How can they dare to contradict the Pope? Don't they know he's infallible?

I'm going to accept his argument when I can't answer a question from now on, and then I'll go and die of shame.

Hard time? A person told me that his and other local churches are immoral. Easy time for them.

OMG supposedly it means "Oh my God." But didn't you know that's what the Pope said when he found himself face to face with the Devil?

Who is "My Goodness ?" Our source of all goodness?

But, not using our Creators identity in a flippant way.

To be shocked by gay blessings is hypocritical - Pope

I'm still trying to figure out how blessing a person that exploits others is any better. That sounds pretty bad.

Trump allies prepare to infuse ‘Christian nationalism’ in second administration

Just a warning for those in the USA and what might come in the future should he get elected. Maybe some religious violence in-bound should he be elected?

As Trump support merges with Christian nationalism, experts warn of extremist risks

https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-support-merges-christian-nationalism-124003133.html

 

I'm kind of a forward thinker. But if Christian Nationalism or basically extreme evangelism becomes the US's national religion sorta kinda I guess. Our message will not be looked up kindly like at all. I'd love to watch a broadcast from someone like Bro. Herd or Bro. Lett telling us to, "Stand firm! Preach without let up! Do not fear what man can do for Jehovah is with you!" Oh I'd love it.

Interesting, this rise of "Christian nationalism"... ideal setting for BtG being kicked out of the Beast

[Mike047]

Can see the possibilities regarding Christendom, but not so easily for the others
