Shout GLORY!!!

[Kitchen Keepin]

My husband gave me this card after our formal dinner tonight. I had made chicken soup, cole slaw, pot roast with vegetables, and a pecan pie.



I hope my dear husband has not done something ungodly? Perhaps one of the pastors should spend some time counseling him.

[Pastor Ezekiel]

Shout GLORY!!!

[Faith_Machine]

Thank you for this much needed dose of truth, Pastor Zeke. I knew Valentine's Day was a Catholic racket, but I had no idea just how profoundly un-Christian it really was.

SATAN HAS REALLY SHOT HIMSELF IN THE HEAD WITH THIS ONE!

I was reading Galatians this morning where the error of observing "special" days is made quite plain. Yet for so many this pagan festival is something to look forward to! The Bible is clear that the oppisite is true: it is a bondage we have been released from.

from GALATIANS
3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
3:1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world..
8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
KJV .. look up

Imagine the single employee in a card factory. There she sits punching ornate lacework into cardboard hearts, creating syrupy poems about, lets face it, obsessional sex compulsions. Herself all alone and do we need to imagine her temptation to spit on each one? Of course we don't.

Punch, spit, punch, spit, this is exactly the sort of behaviour glorified by Sid Vicious and his nauseating girlf.

Free Market Fred would never tolerate such antics and neither should we. Because after work she is more inclined to yet another temptation: seeking a paramour of her own. At any Valentine saturnalia there we may see her. Standing alone with fluttering eyelid, inadequately dressed, seeking whom she may devour and in the relaxed atmosphere many of us will remember from our unsaved days why should she care who it was? Or how many? Pauper or prince it's all the same to her.

Satan has outcome in store for anyone following his demands in this. Luxury or squalor are no bulwark here and lust is never an excuse. God is clear. This path leads to HELL. FOREVER.

Good question.

Let me tell you.

You are right here in indicating that your american schools teach far too less about the vitas of the important Catholic saints.
It is sad, but it is never too late to learn.

It is also not mentioned in the Bible that you should follow the KJV only, and still your church is very strict to do so.
What can that mean?

The Romans called the festival the "Lupercalia." The custom of exchanging valentines and all the other traditions in honor of Lupercus -- the deified hero-hunter of Rome -- was also linked anciently with the pagan practice of teen-agers "going steady." It usually led to fornication. Today, the custom of "going steady" is thought very modern. It isn't. It is merely a rebirth of an old custom "handed down from the Roman festival of the Lupercalia, celebrated in the month of February, when names of young women were put into a box and drawn out by men as chance directed." That's the admission of the "Encyclopedia Americana", article, "St. Valentine's Day."

That is a false legend, and if you would have diven deeper into Catholic saint-history, you would have found out that the connection came about because traditionally birds are supposed to pair on St. Valentines feast day, februar 14th.
Surely you find nothing pagan in birds, since the Holy Spirit came down to Jesus at his baptizing in the form of a dove
It is a fact that in Austria the Erzbistum Mainz is in possession of very special holy reliquies : Eggs and Feathers from the Holy Spirit.

St.Valentine was a beloved bishop in rome and stands for love, as does in truth the whole body of the Catholic church

You must have no fear to choose your Valentine on his appointed feast Day, because the saint will surely bless you for that

[whorishwoman]

This is all true, I do find Valentines day to be a day of lust and sexual tension to us the yet to be properly saved
The temptation to fornicate on this day is great, which just proves this day is an abomination against Christ.


Galatians 5:16 - [This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

In my experience male birds do not lay eggs. Are you suggesting that Mary was a lesbian?

[Jim Farmer]

Catholic relics.
So I went searching for a picture of the supposed egg and feather from the Holy Ghost relic, but drew a blank. Maybe you have a picture you can show us. In the meantime, I came up with some pretty weird relics:

• Apparently there used to be so much of the 'virgin' Mary's breast milk in cathlick churches, John Calvin said about it “Had the virgin been a cow her whole life she could never have produced such a quantity.”
• Catherine of Siena's head and thumb:

Saint Catherine of Siena once received a vision that Jesus gave her a wedding finger made of his own holy foreskin. She died from a stroke aged 33 in Rome. However, the people of Siena wanted her body back for veneration. Realizing that they couldn’t take the entire body back, they cut off her head and placed it inside a sack.

• Jesus' foreskin

Also known as the Holy Prepuce, the earliest historical appearance of Jesus’ foreskin came when Charlemagne presented it to Pope Leo II in 800. Interestingly, most of the visions that relate to the Holy Prepuce were from female Saints; St Bridget claimed that she had orgasms when bits of foreskin were dropped on her tongue by an angel.

• Various other body parts of their 'saints' - feet, hands, fingers, hearts etc. These cathlick are macabre in the extreme.

But this verenation of relics is pagan. The boodists also treasure their relics eg: Booda's tooth and the mooslimb's love Muhamhead's cloak, beard and footprints.

Scholars are recognizing the Holy Spirit as the "female vehicle" for the outpouring of higher teaching and spiritual rebirth.
Also the hebrew word for Holy Spirit "ruach" is female.
Further I recommend as a Valentines gift the newest book of catholic apologist Scott Hahn : First Comes Love wherein he proposes that the Holy Spirit is to be adressed as female
http://www.scotthahn.com/scott-hahn-books.html#f_j
Now "Hahn" is the german word for "rooster".
And here you can watch about a rooster that lays eggs in Kannur
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Aj9Owq_W4qU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Now Kannur (kann nur) i german for "can only".

All this signs add up to the indication that the Holy Spirit must be a Rooster with a female side that lays eggs

That was my theological help for today, but @Jim Farmer I promise that we will debate about your foreskin thoroughly in the near future.

Grüss Gott and have a nice (Valentines) day

[Regens Kuechl]

Oh, Embed did not work. Here is the link to the rooster now:

I have never, I repeat never impersonated Jesus! Nor have I ever pretended that something of His (or anyone else's) is mine unlike your mackeral snapper friends. Roll your sleeves up and face me like a man, you pathetic child-molesting mouse!

Perhaps with the verbs trouble you are having? because nothing concerning Salvation needs to be discerned afresh and your tense suggests that this female entity is an emerging concept. Unless we had forgotten it of course.

Male and female are biological categories. A particular characteristic associated with males is the pouring forth. For females the flooding in.

Some languages have masculine and feminine nouns. That is called gender. But unfortunately for your case not all languages ascribe the same gender to the same nouns. One exception might be the French word for midnight where the sense of precisely the instant of midnight, what might be thought of as falling in between 2400hrs and 0000hrs, takes one gender and a more general idea of the middle of the night takes the other gender.

But the Holy Ghost is not a biological entity. Therefore you will need to make out a stronger case for your position.

[Regens Kuechl]

So following your womanly logic of only biological created beings having a gender you must also mean that the almighty god father is not male

That Jesus who sits at his right side is not male

Look at Jim Farmer who cant wait to debate the whereabouts of his foreskin with me.
Doesnt that tell you something?

How horrible what comes out of you my daughter

We, the Catholic church, know perfecly well why we will never allow women in our clergy and you are the typical proof that we are right.

Even with little boys can we Catholic priests work out better theology, among other things, than with (shudder) women.

Male is not a gender.

The gender is "masculine" and it is a characteristic of words. "Male" is a sex. There are two sexes. Male and female.

Genesis 1
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
KJV .. look up

You are being deliberately obtuse.

That Jesus who sits at his right side is not male.

Jesus is male. But Jesus is not created. I did not say that He was.

Philippians 2
5-8 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
KJV .. look up

Does that mean Jesus was created after all? No.

John 1
1-4 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men..
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
KJV .. look up

I am not "working out theology" but simply posting Scripture, in particular passages you seem not to have read.

I hope that is helpful.

[Pastor Ezekiel]

This pagan holiday cannot be tolerated by Christian people.

[H. Montague Worthington]

There is no love but God's love. The physical attraction between a man and a woman is nothing more than carnal lust, obviously a sin that will send you straight to hell for eternity. That's why it is best to date and marry someone who disgusts you physically, and whom you believe would need to wear a hood to successfully engage in procreation after marriage.

Happy Valentine's Day!

In Him,

Monty

[boogers]

You people are too repressed. Why don't you relax a little and let people believe and do what they want? No one is hurting by celebrating Pagan holidays. Why all the hate? I thought Jesus taught love, and St. Valentine's Day is all about love.

[Didymus Much]

They do all those things. They're just telling them that (according to the Bible) Jesus hates them for doing those things and will send them to Hell when He gets the chance, because Jesus tells them (in the Bible) to tell others that He hates them for what they're doing and will send them to Hell when He gets the chance. It's called "evangelizing".

...I thought Jesus taught love...

Love for those who love Him first. Everyone else? Not so much.

John 3:16-18 "16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

Seriously, read the Bible. Stop letting others tell you what it says & means.

I think you are an agent for Satan. Letting down our guard against sin is exactly what Satan wants us to do.
