    Gun Violence and Gun Control

    Good job equating the wholesale slaughter of innocent human life to divorce. It's clear you don't have your priorities straight. Furthermore, you have no idea what God thinks on this matter or any other because it's clear that you believe God is fine with abortion on demand remaining intact in...

    Where Politics and Christianity Mingle.

    The combining of patriotism and Christianity long predates Billy Graham. Patriotism is a cornerstone of the Knights of Columbus, for example, and "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" was written for propaganda for one side of the Civil War. No, this goes back a long, long ways. I agree with...

    Do we do as they do?

    This I agree with. I believe that there is a better way to deal with crimes than the use of capital punishment, but I would never hold a candle at a vigil protesting the carrying out of a death sentence as if it were an injustice to be decried. I wish that we would err toward life when dealing...

    Where Politics and Christianity Mingle.

    I agree with you on the fecklessness of adherence to one party over another, but the question is even broader than that, to the point it defies any simple answer. For example, patriotism has always coincided with Christian godliness in this country and rightly so. But should we remain patriotic...

    Gun Violence and Gun Control

    Actually, I've demonstrated that you are just as blind if not immensely more. Your beholden loyalty to the Democrat Party has made you part of the fake pro-life movement whereby abortion is wrong, but nothing should be done to stop it. Nearly all Democrat Catholics fall into this category and...

    Where Politics and Christianity Mingle.

    There's no doubt that they do, and many seize upon it as a corrupting of true Christianity. But such a purist view is completely undermined by the reality of how both good and evil progress in both the cultural and political realms. The most heinous acts of wholesale evil on this planet are...

    Do you agree with this pastor?

    He's already paying for it with death threats and rage from your kind of people. But let me ask you honestly, pertaining to the OP, is your opinion in any way affected by the fact that Martin was black and Zimmerman white and hispanic?

    Gun Violence and Gun Control

    Aspen2 has stated that anyone who feels they need a gun for defense is not trusting in God. Trying to reason with such a diseased thought process is as fruitful as sweeping a dirt floor.

    Pat Robertson

    I hear this all to often offered up as an excuse for transgenderism. Hermaphrodite ambiguity is a birth defect, a departure from God's original design and evidence of the ravages of sin and death brought into the world by the fall of Adam. It's an exceptionally rare condition that has nothing...

    Prophesy in the New Covenant

    No, John the Revelator was not a prophet, he had the gift of prophesy which is not the same thing. I made a compelling case in the OP that a prophet was a position, a liaison between God and his people because his people rejected God's original plan to deal with them directly. The reason that...

    Prophesy in the New Covenant

    You've so thoroughly misunderstood the OP that I think I would be wasting my time trying to explain it anew. Suffice to say, if the pope is a prophet then so is your pastor. If you can't understand that, I can't help you.

    Prophesy in the New Covenant

    Have you ever noticed how cults and false religions tend to have prophets? From the prophet Muhammad for Muslims to Joseph Smith for the Mormons to the "prophetess" Ellen G. White for the Seventh Day Adventists. If these religions truly understood the Bible and the New Covenant, they would...

    Pat Robertson

    This is a horrible abuse of scripture that courts contempt. Jesus was certainly NOT talking about a man who thinks he's a woman trapped in a man's body. A man who thinks he's a woman or a woman who thinks she's a man have a mental disorder and should be treated accordingly. It's like many...

    A Catholic's reflections on capital punishment

    I do believe that in lieu of capital punishment, murder should be punished by life in prison without the possibility of parole. I see a glaring injustice when a person serves 10 or 20 years and gets out and their victim is dead forever. I think mandatory life sentences make the punishment fit...

    Pat Robertson

    Why are we surprised? This is the same guy who suggested we covertly whack the president of Venezuela. The guy has been 2 grapes short of a fruit salad for decades.

    Are babies born without sin

    Sin and culpability aren't necessarily the same thing. Even growing beyond infancy, a child commits sins they can't possibly be held accountable for, but they are sins. They are defiant before the age of 2, lying before the age of 3, and committing violence against animals and other children...

    Do you agree with this pastor?

    The fact that he was 17 came out after the event. Can you really tell somebody who's 17 from somebody who's 15, 19 or 21? And does the right to self defense somehow fall by the wayside when the threat comes from a minor? There's only one point that I'll heartily agree with you on. God bless...

    A Catholic's reflections on capital punishment

    It's no mystery that the position of the Catholic Church is strongly unfavorable toward the practice of capital punishment as an end scenario in human criminal justice. My fellow Catholics have often jumped on me because I believe that the way capital punishment is practiced here in America...

    Apostasy:

    What you want is a simplified formula like many Protestants want; a neat little bow tied package that explains salvation in a nutshell. Scripture speaks at great length about the subject of salvation and by no means implies it's simple. If I were to offer you a simple phrase that sums it all...
