Hi Al, I'm still waiting for the response to my last posts to you. I
remember that you made some amorphous comments, but nothing of substance.
I know that you are consumed by your hatred for Catholics, I just wonder
why?

I suspect a little too much Brother Stair and Pastor Peters and a little
too little critical thinking on your part. Also, I just don't understand
why people such as yourself feel free to pick and choose what you wish to
adhere to in the Bible and what you wish to ignore.

On an interesting note, Alex Jones is currently listening to a caller
with, you guessed it, the belief that Catholics are trying to destroy the
U.S. Constitution. I truly feel sorry for those like Al Patrick who spend
every waking moment suffering neurosis about Catholics.

Unlike Stadtmiller, Alex kicks the callers ass. The caller indicated that
there was a conspiracy in the 1800s to gain control of the U.S. by
immigrating Irish and Italians to the U.S., in theory, since they are
Catholics, therefore they will gain control. Alex puts him in his place
by saying that if they were trying to do this, they were failing since
the U.S. Catholic Church is falling apart. He also mentioned the
unfortunate demise of President Kennedy, also a Catholic. The caller
believes that the Catholic Church is immigrating Mexicans to try to gain
control, just like Al Patrick believes. (Maybe it was Al).

Contrary to your belief, Faith alone is likely not sufficient.

James 2:20 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

James 2:26 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is
dead also.

How about a refresher on my original comments. You seem to have a fear of
Scarlet and Purple, a complete disregard for "Love your enemy", as well
as obsessed by the Whore of Babylon. I posted the following, quoting from
the King James version, yet you did not answer.


With Regards Always

Dr. Artaud



1 John 4:20 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he
that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom
he hath not seen?

Or:

Luke 6:27-38 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)

But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which
hate you,

Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and
him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.

Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy
goods ask them not again.

And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also
love those that love them.

And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for
sinners also do even the same.


Exodus 28:4 (King James Version)
And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an
ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they
shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may
minister unto me in the priest's office.
And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine
linen.
And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of
scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work.
And the curious girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the
same, according to the work thereof; even of gold, of blue, and purple,
and scarlet, and fine twined linen.


"#4: Clothed in Purple and Red
Hunt states, "She [the Whore] is clothed in 'purple and scarlet' (verse
4), the colors of the Catholic clergy." He then cites the Catholic
Encyclopedia to show that bishops wear certain purple vestments and
cardinals wear certain red vestments.

Hunt ignores the obvious symbolic meaning of the colors-purple for
royalty and red for the blood of Christian martyrs. Instead, he is
suddenly literal in his interpretation. He understood well enough that
the woman symbolizes a city and that the fornication symbolizes something
other than literal sex, but now he wants to assign the colors a literal,
earthly fulfillment in a few vestments of certain Catholic clergy.

Purple and red are not the dominant colors of Catholic clerical
vestments. White is. All priests wear white (including bishops and
cardinals when they are saying Mass)-even the pope does so.

The purple and scarlet of the Whore are contrasted with the white of the
New Jerusalem, the Bride of Christ (Rev. 19:8). This is a problem for
Hunt for three reasons: (a) we have already noted that the dominant color
of Catholic clerical vestments is white, which would identify them with
New Jerusalem if the color is taken literally; (b) the clothing of the
Bride is given a symbolic interpretation ("the righteous acts of the
saints;" 19:8); implying that the clothing of the Whore should also be
given a symbolic meaning; and (c) the identification of the Bride as New
Jerusalem (Rev. 3:12, 21:2, 10) suggests that the Whore may be old
(apostate) Jerusalem-a contrast used elsewhere in Scripture (Gal.
4:25-26).

Hunt ignores the liturgical meaning of purple and red in Catholic
symbolism. Purple symbolizes repentance, and red honors the blood of
Christ and the Christian martyrs.

It is appropriate for Catholic clerics to wear purple and scarlet, if for
no other reason because they have been liturgical colors of the true
religion since ancient Israel.

Hunt neglects to remind his readers that God commanded that scarlet yarn
and wool be used in liturgical ceremonies (Lev. 14:4, 6, 49-52; Num.
19:6), and that God commanded that the priests' vestments be made with
purple and scarlet yarn (Ex. 28:4-8, 15, 33, 39:1-8, 24, 29)."

"The Greek word in this passage is horos. Of the sixty-five occurrences
of this word in the New Testament, only three are rendered "hill" by the
King James Version. The remaining sixty-two are translated as "mountain"
or "mount." Modern Bibles have similar ratios. If the passage states that
the Whore sits on "seven mountains," it could refer to anything.
Mountains are common biblical symbols, often symbolizing whole kingdoms
(cf. Ps. 68:15; Dan. 2:35; Amos 4:1, 6:1; Obad. 8-21). The Whore's seven
mountains might be seven kingdoms she reigns over, or seven kingdoms with
which she has something in common."
