<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=4>Thanks for the come back there Eagle. I'm
not offended at all, I have heard some of ALL of it through the past eighty
years. It was God who was offended and thats not only my openion, It's a fact.
Any thing that does not Glorify God is a sin. And yes, we all sin i realize
that- just because those of us who have accepted Christ as their personal
Savior doesn't mean that we quit sinning. We all sin. But, we must
ask God for forgivness of those sins. We get forgivness through the blood
of Christ. It's through His blood that those of us who have accepted Christ
is declared righteous. As far as I am concerned the "joke"? of April 1St. is a
thing of the past--over and done with. But I am one who didn't dig it and am so
glad to have had the oppertunity to voice my stand with the Lord. John
14:6 Thanks again for responding Eagle, Lou </FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Lou,<BR> First I need
to apologize if I offended you. It was not meant as such.
<BR> After getting you message I
re-read the joke in an effort to re-evaluate my position and I must conclude
the same. I do not see anything in there that I would be offended at
even if I was Catholic. I think this joke has a lot of whit and does a
very good job of comparing pre-reformation Catholicism to modern day
Microsoft. During the Middle Ages the Catholic Church did claim
exclusive rights to distributing the Bible, even to keeping it in Latin so
that only the clergy could read it.
<BR> Again I apologize if what I said
offended
you.<BR><BR>Eagle<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>GCFL-discuss
