   I agree with the whorish daughter bit.  I didn't want to believe it for   
   a long time, but Luther was Catholic, so little wonder.

   Well, the bible does say...   
      
   (KJV)   
   Act 8:32  The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led   
   as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so   
   opened he not his mouth:   
   Act 8:33  In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall   
   declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.   
      
   (The Message)   
   Act 8:33  He was mocked and put down, never got a fair trial. But who   
   now can count his kin since he's been taken from the earth?   
      
   It fits with the Lord I know who gave up everything.   
      
      
      
      
      
   Michael Christ   
      
   --   
   Jesus is the everlasting Father, Jesus is God, Jesus is the Lord.   
      
   Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were   
   YET sinners, Christ died for us.   
      
   Jeremiah 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it   
   is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.   
      
   Psalms 53:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt   
   are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.   
      
   Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that   
   hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.   
      
   "To seek your own will is to seek your own glory."   
      
   "If God is not first in everything He is not first in anything."   
      
   "What makes the bible the truth? The resonance of God."   
      
   "All men were born sinners. Why? Because all men were born not loving   
   God with all their heart, soul, and mind. An abomination. Therefore,   
   sin is not what you do; it is what you are."   
      
   "Compromise will condemn you."   
      
   "There are no sinners in Christ Jesus."

   "I merely speak the truth, what is revealed to me, and the cards fall   
   where God intends."   
      
   "Nothing that is produced is produced without first being faith."   
      
   "You can only find proof of God through faith because that is how we all   
   live, by faith."   
      
   "It is not what you do that matters, it is how you treat Me."   
      
   "Keep going forward. Forget about the past. Lift up your head, look   
   ahead."   
      
   "You cannot be free and free indeed with guilt in your heart."   
      
   "Priority is everything."   
      
   "The truth doesn't need evidence, it is evidence."   
      
   "There is no greater possession a man has than his own will, to squander   
   it or to place it where it truly belongs."   
      
   "An atheist is a fool who thinks truth is found in living a lie."   
      
   "Saying "prove it" [as a foundation] is merely an ignorant straw man, to   
   an ignorant straw man."   
      
   "Wait, rest, be still, and know."   
      
   "No man can wash his own hands!!!"   
      
   "I find this in the Christianity religions: 'Nobody's perfect' they say,   
   and they use that as an excuse not to do what is perfect."   
      
   The Atheist: "They don't believe and put their faith in a Creator (the   
   obvious). So no evidence and proof is to be found!!"   
      
   "The world is the way it is because God can't compromise who He is."   
      
   "Man is not the centre of being."   
      
   "Man is incompatible with the natural world because of his sinful nature."   
      
   "And then the Lord said, "I see everything."   
      
   "Man has no greater idol than his own will."   
      
   "Where is God hiding? He isn't."   
      
   "If you don't keep all the scriptures, you can't keep any of them."   
      
   "You can't prove anything because everything depends on a person's   
   willingness to believe."   
      
   "Atheists are ultimately trying to be pointlessness, meaninglessness,   
   and purposelessness in their point, meaning, and purpose."   
      
   "The last day of creation will be the last day of time. God is always   
   full of hope."   
      
   "The veil of the temple was rent in twain, not to have a book pass   
   through it so that you could play God."   
      
   "A phylactery does not a heart for God make. Not back then, and not today."   
      
   "No one in heaven is better (or higher) than what makes it heaven. Such   
   is the love of God."   
      
   "The definition of an atheist: A man full of bluster and bullshit   
   pretending he is the meaning of life."   
      
   "Free will is not power; it is the choice that I allow; that choice is   
   still according to my power," says the Lord.   
      
   What does a fool do? A fool looks for a "nothing" in a "something" in   
   order to explain the existence of existence.   
      
   "Unless you do all because He is who He is, all your religion is in vain."   
      
   "Every man is subject to God; He judges every man, and He is reality.   
     What a gift in a fallen world!"   
      
   "Love MUST be a choice or it is nothing but a law!"   
      
   "Why were all men born sinners? So that God could reveal Himself, so   
   that we would behold the glory of God, and that we should bring forth   
   the glory of God"   
      
   "God does not and will not arbitrate for any man to love Him!  If God   
   isn't everything to you, He is nothing to you where the rubber meets the   
   road."   
      
   "It is the unforgivable sin not to love God with all your heart, soul,   
   and mind, because what do you have that is lasting?  It is not so much   
   being punished, it is what you are left with."   
      
   "Love isn't worth anything without first a free will choice for God to   
   birth it in a man."
