Nothing in the Luke 4 text suggests a vision. Are you reading into the text?

Yes, the text is literal. Why do you question it being literal?

You must be aware that Jesus did not always gently persuade. He called people snakes, vipers and even the devil. Does that sound gentle to you?

No. Your implied premises are rejected. We are free to choose but not free from the consequences of that choice. Oklahoma is merely improving the education of its citizens. There is nothing dictatorial or hypocritical about it. (My, how you twist things!) Reading comprehension includes...

In Luke 4:5 and 9 it reads, depending on the translation, that the Devil took Jesus up or led Jesus. If the devil led Jesus to a high place, it means Jesus followed the devil. If the devil had physical power over Jesus, why didn't he throw Jesus to his death? And why don't demons exercise...

I could always understand a man having sex with a 15 yo, though technically a minor, an obvious grown women, by biological standards. (Some say Mary was probably 14 when she conceived Jesus and 15 when she gave birth.) That is, as a man, I was made to be sexually attracted to a woman. But...

Good God! The earliest possible rational age of consent would coincide with ancient and Biblical Bar and bat mitzvah of 13 yo, coinciding with the biological transformation of puberty. i.e., sexual capability, if not sexual maturity.

The economic principle of taxation applies. The more you subsidize a behavior, the more you get of it. The more you tax a behavior, the LESS you get of it. Our society is punishing Good Samaritans. This explains the many stories of terrible things happening while bystanders look on. Decades...

In no way does being proud of something mean one has to, defect, be proud of every aspect of it. I'm proud of the principles upon which the republic of the US was established. Since then, we have often failed to live up to those ideals. There is now so much corruption, I've taken to actively...

No. Learning about the Roman Empire. Actually joining the Roman Legions. Not the same thing.

Good question. I drive according to the actual, real driving conditions. I don't drive as if, what if there were different driving conditions that what is actually happening on the road.

To me, this guy is a hero! It shows what an upside down world we live in; the criminals are protected and the heroes are persecuted.

I respect your patriotism. You have a lot to be proud of being British! Have you ever read The Rise And Fall of The British Empire? It is a wonderful tribute to the United Kingdom.

Let’s stick to the current reality. No need to engage is suppositions.

Fear mongering post. The State already has this authority.

OMG! There is no such thing as ‘separation of church and state’ in our Constitution.

Community standards not withstanding, the sovereign State has the power to decide to teach their citizens our Christian heritage.

You've lost the argument. Resorting to personal attacks proves this. Both can be done. Educate kids via public education AND individually evangelize.

Guess what? That is EXACTLY what is happening in Oklahoma. Good observation.
