So, we're hard on the TV preachers, but we're nice to the Catholics?
Why is it that if a man says he can heal, everybody says, "why doesn't he go to the hospital and heal everybody?"
Why is it, when the church body gets together for communion, God's wrath is kindled?
Catholics are idol worshipers, plain and simple. They need to get saved.
For some reason, people feel we need to show them some special treatment or favoritism, but I don't understand that. Maybe it is because we don't know history...
And, when the term "christian" is used, that somehow applies to Catholics too. We're so screwed up, aren't we?!
I think I'm done using the term "christian".
If someone asks me if I'm a christian, my answer will be "No". Maybe I should say, "no, I'm not catholic..."
Or, "christian? You mean a person that goes to church?"
I am a follower of Jesus. I am a priest and a king. I am a missionary. I am a prophet and an apostle.
But, you can call me "Duane". Just Duane.

As to healings, I guess I was wrong. There are some under the mentor-ship of
JGLM that are reporting clearing out entire hospital wards. That's great!

God's wrath being kindled during communion... I found some things in my blog posts that answer this.
Unforgiveness, Sickness, Communion, Healing...
I confessed my faults, elders prayed, I found forgiveness for others through
communion and Jesus Christ, I was healed of my sickness, and now God wants me to
get in His presence...
Repentance, confessing faults, elders praying, forgiving... That's the way it is supposed to go.
But, when they don't go that way, is God pleased?
Communion, Repentance and the Eagle
Communion must have been in vain, or people were taking it unworthily; I'm not a judge, but I saw what God showed me.
Is it that their mouths serve God, but their hearts must still be in spiritual Egypt?
You can't serve God and have Egypt as your ally (the reference to the eagle).
Remember Lot's wife?
God showed me a while ago that He has expectations of us.
The Line, God's Standard
The LORD said, "I'm using this measuring line to show that my people... don't measure up, and I won't forgive them any more. - Amos 7:8b
This was the sad part. There was a verse that matched it, but I didn't want to embrace it. Then it came true-
"The blood is on your heads!"
That's Acts 18:6
But when they resisted and blasphemed, he shook out his garments and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles." - Act 18:6 NASB
Yep, there you have it. Paul was talking to the people at the synagogue (church folk?). They resisted. They blasphemed. Now I'm out seeking some lost folks (gentiles?) to introduce them to the Kingdom of God.
Wow...
