Awaken -- if they weren't different tongues in Acts 2, then why did the hearers ask how they heard them speaking in different languages? If it's not different tongues in 1 Cor 14, then why do we see Paul reference a single tongue in verses 13 and 14, but multiple tongues in verses 5-6, 10, and...

I stopped reading after the first 5.... ...because under Obama, there's been no change to those....

Luke, I'm not actually arguing with you. But give it a few minutes of thought, considering the pharisees as your analogy instead of the one you presented.. They were the most learned men of their culture in their time; and that spawned an arrogance that they were better than the multitudes, that...

What has to be watched out for, and fought against, are those EOs that add to the "taxation" of the people. It is my thought process that any EO that increases regulation, and thus increases reliance on taxes, and thus increases taxes required to support such regulation, is in violation of the...

(sirens wailing) Stand back! Stand back! Grammar police on the scene! Sir, you're receiving this ticket because of your triple negative. Let's examine what you said: "I didn't not say that God couldn't save anyone" Break it down: "I did not not say that God could not save anyone" Two...

I appreciate the back-and-forth between Luke and QuantumFaith; and Luke, I appreciate your second post further explaining your position outlined in the first post. I would add one thing to what you've written, piggy-backing on what QuantumFaith brought up: Arrogance is the problem. Arrogance +...

Kinda funny, Zaac. You see, for 29 years, I, too, was wicked to the core. I don't know what church my parents took me to when I was little. Went to a methodist church for a few years. Stopped going to any church for a few years. Tried mormonism for a little while, but something rang false about...

So the latest EO being considered is because congress voted on a cyber-security bill, and it didn't pass. fcw.com/articles/2012/09/07/obama-white-house-cybersecurity-executive-order.aspx?m=1 It didn't pass due to concerns about increased regulations causing increased financial burden on the...

And don't worry: If he does quote from one of the books of mormon, there will be quite the hubbub afterwards.

Roger -- give that some thought. They started out without God in their statement. They chose to vote about it, and the vote indicated they wanted to leave God out of it; but "those that know better" overrode the party vote and put it back in, which caused an outburst. The initial reports...

And thus, the part where I said "further expanded previous presidents". Emphasized Clinton to show it went back before Bush (Patriot Act is considered the beginning, but it started before then). Pay attention: I said "related to these." It doesn't matter how many each issued.

In July, he signed an E.O. that granted Homeland Security the authority to take over all communications. Back in March, he signed one that further expanded previous presidents' (including Clinton) EOs, allowing the government to take private property or even private businesses in time of...

Oh, and one more thing: if you want something to be a societal "norm", isn't it better to start teaching them at an early age that it's "normal"? Thus, why we have homosexual curricula in kindergartens and elementary schools? And when they're older, all they'll know is "it's always been this way."

First: what about those kids that don't want to carry the cards, or their parents don't want want them to carry the cards, whether it be for religious or personal privacy or other reasons? Do you, and how do you make exceptions for them? Second, once this program is proven to be successful...

Currently, yes. But what's wrong with expanding it to include off-campus tracking? If the roll call indicates the student isn't where they should be, does the card indicate if the student is off-campus? If so, does it indicate where off-campus? Yes, most students will leave their cards in...

So--would you be okay with using this technology for truancy enforcement?

Couple this with Al Gore's statement that we should do away with the electoral college, and you see a democratic party that has serious doubts about their ability to win this November.

So would it be okay to use these to enforce truancy laws?

All right; I'll grant you that. So what's the opinion about requiring students to carry chipped cards for monitoring purposes?
