Would you be ok with it if they were just against corporate greed, banking bailouts etc?

Mediums are channelling the demonic. Others have quoted the Scriptures better than I, but I might also throw in Rev 21:8 & 22:15

Same here; I also loved the tribute to Nicholas Courtney.

Hmmm...did your Revolutionary Patriots go round kneecapping people they didn't like or blowing up innocent children?

Jesus, of course!

He's Presbyterian and member of the DUP. so failry fundy I would guess. Good for him.

What do you expect from the Bolshevik Broadcasting Corporation?

Does McGuinness really stand any kind of chance, Roger, or is it just a bit of Sinn Fein gimmickry?

Prayers here...

I would read that as more of a sad indictment of what passes for 'family life' so often in the 'civilised' West these days. Sometimes I think it's the parents who need locking up...

I never mentioned anything about the man. You must be confusing me with someone else.

And how do you know that your conclusion isn't based in part at least on your own understanding. Are you perfect? Are you claiming some kind of secret knowledge or inspiration of the Holy Spirit that other Christians don't have?

Inexactly incorrect. As I said earlier, apples and oranges: we are not talking about whether murder, adultery or homosexual behaviour are wrong or sinful - clearly we all agree that they are. We are discussing the appropriate punishment for such sins. Now, in the OT the punishment was the same...

It means that the execution of eg: McVeigh should have discouraged others from committing murder. Clearly it doesn't.

You've obviously never read Voltaire: pour encourager les autres and all that.

It's an interesting question, Bro Curtis, though: as the Law commanded that the death penalty be exacted for adultery as much as for murder, surely if we are to execute murderers then we should equally execute adulterers. Calvin's Geneva wasn't squeamish about this; why are you?

Just because we can't prevent all murders doesn't mean we should stop investigating armed robberies...

No. That's something of a straw man; the difference is that one can free a wrongly convicted individual, whereas you can't resuscitate an innocent dead one.
