Some people who claim to "know" things know nothing at all. I have
nothing against "Catholics" I just think their religion stinks!

Well, in fact Al, believing that Catholicism stinks is having something
against Catholics. I certainly uphold your right to your opinions, even
your right to express your opinions, that is why I read your posts and
that is what America is all about.


The point is they worship Mary when God says to worship Him.

They call their priests father, holy father and most holy father when
Christ says call NO MAN father on this earth because Christians have a
HEAVENLY FATHER.

What's the matter Al, don't you have (or didn't you have, if he is
deceased) an earthly father? Indeed I would imagine that most "born
again" Christians have fathers, not limited to the one of which you
speak.

The problem with your following comments Al is that I don't hate you, you
hate me. You essentially are describing your feeling towards Catholics,
you hate and revile them, therefore they are "Blessed". Thanks for your
tacit endorsement. Think about it Al, you and others of your ilk hate and
revile a specific group, so they must indeed be blessed.

Al, don't martyr yourself. I think that you enjoy the harsh comments that
other posters make against you. You believe that this empowers you
somehow, and that you are doing the good work. In some ways you are, but
you are allowing yourself to be consumed by hatred, and you know that it
is in direct contravention to God's laws.

Luke 6:29-31 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)

And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and
him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.

Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy
goods ask them not again.

And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.


Luke 6:35 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)

And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for
sinners also do even the same.

And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye?
for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.

But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing
again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of
the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.



Al, how much, other than self imposed martyrdom, are you implementing the
above verses? I suspect Al that you are not interested in God's words,
but in those of Al Patrick, Brother Stair, and Pastor Peters. You cannot
be a Godly man filled with hatred, there is no such thing.

God Bless (seriously) Al, and regards.

P.S., where's your answer to my post listed below? You are a rascally
one, you keep avoiding addressing these issues.



The list could go on for page after page after page.

Go down to the woods and get yourself a stick, or go to Home Depot and
get a board. Make yourself a nice paddle and stir all the stink you
like.

Lu 6:22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall
separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out
your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.

Mt 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you,
and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.


1 John 4:20 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for
he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God
whom he hath not seen?

Or:

Luke 6:27-38 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)

But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them
which hate you,

Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use
you.

And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other;
and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.

Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away
thy goods ask them not again.

And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them
likewise.

For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners
also love those that love them.

And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye?
for sinners also do even the same.


Exodus 28:4 (King James Version)
And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and
an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle:
and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his
sons, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine
linen.
And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of
scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work.
And the curious girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of
the same, according to the work thereof; even of gold, of blue, and
purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.


"#4: Clothed in Purple and Red
Hunt states, "She [the Whore] is clothed in 'purple and scarlet'
(verse 4), the colors of the Catholic clergy." He then cites the
Catholic Encyclopedia to show that bishops wear certain purple
vestments and cardinals wear certain red vestments.

Hunt ignores the obvious symbolic meaning of the colors-purple for
royalty and red for the blood of Christian martyrs. Instead, he is
suddenly literal in his interpretation. He understood well enough
that the woman symbolizes a city and that the fornication symbolizes
something other than literal sex, but now he wants to assign the
colors a literal, earthly fulfillment in a few vestments of certain
Catholic clergy.

Purple and red are not the dominant colors of Catholic clerical
vestments. White is. All priests wear white (including bishops and
cardinals when they are saying Mass)-even the pope does so.

The purple and scarlet of the Whore are contrasted with the white of
the New Jerusalem, the Bride of Christ (Rev. 19:8). This is a problem
for Hunt for three reasons: (a) we have already noted that the
dominant color of Catholic clerical vestments is white, which would
identify them with New Jerusalem if the color is taken literally; (b)
the clothing of the Bride is given a symbolic interpretation ("the
righteous acts of the saints;" 19:8); implying that the clothing of
the Whore should also be given a symbolic meaning; and (c) the
identification of the Bride as New Jerusalem (Rev. 3:12, 21:2, 10)
suggests that the Whore may be old (apostate) Jerusalem-a contrast
used elsewhere in Scripture (Gal. 4:25-26).

Hunt ignores the liturgical meaning of purple and red in Catholic
symbolism. Purple symbolizes repentance, and red honors the blood of
Christ and the Christian martyrs.

It is appropriate for Catholic clerics to wear purple and scarlet, if
for no other reason because they have been liturgical colors of the
true religion since ancient Israel.

Hunt neglects to remind his readers that God commanded that scarlet
yarn and wool be used in liturgical ceremonies (Lev. 14:4, 6, 49-52;
Num. 19:6), and that God commanded that the priests' vestments be
made with purple and scarlet yarn (Ex. 28:4-8, 15, 33, 39:1-8, 24,
29)."

"The Greek word in this passage is horos. Of the sixty-five
occurrences of this word in the New Testament, only three are
rendered "hill" by the King James Version. The remaining sixty-two
are translated as "mountain" or "mount." Modern Bibles have similar
ratios. If the passage states that the Whore sits on "seven
mountains," it could refer to anything. Mountains are common biblical
symbols, often symbolizing whole kingdoms (cf. Ps. 68:15; Dan. 2:35;
Amos 4:1, 6:1; Obad. 8-21). The Whore's seven mountains might be
seven kingdoms she reigns over, or seven kingdoms with which she has
something in common."
