    1,000 mile trip

    You say 'time is no object,' but you don't say money isn't. Nor do you say anything about the circumstances once we get to our destination. Is someone going to pick us up? Will we still have to get a rental car? Is the return trip presumed to be the same method?

    Billy the Kid to be pardoned?

    If we were to find evidence that one concentration camp victim was actually murdered by a fellow prisoner, should Goebbels, or Hitler himself, be issued pardon for that one-- 'not a blanket pardon'?

    Traditional, but wrong, points in the story of Jesus’ birth

    There is surely nothing wrong with saying "A star does not by normal standards perform this kind of action." That is simply a fact. And whatever the flourescent phenomenon really was, it was indeed 'not by normal standards' that it showed the location of the house. Incidentally, when it was the...

    Finally, a court that has not been intimidated by this administration.

    How about the amendment that says everyone has the right to be secure "in their person..."? Privacy, that is. The government cannot force anyone to have an abortion or not to have one-- as current law is-- but it can force everyone to purchase a product many do not want to an end many will not...

    Traditional, but wrong, points in the story of Jesus’ birth

    It might make a nice Christmas card, but the unknown number of 'wise men' and the shepherds would not have visited the baby/child at the same time; at least not the biblical accounts thereof. Another point is that in so many images, it shows 3 wise men riding camels toward a focal point over...

    Must tithing be cash?

    Why is it a conviction of yours to not take the deduction? You could donate however much this puts back into your pocket to the children overseas, too. Or is it your conviction that the feds have it rather than the children?

    Haircut

    To me, that's an interesting question after last Saturday night. Our church was having the final night of the "Christmas Journey," a 16-scene portrayal of the life of Christ viewed by driving through. I was with the special woman in my life, and after entering the entry gate a greeter in...

    Do You Believe in the Power of Prayer to Heal?

    Because just psyching somebody into ignoring their pain is not true healing. That's how too many jokers on television become filthy rich. Quite so, apparently. How pain comes and goes is a mystery. But that is all you say, that your toe joint was quickly-- 3 hours-- pain free. How long was it...

    Do You Believe in the Power of Prayer to Heal?

    What are some examples of what these people claim to have been healed of? Please answer that; but I will take a shortcut to the question I nearly always ask someone who says something like that: Has anyone with a missing arm or leg miraculously grown a new one?

    Do You Believe in the Power of Prayer to Heal?

    I have never seen any disease or injury healed by nothing but prayer. My answer has to be No.

    Traditional, but wrong, points in the story of Jesus’ birth

    I find it a little puzzling, so far, that 8 of 10 have said it is definitely or inherantly wrong that "There were 3 wise men who came from the east (any others with them were not magi)." While we don't know that there were 3 of them, we don't know that there were not 3. So how are some of you...

    Traditional, but wrong, points in the story of Jesus’ birth

    There seem to be 2 major ways to do this poll, which concerns the wrong or questionable images, from either dogma or the arts, associated with the birth of Jesus Christ. That is, by listing the not-all-inclusive points and the polltaker checks the ones which are inherently wrong; or listing the...

    Does Sly Stallone deserve to be in the boxing HOF?

    No. Nor should Charlton Heston be on that friez on the Supreme Court building, nor Tom Hanks in the Astronaut HoF, nor Gary Cooper in the baseball HoF. Not sure whether Judy Garland should be over the rainbow or under the geyser.

    Scheduled services

    I answered quickly SS, MW, Midweek. But had I given it more thought, I would have said Other, as I'm not even sure and can't keep up with all the programs we have. We have recently gone from 3 BFG's (Bible Fellowship Groups, or Sunday Schools), and 3 morning services to 2 of each; in worship...

    The Titanic - her future

    Maybe if we had brought on global warming much sooner, the tragedy would never have happened. Anyway, we've had a quarter century, since the discovery, of dives and studies, a few items brought up, some conflicts solved (e.g., whether the ship did in fact break up at sinking), some new...

    FBC Dallas and Christmas Wars: Is this Kingdom work?

    Not long ago, there was a "native American" somewhere in south Texas who did not do that. He was in law enforcement and wanted to grow his hair longer than was allowed by the rules of the agency he worked for. He won his case and can wear his hair according to his tribal beliefs. Do you fault...

    FBC Dallas and Christmas Wars: Is this Kingdom work?

    I heard the bells on the holidays; Their P.C. language to amaze. The C-word's banned unless we stand For Christ, who came to set us free. The heavn'ly hosts to shepards came; The Lord and Savior's birth proclaim. Did either say "Happy Holdiay," Or go to Christ, who'll set them free? The...

    Lowest gas prices you remember

    The lowest I can specifically recall was when I was 12 or 13, and we took up one of those free offers to stay in a trailer house for 2 nights for my parents going on one of those pushy sales tours of the vacation homes. It was somewhere near Mineola, TX, when self-serves were there but they were...

    Tea Party founder - restrict voting rights to property owners

    I forget who the player was, but in summer of '09 one of those inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his speech said, "What a man believes determines how he lives. And how he lives shows what he really believes, not matter what he says he believes." So, with Jefferson's quote, "equal...

    Christmas Tree

    It doesn't mean anything if you didn't say it before, which you didn't. And I am not asking about your arthritic hands, for it's possible to snap a shutter with your nose; or, probably more realistically, to ask and/or pay someone else to snap or draw pictures for you, which makes you a party to...
