If you think a fetus becomes a human life at conception (as I do) than to be consistent, one cannot support abortion due to rape or incest considering 1) the fetus is not at fault for anything and 2) in most cases the rapist would not be executed.

Not at all. That Scripture isn't calling for blind obedience and doesn't prevent anyone from respectfully opposing and trying to change our abortion laws. It merely precludes Christians from engaging in violent and illegal actions (such as shooting abortion doctors) to prevent abortions.

I sing it as a patriotic song (I wish sometimes it was our national anthem) rather than as a hymn.

Sadly not yet but I've begun to read through the Bible book by book since June of this year.

The same is true among Korean Christians.

This makes sense if one is a conservative on some issues but not all. Of course there are some Democrats so conservative they ought to join the Republican Party (ie Mark Pryor).

No but those are a tiny amount of disaffected radicals and fanatics.

I consider myself a conservative liberal/Christian Democrat (in European terms) politically and that makes me end up supporting the democrats in the US. While I obviously support banning abortion for the vast majority of reasons, I generally am a Democrat on most other issues (although I'm...

BTW isn't the Missouri Synod also YEC in doctrine?

I'm not a socialist (or even a social democrat) but...

Out of all the government spending cuts under the Obama administration, you criticize the cutting of funding for the Blue Angels which are essentially government paid performers? Obama's trip to Africa on the other hand is part of any President's job of building international relations via...

For starters Senators Bob Casey and Joe Donelly are both pro-life while Governor Reagan signed a liberalized abortion law in 1968. In which school districts are such bans in effect? From my experience such a ban does not exist in any of the public schools I've attended. I agree...

I'm afraid I didn't read the whole thread (30+ pages), so I'd like to ask the OP: when your church said homosexuals are "born that way", do they in addition say that homosexual behaviour or at least homosexual lusts are not sinful (since at the least your church does seem to condemn homosexual...

There have been plenty of conservatives who have condoned legalized abortion and liberals who have opposed it. Which polices specifically? For example if one means the removal of teacher-led prayer in public schools, I believe Christians ought to be happy about it Suppose a Catholic teacher...
