⚜My Theological Debates⚜ – FINAL POST: Fig: 20.20

"The Unforgivable sins!" – Mark 3:29

THIS, MY FINAL POSTI was "blocked" from posting at the original FBook location of the debate; Part of "someone elses" "Personal Wall", whom we shared a "mutual friend..."


Alas, without further-ado, I present my finale IMG Fig: 20.20

For the prior posts of this "debate"
visit my FaceBook Album


POST BEGINS:

Jordan mate, you make NO SENSE, LOGIC, RATIONALITY or REson, whatsoever!!! Then again, I can't expect someone who claims the "opposite" or the "counter" to LAW is GRACE, as opposed to the theologically and linguistically more sound (and appropriate!) LAWLESS being the "counter" or "opposite" of LAW.

I rest my point. I feel the debate has been proven to be dealing with hypocritical, judgemental teachings on YOU GUYS behalf. That your HYPOCRISY have PROVED your SHAKY, DECEPTIVE DOCTRINES and THEOLOGICAL views/understandings...

So, I highly doubt this debate will prove of any benefit in my further reproving you of sin, lawlessness etc; — if anything, it will rather devolve further into petty "name calling" without teaching you of any GODLY TRUTHS! Oh, brothers, I have been debating, trying to reprove your sins that you are TOTALLY BLINDED to! That you can continue sinning as its paid for already?!

Right. OK then... If your argument is in fact correct... That GOD wants us to continue to "crucify Him, again and again!"; That "The Law" the "Commandments" of Almighty God are irrelevant in this, the Age of Faith and Grace etc;... Well... Like I said... I may as well "live up the best of both worlds!"

Keep sinning — but without repentance, which ACTUALLY makes us more humble, more meek, with the continual, lifelong acts of sorrow for our personal sins and repentance...

"Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land" see: Matt5:3-10

I also read "Blessed who hunger for RIGHTEOUSNESS, blessed the CLEAN OF HEART"... I DON'T, however, read anything REMOTELY SIMILAR to: "Blessed those who hunger for righteousness, whilst committing acts of lawlessness and unrighteousness, theirs is the Kingdom of God." No! Nothing REMOTELY similar!

In fact... Prophetic word SPEAKS of our very times, the final generations at the "end of the current age" which would increase in LAWLESSNESS, IMMORALITY, DECEPTION — committed by those who "know not the Lord". Once we become aware of our sins, shortcoming etc; it should be repented, actively struggle against reoffending, because God HATES sin! He cannot be AROUND sin! He doesn't want His Children to SIN, therefore, thus showing their allegiance to SATAN.

If however we actively fight AGAINST recommitting our sins, our fleshly lusts and desires, even if we struggle and struggle greatly... So long as we are truly repentant and truly sorry from the heart, He will forgive us! You cannot be TRULY sorry for sins if you ACTIVELY seek the next opportunity to reoffend! Where is the remorse? The guilt?

Alas, where is "the fear of the Lord" which, as Holy Scripture tells us, is the BEGINNING of WISDOM??? Without regret, or the "fear of God Almighty" (which is the beginning of Wisdom; See: Prov9:10!) 

Obviously, some people just can't see sense; reason; become too proud, too much seeking "the approval of men" but not the approval of God for living HIS WAYS, becoming more CHRIST LIKE each and every day, even if we have our lapses; or relapses into sin. So long as we REPENT, continually, and "turn from our errors!"

"I mourn many of them that sinned before, and have not done penance for the uncleanness, fornication, and lasciviousness, that they have committed." See: 2Cor12:21, and:

"Try your own selves if you be in the faith; prove ye yourselves. Know you not your own selves, that Christ Jesus is in you, unless perhaps you be reprobates? Now we pray God, that you may do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but you may do that which is good, what is right. For we cannot do anything against the truth but only for the truth. I write this while away from you, in order that when I come I may not have to be severe in my use of the authority which the Lord has given to me for building up not for tearing down." (2Cor13:5-10)

"They profess to know God: but in their works they deny Him; being abominable, and incredulous, and to every good work reprobate." (Titus1:16)

I pray you humble yourselves before the Lord, that you don't trust in your own created laws of right and wrong whilst leaving out His Scriptures. I pray that the final quote I leave you with this morning is NOT you, in particular, the first verse, No: 26:

"God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature. And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one toward another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error. And as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness, full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity, whisperers, detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, foolish, dissolute, without affection, without fidelity, without mercy. Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death; and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them." (Rom1:26-32)

Good morning; good afternoon; and good night. May the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Wisdom, convict you of your sins before it is too late... Before God either "gives you up to your grave unrepentant immoralities" — or tells you that thou you say to Him, "Lord, Lord..." that he casts you aside, to the weeping and gnashing of teeth, because he doesn't know you.

Extreme, yes. But. Change IS possible!!! With the right type of therapeutic counselling/psychiatry/pschology (not the modern, new age mumbo-jumbo variety!) — if one truly desires to change... Not to necessarily become "heterosexual", but rather, more within "right standing with God" and a much more brotherly love,  faith, trust and reliance on Christ the Lord... unless you are "just not yet" given over to true repentance, desiring a more faithful devotion to your Lord and apparent Saviour... But... You are much better off casting the unrighteous fruit in the fire the sooner you are repentant for it, as opposed to delaying it!

We live in dangerous, "End Times" and those not believing this to be a fact are very, very much deceived... Long known Biblical prophecies that have NEVER been fulfilled, or even CLOSE to fulfilment are becoming more and more likely as the days draw on... Ezekiel 38/39 prophecy.... That of the Dead Sea coming back to life, miraculously! The birth of a pure, red heifer, the last and final pure, unblemished, spotless red heifer being born on the 28th August, 2018, bringing forth the soon to be reinstated Jewish Holy Sacrifices to thus "restore their land" and ready to reinstate Mosaic Sacrifices and the construction of their Third Temple... All the signs, plus the increasing birth-pangs, or earthquakes, volcanoes, flooding, fires — hell even what they are calling "firenadoes", a combo of tornado, built of fire, from bush fire ravaged areas (which, come to think of it, sounds very similar to the "pillar of fire" which led the ancient Israelites on their Exodus from the land of Egypt, see: Ex13:21)

Hence, it is becoming quite apparent that we may be the final generation before the second advent of Christ, who comes in glory, and judgement! Do u REALLY want to POTENTIALLY miss out on the Great Rapture of the Church, on the off chance your beliefs RE: continual sinning is in fact INCORRECT??? Believe me...living in "these times" I certainly wouldn't want to miss the greatest event in human history since the first coming, the birth, the death, or our One True God, through the Son, of Christ Jesus! Amen! 

Nor, would I want to believe in my own, fallen, corrupt judgement, as opposed to the MANY truths, signs etc; from the very Word of God in Sacred Scripture! Getting it horribly wrong, means living in the horribly wrong, much, much more evil, immoral, lawless and depraved times of the "Great Tribulation" — the WORST time in ALL the days of earth and human existence! Eek!!!

"Watch ye, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are to come, and to stand before the Son of Man"
." (Luke21:36)

Peace and blessing, friends. 🙏🏼✝🛐

Actual "Flight Plan" maps PROVE FlatEarth

________________________________________________

– DRAFT COPY –

NOT COMPLETE!!!

Version: A101

________________________________

I guess they never thought we "Flat Earthers"
would be so INGENIOUS as to study many aspects,
including REAL LIFE "Flight Plans"
Another way for the discerning,
AWAKE
and eager student to see that...
YES!
THE EARTH IS FLAT!!!
100% PROOF – RIGHT HERE!

Figure 1a

Above you will see a map of what we all "grew up" knowing as the map of the world AKA: the global earth DECEPTION (see Figure 1a). It is in actual fact a flight plan map used by numerous international airlines. The red lines mark-out the apparent flight-paths taken from city to city.

Notice how the route between Hong Kong and New York looks a little odd? i.e: Why the Northern flight through China and Russia – instead of simply flying straight over the Atlantic?

It has nothing to do with extra stops along the way, let me tell you!

Have a look at how it even flies over the Canadian arctic before eventually getting to New York...

Strange, right???

No, not really!

This so-called "map" we have all grown accustomed to
is FAKE!!!

The earth does NOT look like that in REALITY!
For a picture of how the earth REALLY looks, scroll down and view
Figure 2a and Figure 2b


The first map (Figure 2a) shows an (albeit rough!) path between New York and Hong Kong – seeming to make much more sense than the stupid "global" flight-path up-and-over and through the arctic, and it also makes sense when comparing it to the actual flight path taken by international airlines!

Now, have a look at Figure 1a again; notice the flight path veers from New York northwards over Canada, flying just below Greenland before reaching London...

Again, I ask: Why not a more straight path straight over the Arctic?

Now have a look at Figure 2b you will see another rough path between New York and London (which I roughly drew in using PhotoShop!) showing how the route actually takes you above into Canadian airspace and not far south of Greenland before reaching London.

Figure 2a
Enter the Flat Earth
map of the world!
What the world has FAILED to teach you!
INDOCTRINATING YOU
with the global earth
CONSPIRACY!!!

Figure 2b


I personally have never flown overseas, or flown domestically for that matter...
Oh, how I would love to! Just to have a good look out at the horizon...
Seeing further the higher we fly!
The horizon is always level with the eye,
so the higher you are, the further you see!

To be able to see – or, rather, NOT see 
the CURVATURE of the horizon...
But rather see there ever-expanding horizon
WITHOUT the use of a "Fish Bowl" camera lens!!!
(which they use in many photos to give you that curve)...

Figure 3a

Below (Figure 3b) is a 360-degree panoramic video from the summit of Mt. Everest, claiming to PROVE the curvature of the earth!!!
LMAODo you see any curvature? I certainly don't!
All I see are mountains, hills and valleys – as far as the eye can see...

Apollo 11 and NASA's LIE'S!!!

NASA's days are numbered now that President Trump is, well... President of the United States!

Still, we can see their outright LIES by having a quick look at their OWN website! The following image can be found at: https://history.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/AS11-40-5922HR.jpg

It is a photo of the Apollo 11 "spacecraft" that APPARENTLY "landed man on the moon" in the late-1960's... Six-billion-dollars worth of cardboard and red electric tape, by the look of it!!!

LMAO!!!

TERRORISM: MELBOURNE CBD

Our nations fear of an Islamic terrorist attack has been realised today, some two-years since the hostage situation at the Lindt Cafe in Martin Place, Sydney CBD. This time in the Melbourne CBD, in the style of the attacks in Nice, France, and the recent one at the Christmas markets in Germany.

Several deaths, including a young child, and at least twenty seriously injured, including children and a young baby that was hurtled from its pram from impact of the erratic, senseless driving through the closed to traffic strip of the Bourke Street Mall. The CBD in lockdown – trams stopped – emergency services on "code red" and hospital employees called in for duty. The offender was shot in the arm and arrested. Police say it was "not terror related," though eyewitness accounts of the shocking event say the driver was yelling "Allah Akbar" from his vehicle whilst doing donuts out the front of the busy Flinders Street Station intersection.

An initial media report from the "Cairns Post" said the man was of "middle eastern appearance" but that was soon removed from the article. As I said above, the police declared it was NOT terror related and was a follow-on from a stabbing incident in the inner city suburb of Windsor. HOW can it NOT be terror related? After all, what did the innocent shoppers have to do with this stabbing?

"Nine News" reported it as a "police chase" of a "out of control vehicle" – yet there said vehicle contained an Islamist yelling "Allah Akbar" – OF COURSE it was TERROR related!

Oh, how we as a nation have drastically changed in the past seventeen-years. Twenty-years ago, Islam was rarely heard of; now it is SATURATING our society and the entire Western-civilisation as they undertake a MASS-INVASION of our nations under the disguise of being "Asylum seekers."

The Islamists have realised how far we westerners have "fallen from grace," not believing in anything  but ourselves, materialism, atheism and sexual gratification. A nation cannot stand for long when it loses its "moral compass"; its heritage and belief in the One True God. They see us as "ripe for the picking" – the invasion, pillaging and rape of our once God-fearing nations.

A nation without a BELIEF in something other than themselves, a reason to fight for the belief in a higher power, even unto death – will only last a short time until someone else FORCES their beliefs, their culture, their god on to us.

Abortions. So-called same-sex "marriage" and the selfish needs of our people not producing offspring. Enter the so-called "refugee" or "asylum seeker" with multiple wives and much larger families – our culture will end, and very soon, being replaced either by force or by using our democratic rights against us, eventually to legally bring in Islamic Sharia law because we shall be outnumbered, a minority in our own once great country.

When will this world WAKE UP and see the TRUTH instead of being constantly distracted by personal, selfish self-gratification? When will people turn back to GOD? By the time they wake up, trade in their sexual-liberation ideologies for the belief in God, it will already be too late, as our mothers, wives and sisters are taken as sex-slaves; our men beheaded publicly; homosexuals thrown off skyscrapers and Christians forced to convert, or die.

I for one know where my heart lies, and that is with GOD – the ONE TRUE LORD; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. With Jesus Christ. YHWH – I AM – the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Amen.

NOT with the "anti-god" of death. NOT with Allah, the god of Muhammad. I would certainly rather DIE than to bow my knee to their oppressive dictator-god – a so-called god whom is nothing more than a CHRISTIAN HERESY.

I would rather die, assured in my belief that I will be born into heaven. Lord, grant me the strength to die a martyr, not a traitor, if that be Your Will. No more pain – no more suffering. To be forced to convert, living a life I know is NOT TRUE would be a much worse option, for if I were able to keep my earthly life through conversion, it would not be a life at all, but to live in slavery as a second, third or fourth class muslim – not a free one, if there actually is such a thing.

Our Lord Jesus Christ died for our salvation. If need be, I shall die for Him – living for Him and He alone, or not at all. There can only be ONE real TRUTH. You shall know the spirits from the fruit of a faith. Christianity's fruits include LOVE and COMPASSION, whilst the fruits of Islam is DEATH; DISEASE; DECAY.

I know THE truth and "the truth shall set you free." – St. John 8:32.

Lord, grant me the STRENGTH; COURAGE; CONVICTION – to LIVE only for YOU, and to DIE only for YOU. In the Most Holy Name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God and of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Amen, amen.

The STORM that's NEEDED


As we celebrate with friends and family it comes to the close of another year. We reflect on the previous 12-months and aim to do better with the next twelve, whilst also hoping for a less traumatic year to be had by all. Whether 2017 will be one of the good years or not we can only tell with time – though I believe this will be one big shake-up of a year for everyone. Get ready, world, to experience events of massive disruption to everyone: young and old, rich and poor, religious and atheist, slave and free.

During the last year the Church celebrated an extraordinary jubilee year of mercy. Divine mercy. This year, 2017, is a landmark year for many reasons, notably the centenary of the Fatima apparitions of Our Lady and the "miracle of the sun" but also 500-years since the "Protestant Reformation" ripped through Europe, fracturing western Christendom.

In the Jewish calendar we are currently in the year 5777. Those schooled in Biblical studies will know that the number seven is a divine number to indicate "perfection." The number five is to signify grace. 5,777 = grace + perfected. Have a read of this article on "Mystic Post".

So not only in the Church, but the Jewish mind also, we are at a cross-roads of sorts. Coincidence? According to Jewish Rabbi's, "coincidence" is not a "kosher" word. To many Catholics, coincidences are actually signs from God, or angels, which are signs from God, none-the-less.

Throughout the next nine and a half months there will be "signs in the heavens" culminating towards the end of 2017, near the centenary of the "miracle of the sun". Sadly, most of the world will not look up at the night sky to witness such events unfold before our eyes because they are too glued to their phones and computer screens.

"And a great portent appeared in the heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars."Revelation 12:1

For too long, God has been despised, hated, reviled, ignored, replaced. The whole world is wallowing in sin. In the west we have created a world without God. But God still exists, whether you want to claim he is a fable of antiquity, a moral guiding force for our ancient, illiterate, uneducated ancestors – as though we have the monopoly on knowledge! Perhaps, people in the past had things more spot-on than we have the world at this very moment.

Catholic prophecy speaks of a time when the "Immaculate Heart shall triumph" – I believe it will be soon, in the next twelve months. The prophecy also speaks of an "Illumination of conscience" where we will all experience a deep inward reflection of our lives and actions as they appear to God. Everyone. Not just Catholics. Not just Christians. EVERYONE. Some will take these signs for what they are, a warning from God, and choose to repent and mend their relationship with the Eternal Father. Many will have other excuses and grow harder in heart, becoming more wicked and evil.

Following this "illumination of conscience" there shall be an outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon all who reflect and repent. Think the first Pentecost, but on a much, much larger scale. What an exciting time to be alive! The Lord is more-or-less giving us all a second chance, allowing us to know for certain He is real, from personal experience. An admonition. That shall be God's great mercy to us pilgrims here on earth.

Twelve-months ago I experienced my own personal "illumination" – though it wasn't THE "illumination" prophesied. Finally I understood the world in a different way. I understood why certain behaviours of mine were in fact evil. Sinful. I chose to take all that on board, renouncing the gay lifestyle I had been involved in since I was a teen. I broke-up the relationship I had with my now best-friend. Things have been going steady since, though I for one am not without sin, even now. The prophesied "illumination" may have to occur before I drastically change my ways, but I have started. Trust me, the sooner you know the truth, the better for your soul!

"Repent, and believe in the Gospel!"Mark 1:15

Death of Celebrity

It is the final week of 2016 – that week in between Christmas Day on the 25th and New Years Day, the 1st of January 2017. A quick browse on social media will indicate 2016 was, by most, a horrible, dreary, deathly year. I for one don't think it was too bad of a year, though many bad things might have happened. Perhaps nothing major happened to me personally, though every year is littered with seemingly arbitrary events, deaths and trauma.

One of the main things I found people say is how many celebrity deaths there was in the year. According to Wikipedia, there are quite a number, though most of them unreported. From religious leaders, doctors and politicians, it seems that celebrity is the only thing that matters to this depraved world.

I don't want to rain on your period of grieving whomever you are grieving. George Michael was the most recent celebrity death that got the attention of the mainstream media. But could all these deaths be the start of the end of celebrity? We can only hope.

This world is so disconnected from reality. Social media is aflame with egotistical, superfluous wannabes. What about the Middle East – Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Yemen? "We don't live there so who cares" is the excuse of many. Well, how about the influx of migrants into Europe? The religious persecution against Christians and other faiths? Everyone is too involved with themselves and the bubble they place themselves in than to care about reality of life for some not as fortunate to live in a free, democratic, well-off "first nation".

Why do the general public appear to care more about the death of a celebrity than the death of someone who actually changed the world somewhat? Anti-smoking doctors, heart surgeons, the physicist who gave us the "heimlich maneuver"?

Soon enough celebrity will be dead, when we realise we are all made of the same substance and all in need of God's saving grace. When Jesus Christ is coming with the clouds at trumpets blow, all of us will be looked at the same and judged accordingly. And lets face it, there aren't too many celebrities who actually do great, selfless things without thinking of a way to "make a buck."

"I AM coming soon." – Revelation 22:12

Homosexuality: The LIES and DECEIT


See the following site. No further information needed. If it's not supported by evidence – SCIENTIFIC at that – then the deniers, activists, "politically correct police" and other propagandists no longer have a foot to stand on.

I'm not saying people should stop being gay etc;. Go for it if you so wish! Just stop forcing others to agree to the lies we have been told are facts, when clearly, science tells us otherwise...

FORK IN THE ROAD

There comes a time in everyones life, a turning point – a change in thought, a fork in the road – where we drastically change our thoughts, modify our behaviours, start doing things, though many times stop doing things as well. For the last fifteen or so years I have been a self-identifying gay/bisexual man (lets not get too hung up on sexual identity labels!)

Up until very recently I was in a steady, long-term, same-sex relationship. After a good twelve-or-more months of deep thought, prayer and reflection, I had an adult conversation with my partner and we called it quits in January 2016: on the feast of the Epiphany to be exact... one could almost say, "I had an epiphany ON THE Epiphany!" Was an amicable break-up; we are still good friends: praise the Lord!

So I've lost the need to identify with a specific sexuality finding much more freedom within myself as a result. A strange time to choose to leave the gay-lifestyle at a time in history when things are drastically changing in many western nations, people becoming more accepting of gay/lesbian folk, many now forcing it upon the rest of society.

I'd like to thank several different people and sources for my change in thinking, namely the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference with their "Don't Mess With Marriage" booklet distributed nationwide in Catholic schools last year. But most of all I'd like to thank God, for without the Holy Spirit many things would have fallen on deaf ears.

Not all my research and information came from religious or "anti-gay" sources as the media portrays. A fair amount came from a well educated, feminist lesbian, Camille Paglia; in other words, I made a good effort at getting factual information, scientific information, theological information from both left and right, none could call me a bigot just because I now believe what's not the current social-norm, politically correct thing to do.

Here in Australia we have an upcoming plebiscite on the "gay marriage" issue. Thanks to God and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit I have drastically changed my mind on where I stand on the issue. I could no longer live my life, comfortable within myself, with such conflicting issues regarding my faith and sexuality, particularly when I read about the controversial "Safe Schools Coalition" already in many high-schools nationwide, teaching students unhealthy behaviours such as breast-binding and how to tuck-away your penis, and the ability for boys to go to school in dresses and vice-versa.

I've recently seen documentaries of young boys, not even into their double-figures in age, choosing to be "transgender" well before they have the mental capacity to fully understand their choices, and today I read how next month they will be teaching toddlers about sex and cross dressing in preschools, kindergartens and childcare centres!

Clearly even here in Australia the gay-lobby has gained too much power, and must be stopped. I don't want to fight for the rights of adults to live "on par" with traditional marriage. I'd much rather fight for the traditional understanding, as well as for those who are unable to fight for themselves just yet: the children of Australia, many of whom are growing up in broken homes already, without fathers etc;.

Children much be able to live their lives as children, not pushing them into the world of sexual ideologies too soon. They will have plenty of time to deal with those things when they become legal adults, unless the world finally sees through the lies of the gay agenda and yet again make drastic changes back to the way things were last century.

Perhaps if I was never exposed to the gay world at such a young age myself, who knows, but my life could have been very, very different by the time I turned 30. Maybe have a wife, my own family. A house, job, car and licence.

Instead, I must pick myself up yet again, dust myself off and see the positives to have come from the darkness in my life.

GAY+CATHOLIC =OXYMORON

Sacked CDF priest Krzysztof Charamsa and his partner, Eduardo.
SOURCE: Washington Post
Only a couple of months ago, on the eve of the synod on the family a Vatican priest came out of the closet as gay. He has a partner and believes it is time for change within the Church when it comes to LGBT Catholics. Consequently he worked in the 'Congregation of the Doctrine of Faith' (CDF) trying to bring about change from within the walls of the Vatican. In other words, he infiltrated the Church for his own personal, selfish reasons and that of other ignorant so-called gay Catholics.

Now, I say so-called gay Catholics, because to be gay is a self-imposed label. Innocently enough it starts, I for one classed myself as a gay Catholic only a couple of years ago; I have since seen through the lies: the education of the secular world, modernism, the lie that we are 'born this way' – lies; ALL LIES!!!

In my honest opinion to call yourself gay and Catholic is a complete oxymoron as the ideals of the two world are very conflicting. My point in case is that the priest I wrote of was calling for a change to teachings, more acceptance of gay and lesbian couples – basically that the Vatican should be condoning the sin of acting-out ones same-sex-attractions. The biggest issue I have here is that a) this priest should not be 'sleeping with' anyone regardless of sex. b) He took vows as all priests take of chastity, but ignored that commitment he took with God.

How can the Church say that those who feel they are exclusively same-sex-attracted are able to act on those inclinations outside the Sacrament of Marriage? Just because you're 'gay' doesn't give you any special privilege to live against the teachings of the Church while those with normal sexual attractions to the opposite sex must wait to be formed into one-flesh with marriage before they can have relations of a sexual kind. As this priest says, the Church uses 'Nazi words' against gays and that 'the Church needs a Stonewall,' referring to the New York riots of 1969, a pre-cursor to the gay rights movement in America.

After coming-out he has been sacked by the CDF, the Pontifical Universities he once lectured at and has lost his privilege to say Mass – unless he realise his HUGE error in judgement, particularly using the Synod as a tool at his disposal to cause maximum damage control, and he repents. Many would be saying that this is a grave injustice, homophobia in fact, though that is also quite reflective of the gay community and their activists, trying to shame everyone throughout the western world to accept their conditions, or condone their sins.

How can someone identify as gay, Catholic and also be a consecrated priest living in a same-sex relationship? They cannot! He knew what he was getting himself into; now he has turned his back on God in favour of the gay agenda. You can't possibly have an individual who takes religious vows of CHASTITY, perhaps one of OBEDIENCE TO SUPERIORS and treat them like they mean nothing. I am pretty darn sure they mean something to God. Becoming a priest isn't a step that is to be taken lightly. It is one that needs much prayer, study as well. You are giving yourself entirely to God – you are no longer your own person, but a person that is to be Christ-like: a servant for the Church of Christ.

Those most vulnerable to the self-imposed exile of being gay need education. They need to know what is true, what is false – specifically when it comes to gender ideology and being 'born gay.' If I had been told the truth from a younger age that sexuality does not define us as people, that I shouldn't decide on a sexuality at all – we are all children of God – perhaps my same-sex attractions wouldn't be as ingrained within me, they most likely would have simply been a phase of a young, developing, hormonally charged teen.

If I had of known back then what I know now, things would have turned out quite different indeed. Perhaps I have struggled with same-sex attraction only to at last 'see the light' so I can someway, somehow, use what I've learnt to educate others for Christ. Jesus does love gay people like he loves us all, but he does not condone the acting out of these attractions, or of any sexual encounters before marriage. We all have our own cross to bear, for some people that cross is to suffer from same-sex attraction. Pray for wisdom, discernment, patience, perseverance and perhaps one day those attractions will subside substantially or be entirely removed. 'All things are possible with God!' Matthew 19:26.

NEW Catholic iPhone App

In my news feed today on FaceBook I found a video from "Rome Reports" about a new Catholic iPhone App, created by Emanuel Estrada who is just sixteen years old. Naturally I do a search for it on my iPad and download it. I'm quite impressed! Though it's not the most technical app out there, it has enough features and information, especially given someone so young made it.

You can read the daily Mass readings, find nearby Churches, read the Bible (NRSV) as well as pray the Rosary (and other prayers!) and read a bit of Catholic news. Best of all, it's free and less than 5MB in size!

It's called "Eucharist and Truth" and though it's only available on iPhone/iPad, an Android version is coming. A website is also available @ EucharistAndTruth.com

Well done Emanuel, and keep the great work up!
