Scientist: Terrorists Could Use Insects as Weapons

if the giant godsent scorpion locusts suck all rationality outta peoples' brains, it would appear they're already hard at work.

when god employs instruments of mass destruction with the intention of scaring humans so badly they agree to his terms, isn't it then accurate to pronounce him a terrorist?

God needs no Temple, House or Church, but we must have places that we can worship Him in common and praise Him and ask for blessings, so that it is on our account that God requires places of worship. For this cause, He Himself designed the Tabernacle and later on the Temple where He was present in an especial manner and they were commanded to visit the Temple. Same with the Catholic Chruch...Christ is present in an especial way and going to Mass is imposed on us as a duty.

God was present to the Isrealites in a visible cloud in the Temple and therefore the Temple was indeed the dwelling place of God amongst men. Now, after God had become Man, woould He have removed Himself further from us than He was from the Isrealites? Are we to have no dwelling place of God in our midst? Is nothing to be left to us but the bare memory of God made man? NO! It would be inconceivable that God, after His Incarnation, should be less approachable than He was before it!! Jesus Christ would not leave us orphans...He has remained with us being present on our altars under the visible appearance of bread and wine in the Blessed Sacrament. There He is in the Tabernacle, His eyes and His heart beholding those who come to adore Him. He gave Himself to us as the Food for our souls.

The Isrealites had only one Temple which I'm told was exceptionally beautiful. Catholics have many churches far holier becasue they are where the holy Sacraments are dispensed by her priests and where our Lord Jesus Christ with His Divinity and Humanity is there present and in the Mass offers Himself for us to His Heavenly Father. I tell you there is nothing on earth as close to Heaven as the Holy Mass is at the time of consecration of the bread and wine.

Every one of the Catholic chruches are solemnly consecrated sanctified to be the property and dwelling place of God and the abode of grace.

God was present in the Tabernacle of the Old Covenant Temple and He is present in the Tabernacle of Christ's New Covenant Church and will be until the end of the world as He promised. The tearing of the Temple veil at the time of Christ's Death on the Cross signified the end of the Mosaic Covenant ceremonies and rites and the beginning of the New and Eternal Covenant.    It is providential as the New Covenant predicted by Jeremias came into being in the first century which the Messias instituted Catholic Church evidences. Jer. 31:31-33; Hebrews 8:1-10.

Well, in Scripture, there are several different uses of the term "temple" and in this case, you and I are in agreement. The "temple" applies to the individual. 1Cor.6:19-20  is similiar...."Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own; you were bought with a price. So glorify God with your body."  

Hey, Leauki, see the Blessed Trinity there!  

Can you give me three examples of sentences that DON'T mention the "Blessed Trinity" from the Bible or any writing (including comic books) you have ever read?

I don't know....I mean if you created something yourself, whether it be baking a cake, making a lego city or building a house and then you decided to destroy it because it wasn't up to your standards does that make you a terrorist? 

We must have places?  Does it have to be a building?  Let me answer that for you.  NO.  Jesus met with the people in fields, on mountains and in homes.  The early church did the same.  The only requirement is that we corporately worship together.  There's no where in the NT where we are ordered, or it's our duty to build big fancy expensive buildings to worship.  Puh-leeese! 

Yes, God was present and met with them personally.  How cool is that?  Did I say that God removed himself further by stating he indwells each believer now?  Does that question even make sense Lula.  Are you listening?  I told you he indwells each believer with his Holy Spirit.  How can that be further away? 

far Holier than God's Temple?  Are you listening Leauki?  I'm not even going to touch this one Lula.  Let's just say this is a ridiculous statement.  Ok?  You may want to do your HW on Solomon's Temple. 

Ya, I know all about that.  The funny thing is they think they are moving God in and out of buildings when they do this. 

Now this I agree with but only because the Church is God's people.  So let's rephrase that.......God is present in the Temple of Christ's New Coveanant Church, each believer, and will be until he returns for them as he promised.  That's the seal which is the same way as saying it's a done deal.  Sign, sealed and delivered, we're his. 

You're forgetting something.  Malachai ONLY wrote to the Jews as did all the OT Prophets.  Not one wrote to or about the church age.  They never saw it.  That's why Paul wrote about this as being one of the mysteries of the OT..... of Jews and Gentiles together.  That's why Peter and the rest had such a hard time accepting Gentiles coming into the faith.  What Gentiles?  God what are you saying to us?  That's what the big discussion was about at the first Jerusalem Council. That's what Peter's dream about eating all sorts of once prohibited foods was all about.   

Yes in fact it's all thru the OT up until the destruction of Solomon's Temple and before the Babylonian captivity.  That's how God met with the Israelites.  That's the Old Covenant.  The New Covenant was the indwelling of each believer individually......not buildings, Catholic or otherwise. 

Malachi is a mini summary of the entire OT.  There are five truths taught in Malachi. 

1.  Selection of Israel

2.  Transgression of Israel

3.  Manifestation of the Messiah

4.  Tribulation upon nations

5.  Purification of Israel.

Here Malachi rebuked the people for their neglect of the true worship of the Lord and was calling them to repent. 

I know what you're looking at but it's not what you're thinking.  God says there is a day coming when his name will be great among the Gentiles and the nations but that is not today.  He's speaking of the future Millennium when all peoples, names and tribes will rejoice in God.  God's name is not great among the nations today.  Incense speaks of prayer and is used alot in the scriptures to denote prayer.  That "pure offering" is Christ.  There is nothing else so pure. 

God purpose in choosing Israel was they might witness to the world of Him and they were not doing that so Malachi was rebuking them for bringing God's name into disrepute. 

We know, that because of the sins of Israel that God turned to the Gentiles.  At one point we read that Christ, after weeping over Jerusalem, walked out of the temple and it's as if to say...."the glory of the Lord (Icabod) has departed."  It's now the time of the Gentiles.  He will once again turn back to his elected Israel after this time is complete which I believe is coming to an end. 

What is this?  This is not a bible book. 

I stand corrected on the ark and the glory departing.  I was right on the glory of the Lord departing there in Samuel but yes, I meant to say (and have said elsewhere) that after Solomon's Temple there was no more indwelling of Temples.  To this day no one knows where that Ark went.  That was the dwelling place of the Lord. The Mercy Seat.  Some say it was hidden by the High Priest just before Solomon's Temple was destroyed.  It was never recovered after the return from exile 70 years later.  That's what the whole Raider of the Lost Ark was about.  It still lost. 

I was trying to remember if there's any talk of God indwelling that last Temple.  This would be the temple of Ezra and Nehemiah after coming out of captivity.  The Ark was gone so I'm thinking (would have to look) although they kept the feasts and sacrifices, the indwelling of God wasn't there as before. 

Yes, I am listening.

I don't think Lula understand what the Temple was/is about.

And while churches (and synagogues) are new meeting places, they serve only that purpose (of a meeting place) and are certainly not "holier" than the Temple.

G-d doesn't need us to build specific buildings to worship Him.

Neither Jesus nor rabbinic Judaism teach that buildings are needed.

Terror? Oh you mean that figment of George Bush's imagination that he used to distract us from electing clueless liberals. There isn't really any terra, and that hole in Manhattan? Just an illusion engineered by neocon sorcerers.

hahahaha  good one Anthony.  I forgot that's an obsolete six letter word now the liberals have taken over. 

My bad. 

well, yeah.  iraq = terror was used to distract us from afghanistan.  just ask general petraeus.

I don't think so either because she's looking at all this thru Catholic rose colored glasses.  I want her to put down those glasses and look, really take a good hard look with her own eyes.  Only then will she be able to see.  This is not about the CC and the replacing of the Jews.  Nowhere in the NT (especially in Acts) is there even a hint that we are to rebuild the temple.

I just finished reading the book of Exodus and God was very clear and precise about the building of the Tabernacle that was a tent in the wilderness.  He dotted every i and crossed every t to what he wished for this to be.  The reason, I believe is because the pattern for this Tabernacle has been in heaven the whole time.  That's the original and we will see it in the future.

I think they are not telling us the real reason for  the whole Iraq deal.  The opportunity was seen and seized. 

The primary reason we are over there right now is to  have a strategic presence in the middle of the Arab world.  Iraq is there right in the middle of things.  This is not being publicized but there are reasons why we're over there and has much more than the reasons given.  The U.S being there is critical. 

Has anyone not noticed that we are building the largest U.S. Embassy ever over there?  Why is that? 

The UN is starting the wheels turning into the rebuilding of Babylon which will be central to Islam.  This money is being spent for a reason.  We need to be over there to keep a watchful eye on things so thinks the government. 

Did you hear that in Germany many Catholics have left the CC in the last few weeks, ever since the Pope re-admitted a Holocaust-denier into the church?

No I didn't. 

 But I do believe there is a deep seeded hatred still today between these two groups.  Now, I don't believe ALL Catholics are like this individually but I do believe it's an attitude that has deeper spiritual implications.  I know they've try to undo some past mistakes by admitting them and coming out with the olive branch. ......but it's still there under all the layers and will rear it's ugly head once again.  In Venezuela right now the Jews are very fearful as anti-Semitism is making itself known there.  The Jews are on guard.   

Do you know that is a RCC country?
