Here is a statue that was torn down by the approval of the state of Virginia Jake Lahut wrote: The Robert E Lee statue that has represented Virginia in the U.S. Capitol for 111 years has been removed after a state commission decided that Lee was not a fitting symbol for the state.• A statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee was removed from the US Capitol on Monday. • A Virginia state commission decided that Lee should no longer represent the commonwealth in the capitol, and a provision in the recently-passed National Defense Authorization Act allowed for it to be removed. • Military bases named after Confederate leaders can also be renamed under the provision. • A statue of civil rights leader Barbara Johns, who at 16 years old led a student strike for equal education at a Virginia high school, is set to replace Lee. excerpt from,"Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee statue removed from the US Capitol"https://tinyurl.com/yb258c3f Now of course this is completely up to the state of Virginia, has a Nebraska and I couldn't even say yea or nay. I would say that he was a hero in the Mexican war of 1848 and if memory serves a commandant of West Point. But of course his betrayal of the Union besides being a slave own |

https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2021/january-february/bible-translation-devil-in-details.htmlOr... https://tinyurl.com/ydbgjvl9 This writer pointed out, these people have their work cut out for them. Interesting how he covered the controversy over the verse of, Isaiah 7:14, of the RSV. A young unmarried woman was synonymous with "virgin," if they were not a virgin they could have been stoned to death. |

"The Unitarian Controversy and Its Puritan Roots"https://tinyurl.com/jkhsosd It should be noted that both Presidents Adams we're Unitarian. A history from the Unitarians how they came to be from the Puritans Quite true, Chris GP, but they left a legacy of anti-Christianity. You should find the article in the Unitarian dictionary quite informative and accurate. The Puritans most certainly didn't want to be told by bishops or popes on how to behave--the local church was the final authority. I doubt that if any man-made institution doesn't finally fall into corruption. I mentioned this on another thread, "Firing Line | Neil Gorsuch | Season 2020 | PBS" https://www.pbs.org/video/neil-gorsuch-xrku7e/ It's around a 26 minute video. Justice Gorsuch was no doubt interested in doing this program in large part because he was plugging his book whose title is something like "You have a democracy if you can keep it" It seems to be easier said than done. |

Cameron Doody wrote: Our Protestant brethren have neither the pope nor the bishop – everyone makes his own choices. I told someone they could make the choice of becoming Protestant if you don’t like the Catholic Church, if this boat is too narrow”, Archbishop of Perugia Cardinal Gualtiero Bassetti told reporters in an event January 25 on the feast of St. Francis de Sales, the patron saint of journalists.“Are you not comfortable with the current pontiff? If someone does not like this pope, say it, because he is free to choose other ways”, Bassetti, who is also the President of the Italian Episcopal Conference, told the Francis critics. “Criticism is fine, but this destructive criticism is not”, the cardinal added, observing that there are too many Francis critics, “too many people speaking against the pope”. excerpt from,"Italian cardinal tells Francis critics to become Protestants if they don’t like Pope"https://tinyurl.com/y35dt42w |

I didn't know that's how they made the world better 400 years later Almost all those churches became Unitarian. Not surprising since the Puritans were proto-dominionists https://tinyurl.com/yd2k9jdj (Dominionism -- A Summary) |

Dr. Paul Harder wrote: "...fundamentalists shifted to a much more inward and individualized strategy, that of calling non-believers into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. There were at least two reasons for this. First, their recent setbacks had soured them on political action; their successes in passing anti-evolution legislation and Prohibition had proven to be only temporary. Second, their eschatology taught them that wickedness, crime, natural disasters, persecution of faithful Christians and political oppression would all increase before the return of Christ. Fundamentalists directed their energy toward revival because it seemed to them that real, lasting political reform was impossible.... ---""Heal Their Land": Evangelical Political Theology From the Great Awakening to the Moral Majority'https://tinyurl.com/qsvclox No gentlemen and lady I still subscribe to the above, (on page 85 of the dissertation) rather a succinct description of what dispensationalists should be practicing. I have no use for the anti-abortion positions being used as a stalking horse to cover up the old and still alive racist ideas of the Old Confederacy. so, I didn't go out banging on doors, or sorry to say, contributing to the Democratic party❗🛐 |

For a non-Catholic, though Christian, view of using aborted cell cultures from 60 years ago, I would suggest you read what this doctor had to say:
Gene Rudd, MD wrote: Does having your child vaccinated for measles, mumps, and rubella morally link you to an abortion performed 42 years ago? Some patients think so, but is this perspective reasonable? .... 2. Clarity of Moral Obligations -- In the United States there are no approved alternatives to the vaccines manufactured using these cell lines. To reject these vaccines without satisfactory alternatives would be to expose our families and society to unacceptable disease risks. When we compare our clear moral duty to care for our children to a much less certain moral duty to reject a vaccine because of potential complicity with abortion, the choice seems clear.... excerpt from, "Is Vaccination Complicit with Abortion?"https://tinyurl.com/y7adxkas The Moderna vaccine itself has no abortion products in it Correct, John for Jesus! Can you find an example where it done anybody any good? One example where it didn't do any good--- "Trump reveals he's taking hydroxychloroquine in effort to prevent coronavirus symptoms" https://tinyurl.com/y8lodxzc |
