As far as sin for 'failing to be good stewards of the earth'... I don't think there is any way to know for sure-- that is, to know for sure if by recycling we are saving resources, or we are using more of them. Of course it appears 'good' to put glass, plastic, and paper into recycle bins...

"Remain?" Remain what?

I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues; for her sins have piled up as high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Pay her back even as she has paid, and give back to her double...

There's good reason for that-- it was my own decision. And it accomplished something where [the words of] Jesus or my faith resulted in more dope being smoked the threats. Of course, Jesus did also say something about giving pearls to swine; how they will trample them and attack you. So be it.

I won't say that my viewpoint is very different from the unbeliever. I learned many years ago about taking all these humanitarian aspects of the gospel and thinking something 'good' just mystically comes of them. After high school I worked for a few years at a shop that built wooden boxes...

I think you're goofy here. Evil certainly came upon Stephen, James, Paul and others. What was the problem?-- they didn't have Christ? Or is your definition of evil just 'something that never happens'?

Then 'we' would have greater power to condemn than God has to save.

How do you know that if that is not what Jesus said? Besides, the title question of this thread does not differentiate between self-defense in regard to animals or humans.

What is the role of women in the Church? Cinnamon... crescent.... poppy seed.... whatever.

Yeah. And I won't have a game leg any more-- so I understand-- and I intend to compete! Or will there be sadness there because there is only one winner? [there is somewhere an NT verse that says only one wins the race, check?]

Amendment X: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. Neither Article VI nor Amendment X address secession in an overt way. As the amendments take precedence over the...

I've recently finished The Importance of Being Ernie, by Barry Livingston, who played "Ernie Douglas" on the television series, My Three Sons. It's mostly biographical, obviously with his story about how he got into acting as a kid and how he eventually bucked the trend and became a successful--...

President Obama apologizes to Afghanistan for Quran burning Yeah; wasn't that "respecting an establishment of religion?"

And how do you verify, or unverify, that? I didn't ask what anything is based on. I asked how you verify, or unverify, that.

And how do you verify, or unverify, that?

To know what Obama really thinks, in this video from 1995 he said Jeremiah Wright's church is "the best the African American church has to offer." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fh7xMhsLnac&feature=related So, why did he leave that church in the last campaign?

What does "believe in tithing" mean? What is there to believe in it?

I deleted what I just wrote, asking if the "front door" is the door(s) cloest and/or facing the street of address because that is how all churches are in my experience. But I realized that was not true because a previous church I attended had no such door on the street of address, but had them...

That's right. This whole dilemma doesn't.

Because you're predestined to be held accountable for anything you do.
