...Now, for those in full-time Christian service, as Jesus and His Twelve were, they didn't have time to interact with their wives or children at night...Also, the cost of running a family with 5-6 children makes it nearly impossible to be a full-time Protestant pastor in the average congregation of 80-100 persons. More divided loyalty. Should we all strive to imitate Christ?...he led a single celibate preacher's life. He was *always* available to rebuke, console, heal, teach and love...

AlexanderHenderson1647, you are so observant. What I said obviously caused a question mark in your mind and everyone else's mind that is reading this interchange between you and I, for what we say is obviously not between just you and I: Did I read your comment. Well I will be happy to inform you and everyone else that you are so obviously concerned with: Yes, I did read your comment.
Thank you for invitation to "Please try again".
As to "THE POINT OF THE ARTICLE THAT SPURRED THIS DISCUSSION", since it is the Lord Jesus Christ that has decided
what is to be determined by that article I am so happy to hear that He has personally told you that it only involves one "POINT" and He had nothing else of importance in mind with regard to that article. You have truly cleared up for us all Alexander,
thank you so much!!!

AlexanderHenderson1647, when I said you didn't have to chip in I wasn't kidding.
Now you have compounded your problem and set yourself up to speak for every
member of a Protestant Denomination. I would rather hear them speak for themselves thank you.
And what makes you think I am not headed to the same point you are so anxious to get me to? False supposition perhaps?

Dopey wrote:
AlexanderHenderson1647, I thank you for your reply. Your first reply actually cleared up for me who should be considered the ONE MASTER
("Neither Luther nor Spurgeon set themselves up as God on earth") but you
keep bringing to a field clearly marked:
ONE MASTER
Luther and Spurgeon's "good works" so let's take a look at Luther and Spurgeon's "bad works"
James 3:2 King James Bible
"For in many things we offend all..."
James 3:2 isn't talking about Luther and Spurgeon forgetting to take out the Garbage.
The field is Clearly Christ as
ONE MASTER in relationhip to any other potential Protestant MASTER. If one or two others wish to chip in on this theme it would be welcomed.
AlexanderHenderson1647, you need not chip in as you have already agreed with me that their is only
ONE Protestant MASTER and it is
The Lord Jesus Christ.

Dopey wrote:
Nice try AlexanderHenderson1647, some on this comment board are specialists at dodging important points to replace them with ones less important.
My 5:38 PM comment set up the premise their is only ONE MASTER that being the Lord Jesus Christ and Luther and Spurgeon are entirely minor in relationship to that central truth.
Now you come along and want to defend Luther and Spurgeon. What's your point?
Is it that there are really two MASTERS
Christ and Luther or Christ and Spurgeon or Christ and some other big name Protestant?

Dopey wrote:
AlexanderHenderson1647,
I see this time you didn't forget an important truth: ONE MASTER...
You can't serve Jesus Christ and Luther,
or Charles H. Spurgeon at the same time.
You have to make a choice between Christ and all other important Protestant leaders.
Matthew 6:23-25
No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

How does the pill work?
Per the birth control pill package insert, it can work in one of three ways:
(1.) It can prevent ovulation (releasing an egg from the ovary)
(2.) It can cause the mucus in the cervix to change so that if sperm reach the cervix, they are not allowed to enter, and
"(3.) It can irritate the lining of the uterus so that if the first two actions fail, and the woman does become pregnant, the tiny baby boy or girl will die before he or she can actually attach to the lining of the uterus.
In other words, when the third action occurs, the woman's body rejects the tiny baby and he or she will die."

Dopey quoted Acts. I don't know if he accepted it over Trent.

Dopey never dealt with Romes Nazi connection. That's what God's word would have done. Dopey wanted to vindicate Rome by condemning Protestantism, then dovetail it away with bible verses...

You see AlexanderHenderson, go back and see what they've done. They are very subtle. First they assert that ALL Protestants had rejected the bible (ie) only Rome now held the truth. Second, RCC rejected the abortive Pill - Rome is good again, and Protestants emraced the Pill - Protestants bad again:
Then the loaded question:"which protestant denomination saves from hell" - which you rightfully answered but they never included Rome because by default it gives Rome a pass. Rome is the holder of truth and saves from the fires of Hell. Then just quote bible verses. That's so they didn't have to
touch the Vatican's Nazi connection with the Popes 10 ft crozier.Slick! And like Rome tactics, they sideswipe and change the direction. Really slick. Sometimes these laity's aren't so innocent of the Mother church's methods. You'll see them now scurry away because Rome Nazi connection is too damming.

Benedict said "it looked like the continent was in the hands of this power, which put the future on Christianity in doubt."
Well no, Christianity's future is never in doubt. Persecuted yes, but every single saints future is vouchsafed by God the Holy Spirit. And I'm referring to real saints, not in the Romie vernacular.
With the tag team dou of the Grand Mufti, and His Holiness Maximus Glutomus, drooling over the prospect of a Nazi victory, Islam and Rome teamed together to recruit SS for the Nazis. For the Serbs, they were harvested for organs like liver and what not. But pretty much all wound up in mass graves.
Did the Vatican not have a concordat with Hitler's Reich? Did the Vatican not establish the Rat-Line, an escape route for Nazis? With the pope dancing with the devil, those were dark days indeed. Ratzinger is not denouncing Romes involvement --- that would be historic. He's simply switching sides, whichever the winning side happens to be, to give us a "..Pope [that] at times can be very human in a compassionate sense and deserve our empathy,..". Yes, void of any history, all history that is, our holy father is a warm feeling in a cold winters day. A tear!
