Thank you, thank you--

I thought my computer was under someone else's control, like Satan! Lol!! Then I remembered--God does not let Satan have any control over those covered in Jesus' blood : ) I was determined to post my verses.

Yesterday, I could not post the response I had for Paul on the Catholic forum. I kept getting this *ouch* message. It read, invalid argument. I was like, huh? I never saw that before.

I ended up having to post several posts to get all the Scripture verses I had collected, to post. It looks like I was spamming their board or something.

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (CNN) -- Police said on Sunday they don't know why Terry Ratzmann, 44, burst into a Wisconsin church service and opened fire, killing seven people and then himself. Ratzmann stopped to reload his handgun during his assault Saturday on the Living Church of God service at a Sheraton Hotel in Brookfield, police said. No suicide note or other documents have been found, and there was nothing in his background "that would jump out, as to why he would have done this," said Brookfield police Capt. Phil Horter. Church members and relatives have told authorities that Ratzmann was facing some employment issues, Horter said, and that his employment might be "coming to an end, or was scheduled to end, in the very near future." Also, two weeks ago, Ratzmann apparently became angry at something that was said during a sermon and walked out of the room, Horter said. Ratzmann entered the service about 20 minutes after it began, police said, and uttered nothing before pulling out the gun and opening fire. He shot 22 rounds, stopping to reload an additional magazine into the handgun. A woman who witnessed the shootings, however, said Ratzmann did speak, telling worshippers he had three clips of ammunition and he intended to kill all of them -- and himself. Some church members who knew Ratzmann confronted him, telling him to stop and asking him why he was shooting, Horter said. Ratzmann apparently did not reply, but fired a few more rounds before fatally shooting himself. He was one of five people pronounced dead at the scene. Three others died later at a hospital, Brookfield police Chief Daniel Tushaus said.

well, i posted that article and it got cut. It does not seem to be a problem though, it's probably a preventive measure. You know how long you guys' posts can get, and the rules say you must cut them and make them shorter. But I guess with this new feature, the rule doesn't apply anymore

-- David Ortiz (cyberpunk1986@hotmail.com), March 14, 2005.

Instead of quoting people's whole statement, just cut them. I forgot what they are called... but the 3 little dots.. "like... this"

-- David Ortiz (cyberpunk1986@hotmail.com), March 14, 2005.

rod,

We all know that Satan is allowed to tempt us, and to try and deceive us. But nothing he does can be done without God's permission. Suffering for God to strengthen our faith, as like what happened with Job, is a different thing than believing that Satan can possess or control us [or our computer] against our will. As Christians, covered in Jesus blood--he does not have that power over us. The Scriptures say as much.

The lesson in the book of Job, that I come away with is that suffering and trouble in our lives is not an indication that we aren't right with God--as so many people think it must mean. There is still a school of thought that says suffering and hardship indicates that we are in sin. But Job kind of proves that that isn't always the case.

The demons asked Christ...so he sent them into a herd of swine which killed themselves by running over a clif...there is a precedent.

In 1888 the pope was granted a vision in which the devil stood before God and said that he could destroy His church within 100 yrs if God gave him more power. God said 'YOU SHALL HAVE IT'.

It seems the devil demands from God and He allows as He sees fit.

-- Ming (dot4@hotmail.co.uk), March 14, 2005.


What would Satan want with a God-less person? Satan will make his attempts to destroy those who believe. I'm not saying that he will succeed. I'm saying that the tempatations target believers because they have more to lose. It is funny. When one deman is cast out from the cleansed soul, more return to move in.

Here's my quote:

"We the people...the end."

I don't know what "deman" is. I meant "demon".

The prophecy you mentuioned, Ming, will already come to pass after this Pope. Already many churches in Boston,...and other cities are closing to pay for the child molestation suits.

More will close, Ming. The Catholic Church will be an afterthought in the next 100 years. Less than a million will be left.

-- Elpidio Gonzalez (egonval@yahoo.com), March 14, 2005.


Hi Rod, I didnt get this, I must be slow,.."We the people...the end."

...........

Elpidio,

Our Catholic ancestors were eaten by lions and will be again no doubt. But the Gates of hell will not prevail. So we remain, as always, cheerfull to the last bite.

-- Ming the Merciless (dot4@hotmail.co.uk), March 14, 2005.


Not this time Ming. God Yahweh has judged the Church he entrusted Jesus.

In a dream from July 2002 I was told the end will come. I saw old churches turned into apartments, new Protestant or otehr churches,....or simply abandoned.

I was told not to build on top of the Catholic Church.

The end will come Ming, this time.

Yahweh made promises to Moses, samuel, Isaiah, Jeremiah,... about his people Israel, yet, in the then he abandoned them from 70 AD-1948 AD.

There are about 16,000,000 Jews. The numbers continue to go down. They will never exceed 20,000,000. Yet, Jews have been on Earth almost as long as The Han Chinese. Compare the numbers.

The Christian Yahwist

Hi Ming.

I'm just being a pain. David wants us to use those "..." to abreviate any quotations we use. So, instead of posting the entire Preamble, I posted an abreviated version, just to mess around with David's recommendations.
