Texas ruled against the Confederate license plate. South Carolina & the Confederate flag. http://www.infoplease.com/spot/confederate4.html Of course the black people were against this. Atheist wanted to put a sign on public busses & the Central Arkansas Transit Authority line said no. They took it to court & won. Most Christians were against this. There is 3 examples, I'm sure there's a lot more of them out there Do Americans really want freedom? Do American really have freedom? Are do we Americas want only our idea of freedom? That is we want to be free to do as we please, yet restrict those whom we disagree with.

Return of the War Party? By Patrick J. Buchanan Tuesday - November 15, 2011 Is a vote for the Republican Party in 2012 a vote for war? Is a vote for Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich a vote for yet another unfunded war of choice, this time with a nation, Iran, three times as large and populous as Iraq? Mitt says that if elected he will move carriers into the Persian Gulf and "prepare for war." Newt is even more hawkish. America should continue "taking out" Iran's nuclear scientists -- i.e., assassinating them -- but military action will probably be needed. Newt is talking up uber-hawk John Bolton for secretary of state. Rick Santorum has already called for U.S.-Israe…

I've been doing a bit of research on psychopathy today - no particular reason, just got the subject stuck in my head. There's not really much out there that looks at the subject from a Biblical perspective. How does the idea of a psychopath - someone who seems to lack the ability to experience empathy, emotions, or to understand the consequences of his actions, and lacks this from a young age - fit with the Biblical explanation of sin and a God-given conscience? Is this 'condition' merely the outward demonstration of an extremely hardened/selfish heart, or is there something else going on there? Do y'all have any thoughts on this?

Overheard a missionary on winning muslims to Christ... "If real to you is winning a doctrinal dispute, you have missed the point (of evangelism)."

Every week millions of Americans decided whether or not to go to church. Every week millions of believers overseas the decision has been made. They will attend church despite the fact that they are putting their lives at risk just for attending a church service. They go to church, read their Bible, and pray all the while knowing that it could cause them to be imprisoned, beaten, tortured, raped, and murdered. 14,000 Christians are killed every year for doing the thing that most Americans take for granted. If you have a church that preaches the Bible. Don't take it for granted. If you are in a church that doesn't preach the Bible find one that does. Let this also be a remi…

My mother remember her part in the very first 2 minute silence when she was 6. She was out with her little sister, pushing iron wheeled dolls' prams along the cobbled street. Suddenly, everything & every one stopped. Horses, carts & people, everything - except 2 little girls & their noisy prams - & all the grown-ups saying shhhhhhh!

Since the "November Revolution" when the Communist Party took over our government and began its conversion to "GODvernment" the old United States of America is gone, replaced by a new entity: the United Socialist States of America. Here are some of the differences between these two countries. The USA was a Republic. The liberals who control the News Mafia, public schools and Hellywood so hated this form of government that they refused to admit it was our true, constitutional government. Therefore, they always referred to the USA as a "Democracy" even though it wasn't. In a Republic everyone is represented. In a Democracy only the majority rules. The form of government …

I know of some people who are involved in some aspects of Bill Gothard's ministry. Something of a missionary aspect in South America where I think they also do some teaching. We don't have much contact now which is why I'm asking questions here. I did try to look up information online but came away knowing no more than when I began. One website seemed to offer a list of problems with Gothard but when I read over what they said it sounded more like nit-picking. Another website seemed to have application differences with Gothard but didn't spell out any actual biblical wrongs. Another said those who are involved with Gothard are part of the "Gothard cult" but never went i…

Because we were all raised on the unrealistic world of television, all Americans have a truly unrealistic view of life. We have watched TV heroes get beaten to a pun and then stand up and win the battle they’re fighting. We have watched “the Good Guys” sleep out in the elements and awake refreshed. We have seen people faced with the possibility of sudden death and handle it coolly as though it were a daily occurrence. Sadly, we watch these antics and then superimpose ourselves into the part of the hero and end up with an “I can take anything, I’m indestructible” view of ourselves. Our movie heroes always handle imminent destruction with a smug, off-handed one-liner so we …

This is something I’ve always struggled with understanding: when did Satan fall? It’s easy to tell when Lucifer was created: Job 38:4-7, “Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 5) Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? 6) Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; 7) When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?” So the morning stars and the sons of God were there before Genesis 1:1, because they were singing and praising God as the Earth was created. So it makes sense tha…

Mailvox: is God on our side? JH wonders: "I have read your coloumn faithfully for years, and have come to admire your level-headed and logical approach to the problems you present. I have a question. Most social conservatives declare that life begins at conception, thus concluding that all abortions are murder. If you take this stand then you must conclude that America has the blood of 50 million innocent lives on her hands. What right do we have then to drop bombs on " ragheads and goat herders ' and the like if this is so, and how can we possibly think that God will bless our troops in foreign wars when we can't possibly be on HIS side?" It is so. And America has …

I read this article on The Baptist Pillar & wanted to share it with you. It really touches on the fact that those that have Jesus as Savior, its a fact, 'The Best is Yet to Come.' We have so much to look forward to yet so many of us live our life as if this is as good as it ever will be while storing up many earthly treasure.

While studying Job this thrilled my soul to read today, and I think it will for you too. What a wonderful Lord we have. So I'm working on a study about the Millennial Kingdom, and what it meant to people all throughout the Old Testament. To Adam and Eve, the promise in Gen. 3:15 meant that maybe they'd get back to the garden. To Enoch, well, he was the first man to preach about the Second Coming about 2,500 years before the first coming in Jude. I can't believe I made the mistake of overlooking Job! To him the promise of the Kingdom meant seeing his Redeemer and having a new body. Job 19:25-26, "For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter …

October 27, 2011 WILL SAME-SEX MARRIAGE LEAD TO LEGALIZED POLYGAMY? [Excerpts] Joe Darger and his three wives, Alina, Vicki and Valeri, are not seeking the right to marry, like same-sex couples in states throughout the country. The Utah foursome simply wants their polygamous marriage to be decriminalized. Darger and his wives said they are "independent fundamentalist Mormons" and that polygamy is accepted practice in their faith. As such, said husband Joe, polygamy "goes back five generations" in his family lineage. Joe Darger is legally wed to Alina. By also taking Vicki and V…

What do most of you folks use these days? A PC, a Laptop, tablet, phone or??? I've grown up with computers and have always had them in the home since about age 7 or so. I just repaired/rebuilt my motherboard and am getting my computer, a PC back up and running again. For portability and as a backup we have an HP laptop with a 17" screen and what I consider essential, the keypad on the side! Both machines are 6 years old now and I have no plans to replace them, though my wife think she does! hehehe That being said, what kind of phones do you folks use? I have an old Moto Razr somewhere around the house, haven't seen it in months. There is a hands-free phone bu…

My ex BIL was a militant IFB pastor for many years. He and my sister had five daughters, two sets of twins and a single birth, and he was strongly against divorced men in the pulpit or even serving in the church. To my mother and fathers face he was "respectful", but in actions in front of his eife and kids at home he was a Pharisee making himself out to be far better than he was. After my sister divorced him for extreme mental cruelty towards her and the girls, he started using the verse about letting the unbeliever depart. After a couple of years working at Lowes he started working with the youth of the church he was attending and remarried. He later became the youth pastor. A couple of years later he threw ALL of his beliefs out the window to justify becoming a pastor again. He now pastors a church in S. Georgia. He councils others concerning divorce and consistently tries to relieve himself of any responsibility in his own. It's sad how many who are staunchly anti divorced men in the pastorate are for it once it's come to their doorstep. -

Biblically, my hubs and I believe it is still wrong. As to a divorced man giving counseling, well - if he has learned from what brought about the divorce and has grown spiritually, I personally wouldn't have a problem with it. I don't think the Bible addresses it, either, so there's nothing we could say is unbiblical about it. Now, if the man is an unrepentant adulterer, then no way (and believe me, there are far too many unrepentant adulterers in pulpits and/or involved in ministries). -

As far as I remember, if a divorced man was a Christian, before coming to Christ or after, could not be a deacon, teacher, or preacher. Has this changed? and is it OK for divorce Preachers give marriage counseling classes to a family in need, of counseling. -

Haha, sounds like you’re doing all the hard work! If only you were a pastor, right? Then you could just preach, shake hands, and have all the free food show up. But for now, it looks like your wife is keeping you busy with all that car washing and laundry folding! 😄 -

I understand that. The real issue for me would be if someone added something to the Bible and claimed it as part of the Word of God. Anything else is just there for helps. For the record, I won't be buying a Trump Bible either.
