• See Christian Priests Attack One Another With Brooms at Jesus’ Suspected Birthplace

  Darren, the Spirit is so much more than a revelator of divine truths. He is God with us, the Comforter and Friend and Lover. He is a Being with a mind and a personality. He is the One who is with us now and He is the One who works within us to change not just our minds but our hearts, our perceptions, our very beings. He will not become obsolete even as Jesus is not obsolete although the work of His death and Resurrection has already been accomplished. You need to spend some time getting to know Him. He is living and active in those who are His. If you don’t know Him as such, then I would pray because, like it or not, you may not know Him at all. And if you have been treating Him like a concept in a book and not as a Being, then He probably doesn’t know you either.

  Darren: I cannot believe that you imply that there is a point where the Holy Spirit “will no longer be needed”. He is God. You say we will not need Him? Not only is that illogical and dangerous (it seems very akin to the one unforgivable sin) but it reads as a rejection of God. It chilled my heart to read it. Is He nothing to you save an eternal Wikipedia? If that is the case, then I think you need to seriously re-examine your relationship with Him.

  On a slightly different topic, Jesus uses the language “my Father and your Father”, etc. to show that, at His Resurrection, He has made possible our adoption to God as promised in the covenant to Abraham (that God would be our God and we would be His people). It is a very precious and wonderful statement in the Word that fills me with joy every time I read it, and I’ll not see it misconstrued.

  This is not the kind of thing that we need to see going on in the church. It is disgraceful. And as to the LDS matter, I would not worry overmuch about it. The Catholics think that they are the only True Church(c) established and endorsed by Jesus Himself and that everyone else is apostate. Now, I do not happen to agree with our LDS friends, but I say all of this to say that they should not take it personally. If they think they are right, then they shouldn’t care what others think. I know I certainly don’t care how many people think that I am a heretic, and it’s a good thing too because that number is large.

  It doesn’t look like they are keeping to themselves to me. Not only are they attacking people outside of their community, but apparently they also have unwarranted influence over the government. And how about those street signs? It simply shouldn’t be allowed by their government.

• Have You Seen Denis Leary’s Parody Showing Charlie Brown Converting to Islam & Becoming a Jihadist?

  In reply to Pacapapa.

  Paca, if you truly wish to follow the One True God, then you need to lay off the “fat, ugly slobs that nobody wanted to do in the first place”. I do not think that He approves. You might just find the fat, ugly slobs entering the Kingdom before you.

• Islamist Anjem Choudary’s Christmas Message: If Jesus Were Alive Today He Would Be Muslim and Implement Sharia Law

  If I didn’t know better, I would say that this is some atheist troll’s twisted way of observing the season.

• Report: Iranian Authorities Detain Children During Raid on Church’s Christmas Celebrations

  I don‘t see how Ron Paul’s foreign policy differs that much from Obama’s. If he becomes the Republican nominee, we can expect four more years of bowing no matter who wins.

  I support Israel, but I had no idea that they were so far behind in their enforcement of civil rights. Such gender discrimination should not be allowed to persist.

• The American Cities That Added (And Lost) The Most Jobs

  Abilene has Rick Perry to thank. In order to look better on finance for his presidential campaign, he gutted TX education budget and teachers are losing their jobs in droves. We are being told to expect class sizes of 30+. All so Perry can get on TV and look like a Democrat. Hey Perry: wouldn’t it have been cheaper and more effective to just take some public speaking lessons?

  And, you know, there’s the whole being the Son of God thing. It drives Muslims absolutely batty (barrier?) when you tell them that God begat a son. Moreso when you tell them that He did so with a Jewish woman.
