People are flocking to Gingrich because anger is building below the surface. I think that's a trait of Americans - there is a certain threshold that will be tolerated when things are not right - anger is only slowly built up when things persist. Right now its kindling, the TEA parties were only...

Aspen, with boots on the ground in my home state, I think that's hardly the reason. I will say - and in the interest of not igniting a powder-keg on here - that I think Romney's problems were part lack of charisma (see the Thursday night debate gaffe on his taxes - and do note it's not that's...

Actually the very same can be said going the other way on that argument for a moment. Where did we get the races from after the flood? (Other than postulating that the tower of Babel included race when it only talked about language, which goes outside of the language far more than understanding...

I will not reveal details about any member here to the public, but there is no reason to doubt the OP. I will leave that at that. To answer the question, no he is not a teacher. Please be aware of what Jesus said in the Gospel: Mark 10:18 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one...

I don't see a problem with telling someone you're wrong, dead wrong, etc. What I'm speaking about (and the OP), is when it comes to names etc. I've seen people called idiots, imbeciles, children of the devil, etc and that's the kinda language I'm speaking about. It's where the discussion has...

Welcome to the community! :)

Well, you're creating a false dichotomy for one. Me (or anyone else) being nice to someone does not equate to flattery. The whole problem is that people come on here, speak perfectly religious sounding words, and finally claim the religious high ground as they seek to target people who simply...

I believe very much that sons of God refers to fallen angelic beings. I think the point that angels are not supposed to reproduce is a strong one, but we know there was rebellion in heaven at some point prior to this (Satan was in the garden afterall) and thus there is some degree of power that...

The key point to your argument there Son of Man, is that was Jesus speaking. Reading the passages you provided with your suggested bent on them would render previous passages in this thread as in direct contradiction to that. (In addition to a clear misreading of the respecter of persons part...

You have to chuckle. ;) I don't think God came up with 3:16, but if it's getting people interested in the gospel (which has happened with Tebow and John 3:16 before), then it cannot be all bad.

Thank you. As the webmaster/founder, thank you. What I wish (and some members get this) is that we could understand disagreeing with the person is distinct from personally attacking the person. Trust me, I've seen it all from complete insanity (I talk to Jesus and have gave me a new Bible...

I was a fan of Tebow even at the University of Florida (as much as I disliked his stellar record against us and UF in general) - I did a blog post on this after the game last week, actually. I like Tebow as a QB and leader of my favorite NFL team the Broncos. It enhances my "liking" because...

Well, I'm more boring probably for you, but I just read an awesome guy book called God and Football, Faith and Fanaticism in the SEC dealing with college football as basically a religion here in the south. I'm currently reading a political book which sounds rather dark, called Suicide of a Super...

Close, but moved you over to the right place, Jon. ;) Welcome to Christianity Board. Sounds like you're just right up the road. The stuff you talk about - the religious junk - is what I hope you can avoid here. I think the church (as a whole), has absolutely GOT to get beyond it! It's going to...

You've got my prayer!

Welcome to Christianity Board. I'd like to think CB is not just full of "religious" people, though I'm a little unsure what judgment might have been passed already in this case. I'll hope to see you around the board and maybe impressions will change.

Welcome! What book(s) have you read lately? I love to read myself and we have a cat as well - a particularly bad cat that has earned the name "Gilcifer" (his real name is Gilly) on occasion, but we love him all the same as he provides much joy and lots of humor. I feel like there are certain...

Romans 3:9-12 What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, as it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless...

Aspen, have you ever heard of Creation Care? http://http://creationcare.org/ I'm more of the mind that this is a symptom as opposed to a major theological problem. For example, I think if the average person cared more about others in the manner Jesus instructed us, then litter becomes a much...

You know, I've looked at writings, debates, arguments, etc on both sides of the equation. I'll make it known that I've looked at what Patrick Buchanan, Ron Paul, and others have said (including from the left though I am admittedly less familiar with names there) and if you really (objectively)...
