Not much signs of the New Birth and things that accompany salvation such as grace, love, longsuffering, patience, love of the brethren, love for the church and the Lord's people from Albert!!!! Maybe if he actually read the word of God and studied the life of Christ he would have more signs of christian virtues in his own life and opinions... I would commend 1 Cor 13... and then James 1:19-20.
GG It makes Pharoah and egyptian, and John Paul a Pope....
But St Patrick was NOT a Roman Catholic.... Get your facts right.. NOT a Roman Catholic.... Make sure your facts are right before you comment!!!! You are getting a bit of a reputation for false facts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe that "former terrorists" would be the correct way to describe some of the Sinn Fein members of goverment... Just as the same title would aptly fit some of the DUP members.
The war is over... those who terrorised others on both sides of this community must forgive and forget and move on together for a better future..
I wonder what Rev Hamiltons way forward for Ulster would be?
He of course is a member of the North American presbytry... But still has an expert opinion of how Dr Paisley should proceed in the political life of Ulster.. Maybe he could come home and help to sort out all the problems by his expert opinions and advice... It seems that he would Never believe anyone about their commitment to peace... Ane that the Church of Ireland the Presbyterian and the Methodist church would never believe "the Gospel we preach" anyway..
So according to the good Rev Hamilton there is no hope for us in Ulster... Very encouraging !!!!!!
There is no hope for Ulster while bitter, bigoted people refuse to show any grace or longsuffering towards those whom they think are their enemies...
The Only way forward is dialoge between the opposing parties.. After all.... All have sinned!!! and All have been guilty of murder in the heart... "Shall the sword devour forever"???
In responce to globalism I would say the first proposition seems the most resonable. Civil War would be a fruitless effort. I do not see America turning into a third world nation, we have (Texas as well)an ability to sustain ourselves without looking overseas. I must say I'm not sure I understand fully the first proposition. Authority. I believe Christ is the ultimate authority. I believe in doctrine that was put most clearly during the Reformation, yet was always followed in some form. Being very simplistic I see the need that our relationship to Christ person is just as significant as our relationship to His doctrine. I'm not taking your side, but some of us can be so very wrap up in our doctrinal stance, that we become offensive to anyone who would oppose it.(I speak from experience)For any ill traetment I apologize. We certiantly have diffrent beliefs but I think it is good for you to visit this web page.
Your comments are very interesting. I very much agree about the American Politicians being globalist. With the world growing small through technology, what alternatives do you see? (By the way I am no fan of globalism) About Catholicism I disagree. It's been awhile since my history of Christianity coures but I believe the present view of Cahtolicism began with an despute between the bishop of Mullan(sp?) and the bishop of Rome. How can you defend the succession of a man to Peter, yet not the succession of Christian principles? This was never to be the case. Those who followed these principles can be traced back beyond the 16th century.
