"The Rosary has been a very powerful source of grace in my life. It absolutely brings the Holy Spirit into me and Mary is spouse of the Holy Spirit, Mother of God, and the first half of the Hail Mary and the Lord's prayer are chanting quotes from Scripture. The word of God has power." --...

First off, it's 'Rapture' not 'Rpature. Secondly, it's 'specious' not 'species.' And lastly, your verbiage is uninviting of discussion, condescending, yet provides absolutely nothing to support your position. :huh:

In your original post you said, "God says that incest is sinful." Isn't He pretty much the final word on the subject?

Tucker Carlson? lol Honestly Aspen, that's what you are reduced to? You know he has nothing to do with it. But you know who DOES have something to do with it. The Danish Meteorological Institute and NOAA. <----- You know....the "Scientific Community" THEY are the ones who provided the...

Again, Greenland is going to be just fine... "Right now, Greenland and the Poles are melting like they have not melted in thousands of years - much longer than when the Roman Empire existed." - Aspen Ummmm, no...

Greenland is going to be just fine...... The top seven global warming alarmist setbacks in 2013 http://dailycaller.com/2013/12/20/the-top-seven-global-warming-alarmist-setbacks-in-2013/ Setback Number1: Studies show that the world was warmer than it is today during the Roman Empire and when...

Doglady, it is actually your numbers that are 'skewed.' These aren't the GOP numbers...They are the IRS numbers... http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-soi/09inratesnap.pdf Top .1% paid 17% of all federal taxes (that is point one percent) Top 1% paid 37% of all federal taxes Top 5% paid 59% of all...

It is easy to be generous and benevolent as a Democrat when you are demanding that someone ELSE give their money to take care of the poor. But direct government financial handouts have proven not to be the solution. Things have only gotten worse. Why? The removal of accountability. When...

If the statistics given at the beginning of this thread are true, then the adage about 'narrow is the road and few is the number...' is more correct that we would like to think. But I would quote the article itself: "According to the National Association of Evangelicals, 80 percent of unmarried...

Of the two parties, which has celebrated the fact they are NOT tied to Christian ethics? The same party that criticizes those that with to live their Christin ethics. The same party that blames all of America's ills on the religious right and people of faith. The same party that supports the...

Forgive me, Aspen. I must have been sleeping in school when they mentioned the Pilgrims escaping religious oppression being 'Rich White Male Landowners.' Especially the ones that came over as indentured servants.

Believe what you wish about the Rapture, but it was NOT a Johnny-come-lately 19th century invention of John Darby... http://beginningandend.com/what-did-ancient-church-fathers-believe-about-the-rapture/ Irenaeus - (130 A.D. – 202 AD) Cyprian - (200 AD – 258 AD) Ephraim - (306 AD – 373 AD)

The topic of hell, etc. has been discussed on this board many a time, and the discussions always seem to go the way this one has. The really good ones have been where people start saying, "But in ancient Greek the meaning is actually..." or "In the Latin, it actually translates into..." Or...

Interesting discussion. I must agree with a point made earlier. If these Christian bakers are going to say no to a wedding cake for a gay couple, they would then - if their motive is truly wanting to avoid the impression that they do not support that type of activity - have to say no to a cake...

Okay, I am stumped. I have been speaking with this gentlemen for about 18 months. I mentioned this in passing on this board a little over a year ago. He states he is open minded (and I truly believe him) but he cannot reconcile the "God is love thing" with the observations he has made...

One thing I am left scratching my head over is the fact that many Liberals support Mrs. Obama's work to require that all meals served at school to be healthy, allowing only certain things be offered and outright banning the serving of several others, (all in the interest of what's best for our...

This actually ties in well with a difficult conversation I have been having with someone I have been sharing with off and on for over a year. That aside, the statement "...you must believe that God created some people for the sole purpose of being tortured in Hell for eternity" is not exactly...

There is intentional misdirection as well as outright lies in this article. Only those who are ill-informed or outright dishonest would buy this. "But they do not just “feel” walled off, they are literally so, unable to get out by land or sea or to bring necessary basic goods and medicine...

When I first became a Christian I was taught at the same time that the Rapture was real. Over time I did my own digging and came to the conclusion that that was not the case at all. But as of late, while I still feel that, there are one or two loose threads that I am still left pondering. I am...

"Conservatism without Christ is a cruel, empty, and irascible creature, bereft of love, joy, peace, and the eternal, invincible optimism that God is in control." -- This applies equally to Liberalism, as well.
