snowbird: "molech was the god of the children of ammon, chemosh, the children of moab, yhwh, the children of israel.. .

i did not want to mess up the thread, so i decided to start a new one.

Molech was the god of the children of YHWH?

That is not what the text you attribute to her states.

Acts 10:19, 20 - Destroying the Holy Spirit personification argument

by GOrwell in

this set of scriptures pretty much demolishes "the holy spirit is only god's active force and is only personified throughout the bible" argument (as if the rest book of acts doesn't already).

these verses pretty much put the nail in the coffin of that argument :.

acts 10:19,20 - nwt.

Aguest, I am a Catholic. This is a Catholic prayer. I use it when I pray the Rosary.

On your interpretation of the Bible, I do not think you are an authority for anyone except yourself. The Bible is not a comprehensive compendium of Christian teaching, although it contains much of it. The comprehensive compendium of Christian teaching is the Church itself.

I cannot see where glorifying him as an additional entity is necessary.

Then why baptize in his name, if he is not an additional entity as Jesus said in Matthew 28?

baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

The Christian Bible you hold today is a Catholic book. Christians did not have a Bible composed of the individual books for the first 300 years. Members of the Church wrote the books of the new testament, preserved them, decided what writings were actually sacred scripture, and what writings were not. The decision on what is and is not Scripture was a Catholic (and I include the Orthodox in this) decision.

Respectfully, when it comes to the interpretation of Christian doctrine and its sacred writings, I give the Church far greater weight than I give you. I go with orthodoxy, and that which has been handed down from the Apostles, not all of which is contained in the Bible.

God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.

Well that is a statement of opinion, and I am all for that. However, the facts are what the facts are, and yet again, you have find yourself with rotten eggs on your face when it comes to the facts.

The Hyde amendment was extended to cover the Affordable Care Act. Same as it's been for 35 years.

No it was not:

However, the Senate bill passed by the House on March 21, 2010 did not contain that Hyde Amendment language

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyde_Amendment

Get your facts straight. And no, the executive statement is not a Hyde Amendment. It is not law. It exists at the whim of someone (Obama) that repeatedly blocked attempts at saving the lives of children that survived abortions (BAIPA). It is a joke.

How? Where?

The Stupak amendment, which explicitly prevented federal funding of abortions got struck out of the final version of Obamacare.

Obama signed an executive order banning it in order to get enough votes, but, soon after it passed, Sebelius went about ignoring it. Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.

It gets funded through the high risk pools and other ways:

Here is Rahm Emanuel on it a few days ago.

http://www.sba-list.org/suzy-b-blog/rahm-emmanuel-reveals-truth-about-abortion-obamacare

Carol Moseley Braun: …Stupak-Pitts took from women in the new health plan the right to choose, or at least to have it covered…. You wound up being the person tagged with making that, quote, compromise happen….

Rahm Emanuel: …That is a fair question, and I’ll explain it. President Obama was determined to get his healthcare bill passed. There were 14 votes that were holding up , and my job as chief-of-staff was to help the president get – after a hundred years of waiting for comprehensive reform of healthcare – to help him get that legislation.

Carol Moseley-Braun: And so you threw women under the bus?

Rahm Emanuel: And it was hanging in balance by 14 votes. I came up with an idea for an executive order to allow the Stupak Amendment not to exist by law but by executive order, and it was good enough that Nancy Pelosi, Jan Schakowsky – here in Chicago, Rosa DeLauro, Anna Eshoo – a number of women who are held – Nita Lowey – who are held up as honors by people like NARAL and Planned Parenthood, who supported that bill and supported the way to make progress.

It's been 35 years since federal funding was banned, you can relax now.

Abortion is funded by Obamacare, and is only held back by the fig leaf of an executive order.

A ban is currently in legislation.

And yes, the thought of the wholesale slaughter of millions of little lives that cannot speak in their own defense, even if I never get to see them, does get my juices flowing.

Wrong. The Holy Spirit is a Person different than the Son. The Son sends him from the Father (He does not say I, He speaks of Another):

"When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me.

and He is not inanimate.

He snatches away.

And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch saw him no more, but went on his way rejoicing.

He bears witness

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

He intercedes on behalf of our weaknesses.

And in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words

He grieves as only a person does.

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

He has a mind:

and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

And speaks:

But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons

And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, "Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on!’" "Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow with them."

The Holy Spirit is the Lord:

Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

...of equal divine stature with the Father and the Son.

baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all."

As I myself pray:

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now
and ever shall be, world without
end.

Amen.

Well of course there is guilt. Willfully killing innocent little humans is an insult to the conscience.
