Spowers...You are right...Jesus did say that, and I have no right to cast stones at anyone, since, I am far from perfect, myself!!!

I am sorry, also...I feel I owe you an apology!!!

I do remain firm on my beliefs, and I am sure you can appreciate that one....

Everything is okay...Spowers...I guess we are all trying to learn the "art" of assertiveness.
I guess sometimes "aggressiveness" just seems to pop out it's ugly face!!!

We have all been on that boat, huh? The depression, anxiety and panic attacks can do a number on one's body....I hope you have a great day!!!!

“May prayer strengthen us for the spiritual battle we are told about in the Letter to the Ephesians: ‘Draw strength from the Lord and from His mighty power’ (Ephesians 6:10). The Book of Revelation refers to this same battle, recalling before our eyes the image of St. Michael the Archangel (Revelation 12:7). Pope Leo XIII certainly had a very vivid recollection of this scene when, at the end of the last century, he introduced a special prayer to St. Michael throughout the Church. Although this prayer is no longer recited at the end of Mass, I ask everyone not to forget it and to recite it to obtain help in the battle against forces of darkness and against the spirit of this world.”



Prayer to Holy Michael the Archangel

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray: and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God thrust down into hell Satan and all wicked spirits who wander throughout the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

Apparently not. I do not think other religions are able to be openly discussed here without harassment. Ideally that's what would happen but it never has and I dare say it never will. For one thing, few who have passed through this forum have ever been mature enough to do so. As the immature far outweigh the mature, I'd say it was darn near impossible. Just my two cents.

I'm going all the way back to what EastcoastGirl said on page 2 and want to thank her for that. Very well said. I learned something. :)

And, I do know one person, who, if she doesn't turn from her evil ways will split hell wide open!!!!
Seriously, is this at all productive/appropriate/beneficial to anyone? You are entitled to your beliefs, but you are really overstepping here making a statement like that! Only GOD can decide what is "evil", btw.

Craw, you are so right. There is no room for any non-Christian religions on here. And for this to bother me, a Christian, it is pretty bad. Sorry, Spowers, this is always how these threads turn out.

Butterfly...You are absolutely right. That was a very insensitive thing to say. I do apologize for that one, also. I have already apologized to Lauren and Spowers!!! Butterfly...Love does win in the end!!!

Thanks for bringing this one to my attention!!! I pray you have a wonderful day!!! God Bless
