show me in the bible where it says God loves small govenment. I cant' seem to find it.

Bashia Jesus didn't say anything about bestiality so do you think it's okay to have sex with animals?

While I do feel for these people and will be praying, to jump to the conclusion that this is be cause of global warming is truly ridiculous.

I applaud the nae and their stance on illegal immigrants. Norski, you quote much scripture and that's great. But let me quote one "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all soul and with all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself". That is our calling as Christians to loe all readically.

New creation, It does say you should be of good reputation. But is that before or after you become a follower of Christ. I am assuming these things occurred before he came to know Christ. I don't think you can hold those things against him. Otherwise none of us would qualify.

"Nothing in the health care package will reduce anybodys coverage." Actually you are incorrect. Most people believe that when all this shakes out the gov't will offer a very basic health insurance plan that any business or individual can buy into.

"Nothing in the health care package will reduce anybodys coverage."

Actually you are incorrect. Most people believe that when all this shakes out the gov't will offer a very basic health insurance plan that any business or individual can buy into. The insurance companies will be able to compete with this plan. Most businesses currently offer health insurance plans that are far better than the bare bones plan the gov't will offer. But, since the gov't plan is cheaper, most businesses will drop their better plans for whatever lesser plans the gov't or insurance companies offer. So there are millions of people who get health insurance coverage through businesses who will see their coverage drop.less

gguy, "believer and delight: I don't know why some people are gay. But I'm also not the one making it an issue, you are." What are you talking about.

where in the bible does it say that communism is bad and limited role of state is good?

what is worldy music?

Knight, Are you saying that it was wrong for Rosa Parks to sit in the front of the bus. Was it wrong for those who helped smuggle slaves from the south to the north. Both instances are of people who broke the law.

chaplainmichael, You are making an assumption that the people involved with this are believers. I agree with you and applaud the church for reaching out in love. But we can't expect people in society who are not Jesus followers to respond with the same love. Unfortnately most Christians don't respond with this kind of compassion, so how can we expect the world to.

I wonder if the author was as frustrated with the money wasted on an immoral war his Republican party dragged us into.

Do you think it was wrong for Rosa Parks to sit in the front of the bus?

barryickes, And what has capitalism done to achieve social justice?

I don't get this article either. I am a pastor who ministers in a lower income area of our town that is largely Hispanic. I have never met a muslim in this neighborhood. I'm not sure why it is my responsibilty to have a conversation with a muslim. For me to gain an understanding of a muslims faith would do nothing to help my ministry.

I don't get this article either. I am a pastor who ministers in a lower income area of our town that is largely Hispanic. I have never met a muslim in this neighborhood. I'm not sure why it is my responsibilty to have a conversation with a muslim. For me to gain an understanding of a muslims faith would do nothing to help my ministry. I am learning and growing through my relationships with Hispanics around me about their culture. I'm sure there are pastors out there who live in areas with larger muslim populations that this would benefit. But I'm sure there are many more leaders like myself who have little need for this.

As you would expect Full Gospel, I have learned much about the Catholic faith through my experiences with my hispanic neighbors. That is relevant to me.less

I think this is a great thing. If the Christian faith is as real and true as many of us believe, there should be no fear of discussion and debate in public forums. Europe for years has been closed to even having such debates, so it sounds like atheists maybe helping the cause.

That's too bad. They provide low cost groceries for lots of families.

So she deserves death threats? You're right, it is a responsibility issue. And we as Christians are responsible. Responsible to help the least of these. The bad decisions the mother made should have no bearing on how we should respond. We should be responding in love both to the mom and the children. I don't have any problem discussing the ethics of this and looking for solut...more

I don't have any problem discussing the ethics of this and looking for solutions, but we should still be reaching out in love.less

The lack of compassion is amazing to me. Do people honestly think that folks have children so they can live on welfare? I minister to the poor and I can assure this is not the case. There are a few examples, but most people I deal with just make stupid mistakes.

Why don't people who are so quick to judge people living on welfare have the same righteous indignation for all the Christians who are living in sin by driving around in their $50000 cars and living in their 5000 sq ft home hiding from the world in their little suburban gated community?less

How do you feel about billions and billions spent on an unjust war?
