Should a young, petite, black, female photographer be required by law to provide her services for a KKK rally? Should a homosexual caterer be required by law to cater a dinner for the Westboro Baptist Church when their whole intention is to use their first amendment rights to lambaste the...

I really hope you're right about these things. I know the protections are already in place, but I also know there are a lot of interpretations of those protections. Heck, there are a lot of interpretations of the Constitution, itself. Just look at all the interpretations of the 2nd amendment and...

It's a good thing that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. I'm willing to give people a chance to change. Republicans and conservatives love to talk about what a hero Ronald Reagan was, but they forget that he was once a Democrat who changed his mind and became a Republican. But...

My evidence is anecdotal, which wouldn't be sufficient for someone like you. But I have heard malicious homosexuals say that they will push this issue just to advance their cause. So you really don't see the wisdom in putting protections in place before something like that happens? Like I said...

Well, here is an example of that issue being pushed immediately following the Supreme Court decision. http://nbc.com.co/christian-pastor-in-vermont-sentenced-to-one-year-in-prison-after-refusing-to-marry-gay-couple/ The ministry is also registered as a for-profit business, as well as a...

I disagree. If you look at the news reports, from the time that Trump said he was going to run until now, everyone has been trashing him. Every pundit out there predicted that he wouldn't last through the nominations, and they gave their 8 reasons why. But he defied them, and he's probably going...

I'm not necessarily endorsing Trump right now, but someone made a good point. If Trump endorses violence in rallies, then why is it the protests, disrespect, and violence are brought to his rallies from supporters of other campaigns, rather than him sending the violence to other people's rallies?

Just a couple of thoughts. First of all, it's hard for even a small group of people to keep a secret for any length of time. Last I heard, a couple of years ago there were around 7 million academic scientists in the world. Do you really think that many people could keep a secret and lie to us...

Why are we growing division in a thread about how we should be in unity? The fact that the Roman Catholic Church did a lot of bad things in the 1500's doesn't mean anything today. Not a single person in the Catholic Church today is at fault for what other people did hundreds of years ago, any...

Dude, they were all joking. I didn't see that thread, but based on what you quoted, it was a bunch of people joking around. One thing that would help promote unity would be if everyone would learn to lighten up at times.

Ha, ha, ha. Great way to lighten the mood. :D

You make it really hard to get the answer out of you that I want. So let me try to be as precise and to the point as I can. Do you believe that some people who are not part of "The Elect" can be born again? I think he's basically saying that from our perspective, it appears to us that we are...

In my opinion, the Gap Theory does a great job of reconciling scientific findings with a literal interpretation of the creation account.

I think he was stating his core beliefs and very loosely trying to sound similar to the Apostles' Creed, which includes the term "the holy catholic church", meaning the universal Church or Body of Christ. The Apostles' Creed is held valuable and celebrated by a lot of denominations.

While I agree that the fruit wasn't just an allegory for a sexual act, I think you have your fruits mixed up. The forbidden fruit was from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, which is much different than the Tree of Life that is found in heaven. Adam and Eve were allowed to eat of the Tree...

So according to 1 Tim. 2:3-4, God desires ALL men to be saved. And you admit that God knows that ALL men will not be saved. So then logically, either God doesn't choose who is saved, or He's not very powerful because He wants them all to be saved, but they're not all saved. Remember, there's a...

Just because the gospel is free doesn't mean that the vehicle the gospel is delivered in is always free. Not very many people trash Billy Graham. Billy Graham has led countless people to salvation. What percentage of those people would never have been saved if it wasn't for TV? It's not cheap to...

If you take the whole beginning and end of the Bible completely figuratively, then why would you take the middle literally? That means that Jesus' death and resurrection is just a figurative allegory of the evolution of our souls. We may as well throw the entire Bible out. We may as well throw...

Mat 24:40 "Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. Mat 24:41 "Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left. Mat 24:42 "Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. If there is no rapture...

Doh! I wasn't thinking. I love Titus 2:11-12, but I meant to say 1 Timothy 2:3-4 1Ti 2:3 This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 1Ti 2:4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. So now that I'm starting to figure out some of your...
