well this is something i am wondering too  especially since i have been in a Catholic environment for the pass 2 weeks.  I didn't partake of their service but i did go and stand up when everyone stood up.  Nor did i bow down to their alter or take communion.  I didn't want to be involved in their sacraments.

I've only been inside a Catholic church once [well, technically twice, but the first was for about 5 minutes...] but it was just for a friend's wedding, not an actual service. But even that was strange enough me. The priest did have communion for those who wished to participate and I recall seeing all the kids running up to be first in line to receive their wafer and grape juice... [they must've been starving.. it was a long ceremony... I even debated on taking some myself...]  :D

Well this was a few years ago, so I had not yet found BT, and was still going [off and on] to my mother's Baptist church. I recall in the Catholic church so many statutes, as Darren before mentioned. I remember it actually made me feel uncomfortable, it was very eerie inside there; I felt like there were spirits all around me staring at me... extremely odd!!  ??? :o


Anyways, I'm not really going anywhere with this, just wanted to share...

In all the instances these are God's people who are being judged...not the heathen..God's people are judged because He came them special revelations of Himself..and when they turned to other gods it was an insult to  the God of Israel, their God! He TOLD them NOT to do it! He never commanded the heathen...God's plan?? Remember we are told that "judgment begins at the house of God" all judgments, throughout history? maybe...My thoughts...

Excellent thoughts.  Maybe to those who are given the most, more is expected.  Sort of like the blessing of my "falling" onto Ray's site here and the wealth of information.  I figured I was obliged to change the world by delivering the good new to everyone around me.  Wow, that sure made enemies of friends.

Hugs and blessings,
Pogo
