Alright, since God is a homophobic bigot and condemns homosexuality for the abomination that it is He must surely be guilty of a "hate crime". So, Mr. Kameny, why don't you go ahead and slap the cuffs on Almighty God and haul Him off to jail? Silly little man. Foolish little man.
Google needs to talk with (or research) people who have been persecuted in the name of Islam. They'll tell them all they need to know. However, I'm sure Google would rather ignore the truth.
Find a school for your children that doesn't hate the Lord Jesus Christ and the Bible. I would, even if I had to move to another location. Such schools are doomed to failure.
God's Word commands spanking. This is mentioned many times in Proverbs alone. I trust God to know what He is talking about.
Allow me to illustrate. I once knew a family that had three sons. The first was disciplined by his parents very well. This included the usual spankings. The second son received very little in the way of discipline (spanking) and the third even less. The first son has done extremely well for himself. The second has been in prison for a long time. The third is dead, having lived a life of crime. All of these boys had the same chance to succeed and the same opportunities. The difference was in the discipline (spanking) or the lack thereof.
Spanking should be done only when necessary. It does not mean that you beat a child half to death. Spanking should be done in love and as a stern warning in order to prevent the destructive consequences of a foolish lifestyle.
Obey the Bible when it comes to raising children, not someone who has ideas opposed to it.
A thorough study of Mormonism will reveal that it is a religious form of science fiction. The reason people believe such incredible nonsense is because they want to. Satan is very clever.
The only thing I hate about sleeping is that I'm never awake to enjoy it.
Seriously, there was a time that I had great difficulty in getting a good night of sleep. I'm quite active both mentally and physically. This, in turn, carried over into the hours of the night and it kept me awake. I would become frustrated and finally mad at myself and thus get only a few hours (maybe 3 or 4) of sleep. Over the years I understood that sleep comes when I really need it. Some nights it may be 5 or 6 hours and other nights more. I suppose it all depends on my daily activities.
Sleep is very important for a productive day. Of course, too much sleep is just as bad as not enough. Find a good balance right for you. Don't get upset if you have a bad night. You will eventually make up for it. One other thing - stay away from sleep medication. Half a night of natural sleep is better than a full night of artificial sleep.
Remember, the book of Proverbs has much to say about the sleep our Lord wants to bless us with.
I suggest that all of these date-setters do the logical thing, if they are serious. Six months before the said "date" sell everything that you own, except the bare essentials. This includes your house. Take all of your savings out of the bank, etc. This includes your retirement funds. Now, take ALL of this money and send it to the mission field and godly, reliable missionaries because you're not going to need it anyway. Meanwhile, rent an inexpensive house or apartment to live in until the said "date" arrives. Logical? It sure is. If you are serious about it.
Another date setter. How many cults and even well-meaning Christians have set date after date? I've lost count. This is NOT where the Lord puts emphasis. Let's concern ourselves with getting out the Word of God as our Lord commanded.
I very much appreciate Tim Tebow's bold stand for the Lord and his testimony. Not only that, he is a tremendous athlete with obvious God-given abilities (just ask the teams he has played against). He has been an inspiration and a tremendous role model for many young people. May God bless him and his future in the NFL.
There were NO "original manuscripts" of the Bible for the Lord Jesus or the apostles to use. They were all copies. Very possibly they were copies of copies. The originals had long since ceased to exist. Doesn't really matter. God said He would preserve His Word and He has. Our Lord said in Matt. 4:4 that we should live by "every word" (that's EVERY word) of God's Word. Praise His name!
Mr. Obama needs to stop talking about things he knows absolutely nothing about. A person should always be familiar with the subject being discussed. In this case, the Bible.
God's Word says that a person unwilling to work should not eat. How about a sermon on that, Mr. Obama? It doesn't fit into your socialistic scheme but give it a try anyway.
The problem, Covehithe, is that we have leaders who are as stupid as they are ungodly.
There is no health care crisis in America. There IS a health crisis. People smoke, drink, eat like gluttons and never excercise. Obesity is at an all time high. So is laziness. This will ruin any nation.
It might also be said that many who claim they can't afford health insurance CAN afford cell phones, satellite/cable television, various forms of needless pleasures and luxuries, etc.
All in all, this is just another way that the crooked politicians can control us.
Good point, Steamroller. This is something kept quiet by those who want to make sodomy legal. There is no telling how many homosexuals have HIV and don't know it or don't care. They are spreading certain death like common crimminals.
Here's something else supporters of sodomy try to hide. Most homosexuals are assaulted and murdered by other homosexuals.
