-- Agreed. Casting Crowns has a song called "Slow Fade" and the very first line is: "Be careful little eyes what you see It's the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings." I think that sums it up perfectly....

-- Thankfully you have said more than once that everything you post on this board is your opinion and nothing more. That distinction is important because your overgeneralizations are simply not supported by facts.

Yesterday I was in a UPS store getting something laminated. There is a large sign on its counter that says in order to ship anything from this location, a legal gov't recognized photo ID is required. I thought that strange so I checked the UPS web site...

The gospel of Christ will never be spread at the end of a sword. This discussion is a waste of time.

Any great change for the good starts on your knees.

What you are interested in and what you will get if you allow the government to decide the best way to help the environment are two different things.

-- When comedian W.C. Fields was at the end of his life he was discovered reading a Bible in his hospital bed one day. When asked what he was doing, he replied, "Lookin' for loopholes." Elysian, you appear to be doing the exact same thing. I assume you have read the Word, and if you have you...

Yesterday was MLK's birthday. I first became interested in him, when I was young and my father, commenting on MLK's speech from the Lincoln memorial, said that in his opinion large parts of that speech were divinely inspired. What I learned over time was that he was a flawed man who practiced...

But that doesn't mean that the best thing you can do for the environment is give the government a black check and say, "fix it." Solyndra is just one example of why that is a very bad idea...

- Because it tastes good. - To toast the birth of a child or a new marraige - To participate in a social function with others - So as not to offend someone What does it matter as long as the drink isn't to "escape" or to intentionally get drunk, or consumed in a pattern of gluttony? As I said...

-- Let me answer your question with a question. Do you really think God would judge an infant who has no ability to realize who God is, let alone make a decision to follow Him...the exact same way that He would an adult who has heard about God, has the ability to judge for himself, and chose not...

I would have to disagree. One of the groups strongest hit by the requirement is a group that most strongly supports Republicans in most cases: The Elderly As many get older they move into care facilities and do not drive, and thus their driver's licenses expire. They, because of their age...

-- But if his 'focus' didn't involve completely surrendering his life to Christ and turning away from all other spiritual beliefs and practices, then he is not in heaven. That isn't judging him. That is simply an if-than statement based on what God said is required for those who wish to see heaven.

I personally know one person who knew 30 years ago that God had a calling on their life. He chose not to fulfill it and instead spent those 30 years in the wilderness of destructive behavior, personal loss, and pain. Today he has come back fully to Christ. He is working to fulfill the calling...

There is a long litany of things that in and of themselves are not bad. It is the abuse of those things that are the issue. Food is a classic example. Everyone needs food. But gluttony is a sin. I believe that drinking an alcoholic beverage is not a sin. But drinking it to "escape" or to...

-- To me that seems simply to be a convenient dodge for a Catholic to not have to agree with the God supported, heartfelt moral stance of the leader of their church. Especially when the Catholic church has never said that the Pope's position on a matter of moral or scriptural authority should...

I agree with you Rach. But there are Christians on this very board that speak out against voicing the Gospel to those who do not know God, instead saying that they will be able to observe your life from a distance and take example from that, only speaking to them if THEY approach YOU. Yet...

-- I am of the opinion that Mr. Obama will win a second term. Not becaue God is pleased with America and is doing it to bless us. In fact, I feel Mr. Obama is a product of God NOT looking out for America. We have, over the last thirty years slowly and methodically turned out back on God. He...

-- Ghandi know "of" Jesus, but did not know Him personally. He spoke positively of the message of peace that Jesus put forth and made a comment (paraphrasing) that he liked Christ very much....it was Christians he had a problem with. Murder or any other sit committed after you become a...

- Thank you, Aspen. I see where you are coming from. I do ask one question, though. And I ask it sincerity, not confrontation. How do you know the Pope isn't speaking Ex Cathedra? The reason I ask is because my understanding is that the Pope never makes specific moral pronouncements that are in...
