Pope Francis-- Keep up the good work!

[MrNoir]

The Catholic church is claiming they were deceived into performing the funeral:
Archdiocese of New York condemns 'scandalous,' 'sacrilegious' behavior following trans activist funeral

Considering the history between Cecilia Gentili and the Cathedral i really doubt that.

 

[MrNoir]

Reminds me of this...

Genesis 3:13 NIV
Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

/

remember the serpent told the truth.

 

[St. SteVen]

remember the serpent told the truth.

Both he and Judas should get a reprieve for their critical roles in the story of redemption.
It wouldn't have worked without them.

You obviously do know. you are expressing quite a lot of it.

It?

Joseph Zwilling, a spokesman for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York said “a funeral is one of the corporal works of mercy, a part of Catholic teaching that the church has described as a model for how we should treat all others, as if they were Christ in disguise.”

and what is the hate you a pouring out here?

Ignorance. Why? Are you a fan of ignorance?

It's not a wise policy to be a Christian and to have sympathy for the devil.

 

[friend of]

remember the serpent told the truth.

He lied. They did die, just not immediately in the physical sense. But they did die eventually. Serpent said "ye will not surely die". This intends to say that they would never die, a lie. It could be argued that they did immediately die in a spiritual sense, since their fellowship with God was broken, and those with no communion with God reside in death.

They were never immortal and would die.

And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." Gen 3:22

Is the devil an enemy? (yes)

Jesus taught us to love our enemies.
What do you suppose he should do with with his own enemies?
Does God operate on a lower standard than he holds us to?

He sure didn't mean our supernatural enemy the devil. God loves even His (human) enemies. God has no love for Satan and neither should we extend Satan any courteously whatsoever. It is foolish to do so. Like trying to hug a venomous snake foolish.

That's actually not true. It can be speculated that they partook of the tree of life before the fall. They were, for all intents and purposes, immortal in their pre fall state. Death was only introduced after their disobedience.

Do you feel the same way about Judas?
I mentioned both of them.
Judas obeyed Jesus last command to him.
Why didn't Jesus cast out the demon? (Satan)

John 13:27 NIV
As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him.
So Jesus told him, “What you are about to do, do quickly.”

[Mr E]

Actually the charity organization Cecilia Gentili founded received the grant. Among the things her organization does is it provides housing and care for homeless trans youth. Getting homeless children off the streets? how disgusting!

People that call evil good….

How disgusting!

That wasn't a command to betray Him. It was a resignation of the fact that he intended to betray Him. I would have more sympathy for Judas over Satan. Satan gets no sympathy from me.

you can speculate if you like but you have to ignore what it says to do so.

getting homeless children of the streets is evil?

If in the end God forgave Satan (loved his enemy, as he requires of us) ,
would that not be the most amazing triumph of grace imaginable?
Is God not well known for doing the unimaginable?

You are claiming that the immortality gained by eating of the Tree of Life can be undone by sin. ???
Why did God remove A&E from the garden? (orchard)

Actually this scripture doesn't even mention sin. Never noticed that before. (no mention)

Genesis 3:22 NIV
And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil.
He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.”

Sorry. The following would thus likely not be of your interest.

Col 1
[9] For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
