The final escape was the American revolution that freed it from its last bonds with Britain. It would seem reasonable that people who knew Luther’s teaching and lived in Europe may have had good reasons to think that the Pope may be the anti-Christ. <br /><br />It's obvious that the European model of Corporate and Union control is also in financial trouble here as it is in Europe. It's not surprising that the liberal or socialist press is starting to blame US Republicans or Tea Party members for the terrible, murderous terror attacks in Norway. I believe it is a desperate attempt to discredit the good people in the US in order for them to maintain power. <br /><br />While I do not share the view that the Pope is the anti-Christ predicted to rise, I think people here are justified in their efforts to make sure we do things different and better then they do in Europe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20692053.post-42865924196230724042011-07-24T11:09:19.149-05:002011-07-24T11:09:19.149-05:00At present, it doesn't matter who gets into of...At present, it doesn't matter who gets into office because they only do what their campaign financiers want them to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20692053.post-20207329730167881262011-07-21T18:58:30.900-05:002011-07-21T18:58:30.900-05:00"To be sure, WELS - as an institution - takes..."To be sure, WELS - as an institution - takes a rather harsh view of the Papacy.
