I chose not to throw God away. (As if such a thing could even be done!  One may as well throw away Alpha Centauri

Many positive habits or systems have a positive measurable change on and in my life. Did I simply freely or willfully choose to implement these small yet significant changes on a day that was specific? Yes. Why was that day specific over any other day? I've no clue. But the changes are beginning to snowball. As an example, my average blood sugar reading is 184. That's over a hundred points lower than a month ago. Why is it that I had no power to even lower my blood sugar a point for many years? And why, after only a month of small changes do I suddenly feel empowered? I say that in my mind, God made a change.

I'm one of the 45,000 who disagree. And I don't even go to church that much. But I will confidently say that the Roman Catholic Church has no monopoly on the Holy Spirit

Re: Topic Synopsis
Dredge writes: Jesus said the HS "will guide you into all the truth" (John 16:13), but nCCs don't know what "all the truth" is bcoz they don't know anyone who has "all the truth"! Im assuming that nCCs=non Catholic Christians And why would I believe that only the Pope is privy to having the Holy Spirit? Or do you suggest that Cardinals can get Spooktacular results too?

You guys are being too legalistic. To sabbath means to rest in Christ. Any day can be a sabbath, but one must take the time seriously.

I don't know about him, but perhaps I could try Psychedelic Therapy! Hey, it worked when I was 20, before meeting Jesus.  And I'm not agreeing with Candle2 either. I'll get to him later after work.

Re: Jewish chronicles and the big JC
Though the RCC has had a sordid history regarding molestations and coverups, one must remember that even among the 12 Disciples there was one bad apple. (Judas) Hopefully, the RCC has not exceeded the 12:1 ratio. Their shame is and was in the coverups. It would be as if 11 Cardinals and the Pope defended 1 rotten Cardinal. (which brings up another speculation. Did Judas "go to Hell"? Orrrrrr did Jesus forgive him at a later point in time?) The world may never know. Edited by Phat, : added thought Edited by Phat, .

Idolator! Your behavior and veneration of a totally secular concept known as "Science and Critical Thought" is a thinly veiled attempt to worship human intellect itself. You and your kind won't last long.

Re: candle2 church
Forgive my ignorance, but I never knew that satan ever *had* a throne. In order to have even a metaphorical throne, one must have subjects. Perhaps a case could be made that Satan is the god of this world, but the subjects would acknowledge him as such. satan is at best an unemployed cherub.

From my vantage point, it seems that one side supports the Right To Life and the other side supports the Right To Choose. For the record, I am a pro-choice Christian.
