believer, if I am not mistaken these women were actually political in nature and not necessarily David's consumated wives. They were wives by politics or inheritance. Just as some of his wives were Saul's widows which He inherited for their protection and care.

I once had a Dr whose father died and left him responsible for the wives and by cultural standards he inherited wives. Although, I am well aware that he loved his wife and family here; He only provided monetarily for the village. He would go to the village (Africa) twice a year to help with crops and building and repairs and the like.

I agree, but by force who and what are you actually referring too? If you're talking about folks believing in the traditional definition of marriage trying to block the definition being redefined in states constitutions then it would appear they are not the forcers, but the defenders.

cf, my concern for Carrie is that she is now open to be targeted, maligned and well at her age hurt, be it physically and/or emotionally. All I was suggesting is that those that are working with her also need to protect her, reel her in when necessary and pick and choose the right opportunities for her.

believer, you expressed my concern for Miss Pajean very well. She is still a child in some sense although I hope and pray she continues on the path of righteousness and grows in scriptural maturity. Those that are lifting her up need to check their motives and do what is right by her.

I have to agree with viking, somewhat. President Obama only ended Bush's public prayer ceremony, which I will admit I am not comfortable with."We" really need to be very careful what information we are passing on. I am not so sure though that it was Bush's attempt at self promotion, though. IMHO.

Really? You think so? And he doesn't agree with gay marriage. So, you can like someone that doesn't agree with you.

when marriage is spoken about in the Bible, it is always in the context of a man and a woman. That is more proof than you have, which is nothing. You are the one that cannot produce proof and you know it.

Regardless, of scripture, biology is more than proof, it is fact. And you can twist that all you want, it doesn't make that anymore true, either.

This website seems to have more than its fair share. Some of us were not that promiscuous, didn't drink to excess, weren't unfaithful to our partners, didn't become addicted to drugs and still don't feel the need to beat others to death with the Bible. So many hear have that reformed smoker syndrome."

Mickey, just as you are passionate about your stand for homosexuality, which I think has touched your life, but may not be you, others are very passionate about taking a stand for something that affected their lives dramatically, be it substance abuse, infidelity, etc.

So you can't be sure homosexuality wasn't one of them. Glad you got that straight. No pun intended.

And: "The fact is the story of Sodom says NOTHING about homosexuality and you know it. You just WANT it to be about homosexuality."

It is you that wants the story of Sodom to be about anything other than homosexuality. Homosexuality was just a part of its destruction.

Mickey, vs 50 explains that because of the things listed in vs 49, they became haughty and committed abominations before GOd. What were the abominations being committed before God?

You may be partially right, but the title does read "Bush Day of Prayer Tradition...". It was Bush's tradition for the Day of Prayer that President Obama was ending not the Day of Prayer, but I agree that headlines can be deceiving at times. One must go alittle deeper to get the facts especially before repeating.

THe upside to that is discipline. Sure, lack of self-control is our society's biggest issue, but it's not just teens that suffer from it. We must practice discipline for so many different things, being a straight A student. Being the MVP of the team. Eating what is healthy for us. Waiting to have sex until married. We must practice discipline for an end result. Teaching our kids to practice discipline and be disciplined so that they can and do live lives worthly and healthly and happy is hardly niave, it's responsible and responsive. And is in fact effective for every child that does grow in discipline and carries that discipline into the rest of their lives which benefits them and carries into their own families someday. Many successful people were and are disciplined and self-controlled.

HI chicago, isn't that alittle extreme? Who is worshipping her? Certainly, not I, but the arguement is about who can and cannnot have a opinion?

For arguements sake, if she was not a Christian, but rather a model or a nude model for that matter, and spoke her opinion that marriage was between a man and a woman, would so many be bashing her, attempting to discredit her?

Thanks for clarifying, Mike. Although, I'd add that God is in every verse as well as all around us. We are meant to understand Him through His Word, the Bible and apply Him to our lives and live Him through our lives. Yeah, I know. :0)

Why is she not entitled to her opinion, again? Regardless of whether she had implants or posed nude or partially nude has no bearing on what her opinion on marriage is. Are "you" attacking her because of those things or because she is claiming to be a Christian?
