Another Robert Heinlein quote as food for thought:
Reason is poor propaganda when opposed by the yammering, unceasing lies of shrewd and evil and self-serving men.

So there was this guy up in Brookline, Mass that had a bunch of pigeons. About 100 of them. He built a couple of coops in his back yard and kept them there as pets. He got them by taking in injured and poisoned pigeons and nursing them back to health.
Well, the city didn’t like that much. Seems he didn’t have the proper permits to build the coops in his back yard, or to keep that many birds. He asked for a variance on the coops, and the city wouldn’t grant it. Without the coops, he couldn’t keep the birds, so the city ordered him to get rid of them. He took them across state lines into New Hampshire and let them all go.
The City fathers of Brookline rejoiced in their victory.
But, funny thing about pigeons.
Within days, Alexanderian, who is president of Brookline’s Town Meeting Members Association, said the pigeons had found their way back to his home at 945 Hammond St. in Chestnut Hill.
Now the birds are ruffling feathers of neighbors who say hundreds of pigeons are defecating on their rooftops, porches and patios and they have complained to Brookline’s Health Department, which is now pressing criminal nuisance charges against Alexanderian.
But, Alexanderian has a very good defense.
“Of course I’m not guilty,” Alexanderian said in a telephone interview this week. “I don’t have any pigeons. I got rid of the coops.”

One of the bikini’s earliest and most memorable film roles came in the 1962 Bond film Dr. No. (A journalist who saw an advance screening reported, “Actress Ursula Andress fills a wet bikini as if she were going downwind behind twin spinnakers.”)

Hamous;
You brought up some excellent points from yesterday. I don’t know how muhc I’ll be able to chime in here until tonight but here’s a couple of things I’d like to bring up here.
think the Lutheran position sprang from the Reformation when a Catholic Luther criticized (rightly so) his fellow Catholics for twisting the Gospel so that works were used in an attempt to win favor from God. Similarly the clergy sold indulgences, surely a corruption of God’s plan.
Likewise I’d say any Mormon who thinks that he or she can “win favor from God” from their works are doing so in vain. God loves all of us infinitely and unconditionally; but I do think that good works may causes God to “smile upon us” and without good works, i do not think that anyone should expect salvation. How closely related is that to what the Catolhic Church offically teaches? What I’m looking for are official statements from the Vatican and/or the Holy See regarding what the Roman Catholic Church believes.
On another related note, here’s what I said:
So, it does seem that I am accurate to run around the blogoshpere and say that Catholics believe that good works are necessary for salvation.
To which you replied:
No, I think it’s a little more nuanced than that. Faith is necessary for salvation. Good works necessarily follow faith.
Absolutely faith is necessary and one must always have faith before acting on anything really. To this point I’d like to ask that if one has faith but chooses not to do good works, according to Catholic doctrine, could that person loose his or her salvation? More poignant, if that person only had faith, is that enough for salvation? Mormon doctrine clearly teaches that it is not.
Obviously in the end judgement is between the indvidual and God.

Big45;
If the Catholic church we correct in their Godly decisions, Galileo would have had it alot easier. Popes are not infallible in their decisions, nor those advising him.
I do want to avoid attacking the Catholic Church. To note, the LDS church does not believe its leaders are infallible. This includes when they declare God’s will. There’s a specific process in which something a church leader says, even from the curret living prophet, to make their statements official doctrine. So very few of what the prophets have said and do say have made it through and do make it through that process. The LDS Church believes in living and ongoing revelation and teaches that its members should always be in tune to the Holy Spirit to confirm in their hearts God’s truth.

Shannon from yesterday;
No. Catholics and Lutherans are not in full communion.
And considering the direction of the largest Lutheran body, it won’t happen anytime soon. If ever.Thanks for that clarification. Who knows ifthe Lutheran Church will ever be in full communion with the Catholic Church (I dn’t even know what that means exactly) but, like you said, Catholics are a slippery bunch. 😉

Six people were killed and dozens were wounded Thursday in a series of terrorist attacks on Israeli targets approximately 20 kilometers north of the southern city of Eilat, close to the border with Egypt.
The first attack, at around 12 P.M., was a drive-by shooting targeting Egged bus 392 traveling from Be’er Sheva to Eilat, near the Netafim junction.
Shortly afterward, IDF forces rushed to the scene and were faced with several explosive devices that were detonated alongside an IDF vehicle.
At approximately 12:35, a mortar was fired from Egypt to Israel. No casualties were reported.
Did this ever happen under Mubarak? This was an act fo war on the part of Egypt. But, Obama and the rest of the internationalists will remain silent on this issue. that is, of course, until the Israelis retaliate in full force. But that’s a big if. The way I see it, a lot of Israel’s leaders are just as whimpy as ours regarding their defense and security.

Full Communion……short explanation:
ELCA Lutherans are in full communion with Methodists and Episcopalians. They can all celebrate the Eucharist in each other’s churches and pastors from one can lead in the other’s churches, as often happens when there is a shortage of pastors in a particular area. -

Can that faith be genuine if you do not live Christ-like? Again, I think they are not mutually exclusive.

re: Infallibility
Catholics do not believe the Pope is infallible in everything he teaches or says. There are only two instances in the 2011 year history of the Church where papal infallibility has been invoked.

Infallibility (Catholic Church style) – only applies to the Pope when speaking ex cathedra (out of the Chair of Peter, or in his official capacity as Pope), and when speaking on matters of faith. These are matters of doctrine, and usually not arrived at in any kind of trivial time or manner, usually after years of study and with the contribution of the Magesterium.
I picked up a book one time that had an interesting Catholic-looking title. The author was obviously a Catholic hater and a complete whack job. As the pages and my stomach turned, I kept going only because I KNEW that somewhere along the line, some character would pop out of the woodwork and set the facts straight. Never happened. The last page contained a message from Mary, condoning “all forms of love,” condoning (and facilitating) suicide, and abortion. The logic on the abortion was that since Mary was given the choice to bear Jesus, that all women should have the choice whether or not to bear children. Of course, Jesus wasn’t in her womb at the time the choice was made, but that’s beside the point. One of the most infuriating parts was when the “Pope” was walking in a garden, talking to a friend. The “Pope” made some remark, smirked at his friend, and said “Infallibility is great to have, isn’t it?” With all the information available, with all the opportunity to educate himself, this is the best the author could manage.
Those who don’t want to know will forever remain ignorant.

After 3 years, how’s that hopey-changey thing working out?
The number of Americans who approve of President Barack Obama’s handling of the sour US economy has slumped to an all-time low for him of 26 percent, according to a poll released Wednesday.
The respected Gallup organization’s findings showed the embattled president down 11 points since mid-May on an issue sure to define his quest for a fresh term in the November 2012 elections.
Obama also won low approval ratings for his handling of the runaway US federal budget deficit, at 24 percent, while just 29 percent approved of his record on job creation at a time of unemployment over nine percent.

I don’t know why these mainline churches even bother with the complicated process of establishing Full Communion with each other….
Used to be that you had to at least be baptized and confirmed to receive Communion in my church. In the last six years it is offered to “anyone seeking a closer walk with Christ”.
This change bothers me greatly. I would be already be gone but my wife isn’t up to making a change this late in the game and our choices are limited and geographically distant. -

Another interesting factoid on papal infallibility that most people don’t realize – papal infallibility acts as a restriction on the current pope, not as a wild card. With papal infallibility, then previous popes’ decisions cannot be argued. Therefore, the current Pope cannot “jump the rails” so to speak, and go off in a different direction. Since current popes cannot change past doctrine, and the line of popes goes back to Peter himself (who learned at the feet of Jesus), then the doctrine of the Church also goes back to the original source. This discourages heresy.
Of course, for the layman and non-Catholic, the discrimination between doctrine and practice, which are very different things, can be a very blurry line.

Now OBH and Big Sis will tout how they fixed the illegal immigration problem without building a fence.
Looks like I was wrong. They don’t want our border states vote, they want to completely do away with us.

The Catholic Church accepts any other church’s baptism, as long as it trinitarian – “In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit”. Not all Protestant churches will accept a Catholic baptism, however.
Communion in the Catholic Church hinges on your communion with Catholic beliefs. For us, the Eucharist is not just a memorial or a symbol, so it is important that it is received properly. I nearly blew a gasket when Clinton got in line to receive. He had no idea what he was doing. I understand the priest was put into a tough spot, and goodness knows Clinton needed something holy in his system, but to treat the Body of Christ with such lightness just wissed me off.
And don’t even get me started on Pelosi and the Kennedy family receiving Communion. I’m surprised it didn’t burn a hole in their stomachs.

Yes, except rather than give you communion, they give you a blessing. And on the Protestant side, it hinges on whether a sect belies in total immersion only.
That’s why I’m more spiritual rather than religious. It’s not my place, but God’s to determine if I measure up. -

I was taught not to criticize other religions, as we all seek Jesus in our own way, and most religions have a germ of truth.
Of course, I do draw a line at murder of innocents in the name of God. I really don’t think God would approve of that.

This is a request, and I’m not invoking Blog Monkey Infallibility, but I would like to ask you all to refrain from linking to any story on infowars.com or prisonplanet.com or any site associated with Alex “Rabies” Jones. I’m not going to delete any links and I will not strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger. I just ask that you don’t link to that maniac.
If a story is legitimate there should be multiple sites to choose from. If there are not then it’s probably one of the multitude of conspiracy theories that ooze out of the lyssaviritic brain of Jones.
In the case of the Napolitano story, it’s easy. Her culturally Marxist video is right on the DHS website.

As per OC thread – my sister sent me a bunch of senior citizen bathing suit cartoons. I have never figured out how to insert them into comments, so I will send them to WB and Hammy, and if they determine they are SFW, I’ll let them post for the enjoyment of all. At least those two will get a laugh out of ’em.

Hamous’ point was that if you are truly living your faith, then works will naturally follow. Keep in mind that God does not expect us all to be a St Francis, Mother Teresa, or one of the great martyrs. He just wants us to use the gifts he gave us to bring more into his kingdom.Salvation is a completely gratuitous gift. There is nothing we can do to earn it or buy it. The only thing we must do is ask for it.

On a side note – many of you know about my uncle passing away Saturday. He regained some lucidity in his last hours, and told his daughter that he wanted to be cremated with his teeth and his rosary. It seems he was very sensitive about being seen without his dentures. Hubby and I didn’t know he even had any. Anyway, his son had to make a trip to the nursing home, because his dentures had been left behind in a drawer when they came to move him. They were brought home in a container with a snap-top lid. Daughter Cousin told Hubby that every time she walked by, the container would be open. She’d close it, and the next time it’d be open again. Son Cousin had the same experience – the container was always open.
Hubby and I figured that my uncle just really, really wanted his teeth.

Of course, I still believe that the fullness of truth resides in the Catholic Church. I was drawn to read apologetics years ago, and the more I read, the more it made sense. Although I try not to discourage others from seeking in their own way, I am very glad that I was born Catholic, and “born again” Catholic in my late twenties.

In 1962, it was the single goal of every 10 year old boy (this one included) to find a way to the theater to see Dr. No and Ursula Andress in her bikini. A right of passage it was.
And seeing the movie 4 or 5 times was not unheard of. We scavenged and turned in a lot of empty soda water bottles for 2 pennies a piece at the 7-11 icehouse that summer. Summer matinee was, I think, 35 cents a head.

I actually encourage them to find their own way. I cannot say that any one Dogma is correct and another incorrect. All of the sects split through the centuries because of human interpretations or politics, not God’s original salvation.

The only “communion service” I’ve ever seen outside of the Catholic Church was in a Baptist church. They passed two trays down the aisles – one full of oyster crackers and one with shot glasses with Welch’s grape juice. There were racks on the backs of the pews in front of you to put the empty shot glass. I found the experience very irreverent.

I do know that Baptists do not recognize other baptisms and insist on full immersion, but I think their main beef with the rest is they dont believe in infant baptism; that one must be old enough to make a decision – a huge difference indicating that they believe one actually has a hand in their own salvation. -

O.K. Hamsters, time for the post office run. Y’all take care.
BTW, I feel it show’s our level of intelligence that we just spent most of the morning discussing religious beliefs and no one placed a curse, started a Crusade or shouted for Jihad. Thanks for the opportunity to socialize with a crowd like this one.

I’m off, also. I have a list of errands, and I do not when I shall return.
Don’t tear up the couch while I’m gone, no wild parties, no exposed flame or spray paint.
You’d think the Queen would have minions to go get locks rekeyed and such, but alas, the minions have the day off.

I accept the challenge of writing captions for any picture. I did my best to politicize it which is what I do best. So here is my best shot at a “Top Ten” list of captions for this picture.
1) Now a days, this is way too much clothes for the beach.
2) If you think this is “less”, wait until you see what I have on underneath.
3) I’ll bet MooMoochelle couldn’t wear something like this.
4) This old bathing suit wouldn’t even turn Bill Clinton off.
5) This is what a conservative would wear. Guess what a liberal would wear? Nothing!!!
6) I’m waiting for the Obummers to come vacation here with me.
7) This picture (black and white) should remind Obummer of his roots.
8) No, I’m not like Brigitte Bardot but I will age better than she did.
9) Do you think President Obummer could put some suntan lotion on me?
10) I’m “The Help” at the cottage the Obummer’s are staying at.
Well, this is the best I could do with what I got to work with. Now give me a picture of Obummer and watch me go.

Speaking of the post office, last week I was reading the story on how the USPS was making drastic cuts, laying off workers, maybe dropping Saturday deliveries, etc. I got to thinking about how often I use the post office. I can only think of one time a year where I actually mail a letter – when I send in my income tax return. I still receive a couple of bills through the mail but I could easily receive those by email. All my bills are paid online. I can electronically send a check to anyone. I can get and receive packages by UPS or Fedex. Even my 95 year old grandmother (before she died) had email. 99% of the mail that comes in my box is junk. Do I need the USPS?

I have noticed a significant drop in the amount of mail I get, including junk mail. I could easily get by with mail one or two days a week. They could lay off a bunch of delivery people and keep some for alternate routes on different days. How much of the mail do you get, with the execption of cheques for you business types, that must be dealt with immediately?

No doubt the SS is concerned with the security because of the nature of the flash mob riots.

While I am not going to wade into the discussion about Catholicism or the many sects of Protestantism because I have real serious disagreements with y’all about that (and I have tried to illuminate y’all as to the what and why with no success); I would humbly submit that Redemption and Salvation are not the same thing. The former is a free gift, think about all of Israel, redeemed from Egypt (paid for by the death of the first born of Egypt), yet of those who were “of age” only 2 achieved Salvation ie the entered into The Land. They were allowed to enter because they trusted and because they obeyed; ie their hearts were right. Redemption gets you out of jail, your behavior after that point keeps you out of jail and determines your position in The Kingdom.
Think about it, when ever The Messiah healed someone, HE always said, “go and sin no more”. When those words were spoken, sin was defined as a violation of the written Torah. The ruling class (Sadduccees and Pharisees and some others) added a tremendous amount to that and tried to claim (erroneously so) that it to was on equal status with Torah and in many cases exceeded that which was written.
Throughout the First Testament, worship in any form other than that which was specified in The Torah was equated with harlotry; Y_VH HIMSELF stated many times, I NEVER CHANGE, The Messiah stated clearly and repeatedly “The Father and I are ONE”. So if Y_VH and The Messiah are ONE and Y_VH never changes and Y_VH specified repeatedly how HE was to be worshipped and The Messiah never spoke against anything that was written, nor did Paul, or Peter or James or John or Matthew why is everything so different now? When The Messiah was on trial, they could find no fault with HIM with respect to the written law because HE never violated it. He is our example and we are to walk as HE walked, blameless before the written law. We are at a disadvantage today because THE TEMPLE does not exist at this time, everything else that is contained in the written law is still valid and is how we will all be judged. I will cite Matt 5:17-20, and ask the question about “all being fulfilled”: how much does “all” cover? The Ezekiel passage in ch37 about the dry bones, the first part had not begun prior to the Cruxifiction, and the fulfillment did not even begin (it is not complete yet) until the 1900’s; does that prophecy merit being included in “all”? If your answer is yes, then reconsider what the Matt 5:17-20 passage is saying.
That is all for now. -

#57 Hambone from your link and yes he nails it;
Not content to wait for history, the incomparable Norman Podhoretz addressed the question recently in the Wall Street Journal:
To be sure, no white candidate who had close associations with an outspoken hater of America like Jeremiah Wright and an unrepentant terrorist like Bill Ayers would have lasted a single day. But because Mr. Obama was black, and therefore entitled in the eyes of liberaldom to have hung out with protesters against various American injustices, even if they were a bit extreme, he was given a pass.
Let that sink in: Obama was given a pass — held to a lower standard — because of the color of his skin. Podhoretz continues:
And in any case, what did such ancient history matter when he was also articulate and elegant and (as he himself had said) “non-threatening,” all of which gave him a fighting chance to become the first black president and thereby to lay the curse of racism to rest?

What is the difference between slaves on plantations and blacks who blindly vote for Democrats?
What does a slave-owner have to provide, free, for his slaves?

2. Free Food.
3. Free Healthcare
4. A menial education sufficient to the task he requires the slave to perform.What is the one thing a slave owner required of his slaves?

The central question posed by the author “How, they will wonder, did a man so devoid of proffessional accomplishments beguile so many into thinking he could manage the world’s largest economy, direct the world’s most powerful military, execute the world’s most consequential job,” has long been answered. It was, in fact answered long before B. Hussein Obama even ‘won’ the Democratic Party nomination. With the full backing of the main-stream media.Via JournoList – a group of over 400 members of the lame stream media – they actively hid his failings (which are far too many to detail) and actively attacked his detractors (also far too many to detail), they ‘fixed the election’ to ensure the ‘strongest’ Democratic Party candidate ran against the ‘weakest’ Republican Party candidate. Somewhat off-topic, but highly relevant, as one of the greatest Republicans ever (Abraham Lincoln) said: “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.” And that’s what the world is seeing now – people waking up to being fooled.
There is a segment that will choose to remain fooled, my question is “how many will wake up to the fact that the LSM has been lying and heavily slanting the news for decades?” What will happen when they start to realize that the talking heads on the alphabet soup networks are not to be trusted?

Can that faith be genuine if you do not live Christ-like? Again, I think they are not mutually exclusive.
From that I understand pretty much what Wagonburner said. That if you have faith, you’ll do as the Lord would have you do. Is this how the Vatican views the role of faith and works? From the little I read from the Vatican and linked two days ago it seemed to me that God can prompt an individual to turn away from sin but it is that person’s free will that needs to cooperate with that Godly prompting. To me that seems to say that a person can have the faith and even the desire but can choose to reject both. What you are saying is that if you have faith, you will act and if you do not act that you did not have faith in the first place and therefore one’s progress towards God is founded entirely upon faith. Is that correct? And please let me know, according to your underastanding, if I interpreted Catechism from the Vatican’s website correctly.
On a personal level, I can see how one can believe but not act. I do that all the time. I also think that while faith and action do affect one another that there needs to be a cooperation between the tow in order for both to improve. If a person has faith, that person may be prompted to act. Upon acting and realizing the blessings of good choice, the person’s faith and desire to serve the Lord will increase. Upon acting upon that increase of faith and desire, the person will be more blessed. Thus faith and works are cyclical but remain independent one from another.

WASHINGTON — The Obama campaign’s point person in New Mexico recently sent an email to supporters defending the president’s position on the debt deal and bashing the Nobel Prize winning New York Times columnist Paul Krugman and the “Firebagger Lefty blogosphere.”
On the evening of Aug. 1, just after Congress passed legislation to raise the debt ceiling, Obama for America (OFA) New Mexico State Director Ray Sandoval sent an email to supporters with the subject line, “Please take 5 minutes to read this, Please.”
Some Lefties are upset an Obama campaign official would insult Paulie K.
“Firebagger Lefty blogosphere.”
I like that one.

Having faith, even the tiniest kernel, predisposes you to accept the promptings of the Holy Spirit. These promptings along with graces given us by the Father instill a desire within us to do his will, including doing works on his behalf.
God and the Holy Spirit are very patient (to a point). If you don’t act on their promptings, they’ll just keep poling you. Pretty soon you’ll get the message.

Now give me a picture of Obummer
Thank you for the captions. I notice a lot of folks are converging on “Obummer” as the best descriptive corruption of BHO’s last name. An innovative pronunciation I heard on talk radio recently is “Baroque Obummer”.

Speaking of Icee….
Just had a conversation with an Icee machine tech.’I was complaining about the Cola Icees at my favorite store up the road. The Icee always comes out half liquid cola and half slushy frozen consistency. I was blaming the machine but he explained that to retain the Icee logo the store must use at least one Icee brand syrup. Many stores save money by buying knock-offs from someone like Coke. These knock-offs lack two (natural) ingredients that give it the classic Icee consistency.Just so you know……

True. I was at a church committee meeting to share what I had learned at a catechist conference. I had been teaching some of the lower grades of CCE, and had been pondering moving to start a youth ministry. It had been an idea that kept prodding at my consciousness for weeks, but I kept ignoring it. Here I am, talking about speakers and faith books, and suddenly the words “I’ll take on youth ministry” pops out of my mouth. Hadn’t planned on saying it. Hadn’t wanted to say it. Really wanted to take some more time to look at the commitment. But once it was said, there it was. It turned out to be one of the best tasks I’ve ever undertaken.
After I left the YM (thanks to a pompous _______ of a priest – he was very liberal, btw, but that wasn’t why I couldn’t work with him), I was asked to do the pre-confirmation class. I followed that prompting as well, and haven’t looked back.
Yep, when God wants you, he’ll keep after you. It’s up to us to go where we’re led.

I agree. But after getting the message, will you act? There’s plenty of things I know God wants me to do but I don’t do them. What role does free will play after receiving the promptings of the Holy Spirit? What I am understanding from you and Hamous leads me to conclude that God willl prompt you to act no matter what. Can a person simply choose to not act upon God’s prompting? that a person may have God’s predisposition within him but chose not to follow it? If so, would that not jeopradize his salvation, despite God’s grace imparted within him?
I’m trying to understand all this from official Roman Catholic doctrine. Here’s a part from the Catachism that seems best expressed to my inquiry (bold mine):
2008 The merit of man before God in the Christian life arises from the fact that God has freely chosen to associate man with the work of his grace. The fatherly action of God is first on his own initiative, and then follows man’s free acting through his collaboration, so that the merit of good works is to be attributed in the first place to the grace of God, then to the faithful. Man’s merit, moreover, itself is due to God, for his good actions proceed in Christ, from the predispositions and assistance given by the Holy Spirit.
Does “and then follows man’s free acting through his collaboration” mean that after being predisposed by the Holy Spirit man must choose to do what the predisposition guides the man to do?
Yep, when God wants you, he’ll keep after you. It’s up to us to go where we’re led.
That’s very much how I view it as well. No doubt blessings have opened up to you and t others because you followed up on that spiritual prompting. It seems to me that you were willing to head the call when that call came.

Where did this Dayaam IDIOT come from anyway?
I don’t watch CNN, but I was familiar with Piers Morgan from seeing the viral video of singer Susan Boyle. She was the dumpy middle-aged woman who competed on Britain’s Got Talent in 2009. This was one of Simon Cowell’s talent search TV shows — he was a judge on American Idol. Both Cowell and Piers Morgan were judges on B.G.T.
It is impossible for me to see in the video how this woman was treated by the audience during her introduction, and then hear her sing “I Dreamed a Dream”, and see everyone’s reaction, without tears streaming down my face. If you never had that experience, here’s the video from that show:

The Homeland Security Department said Thursday it will halt deportation proceedings on a case-by-case basis against illegal immigrants who meet certain criteria such as attending school, having family in the military or are primarily responsible for other family members’ care.
The move, announced in letters to Congress, comes after Hispanic activists and Democrats had urged President Obama to exempt broad swaths of illegal immigrants from deportation while Congress wrestles with the issue.

But nobody knows how they taste because the chickens run so fast nobody can catch them.

Taranto predicts how our HNP’s new plan for jobs will go:
The Associated Press reports President Obama has figured out what to do about the unemployment problem, and you’re going to want to sit down before we tell you. Ready? OK, here goes:
He’s going to give a “major speech.”
Wait, there’s more! The Los Angeles Times reports that he’s already “daring Republicans to block” the “job-creation package” he has yet to devise.
So, to sum up: Give a big speech, demand that Congress do his bidding, implore Americans to lobby Congress. Lather, rinse, re-elect. What a fresh new style of leadership!

There’s plenty of things I know God wants me to do but I don’t do them. What role does free will play after receiving the promptings of the Holy Spirit?
Free will is what allows you to ignore the promptings or to act upon them. God doesn’t force us to do anything. Cajole, prod, encourage, guilt into – maybe, but force – no.
What I am understanding from you and Hamous leads me to conclude that God willl prompt you to act no matter what. Can a person simply choose to not act upon God’s prompting? that a person may have God’s predisposition within him but chose not to follow it?
See above.
If so, would that not jeopradize his salvation, despite God’s grace imparted within him?
Maybe, maybe not. God made the world and the rules and he gets to make that call. And I am 100% ok with that.

Boy, Perry’s been in the race a few days and the eco-Marxists are coming unglued:
Perry has pronounced that he will not watch Al Gore’s slide show on climate change. What if someday he decides he will not hear the security briefings from the CIA? What if he decides to stop listening to the people at the Federal Reserve? Is that any way to lead the nation? We don’t get to pick the facts of our times, but we do get to choose how we confront them.
If you can read the whole thing you’ll realize it could be used to demonstrate just about every logical fallacy known to man.

Maybe, maybe not. God made the world and the rules and he gets to make that call. And I am 100% ok with that.
I agree.
See above.
I really need a Catholicism for Dummies (and please don’t send me to a Protestant 😉 ). When I restate questions it’s for further clarity, not to reread what I previously read which I did not understand in the first place. Oh well, I’m done asking. It seems like I’m going in circles and I’m sure it’s my lack of being able to understand. I’m going to go ahead and conclude that Catholic doctrine does teach that a person may choose to lose God’s grace and be damned. Such a teaching makes perfect sense to me.

further to my #132 above, they even change the way that they calculate the numbers from when W was pres to make them look not as bad. They have really changed since 1932, my understanding is that if we used the same methods to calculate unemployment as in 1932 the rate would be somewhere north of 25%.

Is one of these two words the one-word answer you were looking for in your earlier question? I am so confused.
Heh. A better post to Shannon would have been: Best. Response. Ever.
I always get confused when I learn something new. Therefore I like simple answers and I’ll inquire further if there’s more an issue that I want to learn. I often need to sit back, ponder, and let my poor brain process the info. I didn’t even intend to make my curiosity a full blown discussion. I’m glad it turned out to be one though. Despite my confusion I did learn an aweful lot and I do enjoy learning about religions.

BTW Shannon:
I tried to tell him there ain’t no simple answer.
But he kept pushing.That I do disagree with. While Catholicism is a very detailed religion all I wanted to know is if good works is essential for salvation. If I asked the Pope that question I highly doubt his answer would be “maybe, maybe not”. Nor would it be, “well, that depends…”. The clearest response I got was from Tedtam. From her responses and her links it seemed my educated presumptions regarding the Catholic view of works was confirmed.
I decided it was your responsibility to straighten him out.
I agree. It was Wagonburner’s responsibility. He just twisted up my mind even more. Call me pretzel brain, I guess. 😕

This guy explains the difference between Lutheran and Protestant.
Keep in mind he does not speak for all modern Lutherans — this is old time Lutheran stuff .
I agree with him.Evangelical but not Protestant
An evangelical is one who preaches the Gospel. Thus Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are called the four evangelists. An evangelical is not one who preaches about faith, but rather one who preaches Christ crucified for the sins of the world, pointing to Jesus as our savior and mediator, and not to our own hearts or faith. True evangelicals preach Christ and thus create faith through the Word (Ro. 10). Thus, John the Baptist is a true evangelical, pointing sinners to Christ, Whereas Billy Graham is not a true evangelical because he preaches that the sinner saves himself by choosing to let Jesus become Lord of his life. Jesus is Lord because the Father says, not because we decided He is. After all, one day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord, irrespective of whether they want Him to be or choose Him.
Therefore, the Lutheran Church is evangelical: preaching, teaching, and confessing the tradition and teaching of the holy apostles, prophets, and evangelists.
Furthermore, Protestants are those who reject that the Sacraments are more than visible signs or outward expressions of an inward faith. The sacraments are these, but they are much more. They are the very Word of God that creates and strengthens faith in the Son of God. Thus, Baptism is not just plain water, but the water included in God’s command and combined with God’s Word. It is the Word of God that makes Baptism true Baptism, and not the mode of applying the water or the individual’s desire or faith. Scripture teaches (Acts 2) that the promise of the Holy Spirit is attached to Baptism, and St. Peter (1 Peter) writes that Baptism saves us by the power of the resurrection of Jesus, cleansing our conscience before God.
Contrary to the clear words of Jesus, Protestants also deny that the bread and wine of the Lord’s Supper are actually the body and blood of Christ. Our Lord says of the bread, “This is my body,” and of the cup, “This is my blood.” Moreover, St. Paul in 1 Corinthians 10, writes, “The bread that we bless is it not a participation in the body of Christ? And the cup that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ?” Protestestants retort, “Yes, but Jesus also said He is the vine (or door), but we don’t say He is a vine (or door).” But they mis the direction of Jesus. If Jesus had picked up a vine (or pointed to a door) and said, “I am this vine,” then the vine would have been Him, for the Word of God is not ineffective to do as it says. But He didn’t pick up a vine and say, “I am this vine.” He said, “I am the vine.”
But He did pick up the bread and the cup and say, “This is my body..this is my blood.”
Thus the Lutheran Church is not Protestant. We confess that the sacraments (including preaching, holy absolution, and ordination) do what they say they do: the give the will of God to sinners, forgiving sins and creating faith. There are other things concerning the Church that separate the Protestants from the Lutherans, but let these suffice for now.

Well WTF! I just saw on the news that some lady captured a Bobcat in a cage because it was being a nuisance in some neighborhood and she called the animal control folks and they said that the Bobcat was too aggressive and needed to be euthanized, so a cop showed and shot him! He was aggressive because he is a wild animal that had been caught. No different than a coon or possum, just a little more dangerous. This is stupidity on parade.

Let’s add this to the mix:
We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
And this would definitely apply:
An evangelical is not one who preaches about faith, but rather one who preaches Christ crucified for the sins of the world, pointing to Jesus as our savior and mediator, and not to our own hearts or faith.
So, get ready world. The Mormon evangelists are here!
That was a good post, Shannon. It is important for participants to remember the meaning behind the rituals.

One of the most profound changes Luther made in the rituals of Christianity was in the sacraments. Lutherans have two, in contrast to the seven of Roman Catholicism, and the theology used to understand what they mean differs significantly from the sacramental theology both of Roman Catholicism and of other Protestant denominations.
The most obvious rite in Lutheranism, as in most forms of Christianity, is the Sunday worship service.Sunday services include many rituals: praying, hymn singing, communal readings by the congregation, blessings, and benedictions.Even scripture reading and sermons are highly ritualized.Yet, of these rituals, two more are particularly important: the sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s Supper.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), more commonly known as the “Mormon” church, is a religion derived from Christianity that traces its origins to Joseph Smith. Founded by Smith in 1830 C.E. in New York, Mormonism developed as a sectarian movement in a turbulent period of American religious history. Joseph Smith claimed to have been called by God to restore the church that Christ had established on the earth, but which had been lost after the deaths of the original apostles. Smith said that heavenly messengers, including John the Baptist, visited him and conferred upon him the divine authority to perform valid Christian baptisms. Later, Smith introduced the practice of plural marriage as part of his desire to reintroduce all biblical practices into the modern world. The Mormons moved several times during the 1830s and 1840s, often due to violent persecution and disputes with their non-Mormon neighbors. After Smith’s murder in 1844, leadership of the church passed to Brigham Young, a dynamic organizer and frontiersman who led the church to the relative isolation and security of the American West. The church abandoned polygamy in 1890, and gradually found a place within traditional American culture. Today, members of the church maintain strict dietary laws that prohibit the consumption of alcohol, tea, coffee, and the use of tobacco and illegal drugs. The church is also known for its emphasis on traditional family life, a strong work ethic, and a respect for authority and order. The Mormons also have distinct theologies including a unique doctrine of God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit in which the three are separate entities, and continuing revelation through modern prophets.
That’s actually a pretty good summary description.

I’m not sure where you got this, but the author obviously spent very little time actually listening to or reading the words of Billy Graham.
