It is not the Church'...People never seem to get it. It is not the Church's job to pat you on the back, they are here to save our souls. <BR/><BR/>If the Pope saw a blindfolded man walking towards a cliff, is it better that he not hurt his feelings and encourage to continue on, or is it preferable for him to shout "STOP YOUR GOING THE WRONG WAY!"<BR/><BR/>Great post Jimbo, great blog!Fidei Defensorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02236784399852253136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19895656.post-1138313471741290882006-01-26T16:11:00.000-06:002006-01-26T16:11:00.000-06:00"We were not made to be servants of our carnal app..."We were not made to be servants of our carnal appetites, to the point where we cannot hear about the love of God without receiving it as a rebuke."<BR/><BR/>I wonder why so many caught in depravity see their depravity as freedom instead of the slavery it really is. How has vision failed that freedom now means slavery? It sounds like we've been in the world of Orwell's 1984 too long that the terminology gets so twisted. Kind of like "Arbeit mach Frei" that was written over the gates of Auschitz.<BR/><BR/>Remember in the novel how the Ministry of Love was a place of execution and torture? After a visit there, the only person that one was induced to love was Big Brother.

That is why they expect 2000 years of Christianity needs to be rewritten so they can feel better about their sins.The Unseen Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06526963688575076047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19895656.post-1138294598760076592006-01-26T10:56:00.000-06:002006-01-26T10:56:00.000-06:00I'ts hard to explain the difference of loving the ...<I>I'ts hard to explain the difference of loving the sinner and hating the sin, if the sinner cannot separate the sin from their own identity as a child of God. We were not made to be servants of our carnal appetites, to the point where we cannot hear about the love of God without receiving it as a rebuke.</I><BR/><BR/>Very well said!Sir Galen of Bristolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14249011691189216258noreply@blogger.com
