Sadly Seaton it is just a knee-jerk reaction and politically expedient to raise the threat level to 'critical'.Most forecasters in any field 'predict' trends to continue and after 3 attacks in 2 days the security services are just following that norm. In my view two things are more significant: 1. The intelligence services had no indication of an imminent attack prior to Friday - i.e. they picked up no "chatter". (This observation should not be taken to detract from the excellent work the security forces have done to thwart other terror attacks). 2. It is only by the hand of God that these 3 attacks have been thwarted without any loss of life. God has been very merciful. May we pray our Father in heaven to continue to thwart and restrain wickedness. "The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof." On a sidenote, I find striking the discrepancy between the very low number of comments on this story (I'm presuming because the bombs did not go off on Friday) and the very high number of postings immediately after the bombs that did go off two years ago. The intent of the terrorists was the same in both cases, but when God restrains their wicked hand surely we have immediate cause to express public and private praise to God. |

Moanylogue,You may well call that pompous and pedantic, so be it. You have made a very serious charge from under your cloak. Now, be specific, and say exactly who you are accusing of being "Paisley haters". "Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good." Accusations of "hate" are not to be made simply on the basis of "which side of the divide" people are to be found on. The Bible shows that to be the sin of partiality. |

Moanylogue,Who are your alleged "Paisley haters on this thread"? That's a very serious charge you are making and accordingly you are under a duty to:- 1. Be specific as to who you are (and are not) addressing so as not to cause unnecessary division. 2. Prove your allegation of "hate" with specific quotations of their statements, show the statements were made without biblical warrant, and season your response with scripture that you may seek to win your erring brethren. 3. Repent if you do not do 1 and 2. "Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good." I commend to you the example of Ivan Foster in this matter "At no time did I utter criticism of him under the cloak of withholding the name of the person to whom I was referring."

Christopher Ashfield, "Perhaps our friend in America Rev Stephen Hamilton would explain the history and reasons behind the betrayal of truth by Rev Ian Paisley and other ministers who support him, I believe you do not support Rev Paisley in this decision." Given, as you say, that Stephen Hamilton has NOT supported Ian Paisley in the specific issue of entering government with Sinn Fein, why would you look to him to "explain the history and reasons" of those who did make that decision? Demand that from the people concerned. Stephen Hamilton, You are correct that "Some men's opinions are not going to be aired on blog-sites and web-pages" or indeed anywhere else for that matter. Sadly that is not necessarily a mark of godliness. "Pleading the 5th" may be a successful device in modern American courtrooms but should have no place in the Church of Christ where simple transparency and letting our yea be yea should prevail. It is godly to give a simple account and explanation and put an end to conflict (assuming such an account and explanation exists of course). |

Perhaps we could have a sermonaudio survey just for the papists to vote on:- Do you believe, with GG and the Greek Orthodox, that Mary died and was buried and resurrected? a) Yes, she died and was buried and resurrected. b) No, she was assumed body and soul into heaven without death.Please, no praying to Papa Pius for the answer. If he didn't tell you infallibly when he had the infallible opportunity he must have had infallible good reason. And necromancy is witchcraft after all. "look up all of the Greek Orthodox churches with the word 'Assumption' in their names." Is that Assumption Paris Texas or Assumption Paris France? It makes a huge difference when they are totally different. GG - hint, there is more to research than doing a google. I can do my own Google searches, thank you very much. Will your priests be immersing babies three times now? "The Church has never formally defined whether she died or not, and the integrity of the doctrine of the Assumption would not be impaired if she did not in fact die, but the almost universal consensus is that she did die. " Hilarious "almost universal" [URL=http://www.catholic.com/library/Immaculate_Conception_and_Assum.asp]]]sophistry[/URL] . |

GG,Thank you for the reply. Good to see you finally woke up to the issue after I posted the key question in plain English. The Greek Orthodox believe that Mary DIED and was buried in a tomb. Papists infallibly believe Mary was assumed "having completed the course of her earthly life". So GG based upon the infallible teaching of Papa Pius do you believe Mary DIED and was buried? Yes or No will suffice for your opinion. But it will not settle Papist controversy on this matter. So much for the authority of your infallible ex-cathedra "tradition". Was Papa Pius "smarter than 1500 years of Christian Orthodoxy"? |
