Oh great. Another Catholic bashing thread.

Our Priest is far from progressive and is a very good man. He hits the sins hard in his homilies.

…. What’s homilies ? …. Sounds sketchy

Sermons

… thanks for the clarification… I thought was corn soaked in lye

Preaching truth involves everything from the love go GOD to the fires of hades. All of it comes from the Bible.

There is good and bad in everything we do. Parenting, money management, self control.

If a person can't handle talking about h ell then they shouldn't profess to be a Christian.

Joel Osteen is a perfect example of how soft and detached a percentage of Christians have become and how greedy a decent percentage of preachers have become.

Now here comes the "If GOD loves you why does HE ...." If your parents loved you, why did they punish you?

A group of people that aren't purdy.

We have churches up in the mountains that have snakes. If you show up and don't bring your own they'll loan you one.

…. They’re the only true believers as commanded in the Bible

…. Except they don’t drink poison as it says in the same scripture

… why don’t they drink poison?

Mark Driscoll
Phillip Anthony Mitchell
Josh Howerton

These among maybe a handful of others really preach, what seems to me to be, real biblical truth. I recommend people take a listen and decide for themselves.

You can for the most part drink snake venom safely, whether you believe in Jesus or not. Asian people frequently drink snake venom in some countries. It's not poisonous to drink. It needs injected into the blood stream to hurt you.

I reckon it is much easier to preach John 3:16 than it is to preach John 3:18.

… mark 16:17-18 is where it separates the true believers from the rest

… there’s those that speak in tongues

… there’s those that heal

… there’s those that handle snakes

… but only Jim jones crew drank the poison

On one hand I hear almost weekly that good works won't save you and on the other hand bad works amount to nothing if you repent. So just from the nature of man wonder which hand gets full first !

It sure is. Where do you think separation of church and state came from. Years ago, everything had to go through the church. The people had enough.

In a church state if you were a widow with kids as long as you did what the church said you would get your welfare. If not then maybe you would catch a boat to the America and help pay tea tax, lol.

My church certainly does.

…. If you ain’t drinking poison and handlin serpents you have no room to talk

The concept of separation of church and state (which, by the way, is not a phrase found in our Constitution, and some of the individual states did indeed have state-sponsored religions in the early days of the USA) came about because the kingdom the colonists were rebelling against had their own state religion established by Henry VIII. They still do. Catholics were also barred from public office in that kingdom.
