If we are not to use the death penalty because Christ rescinded the "eye for an eye" command, then why is ANY punishment appropriate ? Not unexpectedly, this response did not answer the question posed. DP opponents usually do not give the reason for another type of penalty, but why the death...

Last Battle of the War Between the States Not sure if I've fought it yet.

Pro- who's life?

Pascal's Wager is not useful as an evangelistic tool. An unbeliever who thinks there might be something or someone to believe in that transcends death would see it as a lotto, per se, of happening to be in the right time and place to acknowledge the 'correct' belief, and that only...

No, not very surprised. Are you surprised Obama's overall rating is 43.6%? http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_obama_job_approval-1044.html

And there's never been a major league batting champion more likely to get a hit than not to get one: .440 is the highest of all time.

And you might be a liberal if... You think Eisenhower did too much golfing, Ford did too much skiing, and no managing general partner of a major league baseball team should be president. And you might be a liberal if... You think you 8-hour flex-time day with weekends off, healthcare plan...

I don't suppose they have anything for ME in that black bag.

If "still believed in the authority and power of the word of God" describes them and their approach, I will please to unlike them and their racks and hotseats and strappados and annual required teachings that opposition to the king [the one who "authorized" this version] means imprisonment or...

Okay. The South Africa regime which kept Nelson Mandela in prison for 27 years showed "perfect patience." Or does the fact that he was less than life-without-parole negate that? The Roman-ruled world certainly applied the death penalty... by crucifixion, shoving off a rocky cliff, beheading...

Yeah, so well they christened infants and had the state's king as "head of the church."

One thing a talk show brought to my attention today was that time zone differences can be a factor-- especially for football, as a team typically arrives the day before the game and leaves right after the game. This Sunday, Oakland at Buffalo and Seattle at Pittsburgh are games where the visitor...

How does "life in prison without parole" fit what you previously stated? ... You evaded the question. How is life without parole "perfect patience" toward the worst of sinners? You know what I'm asking... if you claim 'we' [the state] do not have authority to apply the death penalty, then...

Then let murderers off free? How does "life in prison without parole" fit what you previously stated? ... "I Tim. 1:16 that Christians are to follow the example of our Lord Jesus Christ and show mercy with perfect patience toward the worst of sinners, even murderers like Paul. Support...

Then let murderers off free?

What should they DO with it? I'm not sure what kind of answer you're fishing for, but if I gave the one I have in mind it would likely get me a message to reread the board rules.

If any team is going to join the sinking Big 12, it won't be a school that is firmly implanted in a strong BCS conference. That probably doesn't leave enough possibilities for the Big 12 to be still be around in 2-3 years. Colorado St.? BYU? UTEP? ... these might have a big enough fan base to...

Sports statistics indicate what is very well-known-- that there is an advantage to the home team in a sporting contest. For the major pro sports, checking sites it seems to be about 58%-62% in the NFL, 56% in Major League Baseball, 63% in the NBA and 55% in the NHL. While superior talent does...

ANY have and use A Thompson Chain bible? Is that anything like a Thompson Machine Gun?

I don't know. But we better hurry up and get something on the agenda. 5 months ain't much time, especially considering that we don't have an evening service and nothing about regular morning routine should be changed.
