I stomp in, say what I mean, and wont use vain flattery to get people to accept my opinion. Perhaps some sodomites crept into the RCC and took advantage of kids, perhaps some people on this board use flattery to influence others...but I do the opposite

"And what is the heresy of Arminianism, but the addition of something to the work of the Redeemer? Every heresy, if brought to the touchstone, will discover itself here! I have my own private opinion that there is no such thing as preaching Christ and Him crucified unless we preach what nowadays is called Calvinism; it is a nickname to call it Calvinism—Calvinism is the gospel and nothing else! I do not believe we can preach the gospel if we do not preach justification by faith, without works—nor unless we preach the sovereignty of God in His dispensation of grace—nor unless we exalt the electing, unchangeable, eternal, immutable, conquering love of Jehovah! Nor do I think we can preach the gospel unless we base it upon the special and particular redemption of His elect and chosen people which Christ worked out upon the cross" (CHS)

SteveR is a shameless RC apologist and only those owned by them would stoop so low as to resort to sarcasm and levity in so grave a matter as the abuse of children by Catholic clergy.

Title: Syria vows response IDF missiles strike capital
http://www.trunews.com/article/syria-vows-response-after-idf-missiles-strike-capital
"Syria has accused Israel of supporting ISIS and has threatened response after IDF missiles struck a military airbase near Damascus."
ISIS and Iran are opposites. our prominent pastor went on tv and got that wrong. ISIS is western backed and Saudi/Qatar, add in there turkey, now look above.
you might almost see a coalition in a loose sort of way.
and another being Russia and Iran.
all played out in Syria.
problem is that it is ISIS harming the brethren, putting the American Church's allegiences at odds with itself.
to go against isis would be to go against who? and to keep Syria and the Christians inside from destruction we would have to work with who?
and how much wiser that would be to counter the power of China, it benefits no one but fiction writers to team up with the fulfillers of rev 20, except maybe a stock portfolio or two?

Pope Turns Away Devilish Donation
......
The controversy began when Argentina's leader sent Rome a donation totaling 16,666,000 pesos — about $1.2 million — to help the Francis-backed Scholas Occurentes educational foundation.
According to the La Stampa newspaper's Vatican Insider, Francis ordered the money returned because "I don't like the 666."

I'm glad you caught that, SA must be trying to protect the Pope. Francis was caught by the Franciscans using his divine powers to influence the Vatican motocross event. Cardinal Burke scored a perfect 666(six jumps over six buses in six minutes) and Francis tried to rob him of his win just because he can send people to hell, doesn't mean he should be able to get away with this. And don't get me started with the way Cardinal Pell performed his silly backflips, not to mention naming his bike the great red dragon

I humbly ask all here to pray for my brother Yinka a young man born in Nigeria into a Muslim family, who is now a true converted disciple of Christ who boldly evangelises and preaches relentlessly the gospel of Christ in the streets of Melbourne with my other faithful brothers in the Lord.
The government wants to end his visa and send him and his family back to Nigeria where surely he as a converted ex muslim would be under a death sentence, his case for extension of stay will be heard on the 25th of Jan,
Please pray for Yinka to have his expulsion overturned and that he is able to continue to labour here and to do his Lords work.
Praise the Lord
