I bless and honor Rob Bell in his callings and convictions. Who am I to say any more than that?

Those unwilling to fight for liberty do not deserve it at all.

Her spiel, I thought was in opposition against mandatory vaccination. Especially if the drug has known complications...

I tend to be off on grammar from time to time, mathematics is where I shine, tho my writing is fluent for the most part. Hated grammar studies back in elementary school and paying for it now. Lol. She claimed to know someone who has a daughter that took the vaccine and in turn became mentally...

Bogus? So a female remaining celibate isn't enough? Or perhaps safer sex practices? Give me a break... Your itchy ears to bash bachmann are a nuisance. There is a legitimate concern before Bachmann ever took her stance. My fiance was going on about a year ago before this ever came to fruition...

The problem is having mandatory vaccines, especially if said vaccine does have serious side effects. My fiance's father is a doctor and even he mentioned that vaccine was rushed and put into production without thorough testing. Enough said? ... Freedom of choice dwindles away as the koolaide...

You should read up on Theosis.

You have a different scenario than the one previously discussed. You are uninsured thru being a victim of your circumstances whereas the other scenario was by his own choice. The system needs reform. Both with the citizens suing and with be pharmacy companies over charging. But its absolutely...

It's admirable your convictions, but do not impose them on others. Act on them in love and move on. Both parties are absolutely correct. It is the own man's fault that he failed to insure himself and took his chances and this became his lot. Have compassion and help but don't spit on others...

Passed how the constitution proclaims what liberty is and added to it the specifics of social morality and responsibility as law infringes separation of church and state. Leave it at the culture of the local area and churches, tabernacles, mosques, etc to decide and teach these things. Making...

I agreed with Paul. I wasn't among the many screaming yes. I do not believe in forcing tax payers to pay for this man's surgeory. I believe in helping people, but let it be by my liberty and freedom that I make this choice. Not social obligation and law, which infringes this right.

Considering liberty, it would be an infringement of my liberty to force me to pay for someone who wasn't being responsible. Which I'm not ok with. Expectation and forced morality does not equal good will.

I do agree with Paul that the hypothetical man took the risk and knew the risk and his result is the need of a life saving surgeory and he can't afford it. Since we have those scoffing at the republicans for saying let him die, will you be the one to step up and take his bill? That's what I...

Doesn't bother me. Admittedly at first the idea sounds like idolatry but I put that outside of myself to better understand. Can anyone produce icons, say maybe for their own prayer closet or home?

I think I can relate, I've been moved before to express both experience, emotion, reverence, and theology thru art. I can see the value in it. Tho I personally am not interested in kissing art, if I may :P

Are the realities the Saints of our day available to you and me? Does it have to be a distant reality, but one that may be true tomorrow or even in a minute? I ask, as alone I am just a man. I can do no good, even my best attempts given a long term of goodwill will end in vain and in turn...

Can't our own lives show and manifest all of these heavenly realities tho? Let the color being God's love flowing thru us in unity with His essences and faith? Shouldnt these be the things that confirm and make the faith real to outsiders? Much like being heavenly minded and the icons are more...

I'm understanding. Do you guys have "a first among equals" position established now? And I completely respect and see where you guys are coming from. Working thru reading on icons now. I get it but I don't. I can see the reason behind them. So, I guess, an icon with a saint is meant for in...

Ok so I'm reading the Orthodox Church by Timothy Ware. I'm confused about how the Orthodox consider the Pope. I know you deny his infallibility, but it seems to read that you guys honor him? Perhaps I'm reading this wrong? Further clarification?

That's very beautiful! The greatest of all shown, love. :)
