Funny how it only seems to be a 'dirtbag tactic' when it's TK not living up the standards he wants to force on everyone else. It would make sense if we understood the connection between the two posters. However, one remains incognito and therefore insulated from evidence discovery. We can only guess, based on the profession declaration "attorney." Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

It is not gay-bashing. The Ten Commandments and Romans 1 state that fornication and adultery are sinful, a lusting after the flesh. Same sex relations are an abomination. Sin is sin and can be forgiven. Being queer is no different than any other sin, just repent. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Why do christians pick out the few verses about gays in the OT but ignore all the other verses about stoning adulterers and selling their daughters into slavery and such? I follow the NT because it is the Scriptures of God's grace in these end times. See Romans 1 for this topic. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Depends. To those who choose to believe in it, it can be an undeniable revelatory experience. To those who do not believe in it, its religious nature is deniable. Powerfully well stated. I suppose. But it begs a couple questions: In which category do we label: - the guy who rings your doorbell uninvited at dinnertime to share his message of faith; and - the guy at dinner who gets pissed at Mr. Riger-dinger? Again, it's a matter of perspective: one's man's bearer-of-witness is another man's pain in the ass. The miracle of salvation requires faith and belief. Without acceptance of both factors there is nothing to deny. Correction, the gift of salvation is a much better term. If the person at my front door is a Christian I will receive a "witness in the spirit," as we say. At that point, if I'm available I will invite them in for a visit. If I am occupied with other business, such as eating, I will thank them for stopping by and refuse entry. Since we recognize each other by our faith, there will be no hard feelings with either party and the interaction will end. If the intruder is a Jehovah's Witness they will be denied continued interface and politely asked to leave. I use some key phrases from my lessons in spiritual warfare based on Scripture. They will comply. The dark spirits know Who Jesus is and they are subject to His Ordinance. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Made my day! While I oppose illegal imigration and am all in favor of a fence, the thought of land mines on the border is apalling.

I'm not Roman Catholic; I am Protestant Christian. The miracle of salvation is an undeniable revelatory experience. You know when you have entered the Kingdom of God and your name has been placed in the book of life. After that, yes, read the Holy Bible to determine God's will. After salvation you will have the desire to read His Word. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

George, you are terribly misinformed. Reference paragraph #1, the Holy Bible instructs no sex outside of marriage. Marriage is defined between a male and female. Outside of that, all else is permitted. see Hebrews 13:4. Second paragraph, reading the Holy Bible and going to church are not requirements for salvation through Jesus Christ of Nazareth, highly recommended but not required. Salvation is a relationship of love with God. Jesus is the gateway and the bridge. The Holy Spirit is the guide. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Are you really of the opinion that the USA should place land mines on our borders? You think it is funny? You consider yourself a good Christian? It is pretty creepy that while you profess to follow the teachings of Jesus, your personal beliefs as shown in this thread and others, are truly so far from His way. You will meet your maker and have to answer for the truth of who and how you are. Best of luck with that. I would expect that hypocrites are treated quite harshly when held to account. Religious Fundamentalism, a threat abroad, a threat at home. That sums it up quite nicely. The idea is hilarious in its absurdity. Relax pal.

The Truth About the Health Care Bills Posted August 12, 2009 Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected. To begin with, much of what has been said about the law and its implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the media are saying. The law does provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion services, and probably forced participation in abortions by members of the medical profession. The Bill will also eventually force private insurance companies out of business and put everyone into a government run system. All decisions about personal health care will ultimately be made by federal bureaucrats and most of them will not be health care professionals. Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and allocations of necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled. However, as scary as all of that is, it just scratches the surface. In fact, I have concluded that this legislation really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices. Instead it is a convenient cover for the most massive transfer of power to the Executive Branch of government that has ever occurred, or even been contemplated. If this law or a similar one is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively have been destroyed. The first thing to go will be the masterfully crafted balance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the U.S. Government. The Congress will be transferring to the Obama Administration authority in a number of different areas over the lives of the American people and the businesses they own. The irony is that the Congress doesn’t have any authority to legislate in most of those areas to begin with. I defy anyone to read the text of the U.S. Constitution and find any authority granted to the members of Congress to regulate health care. This legislation also provides for access by the appointees of the Obama administration of all of your personal healthcare information, your personal financial information, and the information of your employer, physician, and hospital. All of this is a direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution protecting against unreasonable searches and seizures. You can also forget about the right to privacy. That will have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4th Amendments may provide. If you decide not to have healthcare insurance or if you have private insurance that is not deemed “acceptable” to the “Health Choices Administrator” appointed by Obama there will be a tax imposed on you. It is called a “tax” instead of a fine because of the intent to avoid application of the due process clause of the 5th Amendment. However, that doesn’t work because since there is nothing in the law that allows you to contest or appeal the imposition of the tax, it is definitely depriving someone of property without the “due process of law. So, there are three of those pesky amendments that the far left hate so much out the original ten in the Bill of Rights that are effectively nullified by this law. It doesn’t stop there though. The 9th Amendment that provides: “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people;” The 10th Amendment states: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are preserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Under the provisions of this piece of Congressional handiwork neither the people nor the states are going to have any rights or powers at all in many areas that once were theirs to control. I could write many more pages about this legislation, but I think you get the idea. This is not about health care; it is about seizing power and limiting rights. Article 6 of the Constitution requires the members of both houses of Congress to “be bound by oath or affirmation” to support the Constitution. If I was a member of Congress I would not be able to vote for this legislation or anything like it without feeling I was violating that sacred oath or affirmation. If I voted for it anyway I would hope the American people would hold me accountable. For those who might doubt the nature of this threat I suggest they consult the source.

Tampa FL has four minarets atop the University of Tampa campus buildings. They have become part of the iconic symbols of the city along with pirates and cigars. The UT has produced some great conservative leaders in local business as well as government at all levels. In fact, some of those leaders become pirates in February and smoke cigars on a regular basis. The UT campus used to be The Tampa Bay Hotel developed by Henry B. Plant in 1891. In those days the Mideast represented camels and belly dancers. Thus the symbolism produced feelings of humor and titillation. Therefore, as long as your minarets support the national value system they should not present a problem. However, if they represent marks on the score board toward world domination they should not be allowed. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.
