Oh, puh-leeze. If you want to discuss a candidate's tax return, discuss both--or all-- candidate's returns.

The government "help" people?!? Then how about focusing on what the government is supposed to do: reduce unnecessary restrictions that stifle economic progress, thus making it easier for individual taxpayers to give more to the areas that they individually deem important? Rather than force all...

Crabby, that's downright deceitful. Giving of taxes which are used for the purpose of government is one thing; charitable giving above and beyond just paying taxes is quite another. And we all know--including you--that Romney gave more than his "fair share" of charitable giving.

Well, let's see: Your last few posts about Romney have been about his tax returns; Romney attending a fundraiser; Romney's old business restructuring other businesses; Romney asking for others' tax returns; and the crapola about Romney caught on tape. ON the other hand, the posts about Obama...

Obama's AGI of $789,674 makes him one of those "aching and tirelessly committed Americans"?

Sparked a memory. A pastor I sat under in northern Oklahoma related a situation that occurred to him. He was invited to preach at a church, but he didn't actually research the church before he went there; he assumed they knew he was an "old-fashioned" Baptist (more Southern Baptist than IFB). He...

Whatever happened to calling evil what it is? Doesn't preclude us from praying for our leaders; but aren't we also supposed to be telling them God doesn't like what they're doing?

Can't. We have to live in it. We don't have to be of it; but we are in it.

By looking at CTB's posts: He's posting a proliferant amount of articles talking about Romney ... and none of which are actually addressing the Obama problems of the economy, foreign policy, etc.

Disagree. Think he had the point all along. There are these things referred to as "the 7 laws of learning"; one of them is the "law of recency." In effect, the last thing heard is the thing you remember most. When do I want to spend the most time in the swing states? Early in the campaign, or...

Not surprised. As soon as the original story mentioned that they hadn't done a test on the ink yet, I knew it was supposition and publicity-mongering.

I was going to leave this alone, and go my merry way; but the tone I perceived in the last sentence wouldn't let me. Exactly! Why would Paul need to rebuke them if they had the proper manifestation of the gift! 1 Cor 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to...

LOL. Now you've entered the calvinist/arminian debate!

They should study the scriptures and pray fervently about it, yes. But the opposite is true, too: Suppose a member of a charismatic church lays hands on a girl in a wheelchair and prays, and she doesn't get up and walk. One by one, members of the charismatic church pray over this girl, but she...

v7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? v9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak...

Either. Or both. Depending on who and/or what needs correcting.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0912/81470.html?hp=t1_3 So the president admits he can't change things from "inside" Washington. Is this a potentially ominous statement? Or an early admission that re-election efforts aren't going well? (coupled with the 'retirement' property being...

Absolutely not. 1) See DHK's post #219. 2) Paul wasn't correcting the apostles from Acts 2. He was correcting the church at Corinth for their use of tongues. Why would they need correction? Because they weren't doing it right. So obviously the way the gift of tongues were done in Acts 2 is...

Still quibbling. One would hope that the church statement of beliefs is based on God's Word, and that the pastor fully examined it before taking the job. In which case, the pastor is still answering to God. If it doesn't align with God's Word, and the pastor still took the job, well, then...

I really meant to stay out of this...but I have to comment. The point DHK is making is about your individual praying by yourself. The disciples in Acts 2 may or may not have known what they were saying; scripture doesn't say either way. To say definitively, without doubt, that they didn't know...
