Matthew 4:10

^You're a damned iconoclast and that is heresy which makes you a heretic. Matthew 4:10 does nothing to impugn or condemn the use and creation of art for His glory and the education of the laity and the lifting up our senses to the heavens. Art does not make us worship the creature rather than the creator. Because some people do does not make art bad for the Kingdom.--Chris

Which reminds me of one of my favorite facebook shares...a picture of John Calvin upon which the words "Just because of him we can't have nice things." are written.

Listen boy, i am heretic in your postmodern world. Christ has blessed my anti-Catholic soul with history, tradition and reason. Go ahead and be seduced...Emergent punk.

Unknown said...

If you address me, you call me Dr. Your anti-Catholicism is not a gift from God but a gift from Satan. And what tradition are you from? The one that was invented by you? And what reason? Reason does not exclude the creative.

You're a disgrace and an insult. Please stay outside of the Church in your own little church comprised of you, by you, for you. You're still a heretic.

Full disclosure: I'm not even Roman Catholic. I'm Greek Orthodox.

Mr. Mcgranor said...

I can tell...now. You are their worthless brother of darkness.
As for institutional churches and their dogmas; the social upheaval of Protestant societies over the past forty to fifty years; is not your concern.

^I just read your little bio. Thanks for the laugh. Protestantism, btw, isn't a church, it's a mere thought system where faith is chucked and replaced by mere intellectual assent which, as St. James tells us, even the demons do with respect to the Holy Trinity.

We can go on and on, but the "tradition" you represent is man-made. The tradition I represent is straight from God Himself.

Please feel free to keep deluding yourself, though. It's a free country.

Mr. Mcgranor said...

Show yourself darkness... You may not be the premiere Satanic institution, like your Roman Catholic brethren; but you are never-the-less wicked. Many a fallen of faith in the West, convert to your people. Rather then keep the faith, and better it away from --at least-- Western oblivion. I bet you are one of them..?

Christ will defeat you.

^Christ does not wage war against His own and I am His. He wages war against sin, which, I admit, I have in droves. But, he does not wage war against me.

BTW, nevertheless does not require hyphens and your English in general leaves much to be desired.

Mr. Mcgranor said...

Many an insecure Protestant does not want to face the reality, that the Reformation is also your rejection as well. You will not arise to early church glory; because the early church is no more. You are--and will continue to be the Catholics underling.

Mr. Mac, Have you hidden Elvis in your basement all these years? Are the police constantly driving around your house, checking you out?
