Did the Apostle Paul pray for the Dead?

Category: New TestamentPolycarp @ 3:26 pm

This is meant as interaction and discussion:

Andrew has given us several great links, but frankly, while I am more sympathetic to Rome, after understanding the starting point, I still must take issue with a few things. One of them being that Paul prayed for the dead. The basis for such a doctrine, sure in part, comes from Paul’s 2nd letter to Timothy:

Bruce Wilson: Sarah Palin Linked to Second Witch Hunter

Category: Joel's Army, Religion and Politics, Todd BentleyPolycarp @ 9:18 am

Remember, this is the same group that has spawned Todd Bentley:

First, some videos:

I don’t much care about the anti-catholic stuff, except for the voodoo priestess who claims to have killed Mother Theresa by prayer. Notice Muthee’s last words…the more violent you become… What exactly o you think that means? These people are nothing more than ‘Christian’ terrorists.

Warning: The Video below is disturbing.

Pray this nation into the Kingdom? Seriously? Does this not disturb you?

[below: video with audio excerpts from Mary Glazier's July 13, 2008 address in which Glazier stated that Sarah Palin had joined Glazier's prayer group, then based in Wasilla, when Glazier was 24 yerar's old. Audio excerpt starts approx. 45 seconds into video]

Palin’s other witch hunter : Mary Glazier

If mainstream media failed to connect the dots tying Palin to Muthee and his witch-hunting ideology, at least it noticed that a Palin-Muthee existed in the first place. But, mainstream journalists and reporters wholly utterly failed to notice accounts circulating on the Internet, which tied Sarah Palin to a second witch hunter who was, in fact, indigenous to Alaska: Mary Glazier.

On July 13, 2008, at a conference held at a church in Everett, Washington, a suburb of Seattle, Mary Glazier told top leaders of the New Apostolic Reformation that at the age of twenty four, a young Wasilla, Alaska woman had joined Glazier’s prayer group which was later to become the Alaska “spiritual warfare network”. Mary Glazier is the Alaska Director of the Global Apostolic Prayer Network, originally founded in 1990 as the “Spiritual Warfare Network”.

In a one-hour sermon during which Mary Glazier told attendees of the July 12-14, 2008 “Bringing Heaven To Earth” conference about her prayer-warfare group’s efforts towards the election of Alaska Independence Party candidate Walter E. Hickel to the Alaska governor’s seat, Glazier described her association with Sarah Palin:

“We began to shake that Gate of government. Father you said this is what you are going to do. We have to have a Christian Governor to have this happen. And by a miracle he won by a write-in campaign by a landslide. But while we were praying for him there was a twenty-four year old woman that God began to speak to about entering into politics. She became a part of our prayer group out in Wasilla.

Years later, became the mayor of Wasilla. And last year was elected Governor of the state of Alaska.

Yes! Hallelujah!

At her inauguration she dedicated the state to Jesus Christ.

Hallelujah!”

On October 22, 2008, Sarah Palin appeared on Focus on The Family head Dr. James Dobson’s personal radio show, and Palin thanked “our prayer warriors” around the nation:

James Dobson: Well, I want to tell you I’m one of those great fans too, and I just want you to know that Shirley and I are praying for you, for your safety, and for your health, and that God’s perfect will will be done on November the fourth.

Shirley just had a prayer event here, she’s Chairman of the National Day of Prayer and we had 430 people here for the weekend. They prayed for the whole weekend. It was not a political event but we were sure asking for God’s intervention.

Sarah Palin:

Well, it is that intercession that is so needed, and so greatly appreciated. And I can feel it too Dr. Dobson, I can feel the power of prayer and that strength that is provided through our prayer warriors across this nation, and I so appreciate it.
