    "Stand You Ground" Laws

    As ridiculous as that sounds, I consider your views equally ridiculous. My interpretation of these events is that the left is rallying it's base through manipulation. They aim to pressure the states into imposing more restrictive gun control policies.

    The Dangers Of Wrong Friendships - Article

    It is sufficient for people to know your a Christian and see you adhering to christian principles. Be selective about your friends, know them by their fruits. Do not confide in the wicked, they will have a greater corrupting influence on you than you might think. Do not go to them if your in...

    "Stand You Ground" Laws

    What you refer to here is known as the Castle doctrine. You have the right to defend yourself in your home and do not have to flee it. Stand your Ground is an extension of the castle doctrine and permits you to defend yourself anywhere your allowed to be, and not just on your own property...

    "Stand You Ground" Laws

    You have said quite a mouthful there, all of which appears to be very much in line with the liberal agenda. Rather than start another pointless debate about rights and laws, I suggest we look at the crux of the matter for those of us who are concerned with the will of God. When does God...

    Thinking Out Loud

    I would also like to know what D/U is. By "be yourself," I suppose she means be genuine. Don't put on an act or try to elevate yourself socially. If taken the wrong way "Be yourself" would be detrimental advice. It could be taken as a form of self-justification. It is better to conform to...

    Are Red Soup Eating Christian Conservatives The Problem In America?

    I'm more inclined to say that people on public assistance trade their independence for food, In the same way Esau traded his inheritance to Jacob for food. Your independence is an inheritance, one that Americans are squandering for a price far less than what it is worth.

    They work for God, they just don't know it.

    Rom 13:1-7 was for a time when God was interested in nation building. During the tribulation God will be interested in nation destroying. Therefore he will hand over the nations to a depraved mind and they will fall under Satan's control. Rulers will confuse good for evil and evil for good...

    Why did you start believing?

    I became a Christian when I was a boy. The first sermon in Church that caught my attention was one about the wrath of God against sinners, and the savior Jesus Christ who died for our sins. That day I accepted Jesus into my heart, and there he stays. I didn't do much else to improve the...

    Swearing oaths and Matthew 5:33-37

    I take it as a command not to make oaths or vows. Yet oaths remain in our society because the are an effective means of control. People still make vows to God that are not within their power to keep. If your obligations are already known an oath or vow serves only as a deterrent to acting...

    When murder is legal

    It is wonderful that we have a God who loves us so much he is willing to forgive even murder. There is no advantage for the Lord's sheep however, because the act of murder is proof they are not who they claim to be. 1 John 3:15 Anyone who does not love remains in death. 15 Anyone who hates a...

    Is God outside of time?

    This verse I believe offers some insight to God's perspective. Revelation 8:3-4 3 Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne. 4 The smoke of the...

    The KEY to understanding WHY all the different denominations

    Why all the different denominations? I think this sums it up pretty good if you suppose Jesus spoke of the Catholic church in this parable. Luke 12:45-46 41 Peter asked, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?” 42 The Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise...

    Need Fellowship and Prayer

    To make something clear, faith will not allow you to see the way out of trouble. Faith is in God, who will find a way out of the situation for you by his intervention. His answer will come as a surprise. Now if you still have even a little faith there is hope, and I believe you do have some...
