Re: Today in Christ

So basically, Galileo denounced God’s Word that the Earth was the centre of the Universe and was, as a Catlick, destined for Hell in any case. However, he fell into the hands of the Antichrist whose agenda of deception encompassed that part of God’s Word regarding the Creation, which he had done so as to add verisimilitude to his other deceptions.

Galileo then gets house arrest until his death in 1642 and, nevertheless, refuses to accept KJV 1611 as the inerrant word of God.

On February 15, 1990, one Cardinal Ratzinger (anyone know this man?) cited some current views on the Galileo affair as forming what he called "a symptomatic case that permits us to see how deep the self-doubt of the modern age, of science and technology goes today." And if anyone knows what that means, please drop me a line.
Ratzinger continued with a quote from Feyerabend,

“The Church at the time of Galileo kept much more closely to reason than did Galileo himself, and she took into consideration the ethical and social consequences of Galileo's teaching too. Her verdict against Galileo was rational and just and the revision of this verdict can be justified only on the grounds of what is politically opportune.” Ratzinger did not clearly indicate whether he agreed or disagreed with Feyerabend's assertions. He did, however, say "It would be foolish to construct an impulsive apologetic on the basis of such views".

On 31 October 1992, Pope John Paul II expressed regret for how the Galileo affair was handled, and officially announced that the Earth was not stationary, thus falling into the same trap as Galileo… Ratzinger has yet to say anything.

As the Antichrist knows that the earth is the centre of Creation, I suspect he’ll come out and say it.

Re: Today in Christ

Galileo was frustrated. A web of deceit and hatred had closed around him. As the sixty-nine year old man faced the Inquisition on this day, June 22, 1633, he hoped to get at least two changes in the statement his judges insisted he sign. "Do not make me say I have not been a good Catholic," he pleaded, "for I have been one and will remain one no matter what my enemies say. And I will not say that I intended to deceive anyone, especially with the publication of my book. I submitted it in good faith to the church censors and printed it only after legally obtaining a license."

The judges agreed. They rewrote the words of his "confession"--as they should have been. For, as Galileo knew, most of the men who were sentencing him held his same opinions--that the earth spun on its axis and orbited the sun.

With the new injunction before him, Galileo knelt and repeated the words demanded of him. He was strongly "suspected of heresy." He had "held and believed that the Sun is the center of the world and immovable and that the Earth is not the center and moves..."

Galileo was then forced to sign another statement. "I, the said Galileo Galilei, have abjured [renounced], sworn, promised and bound myself as above; and in witness of the truth thereof I have with my own hand subscribed the present document of my abjuration and recited it word for word at Rome, in the convent of the Minerva, this twenty-second day of June, 1633."

This is one of the most famous trials in history. The papist takes all the blame for the fiasco of justice that took place that day in Rome. It had the effect of branding the Roman Catholic Church as anti-science.

There is no doubt the papist church was in the wrong. A commission formed by the dead Pope John Paul II in the 1980s admitted as much.

June 5, 1851: Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin began publication as a 40-week serial. This was a milestone in the development of cafeteria Christianity, as Stowe's bizarre version of "Christian love" directly contradicted what Scripture clearly and repeatedly says about slavery.

May 28, 1830: President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act, which abolished affirmative action and other special rights for the Injins and compelled them to return their pre-stolen land so that God's favorite nation could expand.

Praise Jesus! Another important event that occurred on the same day follows:

May 28, 1954: President Dwight D. Eisenhower signs a bill adding the words "under God" to the Pledge of Allegiance

Re: Today in Christ

May 27, 1564: John Calvin, French Protestant Reformer, dies. He kept writing and ministering to the Christians in Geneva nearly up to his death, telling his worried friends, "What! Would you have the Lord find me idle when he comes?"

Praise Jesus! That's the attitude I'd like to see from a few more of the pastors around here.

Glory to you Jesus! I'm hard at work for you every hour of every day!!

Re: Today in Christ

May 23, 1498: Savonarola was executed in Florence. His contributions to the faith included nudging the Roman Catholic institution in the direction of True Christianity™, taking a righteous stand against homerism and the satanically inspired Renaissance, and reorganizing Florence as a Christian republic, or in other words a precursor to our own Jesusland. For his death, we can thank His Unholiness Pope Alexander VI, who is doubtless the patron "saint" of the Romanist "fathers" on this board.

Re: Today in Christ

May 20, 325: Emperor Constantine convenes the first Ecumenical Council in Nicea (now Iznik), Bithynia, to discuss Arianism, a heresy arguing that Christ was subordinate to God the Father. "I entreat you," Constantine said at the opening of the Council of Nicea, "to remove the causes of dissension among you and to establish peace." The council attempted to resolve the bitter conflict by anathematizing Arius (Arianism's founder) and ordering the burning of all his books, but the conflict continued to rage for decades.

And thus begins the formation of the papist dynasty of devil worship. Thank God for Landover Baptist Church!

Re: Today in Christ

April 22, 1864: The motto "In God We Trust," conceived during the Civil War, first appears on American coinage.

And praise Jesus for that day! The only way the atheists are going to get that motto off our American money is by prying it out of my cold, dead hands!

Re: Today in Christ

April 10th 1960 The Civil Rights Bill becomes an Act. The Federal Government thus continued a long tradition of interfering in the affairs of individual States. The main thrust was to enable nigras to vote unmolested – or to put it another way, to prevent the free speech and lawful canvassing of support by whites and thus damage the whole democratic process.

As a result of the Act, the number of blacks registered to vote at the 1960 election was a staggeringly huge 3% up on the figure for the previous election, although actually slightly fewer voted in 1960 compared with the '56 elections. Good Old Ike!

April 7, 1541: Spanish founder of the Jesuits Francis Xavier, 35, and three friends set sail from Lisbon, Portugal for Goa. They became the first Roman Catholic missionaries to travel to India.

Which explains the plight of the hindoos there till this very day.

Praise God, for in His mercy He spared us of decades of troublemaking by that particular communist boy.

For all the details on the false legacy of this coon, take a look at THIS site.

As the FBI so wisely said, King was "the most dangerous Negro to the future of this nation from the standpoint of communism, the Negro, and national security".

Re: Today in Christ

It is beyond me how anyone can deny that God destroyed New Orleans, and that He did it because of Negro sin. The place was a literal Hell-hole of voodoo and sodomy. It was begging for divine vengeance. The survivors should be thanking God every second of every day that the Gulf of Mexico isn't an enormous meteor crater today.

I, too, laughed at the footage of dozens of dusky corpses, their souls departed to the Lake of Fire, floating in the streets like so many turds in a toilet bowl. No doubt they split Hell wide open.

Re: Today in Christ

Funniest tragedy?

please say why

You forgot Hurricane Katrina! Of course, any tragedy that strikes an unsaved person is funny--we know that from Proverbs 1:24-26:

Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh.

But God must laugh just a little bit harder when a tragedy strikes a sinful nest of vipers like New Orleans.
