Is MoreCoffee suggesting that the USA should Muzzle-ini itself?

A little imprecision goes a long way. But fortunately, so does a modicum of precision. In Post #25, much Scripture containing the word “father” or “fathers” was presented in an attempt to negate the points made in Post #24 which demonstrated that the title “pope” (meaning “father”) was neither...

Post #16: “Haahaaa, who's peter anyway?” Post #17: “He's the pope!” Actually, “pope” in English comes from “papa” in Latin and “pappas” in Greek, meaning “father”. Jesus commanded quite clearly, “call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.” (Matthew...

Post #22: “Wait wait hold the both there hollywood, did you just say that french Moses basically said "Jesus" sent him? Jumping snakes batman! Thats wild ” Pharaoh: "tell me, who is he who sent you?" French Moïse (Moses): "Je Suis!" Spanish Moisés : “Yo soy!” German Moses : “Ich bin!” Chinese...

At first, Pedrito couldn’t remember whether or not the Anglican church he attended as a youth rang bells or not. But after he thought about it for a while, it started to ring a bell.

From Post #12 on Page 2: Readers may find that a squiz at the following web pages may show the above statement to be a little hollow. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/09/08/annulments-celebrities-catholic-church/71874694/ (If any survey request pops up, it can be skipped.)...

From Post #1, as an example of God’s humour: That may not quite gel. Pharaoh spoke Egyptian. God gave His name in Hebrew. Let’s transfer the scene to say, a French Moses in an English dominated area. Pharaoh: "tell me, who is he who sent you?" Moïse (Moses): "Je Suis!"...

Isn’t it amazing? When the doctrine sets held by churches that people attend cannot answer simple questions about those doctrines when they are stated, the questions are simply ignored. It’s better to ignore them, than admit there are gaping holes in the doctrines of the churches people give...

Imalive, in Post #15 on Page 2, in reply to Pedrito’s “Actually, if same-sex marriages are legalised, church priests and ministers will be forced to perform same-sex marriages, and caterers will be forced to provide specialised wedding cakes and the like. Once that change of law is in place (if...

MoreCoffee, Post #3: Post #12: Are the marriages of people who have entered into only civil marriages, recognised by God as valid marriages? If so, then the Catholic Church should recognised them as such as well. If not, then the Catholic Church should ban people who are thus...

One could say that God’s humour runs deep. Isaiah 14:12-14 is seen by many to be a window opening up, giving us a glimpse of Satan and his desires. Isaiah 14:12-14: “12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the...

There was a time (which may be continuing) when Evangelical churches were strongly pushing the idea that the Rapture was imminent and could occur at any time. Pedrito remembers one preacher challenging his audience (sorry, the congregation he was preaching to) with the question, “What would you...

It looks like Pedrito missed it. It’s after midnight here now. So it’s Sunday already. He knew he shouldn’t have taken that nap yesterday arvo. (Check dictionary.com if you don't know what arvo means.)

And then we have the sermons about the Return that Pedrito was exposed to when he was haunting “Evangelical” circles. The ones based on: Matthew 24:30: “And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of...

She preyed upon someone whose state of mind made them susceptible to influence. People who send suicide bombers to their fate prey upon people whose state of mind makes them susceptible to influence. Maybe Pedrito is missing something.

There was once a book titled “88 Reasons Why the Rapture Will Be in 1988”. That didn’t work. Pedrito would want to see at least 89 reasons listed before he contemplated changing his plans for Sunday.

Post #2: Very true. ============================================================================================== Mark 14:62: “And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.” Mark 16:19: “So then after the Lord...

Maybe to some degree, it’s not so much a matter of what you have, but rather what you still want.

Once again, Pedrito is puzzled. Post #3: Don’t serious Christians (as opposed to nominal Christians) go to Heaven when they die? Isn’t Heaven a much more pleasant place to be than this troublesome Earth we find ourselves stuck on? Can we not number the Lutheran contributors to this forum...

Pedrito understands that this thread pertains to racism in the USA. However, he begs a modicum of indulgence. The situation is a little different in Australia. The two things that have prominence in that country pertain to the original inhabitants (not being addressed here) and a religion...
