    How is Iraq when you where there?

    Mike1Para, Saw your "handle" and knew you had to be ex-Para! I served in the U.S. Army in Europe (1987-88) and made friends with some squaddies in 10 Para during the Nijmegan March (September) for the yearly Fierdaagse im Nijmegan Marsch. We shared many a pint, sweat and toil from Eindhoven...

    Idealizing the past

    Civilization is always changing, and--short of an asteroid impact--it doesn't go in reverse I must disagree with your post. Civilizations (especially "modern Socialist" ones) have changed for the worse. ITEM: China went from being the bread basket of the pacific rim to a totalitarian state...

    Socialism - An Evil Concept

    Indeed he did. He viewed the road to Communism as part of an inevitable process that would happen without any need for effort at all - it would happen by itself. Sith, Thank you for responding to my post. Socialism is that aspect of semi-limited freedom before the high water mark of...

    The gay guy at work wears a rainbow pin.

    Treat him with respect, smile, share jokes and humor and let him see your Christian lifestyle. Do not become involved in debate, but if you must, stand for the Gospel of Christ. Let him know that you are always there to answer questions. A smile, a reassuring bump on the shoulder, or talking...

    Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die.

    The Bible states that alcohol is a beverage than can (and should) be enjoyed by Christians (Ecclesiastes 9:7) I am probably one of the last Conservative Christians who drinks hard liquor, wine and beer, though as I have gotten older, beer doesnt seem to agree with me. I do drink hard liquor...

    The "Plan" by G. Beck

    I've watched Glen Beck now for quite some time; he is witty, funny, but has a superb sense of where Socialism was born (Karl Marx), what it has accomplished (100,000,000 human beings exterminated and what the plans are for this country from those who currently are our leaders. I respect Mr...

    What is the Gospel?

    aza, Thank you for your post: What is The Gospel? Where, if anywhere, do you find Jesus defining it himself? The Gospel Message is: If you beleive in Jesus Christ, you will have life through his name; no matter who you are, what you have done, your past life, current life, your sex, age...

    Preparing for the Mission Field

    If you are preparing for the mission field, remember several things: Your life must be devoted *exclusively* to the Gospel Message, Christ and your family; You must understand and speak the native tongue. You should dress like the natives. If the natives wear a skirt made of leaves ... you...

    Socialism - An Evil Concept

    Socialism is motivated evil. Both Democrat and Republicans have bought into Socialism over the years (Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, now the new Health Care bill) and over the next two years our nation will undergo a fundamental change in the finance, automotive and healthcare industries...

    Church Tradition and the Protestant Reformation

    When analysing this it was fascinating to see how many of our rituals and traditions survived and things associated with Catholicism survived and evolved into today's practices. Many rituals survived, one of which, the Lord's Table is very similar to Holy Communion in the Roman and Anglican...

    Numbers behind inappropriate contentography

    The numbers behind inappropriate contentography are probably double (from whence that study came out) and I beleive the STD statistics will rise (alarmingly) due in part to inappropriate contentography. And there will probably be a "second wave" of AIDS breaking out in the next 5-10 years due to an alarming rise in sexual...

    Females playing male roles in Christian schools?

    My son is involved in a Christian School Play and he tells me that the major roles which are normally played by males are being played by females. I don't think there is a shortage of males available - even if there is a shortage, does this make it right?. I emailed the school administrator and...

    John MacArthur On Genuine Salvation

    Rev. McArthur is a wonderful teacher of the Word. We are blessed to have such a man teaching his congregants (and others) the breath of bible doctrine. However, I disagree with him over salvation. I beleive what Rev. McArthur presents is a "works" (or Roman Catholic) style of salvation in...

    Why are we percecuted and ridiculed?

    After spending some time on these forums I have paid quite some attention to the quotes or sayings that people use as their tag lines or signatures. I see to great peril that many who profess Christ use said forum to attack those who also profess Christ. Not only on forums, but in our daily...

    Christian War Fever

    War is a necessity for a nation that prizes Bible Doctrine, Christ and freedom ( Exodus 21:12; 15) and when a nation must got to war to destroy evil (Romans 3:10-18). The Christian is called to kill the enemy in combat; any Christian who is called to military service should understand that in...

    Why we Need Rich People

    The wealthy not only provide sustenance for the nation, but give money ( or used to ) to evangelistic organizations that spread the Gospel of Christ. Under both Republican and Democrat leadership, the wealthy are now taxed to such an extent ( I beleive I read that nearly 70% of the taxes are...
