CatholicsAreKewl Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Nuclear energy. Should we have? Yes? No? Maybe?
CatholicsAreKewl Posted May 30, 2013 Author Posted May 30, 2013 No Why not? It'd greatly reduce air pollution, no?
PhuturePriest Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 maybe I like how easily your opinions are changed. Your responses are also intellectually stimulating.
Guest Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) I'm confused....It don't take much...What is this thread about ? I thought it was about God being a gangsta but then its talking about nukes or something....Anyhow I remember watching some black pastor on tv giving a sermon talking about God is the biggest gangsta there is...It was interesting...Not saying I'm opposed to God being a 'g'...I mean if he is he is...G's up...

PhuturePriest Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Seeing as how "gangstas" do and sell illegal drugs, use prostitutes, sell prostitutes, kill, steal, and maim, I don't think God is in their ranks.
Guest Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 There could be good gangstas that don't do those things....
CatholicsAreKewl Posted May 30, 2013 Author Posted May 30, 2013 If God was a gangsta, he'd approve of nuclear energy.
PhuturePriest Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 There could be good gangstas that don't do those things.... The entire point of being in a gang is committing crime with a group of people.
CatholicsAreKewl Posted May 31, 2013 Author Posted May 31, 2013 The entire point of being in a gang is committing crime with a group of people. Not if you're in a holy gang.
PhuturePriest Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Not if you're in a holy gang. Name one gang that's holy. And you can't cheat. It has to be an actual street gang, not some answer like "Franciscan Friars".
CatholicsAreKewl Posted May 31, 2013 Author Posted May 31, 2013 Name one gang that's holy. And you can't cheat. It has to be an actual street gang, not some answer like "Franciscan Friars". Not all gangs are street gangs. Fr. Stan Fortuna is gangsta.
Guest Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) The music group called Gospel Gangstas made good christian rap in the late 90's....I used to have their music...Granted one of the members did go to prison for murder but things happen and God forgives...Cause He's good like that...

Anastasia13 Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 God is OG, and the prophets and apostles were his homies. Are you Allah's homie?
ChristinaTherese Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Name one gang that's holy. And you can't cheat. It has to be an actual street gang, not some answer like "Franciscan Friars". Well, there are the Sugar Creek Gang books. I think they sorta count, although I found them annoying and they were Protestant kids books. (Not saying that either all Protestant books or all kids books are bad, but they're not all great. Also, they were all boys and I might not have appreciated that. I don't really remember my reasons, I just couldn't stand them as a kid.) The use of the word gang there is because of a change in the meaning of the word over the decades, though, I think.
Anastasia13 Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) Seeing as how "gangstas" do and sell illegal drugs, use prostitutes, sell prostitutes, kill, steal, and maim, I don't think God is in their ranks. There are those so far from God that they will not be saved. They have blasphemed the holy spirit. Then there are those so lost they simply need God. Nicky Cruz was a Christian evangelist,, founder of the Nicky Cruz Outreach, an evangelistic Christian ministry. He was also once the director fo Teen Challenge, serving under David Wilkerson before founding another ministry home himself in California. Prior to his conversion he ws the leader of a New York City gang, the Mau-Maus. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicky_Cruz) 1 Cor. 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man, speaking by the Spirit of God, saith Anathema to Jesus. And no man can say the Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost. The entire point of being in a gang is committing crime with a group of people. No, it is often about community, a family if you don't have one, protection in a harsh world. Don't you know anything about the streets or is it that nice in your little town? People don't often set out to do crime, they are thrown into a world of hurt or be hurt (accentuated through the varied responses to safety and economics if say inner city vs. nice little suburbia) and seek protection from it. (Why would someone in prision join a prison gang if he had little chance to commit a crime there?) The exceptions are usually spoiled rich kids who don't know what the real world holds or think that it gets them the excitement they desire instead of something that really matters or that they will get the attention they desire and eventually power among their peers, or they bought into some commercialized aspect of cool. That is why gang intervention programs can work. http://www.lapdonline.org/top_ten_most_wanted_gang_members/content_basic_view/23473 Name one gang that's holy. And you can't cheat.

Here is where your holy gang is. http://www.machinegunpreacher.org/the-shekinah-fellowship-church/ http://www.shekinahfellowshipchurch.com/shekinah4.html The movie showed a haroin addicted friend of Sam Childer's who helped look after his wife and kid. This was actually a conglomerate of 5 people. Sam Childers became a preacher, and took a gun to Africa to protect orphans. Edited June 2, 2013 by Light and Truth
