Stem Cell Research and God Does Not Just Say "Thou Shall Not" , there is no law against anything which is good, and there is a very strong suggestion from God that we actually engage in these things, and many others - that we actively do our utmost to do good. With this in mind, how can Michael J. Fox reconcile his recommendation that stem cell research proceed in an attempt to find a cure for his illness - when he knows stem cells come from babies, and that virtually all of the stem cells which will be used in this research will come from murdered babies. It once came exclusively from the birth of babies, but that most imaginative of murderers of babies, United States President William Jefferson Clinton, has seen to it that stem cells from babies murdered in abortion will now be used in this research. It sometimes is difficult to follow the "Thou Shalt nots", but it is surprisingly easy to do the things against which there is no law. when a pro-choice, pro-abortionist, pro-murderer, gives a child a candy, it is for the pro-murderer's purposes and not God's. But when a pro-life person gives a child a candy, it is because it is pleasing to the giver in a Holy manner, and because it brings Holy pleasure to the child, and is pleasing to God v11n1p14

AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION ADVOCATES COLD BLOODED MURDER, PROMOTES HOMOSEXUAL AND LESBIAN BAR ASSOCIATIONS, in annual meeting of August, 1992, approved unrestricted abortion as a right without regard to rights of child, lawyers generally have difficulty perceiving beyond the law, in most legal minds morality has no place, lawyers disregard their moral obligations, many lawyers resign from the ABA because of its pro abortion on demand stance, ABA uses fees from pro life lawyers to promote abortion, v2n12p4 - link is to PDF file, issue page one

Remember the Dead: This year we urge you to remember those babies who have been killed in abortion, for while many of us think of them as martyrs for Our Lord, we also know they have died without the Sacrament of Baptism, and may need our prayers to assist them in what ever it is Our Lord may request of them. v10n4p

How Precious Is Each Child: It is impossible to comprehend the vast number, the un-believable percentage, of people who chose to be slaves of sin through killing of babies and offering their broken bodies on Satan's altar. Instead of seeking to feed and comfort them, as Our Lord did the multitude who had followed Him into the countryside, these slaves of the temporary existence commit the most horrible deed possible. They torture little babies to death. v10n3p

Pro-Abortion Groups Fight Unborn Victims Of Violence Act: The bill, (HR 2436), would establish, for purposes of federal criminal law, that unborn children are human beings who can be the victims of federal crimes over and above any harm done to their mothers v10n3p

Abortion - Tax Paid or Insurance Paid, is there a difference: If we oppose Medicaid paid abortions because it uses our tax money for purposes we consider immoral, should not the use of insurance premiums for insurance company paid abortions also be opposed? Does this impose upon us a new duty, that of ascertaining whether or not our health insurance company (if we are fortunate enough to have health insurance) pays for abortions? It appears the obligation is imposed. v4n1p6

Respect For Life: Mother Theresa is right. If a child does not have its life respected by the mother who is carrying it, then how can we expect society at large to have any respect for any life. The warnings were made in the late fifties and early sixties. Artificial birth control would lead to abortions, and abortions would lead to assisted suicides, and now we warn, assisted suicide will lead to the government or its designee deciding who will live and who will die. On birth control - I told you so. On Abortions - I told you so. On suicide - I told you so. v4n1p6

Is There A Difference, comparisons between acknowledged sinful conduct and what is perceived to be ordinary conduct: s there a difference between saying you can not impose your morality on someone else, and therefore you do not have the right to protect unborn life by prohibiting abortions, and actually assisting someone to have an abortion, or forcing someone to have an abortion, or forcing people to assist in the payment of someone else having an abortion? v4n1p6

PURGATORY

The Martyrdom of Saints Perpetua and Felicitas, (including an indication of Purgatory or perhaps Limbo) v11n7p1

Purgatory and Prostitutes: We must become sin with Christ so that in His death inwhich sin died, sin will also die in us - it is not that we become sinful, but that sin, which died with Christ, becomes dead for us. Very few of us will attain that state of Holiness in this life. So, since that state of life is attained through study, learning, practice, fasting and suffering in this life, it will be attained by something similar in the next life, only that process in the next life will be under the direct control of God in His Justice. That is why Saint Peter wrote, But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, will himself perfect you and confirm you and establish you. (1 Peter 5:10). Saint Peter is referring to Purgatory, not to suffering in this life. It will not be pleasant, but it will be better than Hell. v10n4p

Tend to Your Soul, The Soil Where God's Seed Grows (You Can Scrub Now, Or Get Scrubbed Later), Because of the greatness of the gifts God gave to him, Saint Paul could have easily exhalted in that greatness, and in the greatness of the favor which God showed to him. But Saint Paul also suffered from an infirmity which he asked God to remove. God refused, for in that infirmity God's greatness was made manifest in the form of the great gifts He constantly gave Saint Paul. v11n3p8

Giving Evidence Of God's Work In You, every time we ignore these little "peccadilloes", we are not giving testimony for Christ, and we are not giving evidence of God's work in us, We have not been with Christ from the beginning of His physical presence on Earth, nor have we been with Him from the instant of the beginning of our existence, but we are with Him now. Since we are with Him now, we too must give testimony of Christ. We do that primarily by being living evidence of what Our Lord has taught v11n3p9

The Stupidity Of Sin, Turning Sin to Benefit, Our Lord brought the son of the Widow of Naim back to life.

Today we can confidently anticipate the sentence will end in the expression of a right to commit sin v11n2p1

Democracy V. Kingdom, Individualism v. Communion, Non-Union v. Union of Wills, Libertine v. God, It does not take great wisdom to acknowledge reality, but it does take great stupidity to refuse to acknowledge reality. In the modern American democracy, there has occurred a dramatic shift from a representative democratic rule, to a libertine rule. A libertine rule is one in which each person does what ever they will without consideration of any effect, good or bad, on anyone else or anything else. In a libertine rule each person refuses to be held accountable for his own acts, omissions, thoughts, and emotions. v11n2p1

The Problem Of Evil Leaders, Saint Paul said his times were evil. The times are also evil today, and it appears many of the leaders of today are also evil. This does not apply to just the obvious, which is government leaders. It also applies to those in positions of authority in all forms of organizations. v11n1p1

The Old and New Covenants: Error is Joyless but Love Remains, Imagine the hardness which is required to follow the Old Covenant, then imagine that same standard being applied to you yourself, God loves those in Heaven and those in Hell v11n1p1

Happiness In Life With and Without Direction When you find a person who is happy, who seems contented even in adversity, who can not abide unjust and intolerable situations especially when those situations effect persons other than themselves but who maintains joy even in adversity which effects themselves and others, you will find that person has goals, direction, and purpose in life. But if you look at a person who is really not happy, who bemoans most situations and finds fault even with the best of what is part of their life, the you will find that person lacks direction, purpose, and goals. v11n1p1

The Motive of Love Never Misses God's Mark, But Almost Every Other Motive Does "Be not wise in your own conceits," is very good advice. Some people consult with fortune tellers in an attempt to control that which creatures, the created ones, can not control. Other people seek to obtain the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, and some even claim to invoke them at will, again, in an attempt to control that which created entitles can not control, and also in an attempt to attain fame and acclaim. When a person seeks to exercise that power which is God's and God's alone, he always fails; and he fails because his motive is himself. v11n1p1

Use Your Intellect As Well As Your Heart, If you function only in the emotional level of understanding, you will lose virtually all of what Our Lord is telling us in these passages. You must use your intellect. Not only are we bring advised to not seek the place of honor because we might be moved to a lower place and be embarrassed; we are being told to not seek the place of honor, to not seek celebrity, to not seek to be in the forefront, but rather to let God decide where we will be. We are not to seek the powers of the Holy Spirit; we are only to accept them if they are offered to us - and that offering will always be a temporary matter. v11n1p15

More Garbage Goes On In Christ's Name Than You Can Shake A Stick At, There are more lying, thieving, self adoration practicing, self seeking, so called charismatic miracle workers preachers and enlightened, know more than God, propagandist of Satan, of both genders, in more guises and disguises, than any sane person can began to comprehend. v11n1p16

How do We Hope?, Do we hope the calvary will ride over the horizon and trample our enemies? Or do we use the Grace which God has given to us, and hope for eternal life in God? Trampling our enemies might give us a respite from one immediate situation, but it will neither grant respite from the eternal struggle, nor will it grant victory in the eternal struggle. If you hope for temporal things, then what you will receive will be temporary: your spouse will be temporary, your wealth will be temporary, and you will lose everything you value in your eternity. But if you hope for eternal union with God, then your spouse will be twofold eternal, for you will have the permanent human spouse who will be the love of your life, and that marriage will be in God; and your wealth will be eternal, for without regard to what ever wealth you may also have of a temporal nature you will value the eternal wealth you will have in ever increasing measure; and you will not just keep everything in eternity, but will actually increase in everything which is of God in ever increasing measure, eternally. v11n1p16

Faith and Miracles, NO. Love and Miracles! Yes! . . . The Miracle of You: There are many different types of miracles, but most people consider a miracle to be something which has no possibility given the pathology of the situation. Faith is not necessary for God to work a miracle for and in you, . Prior to your conception you did not exist, but even though you did not exist, God loved you so much that the miracle of you happened v11n1p18

Apocalypse Ch 18, Is This The United States of America? v10n4p

Seeking Knowledge Versus Presumption: In order to teach, a Priest must first learn, and he can only learn through study; common, hard work, study. The laity are obligated to learn, with their primary teachers being the Priests, for since God has ordered His Priests to teach everyone, then everyone is obligated to learn that which the Priests teach. Two of the many things which follow from the foregoing simple application of logic are very important, for they apply to both Priests and laity. First: Intuitive so called "knowledge", and the form of so called "knowledge" obtained by osmosis, and lack of knowledge through avoidance of study, and plain and simple ignorance, are all the same, and are all impermissible when the subject matter is God and what God wants. Second: Only those with Apostolic Succession have the Divinely appointed authority and Divinely appointed right to teach. v10n4p

Sin Corrupts Man and All of Nature: The effects of sin are far beyond the harm to the sinner and those against whom the sin is directly made. Sin harms all of creation, and it is reasonable to believe that except for a handful of persons such as The Blessed Ever Virgin Mary, Saint John the Baptist, Elias, Elija, Our Lord - except for some very few, all humans who attain the age of reason sin. Even Saint Peter was a sinful man and confessed being such to Our Lord. As an ancillary note: It is interesting to note that Our Lord did not tell Saint Peter that Saint Peter would cease being a sinful man. What Our Lord told Saint Peter was, Fear not: from henceforth thou shalt catch men. One who refuses to acknowledge his sinfulness can not be a servant of Our Lord v10n4p

Our Task And Our Struggle (constant spiritual exercise is the only means of obtaining spiritual strength) Our Lord Jesus Christ once gave a man this task: to push against a giant boulder every day. That is all Our Lord told the man, "I want you to push against this boulder all of the work day, every day." v10n4p

The Simple And True Reasons for Being Good are in God, Not in History: In all that we experience in life, in all that we observe, think, and do, we must have a concept of God, and of Divine Love, for without these we live without Hope; without these there is no reason to seek to become good and to oppose evil. Seeking good and opposing evil for the sake of mankind is a hollow pursuit, for geology, archaeology, and the sciences tell the Godless that the human race will one day become extinct, as did the dinosaurs and other "rulers of the Earth". v10n4p

There is No (Moral) Middle Ground: There are many who advocate finding the middle ground between strict, blind adherence to the law, and the libertine; between the non-thinkers and the free thinkers; between the strict constructionists and the anarchist. However, God's Truth does not change. God's Law does not change. Dogma, the revealed truth of God, does not change, unless, of course, your god is you, or mankind, or mankind's ungodly desires - but then it is your dogma and not God's Dogma to which you make reference, and it is God's Dogma to which we make reference. v10n3p

Letter versus Spirit of the Law: A really good example of spirit of the law versus letter of the law is President Clinton's sexual escapade with Monica Lewinski. Unfortunately, there is no delicate way of stating this. President Clinton said he did not have sex with the woman. According to the definition of sexual intercourse he did not have sexual intercourse, but he did engage in the most extreme of sexual activities with her. Therefore, according to the letter of the law defining sexual intercourse he did not have sexual intercourse, but he did have sex with her because their sexual activities were everything short of intercourse and their activities did result in orgasm. In his twisted mind Clinton equated sex with sexual intercourse v10n3p

The Blessing Of Hope For Our Generation of God: There are some situations which leave only two possibilities. A good example is, if you ask someone, "Is the light in the shed on?" and they truthfully answer no, then you know the shed should be dark. If they answer, "Yes," then there should be light in the shed. What about when the light is burned out? Well, then the light is not on, so it is dark in the shed. v10n3p

Twice Dream: There was a pleasant feeling in the air as I mixed with the small groups of people walking and talking somewhat aimlessly about. Then a man walked up to me and said, "Be careful, especially around the trees, and look at anyone who approaches you." "Why?", I asked, "Is there something wrong?"

The Cross Bearer (on suffering): St. Theophan the Recluse (Russian, 1800’ds) wrote, "One can not go after the Lord, the Cross Bearer, without a cross."

Has Sunday Ben Murdered: v4n1p1

Religious Argument, Keeping the Lord’s day Holy has a long tradition of being a day of and for prayer, and a day of rest for the worker, as well as many other aspects. What is the tradition of the vast majority of society, today, in keeping the Lord’s day Holy? Just twenty years age it was virtually unheard of in most parts of the USA, for most businesses to be open on Sunday. v4n1p1

Secular Argument, Next thing you know, they’ll be saying real estate agents should not show houses on Sunday, because that is working. Sundays were made for man, not as something which was to bind him but as a day during which he could do what he pleased. And of course, FOOTBALL v4n1p1

Comment, Of course Sunday has not been murdered. Secular forces are very strongly attempting to remove observance of Sunday as a Holy Day, a day set apart for God and man, just as the French Revolution attempted to kill religion by going to a ten day week, thus attempting to obliterate the Lord’s Day. There are serious considerations we must make in reviewing our conduct on Sunday. v4n1p2b
