One Thing About Budge

[XIX]

You can't accuse her of being lukewarm.

[MIKolbe]

The demons weren't lukewarm either.

They also had Faith Alone.

[Resurrexi]

Is Budge a her or a him?

That is not nice. As a convert [who has a very large family of devout protestants] I say you cannot judge what you do not understand. How much do you understand Budge, what she/he has been taught and for how long this has been taught to her/him? I've been on both sides of the walk. Budge is asking questions, challenging, and wanting proof. Let's do our best to show our faith without this kind of stuff OK?

I do not consider my beloved Southern Baptist grandparents to be demons either. They departed this world a long time ago, but if it weren't for them taking me to church I would not have known God.

[Budge]

You have complimented me.

Thanks:)

Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.[/size]

I dont want to be in that position and dont want anyone else facing that wrath of God either.

[Eutychus]

Well, Budge, THEY seem to think that being an "Upchuck Chrisitian" [ I will spue thee out ] is the way to go?

: : If you want to see "Lukewarm" [I will spue thee out ] go to any Mass about 30 seconds after the Mass ends. As one person quipped, the most dangerous place to be in any town, is between the Vestible and the parking lot after a Catholic Mass!!

What a very "cold" thing to say, and how very untruthful. Theres not one sheard of logic in your entire statement. Its just a big joke that aint even funny, kinda hum smells of elderberries. Dont quit your day job.

Sure I feel the same way about you. We must live radically for Christ and be willing to go to all ends and sacrifice even that which is most important to us (see Abraham and the offering of Issac).

[Justified Saint]

This is a commonly misunderstood verse used to support religious emotionalism, fanaticism and fundamentalism. However, nothing could be further from the truth.

I could tolerate someone like that, but the thing is I don't think Budge cares at all for "asking questions" and "wanting proof". All of her questions have already been answered and all the proof and evidence collected. In her mind the verdict has been reached and the case is closed and she won't "budge" on that.

Man, I gotta go with him on the danger level in post Mass parking lots.

It can get pretty vicious.

I believe it was a Catholic who said that.

[homeschoolmom]

The dangerous place in our parish is the path down to the dining hall for donuts and fellowship... but maybe that's just our parish....

[stbernardLT]

I think having a relatively small capacity for the actual truth, and not being opened to hearing it can be a form of "lukewarm".

[Norseman82]

How much up would an upchuck chuck if an upchuck could chuck up?

I was not meaning to be mean. Just the original post made it appear that, in and of itself, not being lukewarm was a good thing. I disagreed with that, as the demons were not lukewarm....

i was not equating him/her with the devil, or with demons...

i meant no disrespect. My apologies if offended.

JMJ,

She's already professed that she was formerly a Professer of the Only True Faith, but then comitted heresy by denying many of Holy Mother Church's Dogmata.

The world sees those who are on fire for Christ {living the life God calls Christians too, witnessing, being seperated from the world,} as geniuses and fanatics. But this is to be expected. This is what Jesus taught would happen.

1Jo 3:13
Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. [Or thinks youre a nut, fanatic, etc]

[Winchester]

Kind of like how the modern world hates Catholicism.

[Budge]

Yeah....so terrible...

Of Course. Thus, we are despised by Planned Parenthood, Hollywood, NARAL, NOW, the UN, Democrats, PFLAG, Communists, Fascists, Nazis, Secularists, Relativists, and the list goes on.

Budge,

I say this as kindly and gently as possible -the exclamation point is rather spamlike and led me to think you were just a spammer. As you have legitimate questions and concerns, you might consider a more subtle signature. If you're interested, go over to the "Open Mike" page under the "New Signature" thread and tell them what you like (a painting, photo, quote, whatever --perhaps somthing attractive, interesting, or inspiring).

Blessings.
