What?!!! Obama doesn't believe in a final judgment??? That does it. I'm definitely writing in RP. He's been giving final exams most of his life. You go, RP!

Robert: You quote 'There will be a final judgment in which the wicked deadwill be raised and judged according to their works. Whosoever is not found written in the Book of Life, together with the devil and his angels, thebeast and the false prophet, will be consigned to the everlasting punishmentin the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.' What you quote is in the Bible. The difference between Dispensationalists (including Pentecostals and Charismatics) is that they interpret passages such as this literally in all respects, i.e., a literal book and a literal lake of fire; whereas the traditional church has seen more symbolism. But all "orthodox" Christians believe in a final judgment. [Wright, Cone and Obama probably don't. I've seen no sign that their sect is orthodox] Lawrence -----Original Message-----From: lit-ideas-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:lit-ideas-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Robert Paul Sent: Sunday, September 14, 2008 7:40 PM To: lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [lit-ideas] Re: More on Obama's church Lawrence wroteI've no idea what you're talking about, Julie. Are you quoting from one of the many lies the Left in panic has hurled at Palin? I haven't heard them all. Most of them aren't very interesting. It sounds like you're hurling this one at an Assemblies of God church in good standing.Whew. I was afraid for a minute there that it had lost its good standing by allowing evolutionary biologists who don't believe in the Flintstone Doctrine, i.e., that dinosaurs and humans roamed the earth together, to become members. It's just a benign little group of Christians, doing their best to promote understanding and tolerance, as one of their beliefs well illustrates. 'There will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works.

If you didn't have a chance to read the "Weird Theology of Wasilla" piece that circulated on the list, I would be happy to cull a few of the most pertinent sentences and post them. Killing people because they don't want to convert to your understanding of God is an odd way of perceiving love.

It kept sending me to my Gmail incoming box. But I watched the second and third. I have never heard of "refuge states"; so I can't comment on that. The third video repeats the second. Did you listen to these, Julie? As to the third except for the bit about the Refuge states, I could say amen. All that talk about God's love is a refreshing change from watching all that hate coming out of videos presenting the views of Reverend Wright and James Cone. Just remember, the candidate you like got 17 years of hate from Jeremiah Wright. And you are scared by all that love coming out of Alaska? I de clare.
