Agreed on the attitude part. So does the government have the authority to implement the death penalty?

I understand what you're trying to say; but Paul didn't break the rules of the government. If the government found him guilty of murder, and sentenced him to death, would you oppose the government?

Buzz on the Net seems to be that Hurt is the 8th doctor, for the reasons you identified. But the emphasis on the 50th anniversary show seems to be around Tennant and Smith vs. Hurt....

The Name of the Doctor -- talk about an ending that left me confused....

WHY would He mix literal with non-literal in the same statement?!? Of course. THERE YOU GO AGAIN. You are injecting into scripture. Paul is saying that he could speak in many different languages in the church; but that we should strive for the understanding. He's NOT indicating that it's okay...

"If no crime deserves the death penalty, then it is hard to see why it is fitting that Christ be put to death for our sins...." - Professor Michael Pakaluk, Clark University. Romans 13 - the government bears the sword as the minister of God, bringing wrath upon those who do evil. I have no...

Then you should not take speaking in tongues literally. You don't get to pick and choose which parts of the bible you want to follow, and which ones you don't. Don't forget: if you're going to use Acts 2 as the example of the fulfillment of Mark 16, then you have to use Acts 28 as the example...

I disagree. What was the law regarding adultery? That both the man and the woman were to be stoned. Verse 6 tells us that situation was a trap so that they might accuse Him. If Jesus had agreed to stoning her, He would have been guilty of not obeying the law--His law. And look further: she had...

You brought up the verse; but now you don't want to discuss it. With groanings that cannot be uttered. In this--that we are both doing the same thing--we are agreed. That is a HUGE clue to this conversation. Hope you're open to it. Where does it indicate "sometimes"? Where does Paul...

Asked you first.

Why did He prevent them from stoning her to death?

Then they also believed they could take up serpents and drink poison. Let's include those in our discussion. You didn't miss it. You wrote it off as "opinion," and rejected it. And frankly, you've ignored other scriptures to prove your own points. It means something not understood. Now, how...

My point was that this picture of Jesus as being this loving, always forgiving figure has its moments where He made a whip and chased people. Let us also not forget Matthew 15:3-4 / Mark 7:9-13. AS for the adulteress woman: let us not forget that Jesus acknowledged that she wasn't without...

Did the apostles believe in speaking in tongues before the events in Acts 2? But it has been proven to you that speaking in tongues is not a "prayer language"; you reject that proof. You do not understand basic grammar. The man who speaks an unknown tongue speaks mysteries (verse 2). Wrong...

Remember, Ex -- death panels + assisted suicide = "soylent green" ....

And by saying, "that includes salvation", you compare speaking in tongues to salvation; you put speaking in tongues on the same level as salvation. Yet, you keep trying to say that we don't need to speak in tongues; but that if we believe what the bible says, we will speak in tongues--which...

First you said that we could be saved but not speak in tongues; but now you've said that if we don't believe in tongues, that's like not believing in Christ. You've put speaking in tongues on the same level as salvation. What about those of us that believe we have the truth; we believe the...

Our president recently addressed a graduating class with words that encouraged them to ignore those that don't trust the government. Yet, most people listen to him, and have no problem saying "I love you Big Brother." Why do you suppose that is?

Well, now you've said something confusing. You started off saying that Christians don't have to speak in tongues; but you ended by saying that if they don't, they don't have faith. Can they have faith--in all the scripture and all the scripture promises--without "experiencing" speaking in...

Are we talking about the same Jesus who fashioned a whip of cords?
