    Violence: Mandy Patinkin

    Is the question violence in general, or violence in television?

    Romney Was Correct!

    Actually, I've been quite surprised at both CNN and Fox over the last few months. CNN has shown a surprising downward trend regarding support of Obama; while Fox has shown an increasing amount of opinion pieces supporting Obama. Both are still extremely biased; but it's interesting to...

    Were the tongues the same?

    Yes! "They" were the unbelievers standing by; "they" heard the apostles speaking in tongues; "they" weren't saved yet, so therefore hadn't received what God had promised. You've mixed up the two groups. So which languages were being spoken in Acts 10? There's a difference between "purpose"...

    Who's telling the truth about Medicare's future?

    18 states are adopting an Obama administration pilot program that takes away healthcare choice from senior citizens. http://video.foxnews.com/v/1835216029001/

    Such a Peaceful Religion

    No, they weren't. They were busy beheading defilers, cutting off the hands of thieves, ensuring their women were "kept in their place," and fighting amongst each other. Anyone who tells you otherwise is guilty of revisionist history.

    Egypt needs submarines, Obama wants to give them a billion dollars

    Why don't you text message him and remind him that Americans are still in need of houses and jobs? Surely $1B could have paid off a couple of homes, especially for that young lady just before the last election who thought he was actually going to buy her a house and a car....

    So, my apologies if I sound like a Rick Warren "Purpose-Driven" type (I'm not; and the reason I'm not is because when I read Warren's first book, I immediately saw that he was using management textbook principles; and further, that he was trying to shoehorn a "one size fits all" type...

    I'm with ya, Luke (yeah, I should have gone to bed. Oh, well). So let me throw this out: the second part of the leadership problem--as I see it--can be described using the situational leadership model. In that model, the leader matches his leadership style to the type of follower. For example, a...

    Obama: Got time for Letterman but not Netanyahu

    The question is, where will Obama stand if/when Israel strikes? Will there be a formal statement denouncing or supporting Israel? Will there be some support of Israel, in the form of drones or military? Or will Obama go so far as to link America with a UN-led anti-Israel movement in the form of...

    Mitt Romney admitts being pro abortion

    First, I've never seen where Romney claimed to be 100% anti-abortion. I've seen many reports where democrats claimed he was 100% anti-abortion, and the response from his campaign has always included the exclusions for rape and life of the mother. The democrats push the 100% thing to get the...

    The Elephant in the Room

    You know what this article *doesn't* say? It doesn't say "let's re-elect Obama, cause we think he'll do a better job than Romney, or even better than he did during his first term." What it does say is that Romney and the republicans need to quit wimpy-footin' around and get to it.

    So Judith -- who would you recommend we vote for?

    Ya know, once upon a time, I took all the classes and training for Total Quality Management (what has now "evolved" into LEAN, Six Sigma, Lean Six Sigma, Scrum, and several other management fads--er, excuse me, I meant "techniques"--and even got in-depth on the Ishikawa diagrams (fish bone...

    Were the tongues the same?

    In Acts 2, who provided the interpretations? In Acts 10, who provided the interpretations? I did not disagree with you about what they were doing; scripture is quite clear that they were speaking of the wonderful works of God. Where you and I disagree is why they were heard to be speaking in...

    Where were you?

    At work. Just happened to look over at the TV, and saw some of the initial reports; stepped into the wing commander's office and said, "Sir, you have to see this."

    Were the tongues the same?

    The question is, what is it that you think we're disagreeing about? You seem to think that we're supposed to magnify God in a foreign tongue; I say tongues were given to the people in Acts in order to show God's miracles to the unbelievers, not as a requirement of some kind. I disagree; when...

    Were the tongues the same?

    That's not what I said. I said scripture says tongues are a sign for the unbeliever, which is what 1 Cor 14:22 says. Why are you twisting my words? The people in Cornelius' house. Read carefully; they hadn't believed on Jesus yet. It was after Peter preached Jesus to them that they received the...

    Were the tongues the same?

    I have to disagree, because you appear to be steadfast on the point that the purpose of tongues is "to speak to God." That directly contradicts what scripture tells us. I'll point it out again: 1 Cor 14:22, Paul tells us what the purpose of tongues is -- a sign for the unbeliever. Anyone who...

    Were the tongues the same?

    Exactly. So tongues can be different languages. Because that's what scripture says in 1 Cor 14:22; tongues are for a sign to the unbeliever. Of course; but the question is why were they granted the power to speak in tongues they didn't know themselves, but were known by others? Right; it...
