Re: [WI Catholic Musings] New comment on A Message from Lori Kalner.
My response to Denny Gee is also published in the com box at the original page where the original comment was left, but it will get lost among all of the other entries. Therefore, I am also putting it here, with his original email (minus his email address) just as he sent it to me. There are hyperlinks below that will take you to the original, and this one takes you to where I wrote about 'one stop comment droppers'.
Taking Scripture out of context does not make a good case, Denny Gee.
The post that you responded to had NOTHING said about Obama, for one thing, but you seem to have forgotten that Jesus called things as they were, and HE loved everyone. He called the Scribes and Pharisees "names", and even told them WOE TO YOU, many times, as He admonished them for their sins!
He called them WHITE-WASHED TOMBS... FOOLS... BLIND GUIDES...BROOD OF VIPERS!
He was speaking Truth, and He was calling them on their behavior. Speaking to issues is NOT unChristian, Denny Gee. It is our duty to call attention to evil.
Trashing Mr Obama by speaking untruths about him would be wrong.
Trashing Mr Obama's stand on issues is not.
Speaking of a time in the past where certain behaviors and actions by a government led to more evil, which is happening again, is also not wrong. It is WARNING.
The Prophets often spoke things that people did not like to hear, and sometimes, things they said were not 'politically correct' in the way that they said them! When the people HEEDED their words, they ended up ok. Those who did NOT... well.. one example is Noah .. how many of those people who watched him build that Ark were actually ON the Ark when that Flood came??
HEED THIS VERY IMPORTANT WORD OF WARNING FROM THE LORD HIMSELF:
Ezekiel 3:
17: "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me.
18: If I say to the wicked, `You shall surely die,' and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand.
19: But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you will have saved your life.
20: Again, if a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die; because you have not warned him, he shall die for his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.
21: Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man not to sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and you will have saved your life."
Believe me, MANY are praying for this election, and for the candidates of this election. But God does NOT just call us to pray. He calls us to ACTION, and to speak out against things that are not good, are not what they seem to be... He calls us to His Truth. He sends warnings before Judgement!
As for your signature... I have no idea at all if you are a true believer/servant or not, but you are a CHILD of the Living God for certain.
As am I.
God bless!

Obama!
Tit 3:1 & 2; Put them in mind to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to every good work, (2) to speak evil of no one, not being quarrelsome, but forbearing, showing all meekness to all men.
Along with many other scriptures that tell us, who are Christians, what not to do! Likewise, we are to seek our Abba Father when we have concerns about anything or anyone! Do you remember Matthew 6:33 and 34, Seek you first the kingdom of God!
How do you say you love God when you do not love your neighbor! Very important to remember that we have responsibilities when we say we love Jesus and follow the teachings of our Lord and Master!
Yes, it is alright to have concerns regarding Mr. Barrack Obama and the presidency of our America but we don't wallow in the mud of the pigs to put him down! If you disagree with Mr. Obama, you pray for him, not trash him!
You have concerns for others, you want this one or that one healed or saved or filled with the Holy Spirit; the same thing applies here!
We are commanded to love our neighbor,we don't have to like him, but we must love him! If you are going to follow the teachings of Jesus in one way, you have to follow His teachings in all ways! You can not pick and choose what you will profess today or tommorrow! You must be a complete Christian, taking and holding all of His teachings as special and as your direction for you life!
I say to you, if you send emails around that bad mouth Mr. Obama, then you are backbitting and you do not love God!
Denny Gee, servant of the Living God!
