NEW YORK, NY, October 18, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com) - This morning Chief Justice Dennis Jacobs issued a ruling striking down Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals voted against the measure 2-1, with Judge Chester Straub, a Clinton appointee, dissenting. Justice Jacobs deemed homosexuals a “politically powerless minority” and decided “DOMA’s classification of same-sex spouses was not substantially related to an important government interest. Accordingly, we hold that Section 3 of DOMA violates equal protection and is therefore unconstitutional.” Jacobs was appointed to the court by President George H.W. Bush. In his minority opi…

When did Jesus ascend into heaven and sprinkle the blood on the mercy seat? Scofield says that it was after His resurrection, which I also believe. (Probably why Jesus told Mary "Touch me not", because human hands would have polluted the untainted blood of Christ) Joh 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. he had not yet ascended. Then some suppose a contradiction in Matthew 28:9 where we read: Mat 28:9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held …

A local Baptist pastor wrote a letter to a local newspaper & it was published. He was calling for all Christians to come out of the democrat party & stop supporting it for it supports: 1. Homosexual marriages & such 2. Supports abortion 3. And taking God out of our country And gave verses why they should stop supporting such issues. he also stated if all Christians would come out of that party it might drop supporting those sins against God. That would be good thing to happen in local papers all across our nation.

Study: Most Churchgoers Don't Read Bible DailyStudy: Most Churchgoers Don't Read Bible Daily NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP) -- While the majority of churchgoers desire to honor Christ with their lives and even profess to think on biblical truths, a recent study found few actually engage in personal reading and study of the Scriptures. "Bible engagement" is one of the eight attributes of discipleship identified in the Transformational Discipleship study conducted by LifeWay Research. The study produced the Transformational Discipleship Assessment, which measures an individual's spiritual growth in each of these areas of development. The survey found 90 percent of churchgoers a…

I am reading through a series of interesting short articles which I just discovered on another discussion board. I am really enjoying the series and thought that perhaps some of my fellow literaure buffs who have batted around literary ideas with me in previous discussions on this board would be interested in reading it. The articles do a much better job than I ever could of articulating how I view the relationship and interaction of mythology and fairy stories with Christianity.

Is a Nuclear Deal With Iran Possible? By Patrick J. Buchanan Tuesday - October 9, 2012 In diplomacy, always leave your adversary an honorable avenue of retreat. Fifty years ago this October, to resolve a Cuban missile crisis that had brought us to the brink of nuclear war, JFK did that. He conveyed to Nikita Khrushchev, secretly, that if the Soviet Union pulled its nuclear missiles out of Cuba, the United States would soon after pull its Jupiter missiles out of Italy and Turkey. Is the United States willing to allow Iran an honorable avenue of retreat, if it halts enrichment of uranium to 20 percent and permits intrusive inspections of all its nuclear facilities? O…

A quote in our bulletin for tomorrow. Lord, if any have to die this day, let it be me, for I am ready. Thought I would add this little poem. I am only one, But still I am one. I cannot do everything, But still I can do something; And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

Stay out of the Syrian Maelstrom By Patrick J. Buchanan Friday - October 12, 2012 "In Syria, I will work ... to identify and organize those members of the opposition who share our values and ensure they obtain the arms they need to defeat Assad's tanks, helicopters and fighter jets." This commitment by Mitt Romney in his VMI address has thrilled the neocons as much as it has unsettled the realists in his camp. And the reasons for the latter's alarm are apparent. Last year, U.S. planes scrambled to defend Benghazi against the "tanks, helicopters and fighter jets" of Col. Gadhafi. Now we are investigating the murders of our ambassador and three Americans in the city…

I will get around to posting a photo eventually. This is my car, my wife has a Mitsubishi Delica, which is a 4x4 7 seater van. I enjoy 4wding, but just don't get any time to do it. (just thought I would post something a bit light. After all I don't only talk about deep issues in my lounge room.)

Baptists in Turkmenistan beaten & fined OSLO, Norway (BP) -- Authorities in Turkmenistan continue to crack down on religious freedom, violently raiding a Baptist church, beating an elderly woman and fining 11 Baptists for unregistered religious worship, according to Forum 18, a Norway-based religious freedom monitor. Police and government officials in the former Soviet satellite in Central Asia raided a meeting of Path of Faith Church in Dashoguz at the home of the Shirmedov family on Sept. 21, Forum 18 reported. Officials seized all the Christian literature they could find and dragged Begjan Shirmedov, a 77-year-old Baptist leader and the father of the family, ou…

Romney relies on shrinking pool of white male votes WASHINGTON (Reuters) - With the race between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama tightening, the Republican needs one group more than any other to drive him to the White House: white men. For Romney, the support of white male voters offers the likeliest path to the presidency, even as betting on white men is proving an increasingly risky proposition for Republicans. His reliance on that voter group becomes more acute as polls show him far behind with African-Americans, lagging badly among Hispanics, and at a disadvantage with women in many polls, despite overall poll numbers showing him essentially tied with Obama in recent…

When you are weak and hear Satan knock Turn your feet around and don’t stop to talk Although it’s not some great Biblical mystery or prophecy, outright; it is something we should never forget. What are some easily remembered scriptures for those times when (not if) Satan comes tempting us? Edited to capitalize a word in the title.

I hear the arguments that we should not vote because the men running are not Christians. Or, not Christians when held up beside the word of God. Also, that at least one candidate holds a very perverted view of Jesus Christ. Below is a list of past to current presidents that anyone on here could have possibly voted for (I doubt I needed to go back past Truman but there may be someone here who is over 89). Woodrow Wilson, 1913-1921 Warren Gamaliel Harding, 1921-1923 Calvin Coolidge, 1923-1929 Herbert Clark Hoover, 1929-1933 Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 1933-1945 Harry S. Truman, 1945-1953 Dwight David Eisenhower, 1953-1961 John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 1961-1963 Lyndon B…

Washington Post faith reporter asks, ‘Why is polygamy so problematic?’ WASHINGTON, D.C., October 10, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com) – As three states face ballot questions on whether to uphold the traditional definition of marriage between two members of the opposite sex, some in the national intelligentsia are looking forward to the next victory of the sexual revolution: polygamy. The faith writer at The Washington Post asked in a recent column, if one believes marriage should sanction any affectionate arrangement that makes its parties happy, “Why is polygamy so problematic?” John Witte Jr., a law professor and religion scholar Atlanta’s Emory University, has written in…

Busting the myth: Christians and divorce October 9, 2012 (Breakpoint.org) - Maybe you’ve seen the popular Discovery Channel show, “Mythbusters.” In it, a couple of hilarious special effects experts pit Hollywood and urban legends against scientific tests. Sometimes the myths turn out to be solid facts. But usually, the show’s hosts bust them (and set a lot of things on fire in the process). Well, it’s time to bust a favorite myth of our culture. If we’ve heard it once, we’ve heard it a thousand times: The divorce rate among Christians is basically the same as it is among non-Christians. As Glenn Stanton pointed out recently at The Gospel Coalition, we usually hear t…

Respect is a mutual thing; to earn it we must give it to some degree. This is what the Bible speaks of in the command “Be subject one to another” (1 peter 5: 5). Seven verses in the New Testament contain the word “submit” and each of them is to some sort of authority. These seven verses include wives to husbands (Eph. 5: 22~Col. 3:18); Ourselves to God (James 4: 7); to them that have rule over us (Heb. 13: 17); to every ordinance of man, (1 Peter 2: 13); and the younger are to submit to the elder (1 Peter 5: 5). Can you see the position here? The lesser submits to the greater in authority, it is not the other way around. I often teach at the county jail, and tell t…

I posted this quote sometime back, seems some really had negatives to say about it. I believe I found who made this quote & wanted to post it hoping to make some of you really give some deep thoughts about it. The quote seems to have come from Spurgeon. One thing about it, there's much truth in it. And this is where it seem to come from. "Who of God is made unto us wisdom." --1 Corinthians 1:30 Man's intellect seeks after rest, and by nature seeks it apart from the Lord Jesus Christ. Men of education are apt, even when converted, to look upon the simplicities of the cross of Christ with an eye too little reverent and loving. They are snared in the old net i…

Study finds rise in gay characters on network TV NEW YORK (AP) — The number of gay and bisexual characters on scripted broadcast network TV is at its highest-ever level in the season ahead, according to the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. The total on cable television is also going up. The 17th annual "Where We Are on TV" report, released Friday, found that 4.4 percent of actors appearing regularly on prime-time network drama and comedy series during the 2012-13 season will portray lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender characters. That is up from 2.9 percent in 2011, which saw a dip in what had been a growing annual trend. The study reviewed 97 scripted…

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. -

The church we're members of didn't have evening service, rather they had several small groups. Since the Wuhan Flu the church has stopped all small groups. On most Sunday evenings they have choir practice for a choir we NEVER use. It's been a royal mess since 2020.
