    Baptist View on Capitol Punishment

    Alright then, also like the woman in John 8, a murderer (the only offense for which the death penalty is administered in some states of the USA) should just be told to "Go and sin no more?" Or do you not think these changes Jesus put into the law should be taken THAT seriously?

    Baptist View on Capitol Punishment

    If I were innocent of the crime that convicted me, I would prefer the death penalty to even a few months in jail/prison/death row.

    To the beach?

    Our mild spring now is ended. Our cool afternoons, As I foretold you, are now spread over, And are melted into summer; into hot summer. And like the idle parting of this season, The cloud-capped moisture, the gorgeous rainbows, The solemn windstorm, the great ambiance itself, Yea all which it...

    To the beach?

    I've only been to the salt-water beaches of Galveston and Gulfport.

    What are the two Bible Versions that you use the most?

    "Thick" = Old Testament, "Thin" = New Testament? For me, it used to be NASB all-the-way, but then about the first of November, when I began going again to church and Bible study after surgery, I didn't carry my Bible with me on crutches, so I picked one off the shelf in out meeting room, and...

    I Tim. 3:2 Not About Polygamy

    Maybe she killed all 5? I have sometimes wondered if Chaucer considered this passage when he created the "Wife of Bath."

    Why do men do the things they do?

    Well.... I breathe because my blood must have oxygen. I eat because I am in need of energy. I drive a car to get from one point to another. I enter poetry contests because I like to win (and usually do). I answer your question because you asked and I assume you weren't looking for a Yes or...

    Jehovah Witness Team or, 2 Mormon Boys at Your Door ???

    I haven't had a visit from either of them for about 3 years. That last time it was 2 mormon guys, wearing their name tags. I opened the door and one said, "Hello, sir--" Before he could say anything else, I said, "CLEAR OUT O' HERE!-- NOW!" feeling my throat grind. They turned and left and...

    Funny team names

    I don't have any sources with me now, but I have read a few articles about funny, or surprisingly appropriate, team names in Texas. With more than 1000 high schools, I suppose there should be a few. There is some team called the Fighting Gorillas, but I don't remember where it is. A Port...

    Will you be attending the Southern Baptist Convention

    I wish I could afford to go. I wouldn't attend, but I would use the money to replace my water heater (haven't had hot water since the end of January).

    Church Play, Your Thoughts

    I suppose what this church did was alright. But I do wonder, like a poster above, whether she played Daniel as a female character or played him straight. I certainly have nothing against a church (or a subgroup thereof) doing a drama, but in a portrayal right out of scripture, perhaps it...

    Science fiction and horror movies

    I am not a fan of science fiction, or horror, generally. But a few movies or TV eps have been among my relatively short list of favorites at times [I have very limied 'taste' in motion pictures or literature.] I have to agree that The Twilight Zone presents an interesting and thought-provoking...

    The Deception of False Geography in Song Lyrics

    "I'll fly away..." I don't know; the scriptural langauge is "meet the Lord in the air." Seems accurate enough. But this does bring to mind that I was once informed that in the hymn, "Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross," the phrase, "...till my ransomed soul shall find..." used to be "...till my...

    The Deception of False Geography in Song Lyrics

    As for bad theology in hymns and songs, quite a number come to mind, including in the psalms-- like the 139th is a 'favorite' of many, but it intensely advocates hating those who do not worship the Lord. Let's see... "The Roll is Called Up Yonder"... are they really gonna do a roll call? If...

    The Deception of False Geography in Song Lyrics

    Since the Red River runs north of Texarkana, into Arkansas, then turns south into Louisiana, maybe that line should read: "It was down in Lou'siana, on the river that runs by Texarkana..."

    Jupiter loses a stripe...scientists baffled

    Maybe it's a signal from some ET's; they want to begin contact, but want to be far away from us because they don't trust us. Of course, maybe old Jupe just puckered one of his lips.

    The Gap Theory of Genesis

    And from what other perspective can we, or the ancients, look at things? With space-time nonexistent, there is no way to put a schedule on it. But like the 4 corners of the earth and the sun hurrying around, the perspective elective is selected to be our corrective directive, whether objective...

    Would The Biblical Miracles Be Believed Today?

    I assume you meant "... all of theM in public..." But that's not true... the daughter of Jairus, the centurion's servant, the gentile woman's daughter; and calming the storm and walking on water was done only with his disciples there to see, which should not be considered the public's eye.

    Would The Biblical Miracles Be Believed Today?

    Be specific. What "miracles" happen every day?

    Would The Biblical Miracles Be Believed Today?

    Just what kind of "miracles" does this youtube man do? Have you seen a person with a missing arm or leg grow another one?
