    Free will and foreknowledge

    My understanding is that we have free will.....we have control over our thoughts and actions. This naturally would extend to our faith or lack thereof. I also have an understanding that God is all knowing and with that, He also knew every decision we would ever make before we were ever born...

    sahm and housewives are dying out? or not?

    My wife is a SAHM at the moment. We are a Navy family and it is pretty common for a Navy wife to be a SAHM. My wife does have a Bachelors degree so being a SAHM will not be a permanent thing. Either way, I see being a SAHM as a honorable thing to do. Certainly nothing wrong with that and you...

    Seeing as how you are have not completed boot camp yet you should not say "us sailors"....some people may get offended by civilians referring to themselves in that light.

    Billionaire David Koch is self-described "social liberal"

    I always got the impression that Romney was more of a live and let live kind of guy in regards to social policies....unfortunately he was forced to be a social conservative to get the nomination. I feel he could have been a great candidate if the republican party would have let him.

    Billionaire David Koch is self-described "social liberal"

    I respect the fact that he places a bigger emphasis on fiscal matters over the social ones. I think that we as a country should worry more about fiscal, domestic and foreign policy and stop worry about whether or not gay people get married.

    It has been a while since I last posted on here. I am now in the Navy and we are facing our first deployment next year. Has anyone here ever served in the military and deployed or been the spouse of a deployed military member?

    Calvinism and the modern Presbyterian church

    Do you think God foreordained all of us to be sinners? Do we have any free will in our ability to attempt to reject sin?

    Why is Washington so male-dominated?

    Unfortunately...that person does not want to hold political office! How can you blame them? Has to be one of the most difficult and corruptible positions an individual can hold.

    Why is Washington so male-dominated?

    I would say it has a lot to do with interests.....how many women truly want to be put in those positions in the first place? I personally do not care whether I vote for a man or a woman...I care more about results....both men and women are prone to doing a good job or a bad job. Both are prone...

Often times women who seek abortions are characterized has lazy, irresponsible and just using it as a means of birth control...this video is going to reaffirm that view for many. I think the debate on abortion should shift from...
