HEAVEN or HELL?

I glean from your earlier post that you think you're going to Heaven or something.

Hi all, greetings from the emerald isle. Having been born into a very religious catholic family and being a firm believer of the goodness of God and the holiness of all his creations, i find the beliefs associated with this forum alien to what my understanding of what a good christian is or what God is. The way God is described here on this forum is more like the devil than the beauty and holiness of the God that i know and love. Why is God so evil to you? The questions asked here are bordering on ugliness and pure ignorance. Jesus would be ashamed of you.

I wondered since you claimed to be “a firm believer of the goodness of God” whether you'd left the congregation that proclaims God a liar—not normally associated with goodness—until you blurted:

The franciscans wear hoodies and Jesus more than likely wore a similar attire, so that should answer that.

And it does. I checked a Franciscan site and found some lugubrious idol together with the following blurb:

_http://www.clintonfranciscans.com/our-franciscan-way-francis-and-clare.html
The logo for the Clinton Franciscans is a figure of the "Tau" within a double circle. The "Tau" is a traditional Franciscan symbol whose origin is in the Old Testament. St. Francis used the Tau to sign his name. On one of his journeys to Rome to talk to Pope Innocent III about his new Order, he stopped for Mass at the Church of St. John Lateran. Legend holds that there he heard this reading from Ezekiel, 9:4-6

"Pass through the city [Jerusalem] and mark an X [tau] on the foreheads of those who moan and groan over all the abominations that are practiced within it. To the others I heard him say: 'Pass through the city after them and strike! ...Old men, youths and maidens, women and children, wipe them out. But do not touch anyone marked with the X [tau]."

a Franciscan idol

Really? I have read Ezekiel and didn't recall anything about tau crosses. Just for reference I'll mention that TAU is a Greek letter and it doesn't look like an X.

• tau ·· Τ τ
• chi ·· Χ χ

Ezekiel 9:4-6b KJV
..Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark..

So they just made that bit up.

WARNING:::MULTIPLE IDOLS:::(if anyone looks up the following reference)

Here is the Douay-Rheims false translation of Ezekiel 9 if anyone wants to see their source and boy don't things just get worse! As it happens there is a Hebrew letter with a similar name, maybe that looks like a headless cross?

Hebrew letter ת (sometimes said to look like a tent)

The Bible records an important message for mankind, the most important message ever: how to avoid extermination in the lake of fire and everlasting torment. Franciscans are a variety of monk and monks spend time studying The Bible. They claim to be “the faithful ones of the Lord” to quote that site and although people can dream up anything they like or make out that God has obscured His important message so that only advanced scholars can understand it, what He says is actually very straightforward. That hideous idol, for instance [RIGHT]. Here is what God commands about making such images, regardless of whether anyone worships or venerates or bows before the thing, and God is very clear.

Exodus 20:4 KJV
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

And yet there they are, plonked on the Franciscan site, plastered all over the Douay-Rheims page by page, the very opposite of what God has commanded and yet they claim to be faithful? Faithful to what?

Parklife, you exemplify such ignorance. God is very well described; if deciding that the descriptions need correcting or sanitising in some way or are flat out wrong then why continue to indoctrinate children in what are lies? Moon worshippers disbelieve The Bible and set up moon idols all over the place. Atheists, cannibals, witchdoctors, none of them claim to be faithful which at least is honest. They might know what God has explained or how He has been described and either don't care or announce that Exodus is contradicted by something else (archæology is often cited) but how as a catholic can you believe in the goodness of God yet say that in Exodus He was telling lies? Why not give it up altogether?

But perhaps I'm mistaken so in your introduction if you could give an example of where catholicism does heed God's important message that would be great and we can welcome you to the forum there.

Are you saved?

This must be a rhetorical question, brother. Anyone who would induct Jesus into the crips and the bloods in a single post is clearly unsaved. I long for the day that Christ sweeps us up to Heaven and the booming voice of God commands the seven plagues be released on the heathens who mock their creator day and night.

Please post the Scripture that backs up your claim.

Franciscans, as you call them, are the same Romans who crucified sweet Jesus up on Golgotha. Their attire is similar to many street gangsters who infest the cities of America today. Jesus certainly did not dress up like some Roman monk and I resent the implication that He was a common bone thug. I don't get the thrust of your seemingly aimless comment. You seem angry. Are you saved?

In the US, we wear them to keep warm.

That is simply not true. I have it on great authority that America is a hot place. Have you even seen one cowboy movie?

Hoodies are for people to hide their shame. These folks (I'm not saying that they are coloureds) are always shuckin and jiving away from the police or getting strangled or some such and they ALWAYS wear hooded tops.

Please don't be so naive about the politics in your own country

The irony here is that you won't need your precious hoody to keep warm IN HELL!

Brother, the gaping logical holes in the atheist rival in size only the gaping wounds their delicate little backsides will have once Satan gets unrestricted access for ever and all eternity.

August and 90 degrees, yep, need to stay warm!!

If you hit one with your car at 3:00 AM, cause he was lurking in the shadows away from any street lights, wearing his BLACK hoodie to match the darkness, while he was jogging (right!), it is not your fault!!

Police will find pry bars, lock picking stuff, latex gloves, a LOOT bag, etc.

You will probably be thanked for your good deed!

They look cold is what they look like.

Welcome friend. If there were cold, they would be wearing sensible mittens.

I think you should read our syllabus for new posters as written by Pastor Billy-Reuben. It really explains all you need to know as far as our beliefs. It also outlines what is expected as far as your behavior on these forums.

Here are your rights as articulated by Dr. Enobarbus.

New members are requested to make an introduction for themselves.

We always encourage everyone to back up all claims with scripture from the Holy Bible.

Greetings friend. Welcome to our Godly forums!

Seeing you are a new member we'd ask that you introduce yourself here. We'd like to get to know you.

Re: HOODIES - THE CLOTHING OF SATANISTS, CRIMINALS AND FREAKS !

Why do you feel the need to hide your face from God? What're you trying to hide?

Also, here we see groups of hoodie-wearing Anglicans plotting against Christ. Do these Anglicans look trustworthy to you?

They look cold is what they look like.

If anyone is the freak, its you people. Hell, you're not even technically allowed to go to the restroom! So you're all sinners no matter what. I also suppose that makes your children the spawn of satan, who's hormones lead them to think often about lewd ideas. I'd rather be warm now with a hoodie than burn in 'hell'. God says to love one another, while you do the COMPLETE opposite. You are blind in your faith, and don't deserve him. Your child may be secretly gay, so I guess you'll just have to push him/her away. I pity you all. The world needs less people, or should I say sinners, freaks, weirdos, and baggages like you. You have caused so much pain, and death to young people, and even adults. And there is no shred of shame in your distasteful existence.

Also, Hannah Bond's stupid and horrible parents LET her cut instead of getting help when they knew about her 'emo cuts'. I feel no sympathy for her, and MCR does the opposite of what she did; I know this for a fact because their music saved me in time of need when your Oh So POWERFUL 'God' didn't.

Papist Scum monks wear them. That's all the proof I need that they are the garments of Lucifer.
