IMHO the opening scene in WW II drama 12 O'clock High is the all-time best. I think it helps to have an understanding of the danger and bravery of those men in the 8th Air Force in the early days of the war.

Everything might be a little strong but as a general matter, most of it is a tool of Satans. There are some good Christian programs on cable.

You are correct that abuse is possible but the possibility of committing a sin is no reason to turn away from instructions regarding Church discipline IMHO. I think the procedures requiring one, then more than one, and then the Church protects somewhat against a false sentence. I think you are...

Until you understand the scriptures below you will see the role of the Holy Spirit as foolishness. Dead Spirit Romans 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If not, the Spirit is dead and the body (flesh) is in charge...

Why the Holy Spirit matters | Simply Catholic Conflicted Mary, I think even others in the CC understand that the Holy Spirit trumps any man you have elevated to deity. Without the Holy Spirit, it will all be foolishness to you.

When I see the masses of people in Rome waiting for the Pope to speak or when they go through the process of choosing a new Pope and they are very emotional, crying, and obviously very much committed it's sad. Sad that people have elevated a fallible man (like me) to a deity. They worship him...

I pray that Mungo and others who have been deceived and are blinded by false tradition one day see the light and truly experience the power of the Holy Spirit.

I'm sure there are Bishops and others in the CC who really in their heart love Jesus but have allowed the teachings of tradition to corrupt doctrine given clearly in the scriptures. It's like they have taken a delicious dish and sprinkled in some bitter spices to make it un-eatable. I feel it's...

I'm shocked.

IMHO God's grace is like rolling out the red carpet, sending an invitation in the mail. You can come or decline. The red carpet and invitation are for all mankind. SO God provided via his Spirit the red carpet and the invitation. He has a gift for you if you want to accept it. Without the red...

I agree that some are annotated to evangelise, preach and teach.

Why the Holy Spirit matters | Simply Catholic Looks to me like you do not agree with others in the CC.

Please, your objection to the role of the Holy Spirit is proof that you think this understanding is foolishness.

The basis for this lie is that it gives the church leadership a false authority over the membership. Millions in the CC have been told that the Pope has the last word in doctrine, not the scriptures. Nothing but a tool to control and keep the uneducated, uninformed in the dark and in submission.

I know it's hard for you. I know it's important to you to hang on to Apostolic Succession and that if you admit the role of the Holy Spirit it trumps the authority of the leadership in the Catholic Church. All I can say to you is that many of us who have the helper does not allow a man to have...

I think we should not come up with our own plan but look to the scriptures for these matters regardless of how difficult they may seem. The above procedures are given to us in the scriptures. Those who have issues with it can take it up with the Holy Spirit. Matthew 18:15-19 15 Moreover if thy...

Procedures in discipline Arrange a private meeting with the offender. If a private meeting fails, meet with them and several witnesses. Admonish and warn them. As a final resort, bring the matter up to the whole church. Remove their membership, and avoid them. Be ready to forgive them when...

It seemed to me that Chuck let his disgust with the direction of our society influence his reasoning that the rapture had to be soon. Chuck would really be disgusted today. Chuck's generation saw a great contrast in social norms and behavior. America was a very different place when he was a very...

I've listened to exactly what Chuck said and he never said he prophesied the date. He was not saying that the Lord told him a date. He like you and I have our own beliefs about prophetic scripture. I agree not the best idea coming from a Pastor but he did make a distinction between prophecy and...

Ok I'll do the work for you this time.:) I expect a Christmas Card. Dead Spirit Romans 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If not, the Spirit is dead and the body (flesh) is in charge. John 15:26-27 But when the...
