Hell is filled with those who do not love. IrishEddie, are you willing to say who that is? I’ll bet you’ll find plenty of people of all political persuasions there - and in heaven.
For my part, based on that quote, I list myself with those liberals.
IEOH, your self-righteousness is getting to be offensive. All the world except you and your like-minded bigots is sinful and d@mned to H-ll according to you. While I hold that to take a human life is wrong, I cannot go along with your diatribes with respect to the “unborn”. Morally it is suspect and biologically it is inane.
Hey, Eddie; here’s something else Jesus said. Have you ever said “…and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us…”? Do you realize you and God are making a deal here? You are asking Him to forgive you TO THE SAME EXTENT THAT YOU FORGIVE OTHERS. And God says “OK.”
Have you forgiven Kennedy? If not, then neither shall you be forgiven.
Oh God of spirits and all flesh, Who has trampled death, broken the power of Satan, and granted life to your world, grant rest to the soul of your servant, Edward Kennedy, in a place of light, joy, and peace, where there is no pain, sorrow, nor mourning. As a kind and gracious God, forgive every sin committed by him in thought, word, or deed, since there is no person who lives and does not sin. You alone are without sin, your justice is everlasting justice and your word is truth. For you are the resurrection, the life, and the repose of your departed servant, Edward Kennedy, O Christ, our God, and we glorify You, together with your eternal Father and your all-holy, gracious, and life-giving spirit, now and ever, and forever, Amen
The Church dictates that in charity I pray this for the soul of Teddy Kennedy. As an obedient son of the Church, I shall do so.
I am merely pointing out in these pages that based on his life of opposing the teachings of the Church, which is the voice of God on earth, I hope he had a sincere repentance on his deathbed. If not, he may be in some deep trouble.
May be. Do you understand what the words “may be” indicate?
I am just tired of cartoonists acting as God and drawing cartoons that show anyone who dies automatically goes to Heaven, especially if it’s a liberal. Bet they didn’t do that when Ronnie Reagan died, did they?
Look at how you Christian Absolutists have to mangle God’s Word and the inspiration of the greatest liberal, Jesus, in order to twist the truth into something ugly. The logs in your eyes will make it impossible to sit at the table of grace. Is there one among you who has not sinned against God and God’s creation. The way today’s Catholic Church bars people from the sacraments is an inspiration to the evil in your hearts.
Jesus sat with sinners, thieves, whores, and women, instead of with the good church people of his time. He never held a fetus. He held sinners. He never condemned the lost. He forgave them. He loved the least, not the holy. If you people are examples of good church people, no wonder so many people aren’t interested in the Kingdom of God. Jesus would be so uncomfortable among you holy people.
When I think about the hundreds of funerals and memorial services at which I have officiated, I can think of only one time when an attendee could not imagine a man being granted God’s mercy. She was his second wife!
But you good church people would limit God’s grace for Ted Kennedy? I pray that your hard hearts will crack one day. Maybe then you’ll love the woman who cannot bear the fetus in her body. Maybe then you will have compassion of the people who have to use the ER because they have no money for insurance. Maybe then you will love the man who believes in the goodness in us being stronger that the evil which blinds us.
The people lacking in grace and love, today, will be left out in the cold when their time comes. We’ll save you a place at the sinner’s table. But you will have to bend in order to join us!
A minister of the Gospel of grace.

Thank you! I’m posting this above my computer to remind me of why men like Senator Kennedy need to lead the country and why I continue to be a liberal.
Hasty; On top of that, who had Jesus crucified? Priests. The “I am holier than thou” croud of his day. Those who thought they had a copyright on faith.
^Or, if he has the intellect, try reading Rawls’ last work, “Justice as Fairness: A restatement”. Some of the main characteristics of liberal democracy are being composed of free and equal citizens capable of reasonable (i.e., moral) and rational judgment, and as a result of this first, plurality of comprehensive concepts. In basic terms, that means freedom of thought and conscience.
Those of true Christian faith should be praying for IrishEddie. Little does he realize that his perversions of the teachings of Christ make him a heretic, and doom his soul to everlasting torment.
Proverbs 18:7 - A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
Bob Hasty, Amen, brother. As a fellow minister of the Gospel, I concur.
kensburg, oddly enough, the definition you claim is liberal – “To me a liberal is someone who takes from those who work for a living, and give to those who don’t.” – sounds much more like a neocon.
For the record, just as many of the hardworking stiffs I know are liberal as conservative.
eddy, Where one man can draw people together,( Bob Hasty ) you turn them away. No one wants to sign up to your Hate, unless their are as sick as you are.
You and stirper, maybe one in the same ?
The last eye-witness report we have regarding the inhabitants of Hell was written by an Italian chap by the name of Dante Alighieri. I don’t remember him saying anything about liberals, but certain church officials did take a pounding. But then again, perhaps «IrishEddieOHara»’s been there more recently - no doubt, «embedded» ?…

cdward – Jesus said that the way to know those who love Him is that they keep His commandments.
One of those commandments happens to be THOU SHALT NOT MURDER.
Abortion is murder.
End of discussion.

Across the world those who blare their religious beliefs tend to demonstrate why the separation of church and state would better serve mankind. Peace.

That’s not what I think of as a Liberal. To me a liberal is someone who takes from those who work for a living, and give to those who don’t.

Liberal =
Abortion on demand
Homosexuality on demand
Gay marriage on demand.
Stealing my money to support the lazy and addicted.
And while I’m at it –
Conservative =
War, war, war – all for big business and $$$!
Supporting Capitalism.
Ignoring the plight of the genuinely needy.
Taking from the poor to give to the rich.
Which is why I don’t identify myself with either one of these SICK philosophies!!
