Re: And it is a WAR!

Is democracy mentioned in the Bible? With all the mentions of Kings, you'd think the favoured political system would be monarchy, no? Why would heathens and sinners be allowed to vote anyway? So surely it is a Christian democracy and not a Christian majority.

Actually God's preferred government is divinely chosen Judges. If we look at Deuteronomy 17:14-20 , God is pretty clear that choosing a King is a bad idea, but he also knew that the Israelite were going to do it anyway. If we look at 1 Samuel 8 the people demand that Samuel declare a King (which is funny because they wanted a king because they didn't like Samuel's sons). God also tells Samuel to inform the people of what kind of king they were going to get, but they were their standard hard-headed selves and demanded a king anyway.

AMEN! Isn't that the whole point of democracy? Everybody gets a vote, and the Christian majority makes the decisions. Just as God intended.

Re: And it is a WAR!

Do you know what God means when He says "neighbor"? Do you think He intended for us to be sweet and nice to islamofascists who want nothing less than the destruction of America? Do you think He meant we should invite sodomites over for pink tea parties to celebrate their depravity and offer them our children to molest? Or maybe you think God intended us to "love" hook-nosed joos, you know, the ones who KILLED CHRIST OUR LORD?!

I think otherwise. I am quite certain that Jesus was admonishing us to love our fellow True Christians™, not unsaved scum such as yourself.

By the way; in the future, if you want to actually quote the Holy Bible rather than paraphrase from it like a half-wit, you might find that you get taken a bit more seriously. Also, don't bother quoting verses out of context. In order to understand the Word of God, you have to study it from cover to cover.

John 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 8:45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

Just like to say before I crack on with dealing with the quoted post (as this is my first post here), that I'm convinced that this forum is a joke, and a ruddy hilarious joke at that!

Anyway, back on topic, 'joos' didn't kill Jesus, I love how the Romans manage to escape all responsibility for this, is it because the Roman civilisation no longer exists?

Is murdering 'islamofascists' allowed for Christians? I didn't realise the ten commandments came with a long list of exceptions, of which 'islamofascists' surely wouldn't be on the list. Oh and why we're on the commandment about murder, is it kill or murder? (You see this is the problem with quoting the Bible, it's like quoting the dictionary, there are so many versions you can't get the same quote in two versions, which one is right? The original I would presume, but how do you know yours is the original? Oh dear, I think I've got myself into a right pickle!)

Oh and to stay on topic, Christmas came about from a Roman festival (Sol Invictus, or Dies Natalis Solis Invicti) and is a celebration of the winter solstice, you see for the Romans to sell the religion of Christianity to it's subjects, it couldn't take away the festivals (the people would cry blue murder!), so it changed the meanings of them, simples!

And sorry to bang on and on! But I just have a question about your signature, who exactly come under the category of 'Sorcerers' that they are condemned to hell immediately?

They call it Christmas, but for most of them it's more about Satan Santa and his minions rather than Jesus.

Sounds about right, Brother. Much like Christmas in the US. "Gimme gimme gimme" is the whole point, right?

Chilliwack school board puts the Christ back in Christmas

Chilliwack school trustees stirred up controversy at Tuesday’s board meeting when they unanimously passed a motion to call the school vacation in December the Christmas holidays.
The break is currently referred to as the winter vacation on the school district calendar, but trustee Martha Wiens said that’s not what the holiday is about.
“We’re not having a holiday because it’s winter,” she said.
“We are having a holiday because it’s Christmas, so why not just say what it is.”
The school district has used the religiously neutral “winter vacation” because that is what’s used on the Ministry of Education calendar, according to superintendent Corrine McCabe, but it was unclear at the meeting whether that meant the district was legally required to use the name for the break.
Trustee Heather Maahs, who introduced the motion, favoured changing the name first and asking questions later.
“I say let’s take a walk on the wild side, and unless the legislation says we’re not allowed to call it Christmas, let’s call it Christmas,” she said.
Trustee Doug McKay said he personally preferred to call the break Christmas, but added his vote only after expressing reservations about the inclusiveness of the name.
“Christmas is a Christian holiday,” he said, “and we are more than just a Christian school district.
“We are a public school district and provide education for all religions and groups.”
As for the legal implications, McKay said the board would know soon enough if it had taken a misstep.
“There will be people out there that will very quickly share with us that we cannot do it,” he said.
Those people were close at hand.
Before the end of the meeting, the board was blasted for its decision by both Chilliwack Teachers’ Association president Katharin Midzain and District Parent Advisory Council president Kirsten Brandreth.
“I feel that we are going backward versus forwards,” said Brandreth.
“You’re recognizing that people get a couple of weeks off for the birth of Christ, and I think that we have to be very sensitive that within our community there are many other beliefs . . . so I feel that it has been a very insensitive decision.”
Midzain said the board’s decision slams anyone in the community who doesn’t celebrate Christmas, and she dismissed an argument by Wiens that businesses have no problem using the word Christmas in their advertising.
“It doesn’t really matter that the stores are advertising Christmas sales and everything else, because we are supposed to uphold a higher degree of tolerance than a merchant in our community,” she said.
Maahs was undeterred.
“I say we sacrifice too much as a society when we bend to political correctness,” she said after the meeting, “and I think the vast majority of people are just fine with it being Christmas as opposed to winter vacation.”
Trustee John-Henry Harter was absent and did not take part in the vote.

Jeremiah was a prophet. Of course he knew.

Re: Christians & Christmas (And it is a WAR!)

When the holy prophet Jeremiah asked God about Cathlix celebrating Christmas, He responded:

Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. (Jeremiah 10:2-5)

Modern biblical scholars understand this to refer not just to Christmas, but to everything Cathlix do.
