Abortion is “wrong” on moral grounds, but so is “fornication”. I am reluctant to place too much hope in “legislating morality”. When Roe v. Wade is overturned, people seeking abortions will simply cross state lines to get it done in a nearby state where it is legal. I think the talk of going...

I believe that overturning Roe v. Wade is the right thing to do from a LEGAL perspective. It was “Judicial Legislation” at its worst - violating the intended function and separation of the 3 Branches - and it was based on a flawed understanding of embryonic human development available at the...

I have no inclination to argue the point, but it was not Jacob’s faithfulness that impressed God, but God’s faithfulness that transformed Jacob. (As is always the case.)

Why did God choose Jacob?

The “Family of God” is what it has ALWAYS been … those GOD chooses to call His children. Abraham was a child of God because God chose ‘Abram’ and named him Abraham. Ishmael and Isaac were both children of Abraham … God chose Isaac to be a child of the promise. Isaac fathered twins (Esau and...

I can’t speak for what anyone but ME believes, but I do not object to obedience to the Law … it is predicted by Ephesians 2:10. What I object to is: Salvation earned by obedience to the Law. Obedience to the Law as a way to earn God’s love. Too many people attempt to place “obedience”...

See every post that you ever made in an OP. YOU are my proof. YOU are my witness. YOU worship Mary in the name of “veneration”.

[Lev 18:22 NASB95] 22 'You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination. [Lev 18:22 KJV] 22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination. [Lev 18:22 NIV] 22 " 'Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is...

Their support for what God calls “an abomination” (Leviticus 18:22) is a fact, not an opinion. The belief that following the teaching of those that “call good, evil” and “call evil, good” is a bad idea … that is, indeed, my opinion.

The Episcopal church would also see nothing wrong with a marriage of two husbands or a marriage of two wives … so they may not be the best source for accurate Biblical interpretation.

Utter nonsense.

She may not deserve the death penalty (that is not for me to say based on third hand reports), but she was convicted by a jury based on more than JUST her confession to beating and neglecting her 2 year old daughter. She may not be guilty of murder, but she is not innocent.

The actual court case itself (from the appeal): MELISSA ELIZABETH LUCIO v. THE STATE OF TEXAS (concurring) … there was more than just her confession. The evidence presented in this case shows that, at about 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 17, 2007, paramedics were dispatched to an apartment...

Mariah Alvarez was born to Melissa Lucio and Robert Alvarez in September 2004. Mariah was Lucio's twelfth child. Child Protective Services had previously investigated Lucio for allegations of child neglect, and they noted that Lucio's youngest children were often left in the care of their...

That is not ALL women being in submission to ALL men. I have no AUTHORITY over YOUR wife … she is to be under the authority of her husband. It is a specific call for order and responsibility over what God has made us responsible for (the man over his household and the shepherd over God’s flock).

Philippians 1:6 Philippians 2:12-13 God’s arm is not short, and He can finish what He starts. And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become...

Yup. Claims are easy to make. Now is it true? That becomes trickier. ;) However … But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your...

These two are related. 6. You sin because you are a sinner … you are only being true to your nature (thus the need for God to create in you a new nature). 8. He doesn’t. Adam’s sin makes you a sinner … we are “a chip off the old block” and “the apple didn’t fall far from the tree” and “like...
