While U.S. presidents may very well be the most powerful individuals on earth, the operative phrase is “on earth,” but a string of incidents has developed in which Barack is credited with much, much more.
The latest is an online video in which a young boy appears to be praying TO Obama.
Not for him. Not about him. TO him.
“Thank you for all the stuff that you helped us with. Thank you for taking the courage and all the responsibility for everything you have done for us. And God has gave you special powers and you are going to handle it just fine,” the boy prays....

Ok, well, that's a much different scenario then, I guess. I have an acoustic (Yamaha), and and electric Harmony and I have a peavey amp for both. To me, there's nothing like the sound of a good acoustic guitar. I'm not good but I like to play around and practice.

When everybody stands before Jesus after passing away the subject of church membership will not enter into the equation as to who will be permitted to enter Heaven. Jesus will only look at if one had embraced Him as their Savior in determining who will enter Heaven. Nothing else, not Baptism, church membership or the Sacraments will be used by Jesus in determining who will enter Heaven. So the church that one who is Born Again attends is totally superfluous. The only thing that matters is that the church worships Jesus as God. When I start the band I will not e hiding behind the others in playing the guitar. I will be up front.

If a person won't leave a false church because people possibly speaking to him in a new one would be outside of his shyness comfort zone, how would the very public, hands on, fanfare in the country music world be possible?

jpw, I sure heard that. Found this on a Baptist Church's website in Tennessee: "Those who do not love the Lord will not help you serve the love."
AND I have to think that praying for "remnant believers" to find (encourage, pray for each other and witness of the Truth of Christ to everyone God gives us opportunity to) will be a very good thing for "us".

I read my post several times, at NO point did I use the terminology "subscribe to all Catholic doctrines", the priest (or whomever) who gives you mass only does so with your permission, you could wave it off, by taking it you are saying to him that you believe in it. If you don't believe in the efficacy of the mass, why not stop going to the Catholic church altogether? By your own admission you don't interact with the people other than taking the mass. Why not stay out of there and not be faced with having to be deceptive in your actions? Maybe you can explain why you bother to go. If I understand Catholic doctrine you would be condemned to hell if you quit the Catholic church or stopped taking mass. It seems like that is the reason you refuse to leave the RCC.
I know people who have some serious issues that are clearly seen while looking from the outside in. They are unmistakable and unarguably present. These people, however, don't see what everyone else sees. They may admit to much lesser, minimalistic accusations in the heat of an argument when they are cornered, but they never see the big picture and just can't be convinced of how gravely serious their issues are because they refuse step back and try to look in from the outside. No matter how I might try, no matter how convincing I might be, and no matter how many facts I present, they will never take any responsibility. They do nothing but deflect and blame others; insisting that they are normal but it's everyone else who is crazy.

I consider the first half to be just reciting a quotation from the Gospel of Saint Luke.

Like I have already said you seem to be an utter religiou genuis who has made up his (qutoe) Christianity to be whatever YOU want it to be
BUT I've got to hand it too you how we have already wasted time with 'Hail Marys' when people could be praying to Obama (that was humor, I know, I know bad humor over something heartbreakingly grieveous)

Also you probably fail to understand this BUT so as to be clear for others. John I (and I am sure others on SermonAudio) care about you and do not want to see you perish in your sins and the religion you seem to have made up for yourself. Hope you repent and come to the Truth of Christ before the day in which there is no more hope for you.

Then there is the ritualistic rosary beads. Don't they touch each bead so they know they haven't missed part of the prayer and/or to make sure they said a certain phrase the correct number of times? This is the only thing I have never looked into.

Now, all that needs to be done is for OBAMA to be assassinated, then resurrected by this present "JESUIT" 'POPE', and an image [statue] of OBAMA to be set up in the rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem; along with compulsary Universal WORSHIP OF OBAMA:
AND THE REST IS THE LITERAL FULFILLMENT OF REVELATION 13:11-18 ! ! !
THIS ALL, OFCOURSE, BEING ADMIXED WITH THE MARK OF THE "BEAST" [OBAMA ?] &-OR HIS FALSE-PROPHET "POPE" [VICARIUS FILII DEI] BEING FORCED IN THE RIGHT-HAND OR FOREHEAD ON EVERY HUMAN BEING ON PLANET EARTH ! ! ! ! ! !
