    President Hillary,
    One does not change his or her life around by drinking blessed water. The only way to change our life around is to be born again and repent of our sins. The Holy Spirit that we receive by accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior will convict us of our sins and will do the work for us.
    One can swim in blessed water, one can float on blessed water, one can shower with blessed water, one can drink a gallon of blessed water a day, it will do nothing for anybody.

      It certainly seems to piss off the vampires pretty good! If we were as smart as we claim we would have given Dracula a Holy Water enema long ago, but alas all these men of faith have then wedged up the rear ends of their eight year old altar boys.

    The Catholic Church is the mystery church spoken about in Revelation and the popes name equals 666.

      I would appreciate it if you could expound on these two facts you present here. I would value your explanation.

      Let me see if I have this right because a lot of you have said the same thing. God and JC are loving and kind adn care so deeply about the human race that they want to save us from eternal damnation and all of that bad stuff. BUT, if we don't believe in them and pray to them we will piss them off and they will destroy is. Jeez, no wonder you religious types seem so conflicted. This is kind of a split personality deal y'all have to contend with!

    Selling Blessed water is against Church teaching and once you buy it it loses all of its blessing anyway. Don't waste your money. What a sham.

    • Posted By: President Hillllary @ 12/12/2007 5:37:21 PM

      Should you abide by church teaching or what the bible says?

      • Posted By: Evolutionist @ 12/13/2007 9:22:26 AM

        No, use the pages in the bible to roll joints are as fuel for fire.

  • Posted By: shakespeare3 @ 12/13/2007 8:52:05 AM

    To me , so called --"holy water." is something the catholic Church inherited from pagan religins dating back to and including Babylonian religious prectices ,besides how can water be holy just because some human attempts to bless it . Therefore since all humans are imperfect and incapable of blessing anything in the first place , then there can`t be such a thing as Holy Water ! !!! Right ??? Wow , What a Snow Job .
    then it can`t really be holy water

  • Posted By: Carat @ 12/13/2007 12:10:26 AM

    My goodness, I've never met such a bunch of childish opinionated crap . I don't know why Newsweek even entertains this discussion panel. Either people talk past each other, or there are stupid creeps (who are either too old and senile or too young and insecure) trying to put one over each other. Big deal. I'm out of this looney bin and not coming back.

  • Posted By: restlesslilly @ 12/12/2007 6:58:07 PM

    Where in the Bible does it tell us to buy blessed water? Also, the Church teaches the Bible. So, they are one and the same. Its wrong IMO to sell blessed water because they are counting on people who are dumb enough to fall for it to actually think it will do anything. So, I guess I don't know why I'm complaining. People are going to be stupid no matter what sense anyone tried to talk into them

  • Posted By: restlesslilly @ 12/12/2007 4:20:07 PM

    I also wanna say any Catholic who says selling blessed items is not a sin is a misinformed individual who knows nothing of the faith they claim to follow. I'm not even Catholic yet and I know more about it than most Catholics. You can get water blessed for free just by taking it to any priest. Don't be stupid enough to fall for this "business" they're simply making a mockery of Christianity. Cause its the cool thing to do.

    • Posted By: Gillis @ 12/12/2007 4:58:09 PM

      restlesslilly,
      Selling blessed water is no more a sin than selling unblessed water.
      That company is counting on the gullibility of the Catholic adherents that believe the lies of the Catholic Church about the blessed water having some divine power.

  • Posted By: restlesslilly @ 12/12/2007 3:44:50 PM

    Selling blessed anything is against Church teaching. Once its sold it loses all of its blessing. So, if you buy it you have to get it re blessed anyway. Don't waste your money people.

  • Posted By: Gillis @ 12/12/2007 1:08:16 PM

    Evolutionist,
    Who in their right mind would try to find you. To start with, you could move out of this panel.

    • Posted By: Evolutionist @ 12/12/2007 1:26:32 PM

      If the courts told me to "hand over" my children....I would not...I would take then with me, trust me people would try to find me, but they would be unsuccessful. I have dual citizen ship and I can leave this country in a 1 sec. I have many friends that would almost trade their life for me,...trusted friends that would even help me move a dead body if I asked them.

      • Posted By: Gillis @ 12/12/2007 2:34:39 PM

        Evolutionist,
        I don't think anybody on this panel knows what you're talking about. Are you for real or some kind of nut out of a rotten fruit.
        You should cut down on your medication or they will take you back in, and pleading insanity will not work this time.
        I don't believe you have children or if you had any they have been taken away for their safety.
        It's the only panel I know that allow this kind of crap.

    Holy Water really works to expell demons ..Just make soup out of it and give it to who-ever ..say a prayer with this ..There are Evil spirits here on earth just as Good Spirits =Jesus The Christ .I would pay $10 a case for it and it is worth every single penny ..But all you have to do is buy some plain water take it to a priest and get it blessed ..Make soup and feed souls ! What a wonderful Idea ! GOD Bless these people ...someone needs to give Bush a case and Cheney his puppet ..The Late Pope John Paul called Bush anti-christ ! And said this is the End of Days 107xs ....drink up ...and pray ..for Dennis Kucinich to win ! Americas last Hope !

  • Posted By: elizajane @ 12/12/2007 2:05:19 PM

    I think it is a wonderful idea ! It really works "Holy Water" this I know from personal experience's ..You can make soup out of it and let unsuspecting people drink it ..that need a little help expelling demons or improper thoughts caused by demonic "projections" into one's mind .The Spirit of Jesus The Christ is here on earth and so is the spirit of satan and his followers ...For every positive there is a negitive .Give me some of that Holy Water ..I would pay $10.00 a case for it ! and its worth every single penny !

    Evolutionist,
    Are you gay? You certainly have an aversion toward women.

    • Posted By: Evolutionist @ 12/12/2007 2:30:16 AM

      Gillis I am astonished at your skills in the english language. Such grammar techniques you have. You write no more than a few sentences. Looks like you were educated in a private all white school. NOT! lol I love women, dont get me wrong, but a women needs to know her place. What ever than man says,...goes. Period. Women need to shut the phuq up sometimes, we have given them too many rights and now they want to rule this country...women are not our equal guys. Its guys like yourself that are gay and afraid to speak the truths. Let me remind you that your guide to molest children bible book states that females ate the apple therefor will be punished. Let me remind in different places in the world if your wife talks back to you , you can legally kill her. I guess the human race is far from being animals. I did not mention death to my women. I would never kill my wife for any reason, but she better listen to what I got to say.

      • Posted By: cbdrum1 @ 12/12/2007 11:14:59 AM

        You say you would never kill your wife, yet earlier you said that if she divorced you , you would "take the law into my own hands". A little contradictory?

        • Posted By: Evolutionist @ 12/12/2007 12:04:30 PM

          I have dual citizenship, I would pack my things up and move out of the country. Trust me when I say noone would find me.....noone.

      • Posted By: President Hillllary @ 12/12/2007 11:32:06 AM

        Sorry, but the bible does not say to molest children that is just the catholic church.
        The new testament says not to give into strange doctrines of not letting men marry.

      • Posted By: cbdrum1 @ 12/12/2007 11:17:22 AM

        You say you would never kill your wife, yet you stated earlier that if your wife divorced you that ..."well I dont care what the courts would say,..I would take the law into my own hands." A little contradictory?

  • Posted By: jesusrocks @ 12/11/2007 1:12:15 PM

    Im gonna say this one time and one time only. Jesus Christ is the only god you should believe in. He is your only true father. I believe you can live longer by not talking so many drugs that doctors give you. Get cleansed and free your body of impurities. Its hard reading what you said evolution becuase if you would say that kinda crap in my face I would do harm to you. The fact that you would kill something Jesus has created only to kill it. You will burn in Hell and it would be something I would enjoy to watch forever. The time is coming for you and this world, the time when Jesus comes back from the dead and punishes all of us. I can only hope he shows all those that dont believe no mercy.

    • Posted By: angelus1967 @ 12/12/2007 11:58:55 AM

      jesusrocks, you really are psychotic. You would do harm to someone because they have a different belief system than yours? Are you SURE you are not a radical Muslim instead of a radical christian? Sorry, I forgot, there is little if any difference between the two. Y'all have been screaming that JC is coming back to punish the wicked and lead the good to rapture for hundreds of years now and it hasn't happened yet. News flash for you......it's not going to! We are not in end times, the rapture is not upon us, god/JC are not about to bring us together at Armageddon. Get over it. You are a sad, deluded little individual who has no business spouting about that which oyu know nothing about.

    • Posted By: Gillis @ 12/11/2007 2:24:57 PM

      I don't think that you are a psychotic individual, but may be a little confused.
      First of all Jesus wont come back from the dead because He is not dead . He is alive and well.
      Secondly when He comes back, He will not punish all of us. Only those that do not believe in Him will be punish by eternal seperation from God which is hell.

    I think that jesusrocks needs some serious help. His babbling about how helpful this water is and how it brings him closer to jesus just amazes me because then he will spout off with some hate filled diatribe that makes most people cring. Even christian hate it when someone like him comes along because it makes them ALL look bad.

    • Posted By: Evolutionist @ 12/11/2007 12:48:56 PM

      jesusrocks is a psychoatic individual and you would be suprised on how many christians actually believe in this. I know some educated religious people and they believe in evolution, they dont take the bible literally. They use the bible to promote good family morals which it was intended for. Jesusrocks is probably just another right wing conservative.

      • Posted By: angelus1967 @ 12/12/2007 11:54:24 AM

        Yup, the gut is a wingnut. Good to see some others on here with the same mindset Evolutionist. Thank you.

    Jewish community has stamped almost every product you can think of on the grocery store shelves including beer. (K and U with a circle around it) No one ever complains about there approval of items for sale.

    • Posted By: angelus1967 @ 12/12/2007 11:47:04 AM

      Ummmm, there is a difference. They are not blessing those items, those are items made in accordance with strict Jewish dietary laws so they can be certified Kosher.

  • Posted By: Kaley @ 12/11/2007 10:18:44 AM

    In response to Philman's inquiry... You said "Why would Jesus of God persecute good people for what they believe in?" Jesus died on the cross for our sins, not so that we wouldn't be persecuted. His death is the atonement for our sins (the fact that we, as humans, have an inherently "fallible" nature) and His death allows us to share in His inheritance, eternal life with God the Father. It's important not to confuse facing persecution with being persecuted by Jesus Himself. Jesus never promised that we would live free from trials and temptations; in fact, He states in Matthew 5:11-12 "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." I used to be afraid of persecution, but the closer I have grown to Jesus, and the more I learn and grow through reading the Bible, the less afraid I am. You too will find that once you accept Jesus, the things of this world will begin to fade away and all you will see is the love that Christ has for you. As great as most of the comments are on here, the real truth is waiting for you in the Bible. Check it out.

    • Posted By: William.Demuth @ 12/11/2007 2:34:53 PM

    2 Questions:

    1. Can a Catholic Priest who is a child molester bless water?

    2. Where in the bible does it talk about blessed water healing people?

  • Posted By: Philman @ 12/11/2007 9:34:02 AM

    Again thank you to everyone who replied to my comments and alot of them did help to explain some things I dont understand.Ive thought of going to a church and talking with a priest but Ive always felt that Id go to the wrong place or say the wrong thing and that(not on purpose) I might be looked at in a bad way.

    • Posted By: angelus1967 @ 12/12/2007 11:36:55 AM

      Oh boy, another sucker about to be gulped into the may that is organized religion. If you seek answers there are other places and ways of finding them then kneeling and praying to that which does not exist.

    • Posted By: vaceltgal @ 12/11/2007 9:54:41 AM

      At a Calvary Chapel I promise you will never be looked at in a bad way. We "ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Rom 3:23. They will welcome you with the loving arms of Christ Jesus.

    • Posted By: vaceltgal @ 12/11/2007 9:47:28 AM

      I highly suggest you go to a church. If you can find one close by I recommend going to a Calvary Chapel. They are awesome. There are tons of them all over the world. It is a non-denominational church that teaches the Bible. simple as that and that is why I love it so much. I was raised Catholic and attended a catholic church for many years, but I have found problems with some of their doctrine that are non-scriptural. If you can go to calvarychapel.com It is a great site and can direct you to a Calvary chapel close to you.
