    Virginia Baptist

    Hello Clint: Feel free to take what I say with a grain of salt, because I have been a working stiff most of my life; not an implementer or shaker and mover. I have to AMEN what the Squire said and also, I want to let you know that I looked over the article that you posted. At a glance, it...

    Conservative/Republican Choice for President 2004

    Gene: (AKA frontheright) Just a word about Alabama’s constitution: It was designed to be a hindrance to localities which try to raise taxes. That’s why a locality has to get approval from the legislature to have a tax referendum. It is a good thing. Politicians, who want to raise taxes, hate...

    Conservative/Republican Choice for President 2004

    FTR: I will look for that publication the next time I am at the mall. Have you decided who you want for governor yet? As for me, I would like to see Tim James win it, because he is the only candidate (Republican or Democrat) who is against rewriting the state constitution. The legislature...

    Conservative/Republican Choice for President 2004

    I realize that this poll has been around for a while, but I just noticed it. I cast my lot for Howard Phillips. I saw the discussion concerning the Libertarian Party. I just want to comment that my impression of the Libertarians is that they are mostly a bunch of old hippies who are still...

    What kind of car do you drive?

    I drive a 88 Taurus wagon. Anything that runs is OK with me. Back in the 80s, when I lived in Miami, I bought a 75 Dodge Dart for $100.00, drove it for 4 years, and when it wouldn't run any more, sold to a junk dealer for $100.00. I guess you could say that it never depreciated the whole time...

    What motels do you stay in?

    I noticed that Sam said she brings her own linen to motels. I can understand why, because there has been more than one time that I checked my motel linen and could tell that it hadn't been changed since the last guest used it. I always check my linen and call for fresh linen if I have any...

    What motels do you stay in?

    I like Motel 6 or Red Roof Inn. I did have a rough night at a Motel 6 in Florida one night. It was extremely hot in my room, and I asked for another room, since my A/C seemed to be on the blink. The desk clerk said that there was nothing wrong with the A/C, because it was the water-evaporation...

    Ten Most Damaging Preachers

    At the address I have given below, there are some archived broadcasts. The ones for February 14th and 15th are about Billy Graham. Someone may want to add him to his list after listening it. It is from Southwest Radio Church's web site. http://www.swrc.com/daily/2002/db_feb02.htm

    What book has influenced you the most?

    "The Power of Positive Praying" by John Bisagno. It is a thin paperback which I think was written in the late 60s. My BTU leaders got a copy for each of us in their group, and taught from it, back when I was a teen. I really didn't know much about praying until studying that book. I think...

    Christian Pacifism

    JAMES2: God bless you my friend. That reply took a lot of thought. I have been reading "New American" for about six years. I used to get it at the news stand until a year ago when my oldest son got me a gift subscription for Christmas. I wasn't reading it back when it was called American...

    Christian Pacifism

    In Luke’s scripture references below, Jesus apparently ordered a couple of swords, for Himself and His disciples. In the references from Matthew, Jesus seemed to give tacit approval for His disciples to carry swords, because He didn’t scold the individual, who attacked the high priest’s...

    Modern Song Writing

    I was a teen-ager in the late 60s and through part of the 70s and remember seeing changes in church music come about. Baptists seemed very gullible in accepting everything that came along. I can remember hearing high praises for the Simon and Garfunkel tune "Bridge Over Troubled Water." It was...

    beer and religion?

    Maybe some of the more learned scholarly types will comment on whether my following remarks are right or wrong. When listening to J. Vernon McGee one day, I think I heard him say that the original Hebrew text of the Old Testament uses different words to distinguish between fermented wine and...

    Is Allah a different god?

    Barbarian: Allah was never the God of Abraham. Before Muhammed, there were over 300 gods, which Arab tribesmen worshipped. Muhammed picked out the moon god (Allah) and said that Allah is the true god, and he built a religion around him. Muhammed may have said that Allah is the god of Abraham...

    How do we stop abortion?

    I hope you will allow me to post a web site. It is the John Birch Society's web site. They have a lot of good info and links to every senator and congressman. www.jbs.org is the web site. In case any of you don't know this, John Birch was a Baptist missionary to China, before and during...

    Abortion Doctors and the Media

    Phillip: Thank you for opening this thread. It is a good one. I try to look at a lot of different things,in sorting out my feelings on abortion. We know that it is the willful taking of innocent life, just as the NAZI holocost was. If we had been living in NAZI Germany, as Christians with...

    Abortion Doctors and the Media

    Do you think that AIDS might be sent from God as restitution for the sacrifice of innocents to the god of promiscuity? You know what I mean...a life for a life? When I hear of abortion doctors being killed, my feelings are about the same as when I hear of robbers being killed in the commission...
