Humility, charity, faith and love makes a saint. If she were to practice just one, she might understand.

Liberal tolerance, once again on display for all the world.

If a talkshow host had suggested the 12th Imam hasn't returned because it is no longer acceptable to sleep with nine year-old girls, like Mohammed did, there would be outrage and beheadings and apologies. Christianity, however, continues to turn the other cheek and is mocked for it. I understand that's what Jesus meant by "Blessed are those who suffer in my name," but I've really had it with soft targets being attacked by the media.

I don't understand why Joy is not considered a bigot. Anything having to do with christianity, she condemns, but she is so outspoken about gays and Muslims. They should have all the rights and if you say anything against them, she calls you racist and bigot. Does she not realize that 95% of the people in the US are religious? Isn't she jewish? Does she not know what happens when people condemn you for your religious beliefs?

What made one a saint hundreds of years ago, would make you schizophrenic today.

Gotta love Hasselback though, bringing up a non-saint as an example for saints.  Great stuff.

2007's second most annoying celebrity. Joy Behar.

(is she even considered a celebrity?)

I suppose if BEHAR were in charge of things, she would put those displaying heroic virtue on medication.  Kind of reminds me of Nurse Ratched "It's medication time!"

God will settle His own accounts, but for ABC to not fire Joy Behar over her degrading Joan of Arc or Jeanne D'Arc as her real name is in French is Disney DISGUSTING.

To portray one of the greatest liberators by the hand of God who was a woman as in need of dope is DISGUSTING.

Joan basically by God's Grace ended the 100 Years War. She ended the seige of Orleans in 9 days, was wounded on the battlefield and refused to leave and was later a prisoner after co commanding part of the French Army by Royal decree.

All French leaders invoke the memory of Joan of Arc as she is one of the greatest people who ever lived.

Yes she heard voices, but whether one believes in it or not, I would be like Lincoln in hearing Grant drank.........I would find is brand and make all the generals drink as Grant won wars.

Joan was literally murdered by trumped up charges. Joy Behar would know about that as her same kind of ilk have been lying about President Bush for the past 8 years.

Joy Behar is ignorance in pure form and it is DISGUSTING to make jokes about one's successful faith, in a woman who was a warrior liberating France, WOUNDED IN BATTLE, refuses to leave the field and is a prisoner who is later murdered by a state run execution.

That is real funny Joy Behar.....are Jew jokes next as they are people of faith too and supposedly your own people?

*HIC IACET ARTORIVS REX QVONDAM REXQVE FVTVRVS

there are no longer any saints due to modern medicine

Hey, Joy ... GET SOME!

***WARNING WARNING SCRIPTURAL CONTENT AHEAD*** This is ONLY for persons interested in such things, if not, SKIP IT!***

Joy Behar is simply suffering under the Catholic delusion as to what constitutes a "SAINT" in the first place. Because of their false doctrine I can't even blame her. She's actually RIGHT. The so-called catholic "saints" were hearing voices and they weren't the voices of God according to Paul. Up until the death of the last Apostle (John) there was only ONE FAITH (eph 4:5), they all taught the water baptism in Jesus name and reception of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues ( Acts 2:4 Acts 2:38, Acts 19:1-6 etc). However during their lifetimes ALL of the apostles warned of a "falling away", a perversion of the gospel. Jude the son of Mary warned thusly, 

Jude 3,4

 3Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

 4For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul prophesied about the coming false church to the Bishop Timothy here, 1Tim 4:1-4, in this prophecy he included TWO SIGNS by which you would know the false church, that according to Paul, was listening to the doctrine of demons. They are highlighted and those of you familiar with the Catholic church will know that, indeed, they are the only "Christian church" to do both of these things. 

1Tim 4:1-4 NIV

1The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 

2Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 

3They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.

As I'm sure many of you know, the Catholic Church is the only "christian church" to both forbid people from marrying (priests, nuns) AND to command the abstention of certain foods ( no meat on Friday). After the death of John the evil people that Jude warned about and who Paul warned just about everyone about, took over the doctrine and perverted it. This is the reason that skull full of mush Joy Behar, thinks that the Saints of god are delusional. Those who have been called saints by this false church most certainly were not. In the new testament "sainthood" requires the newbirth which Jesus describes here (John 3:1-8) it is of the "water" and of the "spirit" and there is evidence of it. The false churches do not teach this. 

The false church teaches that "saints" are quasi-mystical beings that have to perform at least three miracles and be voted into "sainthood" by a process called "canonization". Nothing could be further from the truth. In the old testament a "saint" was merely a "follower" of God as opposed to a "pagan" or a "heathen", in the New Testament that term is reserved for followers of God in the form of Jesus Christ. That's it. No miracles, other than the proper reception of the Holy Spirit necessary! Here are some scriptures which should make it clear that the "saints" in question are neither DEAD nor "special" in any other way than a regular "Holy Ghost filled" believer is special, that is. In this day they are so rare, that it might indeed rise to the level of "specialness" but the point remains the same. Many of the Apostles began their epistles with lengthy salutations. They'd thank everyone from the Bishop or church leaders they were writing to all the way down to the congregation, usually described in general as "The Saints". 

Here David issues,  in song, a command for "saints" to "fear the Lord".

Psalm 34:9
O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

Why would dead people in heaven with the Lord, have reason to fear him? Clearly this is written to those who are alive and may have occasion to fail the Lord. 

Psalm 106:16
They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.

Clearly Aaron was alive while he was being "envied" by those who were jealous of his proximity to Moses. They were also similarly discomfited by Moses being a "Prophet". 

Psalm 132:9
Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy. 

Here you see the saints being "lower" in stature than the "priests", in that the priests are the leaders in the synagogue and the "saints" mere, congregants. 

In the ninth chapter of the Book Of Acts a man named Ananias was contacted by the Lord. He was told that he was the one who would see to the conversion of Paul. Up till that time Paul was known as Saul and had a reputation for putting the followers of Jesus Christ (saints) in prison and even killing some of them. Saul's reputation obviously was well known and Ananias answered thusly to the Lord....

Acts 9:13
Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:

Notice he said that Paul or Saul as he would be known at this point, had done much evil to the saints which were AT Jerusalem, again living folk, not dead 150 yrs as Paul was still a relatively young man and wouldn't live to 150 in any case!

Acts 9:32
And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.

Peter came to minister to LIVING PEOPLE who DWELT in Lydda, not corpses! The reason that Peter came to Lydda was so that he could raise a young woman named Tabitha from the dead and show the power of the Lord that rested within him. Tangentially, I've just come back from teaching the Apostolic Doctrine in Memphis and in New York. In the south it is common particularly in black churches to call a great pastor or Bishop, "Apostle". Anyone who saw the movie by Robert Duvall named "the Apostle" will be familiar with this.  While they may be great men of God they are no APOSTLES.  When we "lay hands on the sick" it is so that our faith may be intermingled with their faith and Jesus might heal them. Sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn't. The apostles had the delegated POWER to heal the sick 100% of the time. They also had the power to raise the dead, something none of these "one verse Charlie's" are capable of doing no matter how well they preach a sermon. These abilities were given to the Apostles in the 10th Chapter of Matthew, btw. So as you can see the perversion of doctrine exists even in "true" churches and must continually be corrected.  Anyway, Peter comes down to raise the girl up and it was described this way...

Acts 9:40-42 (King James Version)

  40But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

 41And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.

Now clearly Peter was calling the male believers in the town who were outside wailing because of the girls death so that they might see the work of the Lord. He was NOT calling people out of their graves to witness this event. LOL. 

In closing,  perhaps no greater proof of the false interpretation of the Catholic church can be found than in the 26th Chapter of the Book of Acts. Paul the Apostle is imprisoned in King Agrippas court. Paul and the King had long conversations during which Agrippa was almost persuaded to repent and follow Christ.  During one such interrogation, Paul confessed his past sins to the King. He told how it was he that was a persecutor of the church and it goes a lil something like this....

Acts 26: 9-11

 9I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

 10Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.

 11And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.

Now, unless you think that Paul was hauling corpses off to jail the Catholic Church doesn't have a Clue as to what it's talking about. There are many others but I trust I've made and OVERMADE my point, as is my wont. There is truth and there is falsity, those who were prophesied to follow the doctrines of demons (1Tim 4:1-4) are the ones who started the Universal church. This later became known as the "Catholic Church". They violate commandments by praying to Mary, Peter or just about ANYBODY other than Christ. They force their adherents to blaspheme the express command of Christ uttered here (Matt 23:9) by calling priests "father". They follow a Pope who thinks himself to be the mediator between God and man. A role expressly reserved for Jesus Christ, in fact that usurpation of the glory of Jesus' sacrifice will not go "unrewarded". It was through the mercy of God that HE wrapped himself in a body (John 1:14) so that by becoming our MEDIATOR he could reconcile the world to himself. Only a blasphemous and deceived person, would take the glory of Christ, onto himself.

1Timothy 2 :5, 6

5For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

 6Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

If this doesn't show you that they don't know what the heck they're talking about on ANY front, I don't know what would. Peace.
