    Should a good Christian be patriotic?

    According to some ancient literature, Romulus outlawed abortion (so from Rome's earliest beginnings). And if you're going to invoke ancient Rome, then it's worthwhile to consider that ancient Jews also condemned abortion. That said, your statements don't answer the question. Do you think Jesus...

    Should a good Christian be patriotic?

    So -- do you think Jesus would have opposed abortion?

    Should a good Christian be patriotic?

    So--you're not happy that "too mamy" churches, led by pastors who study God's Word as their life's calling, are basically saying that republicans are lining up with God's Word moreso than democrats? Is that really their problem, or yours?

    Should a good Christian be patriotic?

    Wrong definition of condemn. This usage indicates a "final" judgment. The "condemnation" spoken of here in this thread by your fellow Christians is that of calling sin "sin." The sin is condemned, not the sinner. The sinner is told their sin condemns them--but that Jesus is the way to...

    Should a good Christian be patriotic?

    Perhaps I'm on ignore...I'll try again: Zaac - I don't understand. I oppose abortion as the murder of a human; I preach it in the church I attend; I work with other Christians to also preach that sin is the reason we need Jesus. However, the legal system in this country isn't swayed by our...

    Should a good Christian be patriotic?

    Zaac - I don't understand. I oppose abortion as the murder of a human; I preach it in the church I attend; I work with other Christians to also preach that sin is the reason we need Jesus. However, the legal system in this country isn't swayed by our preaching. It currently says that the...

    Do you really have "nothing to hide"?

    I don't know; seems to me that it's as easy as saying, "we suspect you of a crime, so we're going to look at your phone records and utilize the systems to track your car, via legal subpoena." Instead, we have "we don't know who to suspect, so we're going to suspect everyone; we're going to...

    Do you really have "nothing to hide"?

    So - related to the opening post, the NSA's argument has been that they don't look at content of phone calls; they don't need to. Two Stanford researchers have successfully identified a cannabis cultivator, multiple sclerosis sufferer, and a visitor to an abortion clinic using nothing more...

    Air Force Academy removes Bible verse from cadet's whiteboard

    YES Personal opinion? I wouldn't like it, and I'd tell him so--but he's free to eapouse his beliefs, which I would hope would actually encourage a healthy exchange of ideas. I wouldn't go running to some idjit who mistakes freedom of religion to mean freedom from religion.

    Air Force Academy removes Bible verse from cadet's whiteboard

    What I can't figure out - FACULTY and STAFF members, who basically tell that cadet when to wake up, when to eat, when to go to bed, practically even when to go to the bathroom -- felt this caused a hostile environment and called on Mikey to help them out, rather than simply tell the cadet to...

    Hearing impaired

    Now this is interesting. If I get some time over the next few days, I'll start doing some research; but in the meantime, I'm extremely interested in seeing what folks post about this.

    is it ok to be against policies/agenda of president Obahma?

    There's a difference between criticizing his policies/agenda, and calling him names and saying that you're criticizing his policies/agenda. You can criticize what he does without criticizing him, or the office which he holds. It's a fine line.

    How to get the fellowship I need?

    No, not his father or his spiritual leader; but he came on a public board and solicited public opinion. Too much? Nah. Look at the general gist of *ALL* of his posts. It's *always* about him and what he should do or not do. When have you seen something about his church that wasn't talking...

    Feinstein: CIA spied on staff, may have broken law

    Well, actually, not an "oops." I mean, come on: Congress *should* have the "right" to search sensitive, classified documents held by the CIA (whether they have the verified, authorized clearance and access to those documents); while God forbid *anyone* exercise the same judicious concern about...

    How to get the fellowship I need?

    Yeah, well, I'm gonna be a little harsher about it: Evan has contradicted how scripture says we are to treat our wives. There's no "probably should not have...publicly" about it; you should not have, period. Consider: how would it make you feel, as a husband and ad a man, if you found out she...

    Windows Movie Maker?

    Unfortunately, with video editing, it's not so much the RAM as it is the hard drive space. How much of your hard drive is available?

    How to get the fellowship I need?

    Exactly!!! (And thus why I posted some Eph 5 verses a couple of pages ago, which were ignored)
