I did. I clearly pointed out that you misused Acts 16. What did you not understand?

I will discuss ONLY the first point; the rest of your opening post hinges on that. Your first point is to discuss what a "work" is; then apply faith to that definition. This is an error, because you necessarily require faith to take on the definition of work, rather than its own definition of...

The analogy fails on oh-so-many levels. Cancer doesn't care what color your skin is. Cancers actually come in different types, requiring different types of treatment. To make this analogy, one would have to argue that different skin colors demand different treatment; which demands racism...

How does this qualify as even remotely an appropriate analogy?

Of course; but one must prove a history of murder. If one is tried for murder and found not guilty, then one is not legally a "murderer." A policeman may kill someone while in the performance of his duties; there is no forethought, malice, planning, nor any of the other requirements that...

Not exactly. If someone has a history of criminality, then "thug," while somewhat harsh, is actually an acceptable adjective that describes the individual's past behavior, regardless of their skin color. Likewise, until proven guilty of intent, we do not legally call someone a murderer. Just...

Your key word was "most." These posts are a response to the flood of "cops are terrorists" threads. For example, the McKinney, TX incident: 1 cop behaved poorly. 11 other cops behaved professionally. The response? "Cops are terrorists." They may not seem newsworthy; but these stories are...

And here I was thinking Burt Bacharabbit....

Hyperbole and histrionics.

Hey, folks - I got the answer I needed back on page 1, and I'm done with this thread. Y'all can keep going if you want; just wanted to let ya know I'm done with it.

"Vast majority." Histrionics and hyperbole.

Um...I believe it's indicative of how officers STILL act, or we wouldn't have a picture of it now.

Then you shouldn't have said "many," should you?

And I should mention, I don't necessarily trust Breitbart, either. Tends to sensationalize just as much as the others.

Meh. I prefer to examine as objectively as I can, rather than let those sites, or Rush or Sean tell me how I should think (I prefer Dennis Prager). All I'm concerned with is Ryan's comment at the moment. And yes, I agree that it's quite Pelosi-ish.

How many other IFB churches require a man to be in charge of the nursery? Of all the IFB churches I attended, the womenfolk took care of the nursery. Some of them asked the husbands to be with the wives when it was their turn to be the nursery worker; but none of the ones that I've attended had...

Oh, I know. Mainly I'm just commenting about CTB's "anti-vaxxer" implications. Even now, a week after the case first came to light, no one's discussing how the boy became infected, and trying to stop the disease at its source. It's all about mandatory/compulsory vaccinations.

I'm telling you: I'm an independent with republican tendencies, but I'm not supporting the Republicans at all on this one.... http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/06/11/paul-ryans-pelosi-esque-obamatrade-moment-its-declassified-and-made-public-once-its-agreed-to/

SO - the McKinney cop, Casebolt, apparently responded earlier that day to a young woman threatening to jump off her parents roof (suicide threat); and even earlier, to a young black man who shot himself (completed suicide). And he's not appearing publicly because of death threats.

Agreed. Thanks for the input!
