Judging is fine as long as it's is righteous judgment. Jesus himself said as much. You make judgment calls everyday. Scripture makes it clear what is to be accepted and what is to be cast away.

Yes. I want to see any lie destroyed. If you are not truly convicted to not only defend your doctrine but to attack others then you are not trying to win the spiritual war. Paul said that any false doctrine should be torn down and instead have truth put in its' place.

MYTH “Israel’s policies in the territories have caused a humanitarian crisis for the Palestinians.” FACT It is important to remember that Israel offered to withdraw from 97 percent of the West Bank and 100 percent of Gaza, and it is the rejection of that proposal, coupled with incessant...

Because it is perfectly acceptable and within reason to deny the naturalization of what would effectively be "fifth column". Also if you think there is problems now imagine the violence if Israel annexed the west bank. These areas would be necessary in future negotiations to determine defensible...

MYTH “Israel is provocatively settling Jews in predominantly Arab towns, and has established so many facts on the ground territorial compromise is no longer possible.” FACT Altogether, built-up settlement area is less than two percent of the disputed territories. An estimated 80 percent of...

The “big lie” of Deir Yassin set the pattern for the disinformation war the Arabs have been waging against Israel ever since. “We said there was no rape [at Deir Yassin]. He said we have to say there was so the Arab armies will come to liberate us from the Jews.” “This was our biggest...

MYTH "The Palestinian Arabs had to flee to avoid being massacred as were the peaceful villagers in Deir Yassin." FACT The United Nations resolved that Jerusalem would be an international city apart from the Arab and Jewish states demarcated in the partition resolution. The 150,000 Jewish...

You know I wonder about this question. Did you not read the last part? Or are you suggesting you wish them to be open to abuse?

For the same reason you asked this question. Some people seem unable to comprehend simple straightforward language. So in other words you feel a law should be left open ended. If that is the case why bother with a law. If it can be interpreted to suit whatever purpose then it ceases to be a law.

Laws are meant to be interpreted by their original intent so as not to be abused by later generations. That is part of the reason the founding fathers spent so much time crafting their documents and left us with copious amounts of documentation so that future generations would be able to...

And yet there are those who don't understand that Congress means Congress, not school body, church group, etc. and law means law, not expression, suggestion, etc. Which is why we are constantly seeing ridiculous charges being trumped up against people for things that would not have been...

Perhaps. But it is not accurate to paint them with the broad brush of deism without qualifying that statement with some clarifying points.

This is a peripheral issue that was brought up during an evolving discussion. Obviously their personal beliefs would play a significant role in the way the shaped the laws of our nation.

But neither did he fit the definition of a deist either. He did believe in a God that intervened in man's affairs. Jefferson wasn't a Christian by the standards of his day either.

Perhaps I should clarify my position. I am not making the case that Franklin or Jefferson actually were Christian. I am merely showing that due to the fact that both believed in a God that did intervene in the affairs of man that by definition they were not deists. A deist is one who believes...

Why? Please explain how the situation she described is better. I am really interested in knowing what you have to say about it.

How about actually reflecting a deistic viewpoint. You have said, and I agree that Thomas Jefferson isn't a Christian just because he identified as one. I never said he was a Christian. I said he wasn't a deist. Likewise Franklin identifying as a deist doesn't make him one when his words and...

No problem. Simple mistake.:wave:

I don't have time to respond in full just yet but I was pointing out that despite what anyone claims Franklin did not reflect a deistic worldview given his admission to the belief in God's intervening hand in the Revolution. And I pointed out that however we might regard Jefferson he himself...
