Prayers For The Pope

Re: Prayers For The Pope

Yet you now know that wasting your life being religious can't get you there, neither can good works, trying your best, holy communion, going to church or morality.

Millions of peope have tried all of these and failed; so at least you are a step ahead of them.

Why would god choose a pope that isn’t getting into heaven?

Re: Prayers For The Pope

What church do you attend?

An independent evangelical Church, which means we:-

1. Are not subject to any denominational body, like (for example) the *Baptist Union.
2. We teach the Bible and explain why man made traditions (dead religious practices) are fruitless.
3. Present Jesus Christ as the Way, the Truth and the Life.
4. Look to support the community with free lunch clubs, coffee mornings and quiz & curry evenings.
5. Aim to answer peoples questions about Life the Universe and everything via all means including social media.

Thanks for asking.

* I should point out that I have great respect for the majority of Baptist Churches and despite not being a Baptist myself I have spoken in a number of them over the years.

How do you know " your lot " is the best route to your version of valhalla ?

And that your preachers are the " top boys ? "

How do you know a person who was kind and went to church failed to get into Heaven ?

How can you make that statement ?

Have you been present when God has interviewed them ?

It's clearly nonsense

Free curry evenings to support the community sounds good.

But are they really free?

Is it Chicken Madras, nan bread and 2 hours of you bending their ears and hitting them over the head with an old book?

Re: Prayers For The Pope

I notice CCMB rules are in play here

Take the piss out of Christians, no problem.
other religuns, islam or another, you are an ist of some sort depending on the religun
as a non practicing Christian i couldn't give a friar tuck, it's the CCMB hypocrisy at play again and the usual suspects.
It wouldn't surprise me if the Pope hasn't already snuffed it but the announcement of his death
will be made public at a suitable time to deflect other news. ( e.g. a Trump peace deal for Ukraine) Cynical me?!!!
This fred is in the bank for future posts when the virtuos come calling with the isms. :wave:

What's a non practicing Christian? A Christian who isn't, or one that is such a natural that no training is required?

As to taking the piss, if we ever get a fundamentalist Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, religious Jew, Buddhist, or Jedi Knight carpet bombing this board in the way that Truthpaste does, there would be an equal amount of push back and righteous mockery. Only right!

A fair question (slightly concealed in the obligatory mocking).

Answer: The Curry Nights are purely social, other nights would include an open discussion where any questions can be posed; we also don't mock those who join in who have been told that 'science' provides all the answers and has the truth about humanity whereas God is wrong on most counts, including our origin. And any old book that's true is still true, just like any new science paper isn't necessarily true because it's really new!

So yes, the curry nights are 100% free.

I notice no one’s taking the mick out of yoga teachers or antique hat collectors either.

Is it fears of being cancelled? Or simply because there isn’t a hardcore headwear connoisseur posting extensively about their hobby on this board?

Heathblue is suffering from selective precis , it's simply not the case that Islam, Bhuddism , Hebrew or Student Goth are left alone

All of them are complete nonsense

It's curious that you seem to stereotype everyone on here as one, which is utter tosh.

For my part, I see Islam as far worse than what Christianity in The West has morphed into after centuries of cruelty. Although I visit mosques wherever I travel and show respect to its adherents the level of control over the locals is, in my opinion, frightening - and Muslim theocracies can be extremely controlling and intimidating too.

I consider that the current so-called culture wars exist as some people like to consider that there is only Camp A and Camp B and those two camps being at the opposite extremes.

However, there are many people inbetween those two points who see things in a more balanced fashion and appreciate nuance and complexity - and for my part I don't appreciate being dragged into such a binary concept as you suggest.

Like many people, you may find binary issues to be uncomfortable, as people like to sink into the fog that is grey, so that they can be invisible when it comes to where they stand:-

Millions don't like Trump's declaration of Male/ Female because in this and many other areas of life the grey area becomes less hassle, one where I don't have to stand up and explain why I think as I do.
When people gathered at Liverpool docks to hear the fate of their loved ones in 1912, the news finally came through that of its total of 2,240 passengers and crew, only 706 people survived. The majority perished. There were no grey areas.
It will be no different for you, me and the Pope. We will either be saved or we will perish.
