O boy! Pass the matches! No, scratch that. There are a few who are true in their intentions as I am able to see them and there are some who need the gas and matches as I am able to see them. In writing this, am I allowing my flesh to stick up its nasty head a bit too much? Can I truly say with...

Has anyone ever opened his heart to God? Would that not be an act of honesty? One time of opening our heart may not indicate a pattern of honesty, but it could be the first step, no? "The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way." Psalm 37:23

No more of this, for the reasons already given. You stand on your logic, but you deny that I might follow the Spirit. Walk your way if you can find God there. I must walk on what I perceive to be the highway of holiness.

Well I pay not too much attention to Popes, either pro or con. Due to his position he has a loud voice, but I am pretty hard of hearing at that.

Well some people have no voice LOL. That can be read more than one way.

This goes back to my thread here: If all of the Church is the Bride of Christ who are the guests? As I see it the Bride comes out of the Church, but not all Church is in the Bride.

This is the way that God often [always?] works. What God is really looking for is the charity [love] in us according to I Cor 13. Two people with seeming contradictory beliefs on certain points of doctrine can both please God because they really have charity in their hearts. Or because they both...

Give God always the glory, my friend, no matter what!
