouse-to-stand-with-god-against-sin/)
"The purpose of 'We Stand With God' is to encourage and empower God-fearing citizens to stand in this evil day. Timing is critical," the event website reads. "The landscape of this great republic is eroding daily and the floods of change are seeking to assassinate the moral fiber of the land we love. Crime rates are rising, civil unrest is abounding and perversion is growing exponentially."

Two things. One is your perspective is your own, and no more correct than mine.
I say this because I talk directly to God daily, not through a mediary.
I asked God to allow me to live through in the final days, and he not only granted my request, he gave me a safe vantage point from which to observe, and the means to survive the tribulations.

Second, I do not appreciate you disguising a download to my computer as a link to information.
Therefore I am relinquishing your privilege to post links to your site.
You may post links to other sites, but they in no way can be hidden as you did in this post.

Walks will be monitoring your posts.

Wrong!!!!
Are you saying God erred? "For thou shalt worship no other god". One can deduce from Gods own words, that included intermediaries.
Religion is funny that way, which is why I am not a Religious man, rather a man that needs no intermediaries, as you so clearly chastised the Catholics for the Pope.

Yeah, a bit arrogant, but it was his incessant spamming the forum with his site in hopes of giving it "some" credibility I took issue with.
If he wants to boost his readership, let him pay out of his own pocket and quit leaching off of others, that's not Christian, that's liberal.
