"No, you did not. You quoted the OPINION in the article that was posted in the OP." - Gypsy - Those are your words. I didn't quote the opinion. I quoted what the article called for. Cut and paste. Word for word. It really IS that simple. "The article did not "condemn the Salvation...

Ahem... Right there on the front page of the web site: It shows it both at the very top of the web site and far below in the blog section. I had gone to the web site and I did click on the additional link within the article. They want to take it further than just boycotting the bell ringers...

Selene is absolutely correct in her position. Using the standards for those that support polygamy, there are several other things allowed in the OT that could be done today. Things such as putting to death impudent children and the justification for stoning under certain circumstances. I spoke...

I have lived in Europe a couple of times. Charges like that are normally applied by an individual church for administrative purposes. They are NOT charged as a requirement by a specific denomination. Obviously, the church is more concerned about money than leaving the door open for an eventual...

-- Gypsy, you are a trip. I quoted the referenced article...word for word. I guess I shouldn't expect so much from someone whose "comprehension" leads them to ask, "Does the author really believe "the needy will go without" because gays do not give?"

Actually, yes that is what it said. From the article itself: "An organized effort to boycott the Salvation Army is also under way. A gay website, watermarkonline.com, is asking its readers nationwide not to give to the charitable organization. Gays in Chicago have launched their own campaign...

-- Are you being intentionally obtuse? The gay activists want to prevent them from being able to collect to provide for the poor and the needy simply because they do not agree with their position. And, as Kepha points out, they are trying to take this boycott nationwide. Yet - somehow - people...

I thought only the Muslim radicals use the word "infidels." -- I wasn't commenting on what you would do or say. I was commenting on your statement, "I thought only the Muslim radicals use the word "infidels."

American Heritage Dictionary: NOUN: 1. An unbeliever with respect to a particular religion, especially Christianity or Islam. 2. One who has no religious beliefs. 3. One who doubts or rejects a particular doctrine, system, or principle. ETYMOLOGY: Origin, Mid-15th Century. Middle English...

-- Selene, in order for your belief that Mary is a "Co-Mediatrix" to be true, you have to reject Scripture. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;" - 1 Tim 2:5 Scripture itself states there is but ONE mediator between God and man - Jesus Christ. In...

. -- Ah, good correction. The plot was in place for the last three years (minimum) that Clinton was in office but - by your own admission - the first two hijackers were in the U.S. a full year before Clinton left office ("The first hijackers to arrive in the United States were Khalid...

-- I LOVE it when the uninformed say things like this. It is obvious they are simply repeating what they have been told and since it is what they wanted to hear, never bothered checking for themselves to see if it was true. I enjoy providing them with actual facts. For example: The Bush/Gore...

-- What unmitigated drivel. You are using man's reasoning to justify a belief that is not supported by Scripture or the teachings of any of the early churches for the first several hundred years. The opinion that Mary was born without original sin is an opinion born of man. Catholics use what...

Aspen's opinion - as he himself has stated here more than once - is that if we are voting against Gay Marraige, we are "forcing our beliefs" on others. He also stated - ridiculously - that Christians vote against Gay Marraige in order to 'convert' homosexuals. .

-- It says first that that man would leave his mother and that woman leave her home. According to you, every hit-and-run sexual encounter counts as marraige. It does not.

-- It is when you are threatened and attacked for not wholeheartedly supporting that sin, criticized for being unwilling to endorse it as an acceptabel lifestyle, and being told by even fellow (misguided) Christians that if you do not support that sin by endoring Gay Marraige that you are...

"they were primarily Jews converting to Christianity through Paul’s use of Sacred Tradition." - Neophyte -- lol Neophyte, what was - specifically - the "Sacred Tradition" Paul used to convert Jews to Christianity? This thread grows tiresome. I have pointed out where people such as yourself...

-- According to your words, God's Great Commission to spread the Gospel to all nations is "foolish." His promise that you will be hated and despised in His name is nothing but "foolish." An unnecessary, non-productive self-inflicted wound. You missed the part in 1 Cor. 18 that says, "For the...

-- Unfortunately, you appear to actually believe that. Not surprising that you can present no evidence to support that position.

-- If this is how you feel about how difficulty-free Christianity should be and how despressing Heaven would be, then it appears that your problem isn't you walk with God, but rather the lack thereof. That is where you should start.
