On My Break-Up With My Previous Blog

Inception

There where it seems there is no hope, that's when the true creation and the life of the faithful begin. When all the earthly powers crumble, that's when the church is born.

About my last three weeks of postings...

Romans 2:21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself ? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? 23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? 24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

Misquoting Jesus: Alternative Manuscript Version of Matthew 25

Matthew 25:41  Then shall He say also unto them on the left hand: Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels! 44 Then shall they also answer Him, saying: Lord, have we not blogged in thy Name? 45 Then shall He answer them, saying: Verily I say unto you: Go away, I never knew you!

My Good, Dear, and Close Friend, Robert Paxton, Wrote a Book About Me and My Apologetic Efforts !

Names were changed, of course, out of personal courtesy towards me, my privacy, and my reputation (or what's left of it, anyway):

Giving up this sin would be the best thing about going back to [Romania]. He felt like a hypocrite, going out to revivals with [Father] Greg and talking about Jesus, knowing that, at least once a week, he would take the wrong bus downtown to see Senora Menjivar, a young widow. She hadn’t accepted Jesus into her heart when they met a few months ago, but she had told JD that she would accept him into her apartment any day of the week. Once he got out of here, he wouldn’t be susceptible to that temptation anymore. He knew some girls in [Arad] that would be dazzled by his missionary stories. And he had his degree. It was time to think about settling down, starting a career, having kids. Maybe he would enter the ministry. Of course, he had considered staying at the mission, marrying a local girl, becoming his own Abraham, a man faithful to God in a foreign land. He had even thought of saving Claudia and marrying her, or vice versa. But that situation was just too complicated. As it neared his stop the bus passed the cathedral. A number of people on board made the sign of the cross [backwards]. JD shook his head. He was a sinner, but at least he wasn’t a [papist]. Really, I ought to look at it that way, he thought, trying to cheer up. It wasn’t so bad, what he did. It wasn’t like he was a sodomite. She was a grown, healthy woman. Besides, he always wore a condom.

The Easter Song

Cargo featuring Dorin Teodorescu


Those who still have God,
Those who know what love is,
You who care about your neighbor...

Come, reach me your hand, and wipe off the tear from those sad eyes...

This night shall put an end
To the madness and hatred that beset us;
The wheel of time stood still...

And in the windows, one after another, the candles were lit...

Today is the day we've been waiting for,
Today is the moment we've been dreaming of,

Today is the great day, and let us witness how Jesus shall vanquish now death and evil from the world...

Come, let us sing, let us rejoice, let us worship, come on!
