• Pope Francis’ Sermon Sparks Debate: ‘Even the Atheists’ Have Been Redeemed ‘With the Blood of Christ’

  May 23, 2013 at 2:01pm

  With all due respect, the Pope has mischaracterized the passage in Mark 9:38-41. The NIV translation reads: “Teacher,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us.”
  “Do not stop him,” Jesus said. “For no one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, for whoever is not against us is for us. Truly I tell you, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to the Messiah will certainly not lose their reward.”

  The point there is not that the stranger was doing a good thing but was doing so in Jesus’ name — invoking His authority — while not being one of the Twelve. I believe Jesus’ answer is quite clear. OBVIOUSLY there is nothing wrong with ANYONE doing good. And one does not have to be a member of His hand-picked group to be accepted. His point is that anyone who invokes His authority to do good becomes one of his.
  Even though I don’t believe a word of the Book of Mormon, I believe this is what gives the LDS validity.

  Well hell, he’s 72-years-old. As long as the appeal process takes he would die before ever being executed anyway. What, they’ll execute a guy in his 80′s? It’s all good. $20 says he doesn’t make it past 77.

  In reply to barber2.

  I’m surprised they haven’t hollered about Jeff Dunham’s so-named “Dead-Terrorist” dummy.

  CAIR is offended? Good. I am offended by CAIR.

• Bill Maher on Benghazi: ‘I Still Don’t Know What the Scandal Is’

  May 11, 2013 at 12:08pm

  “I still don’t know what the scandal is.”

  Then you are trying too hard to be ignorant. (Oh, I’m sorry, I guess it isn’t that hard for you Maher.)
  They lied to us coming and going inside out and backwards repeatedly, and you don’t know what the scandal is?

  I hope I live long enough to see you die really badly.

• This Is the Scathing Benghazi Ad the RNC Created Last Year But Never Ran

  In reply to seek.the.truth.

  It’s too late to matter now. Had the Romney campaign not been so squeamish and a little more aggressive about it in the debate he might be sitting in the WH now and our country cautiously backing away from the abyss.

• Did an Imam Really Use Arabic Prayer to Covertly Damn Fallen Seal Team 6 Members to Hell During Their Funeral?

  In reply to am123.

  A Muslim has no place at ANYBODY ELSE’S religious services, particularly Christians and Jews. Just because Mohammed borrowed from the Old and New Testaments to write his book does not mean they have the same origins. They do not. There is the common misconception that Allah is the same as “I am that I am” — JHWH — that spoke to Moses from the burning bush. He is not. “In pre-Islamic Arabia amongst pagan Arabs, Allah was not considered the sole divinity, having associates and companions, sons and daughters–a concept that was deleted under the process of Islamization.”
  The Koran itself in acknowledging Christ, subscribes to St John’s definition of Anti-Christ.
  There can be no rapprochement between them. Sorry.

  In reply to Remember_Benghazi.

  @Zorro, that is incorrect.

  John 14:6 Jesus said unto him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me.”

  That sound pretty unequivocal to me. What about good people who aren’t Christians? Just my belief, not doctrine: God is ultimately fair and just. But for anyone, such as myself, who HAS heard the Gospel, then your choice is clear.

• Dallas Cops Take an Hour to Respond to Armed Robbery — and Wait Until You Hear the Reason Why

  May 8, 2013 at 10:12pm

  Must have gotten the same training as the 911 dispacher that Amanda Berry got hold of. She’s screaming “I’m Amanda Berry. I was kidnapped. I was missing for ten years. I’m free now.” And the dispatcher tells her “I’ll send a car over as soon as one’s available.” Really?
  The police had been there three time, twice in response to reports of naked women on leashes, and nothin’. . .
