  Note that in the very scripture you quote, Paul says that all that really matters is faith that worketh through love.  The Protestant lobby of the NIV translators pulled out all the political stops to get that verse changed to "acting."  You can't possibly be...

Jesus commanded baptism. Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Really disingenuous argument, Mr. Emerson. When Jesus tells you to do something, are you really going to tell Jesus, "Why do I have to do it when you...

Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law [of Moses (Paul has not said the law of good works;)] ye are fallen from grace. Our good works will follow us into our rest from our labors. That Sabbath rest for the people of God is for those who by...

Paul himself noted that not all speak in tongues. Predecedence still applies. Predence IS policy. Anecdote? Who gets to say what is anecdotal? You?! Jehovah's Witnesses?! Pelagians?! Precedence remains the stock in trade of the Protestant and Catholic Churches in applying the...

You're hedging. I repeat and rephrase my question: Why should the US be the only country which has to quit the UN in order to ignore it. If every nation which defied the UN quit the UN, the UN would be vacated.

Tossing out precedence (example,) are we? Really bad idea! Jesus' life is the model for all Christians. Following His example SETS POLICY. Paul commanded/exhorted us to emulate his EXAMPLE. Jettisoning example as a tool of Christian policy has long been at the top of Satan's talking...

A foundational principle of the UN is that all members get to participate whether they choose to comply with UN resolutions or not.

Until the UN has some sort of authority over the US, the US can freely sit on the security council and defy its wishes. that's what national sovreignty means. AND Why should the US be the only nation in the UN which must cowtow to the UN? Like France would really care what the UN...

No, stop it! (You're killing me. LOL) All international law is by treaty and if the US opts out of some provision of a treaty either by formal abrogation or by acting---it's legal. If someone doesn't like it, they can take it up with the world court. The US not the UN is sovereign over...

Though Americans' knowledge of foreign affairs leaves much to be desired, what I have observed from your disdain for American geo-political understanding comports with a general myopia which states that if your opinion differs from world opinion you are an ignorant American. The really...

Lovely!  France has convened a meeting of Security Council members to pre-empt US diplomatic efforts to build a coalition against Sadaam Hussein.  France is in a bind.  It wants to rule the world or something akin to world rule but has trouble keeping its farmers gainfully...

Answer:  The same thing which is wrong with most churches.  Ultimately God gives you a choice to follow His plan or your own plan.  Most churches have chosen their own plans:  their own innovations of God's plan for salvation; their own plan for church organization;&nbsp...

You'll have to explain yourself.

Jackson would be my vote after Jimmy Carter. Jackson and Clinton belong in the same category of populist presidencies but each surpassed Jimmy Carter by galactic distances.

To overturn these laws, the Supreme Court relies primarily upon the right of privacy which it invented in Roe v. Wade to legalize abortions. That right of privacy is now overturning state "morality" laws despite the clear statement in the Constitution that states have the right to regulate...

I am against it for fiscal reasons---it is cheaper to house a person in the Hilton Hotel for life, with all the amenities, than to sentence him to death. The appeals are unavoidable and they are VERY expensive.

The two monotheistic groups which reject the divinity of Jesus are battling each other over Palestine. If they were battling over Nigeria, this conflict would be a historical side show but both these groups claim what we call the "holy land." Reconciling the mutually exclusive needs of these...

God has forgiven many murders. Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is still the only unforgiveable sin.

God bless.

When I last attended a praise team worship, my seven year old shushed me for singing along. The music minister of that team candidly admitted that congregant participation has steadily and dramatically declined since they began the team worship. Seems to me musical clergies are just...
