It's not about who is right or who is wrong for the sake of scoring personal points. It's about making sure that someone is not deliberately misleading people away from G-d. Rob Bell and this guy are doing exactly that, because they cannot plainly state their beliefs, and contrary to the author's stance, Salvation and G-d's Word are not something to tease people with. It's serious business.

She said she used John 5 as her context...did you miss it? Also, your sexism is more than evident. Please, go reconcile yourself before you goto the altar next time.

andyyax - Planning for retirement and learning to prepare a resume would be a sign of maturity however, and thus, "growing up." If people did start saving for retirement when they were still late teens, they would be millionaires by the time they are 40 even with the most modest of growth percentages on investments.

his point is quite clear, in that, you have a sitting judge in her own words stating that our religious views on homosexuality harm homosexuals. So just because I say it's wrong, this judge is opening a door to one day having the thought police arrest you for preaching such a thing. It's happened already in Canada. The fact that you resort to ad hominem attacks and drone on with your Christian hate laced post, and cannot see what he's talking about, i would argue, you are the one needing to grow up.less

"Overcome evil with good...and candy bars." What a pathetic response to a wholly demonic holiday. Does Greg Stier actually know the origins of Halloween? That it is a pagan holiday that the Catholic Church decided to merge in with All Saints Day to make Christianity more accepting to the pagans? Does he know that the pumpkin represents a damned soul?

"Overcome evil with good...and candy bars." What a pathetic response to a wholly demonic holiday. Does Greg Stier actually know the origins of Halloween? That it is a pagan holiday that the Catholic Church decided to merge in with All Saints Day to make Christianity more accepting to the pagans? Does he know that the pumpkin represents a damned soul? How about the masks? Does he know the story behind that?
