Was it necessary to repeal DADT?

Thats what they all do that are gay, CHOOSE the gay option !

But quite often people are decieved into sin, that is the oldest story in the book.

They can introduce them to the sin, and decieve them into believing it is harmless, and ensnare them that way.

I understand.

Long before we had a constitution, and in fact, long before we had a bible to pass around freely, Paul wrote something that I think was a monumental statement concerning this subject. He said in his letter to the church of Galatia, "The works of the flesh are obvious....".

That will always be true. The things that are not good for us will always be obvious. While I value the structure that has made me aware of my need for Christ, I am also confident that my God-given conscience, that makes the works of the flesh obvious, will flash the warning signs when I'm too close to the edge.

Dalmer was victim and in need of Christ - we all need him and guilt is blessing that drives us to Him. Yet the primary victim is the one being murdered and not the murderer.

No Jason ... seriously .... lets do it the biblical way ... we need to stone children for disobeying their parents ... capital punishment is of God ... and children need to know .... what biblical authority is.

What does Jefferson or Madison have on this????

Do it once on your block ... and that'll straighten all 'em out. They wouldn't dare to even lust in their hearts if you told them not to.

I'd also try to help her understand why well-meaning but unwise and poorly strategized Christians were outside the abortion clinic yelling "Baby-killer" at her.

Just a couple of weeks ago on the way to a hospital visit I passed a local Planned Parenthood Clinic. Several Christians were out with signs. It struck me that that is the face of Jesus we present to those who may be working in the clinic and those who may be coming in for a medical procedure that is both legally and medically approved.

Just the facts Sam are you teling me that when someone asks you to do something that has always been against your basic convictions, that you need to take time to CONSIDER IT?(his words) THAT IS A FARCE ! So someone asks me to get drunk ! and i have to take time to consider it, etc etc come on Sam anyone that does that is living a lie.

Novel enough ... or shall I ratchet up the shock and awe?

I'd hate to call you an apostolic legalist or UPCIer again.

You are very wrong. I would NEVER kill someone. I constantly find myself at odds with Calvinists because to them he's a hero, to me a murderer.

I simply Proverbs 14:34. Sin is a reproach to any people.

Either you are not reading my posts, or you are completely failing to understand my point of view.

Also, will you please show me my errors concerning Romans?
