    One of the organizations in my community is the CITA Mission (CITA = Christ is the Answer). They provide services to homeless people who suffer from addiction. I give to them. But I will also help an addicted person. I do not cross the street to avoid coming into contact with addicts. Almighty...

    The Samaritan Woman

    A defense is only needed if there is an attack. Again, if you felt I attacked you, I'm sorry. It is not my intention to attack anyone and if I come across that way I'd like to step back and examine what I'm doing. That's something I try to do constantly. Thanks for the feedback.

    The Samaritan Woman

    Look, Veteran, I am not trying to create a conflict with you. If you are seeing one, that is not my intention at all. If you have taken offense it is offense where none was intended. I'll not say any more on the subject because it is more important to me for there to be peace among Chrisatians...

    Todd Akin

    Of course mentaly ill, substance addicted, and people who are down and out need my help. I give it to them cheerfully. That is not the issue. Let me tell you what I know personally about "poor". I was born in a 2 room shack that had no running water. My mother drew every drop of water by...

    The Samaritan Woman

    Well, that helps me better understand why you believe as you do. You have a view of what is prophesied, and therefore history is viewed from that perspective. That's not how I do exegesis, but that's okay. I'm not right and everyone else wrong. I only understand as God gives me to...

    The Samaritan Woman

    Well, first you said there were no Isaelites left behind and I showed you there were. The Israelites were already mixing with Hittites, Canaanites, and all the other "ites" that were in the land, which was part of what destroyed them. They took wives and gods from among the native people. Now...

    Todd Akin

    Well, I don't like Akin or dislike him. I live in Florida and I don't know anything about him other than the one controversy. The reason I brought it up was because of the lopsided reaction of the Republican party bosses. Here in Florida the party bosses lobbied heavily for Charlie Crist for...

    Using foul language

    Well, culture does change things and in 1600 when they were translating the KJV of the Bible, I'm sure the word "pisseth" was not considered vulgar. You could let loose with a string of Japanese curse words at work and nobody would raise an eyebrow either. It is hard for me to envision an...

    The Samaritan Woman

    Right. You asked, “What remaining Israelites in those lands of Samaria? God's Word teaches us that ALL the ten tribes of Israel were removed from those lands, captive to Assyria… So the Samaritans were not some 'mixed' race” I explained how they were in fact a mixed race when I pointed out 2...

    The Samaritan Woman

    I take my opinion directly from God's word as well. According to 2 Chronicles 15 there had been people from the hill-country cities of Ephriam and manasseh that had been caught by the Judah's king Asa and who had gone into the Judean kingdom population but later returnd to practice the Hebrew...

    Concerning Doctrinal Differences

    I received the following in an email from a school where I've been taking some online courses. I found it to be uplifiting, and thought others might too. Sorry if it's a little long... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT YOU NEED TO...

    God Taken out Of DNC Platform

    You're right. And while I did not hear a rooster crowing, they did indeed deny God three times.

    Polygamy

    Well, I was not going to post further, but I do want to comment on this because what you've said is not precisely what I (thought I) said. I don't believe in situational morality. I do believe God judges our heart based on the understanding He has blessed us with. That may look outwardly...

    "Extravagant Lifestyles" of Mega-Pastores Explored

    You know, it seems to be a timeless truth that the worst place to look for God is in the religious "leaders" of the day. We have rich preachers who live lavish lifestyles shacking up in motel rooms with prostitutes, or smoking meth with homosexual prostitutes or merely living extravagant...

    God Taken out Of DNC Platform

    Since MSNBC is reporting none of this, most Democrats will never know about it :-)

    God Taken out Of DNC Platform

    Well, when they realized what a horrible mistake they had made an effort was launched to put both God and Jerusalem (as Israel's capital) back into the Democrat platform. It took three votes because it takes a 2/3 majority to change the platform. There was a lot of hard arm twisting to get the...

    You do realize you've created a monster, don't you Angelina? You and HS and whoever else performed their dastardly experiments have truly created a monster. Hey, where'd I put my torch???!!!

    Todd Akin

    I believe I have communicated poorly somehow. I too believe we should have generous hearts. What I disagree with is using the government to force others to be generous. There is no virtue in stealing from the rich to feed the poor as in the legend of Robin Hood. Robin Hood was still a thief...

    Prayers for Andrea

    I went to high school with Andrea. That was several decades ago. She is now suffering awful anguish right now as she struggles to endure end stage lung cancer. If you feel led to do so, please lift her up today. Thank you.
