Just a thought - I am reminded of the parable of the sower. The seed that fell in bad places didn't bring any harvest; metaphorically, they didn't persevere. Not sure if that makes sense.

This is the same name as a few years ago.

I've been away from the forum for years, not sure why I left, but that's not really important. I'd like to greet all my brothers and sisters - I'm Presbyterian - but I mean all Lutherans, Catholic, Orthodox, Nazarene, and so on... all of you I consider my brothers and sisters. Even though we...

I agree. I think that same sex marriage is just the most topical and probably the most radical change we've seen.

I don't believe we will see, at least in the short term, any harm to heterosexual marriage. The problems are long term - maybe longer than my lifetime, although the way things go these days, who knows what it will be like for marriage when my children take that step. I believe that Pope...

I didn't know that the thread was particularly about what the Catholic church teaches on marriage. I agree with its teaching on marriage.

But, for some strange reason, the PCA not PCUSA, is growing, and not shrinking - has active congregations, and is not infected with much of the recent cultural fads. Not that the culture is ignored, but those aspects of the culture which are contrary to Scripture are rejected. When a...

And what the agnostic philosophers called "god" is not the God of Abraham. Allah may claim this, but the picture presented is not one of mercy, or of giving - but of demanding submission.

If someday, my son or daughter, after watching one of those commercials, asks me "Daddy, what's ED?" or "Why is Bob smiling like that..." I'm afraid that even I will wig out. When I watch sports, and keep getting told about being how important it is to "ready for the moment", I begin to have...

Of course, it depends on what he wants to say... they pulled out the part where children would be encouraged to think up something they could do to "help President Obama..." But, I get the feeling that that's still exactly what the overall message will be... and it just isn't right. Didn't JFK...
