Gore wrote that Christians "are afraid to open their minds to teachings offered outside their own system of belief." Gore attacks Christians who believe totally in the Bible because they refuse to accept "Earth as our Sacred Mother." Gore also wrote that believing in bible prophecy is heretical. As the nose grows: the scripture according to Gore by Ann Coulter http://www.townhall.com/columnists/anncoulter/welcome.shtml Since almost no one these days — no politician, certainly — admits to being an atheist, Vice President Al Gore is about as close as you’re going to get. He says he has his "own way" of interpreting the Bible, much like he has his own way of interpreting his role in "Love Story." In Gore’s view, the Bible inveighs against global warming and the internal combustion engine, but has nothing of any relevance to say on the matter of sucking a baby’s brains out. Gore’s religious beliefs — or "faith traditions," as nonbelievers like Gore refer to their quaint tribal superstitions — remind one of G.K. Chesterton’s observation that when a man ceases to believe in God, it’s not that he believes nothing, it’s that he will believe anything. Among his other loopy interpretations, Gore claims the story of Cain and Abel is a parable about the dangers of pollution. Not original sin, not murder, not envy: pollution. "Indeed," he writes in his magnum opus, "Earth in the Balance," "the first instance of ‘pollution’ in the Bible occurs when Cain slays Abel." According to Gore, God was hopping mad about Cain polluting. Cain had "defiled the ground" with Abel’s messy blood. Murder is one thing, but polluting with Abel’s blood was what really got God’s goat. When pressed to expand upon on this singular interpretation of the Cain and Abel story, Gore explained that God’s original rebuff of Cain’s offering of the fruit of the ground (which set off Cain’s murderous jealousy — and the first recorded case of pollution) was simply "a metaphorical reference to the move from a herding to an agricultural economy." I don’t know. God works in mysterious ways and all, but His rejection of agriculture products as an offering doesn’t seem like the most lucid manner of promoting an agricultural economy.

So, that’s supposed to be the end result of your having initiated an original thread within the Catholic group? A cheap opportunity to type the word "Romanist", and like it’s supposed to bother us? Not. Now, go away, faithless deist. Alan

Response:

Is this supposed to be some sort of slam? The early Church, of course, refers to the early Catholic Church, just like those converts discovered. The earliest converts were Jews & Gentiles. Jesus was a Jew, & then He started His Church, the Catholic Church & gave the authority on earth to His Apostles & those they laid hands on, down through history. I’m sorry that you’re so afraid of this that you must attack & CONDEMN. (your typical response) Of course, once again, you don’t answer the basic questions, as raised in my other posts & as noted by the converts as they discovered the TRUTH. Can’t you defend your erroneous beliefs, Elaine? (no, they’re not all erroneous) Here’s another great story of a convert who was a Baptist: http://www.geocities.com/churchguide/mystory.html Will you read it, or are you afraid of the truth?

[snip] Note Mother Teresa’s words: "Any country that accepts abortion is . . . teaching its people . . . to use any violence to get what they want." Such is the cause of rising violence in America.
Violence has always been in America, it is not rising. Look at the tribes in the Old Testament. Some sacrificed new born babies to their gods. We will see a real rise in violence during the Tribulation period, when Mr. Satan gets to party-hardy to his delight for 7 years. Yes, it "seems" America is getting worse (morality getting lower over time). It’s really been bad all along. Man is basically evil. Through TV and other forms of media, the whole world is finding out just how evil man really is. Adam

- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Mother Teresa On Violence Mother Teresa spoke on abortion at the Annual National Prayer Breakfast, Washington D.C., February 1994: "By abortion, the mother does not learn to love but kills even her own child to solve her problems. And by abortion, the father is told that he does not have to take any responsibility at all for the child he has brought into the world . . . Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love but to use any violence to get what they want. That is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion . . . "The child is God’s gift to the family. Each child is created in the special image and likeness of God for greater things, to love and be loved . . . "I will tell you something beautiful. We are fighting abortion by adoption – by care of the mother and adoption of her baby. We have saved thousands of lives. We have sent word to the clinics, to the hospitals and police stations: ‘Please, don’t destroy the child. We will take the child.’ So we always have someone to tell the mothers in trouble: ‘Come, we will take care of you, we will get a home for your child.’ "Please don’t kill the child. I want the child. I am willing to accept any child who would be aborted and to give tht child to a married couple who will love the child and be loved by the child. From our children’s home in Calcutta alone, we have saved over 3,000 children from abortion. These children have brought such love and joy to their adopting parents and have grown up so full of love and joy. "If we remember that God loves us, and that we can love others as He loves us, then America can become a sign of peace for the world. From here, a sign of care for the weakest of the weak – the unborn child – must go out to the world. If you become a burning light of justice and peace in the world, then really you will be true to what the founders of this country stood for. God bless you." Note Mother Teresa’s words: "Any country that accepts abortion is . . . teaching its people . . . to use any violence to get what they want." Such is the cause of rising violence in America.
Beautiful words spoken by a woman with a beautiful soul. As for your take on the cause of rising violence? Anything that devalues human life encourages the destruction of and loss of respect of human life, so, 100% agreed. Paula
Response:
Here are some brief excerpts from just the 1st 5 stories in a book containing 15 stories of conversions. Each convert’s email address is included in the book , so you can write to them! Story #1 Kristine Franklin former Evangelical missionary former Episcopal Kristine says: "According to the Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, there have been more than 28,000 distinct denominations at one time or another since the time of the Reformation. There are estimates that 5 new Protestant denominations are created each week around the world. This, in my mind, makes a mockery of the concept of Truth…if the doctrines of the Reformation were sound, we would expect to see one Protestant church, one Protestant doctrine based on scripture alone, but that’s absolutely impossible, as 500 years of history proves….using the same scripture & the same Holy Spirit, what we’ve ended up with is a theological Tower of Babel." "The question "Do they teach the whole truth never entered into the equation, because in the Protestant system of individual interpretation of scripture, there is no way to know who has the whole truth. Protestantism offers a sort of a functional agnosticism with regard to the meaning of scripture. One simply can’t know for sure." "I asked myself, "Where is the one body, one faith, & one Baptism, that St Paul spoke of so passionately?"" Story #2 Jeff Childers formerly Church of Christ member now a seminarian "The more I learned about the early Church, the more it seemed to be the early Catholic Church. Among its earliest Christian writers, Catholic concepts are discussed, defended, & taught as commonly accepted teachings that had come directly from Christ & the Apostles." "I learned that most of my objections to Catholic teachings were based on false information, misconceptions, & my own arrogance in interpreting scripture the way I wanted to, rather than listening to the voices of the ages." Story #3 Carolyn Kollegger fallen away Catholic celebrity lifestyle "For all those years before, I was trying to please the wrong people. Now, I knew that the only thing that mattered was to live my life from that moment forward to please Christ." Story #4 Fr. Ray Ryland former Disciple of Christ former Unitarian former Episcopalian priest considered Eastern Orthodoxy "We thought we had found historical continuity in the Episcopal Church, but it was not there. We now knew that continuity & Tradition go hand in hand; that scripture has to be interpreted in light of Tradition. But we failed to find a scructure or an office to fulfill the interpretive function." "Eastern Orthodoxy responds: They must be tested in the light of scripture. In other words, scripture interprets Tradition, which interprets scripture. But scripture & Tradition can’t be mutually validating criteria for each other—either simultaneously or sequentially. This is circular reasoning. It can’t solve the problem of authority." "The problem of authority must be solved. God has entered history, revealing Himself in the redemption of mankind through our Lord Jesus Christ. Has He left no means in His Church to ensure man’s grasp of that revelation? Jesus Christ promised to lead the Church into all truth through the Holy Spirit. Has He broken His promise by failing to establish criteria & means of expression for that truth? Our Blessed Lord has prayed that all members of His Mystical Body would be one. Has He given His Church no earthly center of unity by which this prayer can be answered?" "We began to see that as non-Catholics, in good faith we had submitted our lives to Jesus Christ on our terms, not His. We had no other terms. With regards to who Jesus is, what He accomplished, & what He expects of us, we were the final authorities. We had no other authority. Our Christian lives had been based on our interpretation of scripture or that of other persons whom we had chosen to follow." "By submitting to the authority of the Catholic Church, we allowed Jesus to speak to us through the teaching authority He Himself had established. This does not mean that the Catholic Church does our thinking for us, but it does mean that the Church gives us the Truth, according to which we can think rightly." (The "we" in the story refers to Ray & his wife of many years. Ray is now a Catholic priest.) Story #5 Lynn Nordhagen fallen away Catholic former Pentecostal former Presbyterian "There was no impregnable fortress of solid Protestant doctrine, but only a fragmentary system established over 450 years ago as a way of avoiding the authority of the Church." The quotes above are from the book, "Surprised by Truth 2", by Patrick Madrid. I have no relationship, business or personal, with the author, the publisher, the converts, or anyone else connected to this book. I only pray that even just one soul will read this & be further inspired, or even just curious enough, to look into the Truth & beauty of the Holy Catholic Church!
