Are Baptists ONLY the Bride of Christ? No. With so many millions of us, I think we are also other things besides that.

Patrick Henry and John Hancock could be elected.

For which of these reasons, other than political affiliations, will a candidate for public office be disqualified from getting your vote? It is assumed a candidate you will not vote for in a party primary would also not get your vote in the general election. If your reasons for refusing to vote...

Did he, or did he not, ask: "What do you say? So how much spiritual maturity are you showing by saying that then?

I have made only one roundtrip on Amtrak, from Dallas to Little Rock in 1993. The day I got back was the day the feds sent tanks into the Branch Davidian compound, and many people died and Janet Reno was uttering her famous "The buck stops here" line. Anyway, I discovered only on that trip...

You should not stay in her house. But I honestly think it's more of a safety issue regarding a setup of some type-- either felonious criminal intent and/or a con job. I 'm sure you won't like my inserting this into your question, but I do think you can't ignore the possibility. And indeed, by...

"I will NOT vote for Mitt because he is a Mormon" Frankly, I would not vote for anyone because s/he is a Mormon. Did you mean "I will vote for someone other than Mitt because Mitt is a Mormon?"

Here is one of mine which I have referred to recently on this board (lyrics only; I don't know how to post music). OUR QUEST FOR THE KING From the land that we come we were counted among the wise. We spent most all of our nights gazing high up into the skies. But never had we seen before...

Oh, you should have mentioned this is all about squares.

"Anything that violates applicable scripture, as I understand it"? As you said, "Sin is anything man does that is not done by faith," faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God [scripture, supposedly]. So isn't that doing things by faith by understanding the scriptures? If so, why...

How is it, then, you could not answer "Anything that violates applicable scripture, as I understand it"?

Are you expecting anyone to be impressed by such nonsense? The current president has almost always been "the most admired man in America." The exceptions often 'lost' to former presidents, other members of the current cabinet [Nixon was eclipsed twice by Kissinger], or an unpopular 'lame duck'...

Then Yes or No: Does the decalogue have different applications or requirements for different people(s) at different times?

What difference does that make to you, since you claimed ALL laws are from the decalogue?

You just came up with one there.

Maybe he retired from acting too soon; should have auditioned for Archie Bunker or George Jefferson.

I don't think so. If we do, I know it's much younger than 12. We had one baptized 2 or 3 weeks ago whom the baptizer said was 6. It's only my opinion, but I think it's quite likely that anyone baptized very young like that will have one of those periods in which he will start to think he "didn't...

Same problem as when we pick our noses-- what do we do with what we get?

I don't know. Does clipping your toenails come of faith? How about sitting on the toilet? Swatting a fly?

While I'm not against this approach-- as I'm not against any of them listed, as it depends on many factors, such as being literate, for one-- I do think you have to "interpret" (not a word I like in theological context) the Commandments broadly to say all laws are an "expansion" of them. What is...
