All she needed was food and fluids (and, of course, LOVE).

Her heart and lung systems (from what I was told)
were still fully and independently functional.

In other words she still had "the breath of life"
in her at the time she was starved/dehydrated.

Her secular benefactors seemed to define her life
in terms of the presence or absense of higher brain
cognitive functions, which they perceived (perhaps
conveniently!) as being not there any more.

In a weird and pathetic way, events like this actually
strengthen the idea of marriage for gay people in the
minds of the general public.

Who's doing the viewing of and cautioning of "Christians" here, and
to which "Christ" are they referring?

My best friend died from alcoholism, 20 years after being
encouraged to enjoy/imbibe such spirits by his college
buddies. I miss him VERY much, and--had I known his
weakness--would NEVER have drunk with him in the first
place.

That's an odd thing for a true Christian to be saying--unless
by "redemption" he means SANCTIFICATION.

True Christians already ARE redeemed, not by their own works
but by the perfect work of Christ; and most, if not all true
Christians have at least SOME degree of assurance (Rom 8:16).

I do think Weinstien and his people are on to something when they
complain about professing Christians who tend to overspiritualize
the war on terror (as I believe Boyken has) as well as the significance
of the modern nation of Israel in these "end times", as they are
perceived to be by many.

Really?

How can "Jesus" and "the Bible" get "good marks" from non-believers when
Christ himself said all the world will hate you (Christians) because it
hates me. John 15:18-19 John 7:7.

More likely is that non-believers, in this case, are suffering from the
same sentimentality that plagued the Pharasees, who decorated the tombs
of the same prophets who condemned their fathers--and would have similarly
condemned the Pharasees themselves--even as Jesus did.

As for being too "anti-homosexual", is this not rather because of the
tremendous ascendancy of this particular sin in our day and not that
"Christians" today have become more "judgemental"?

The reason Christ himself never preached (directly) against homosexuality is
that even the Pharasaic Israel of His day was not so corrupt as our present
generation in this and other such areas of sinfulness.

The more things that we do which the enemy hates and regards
as evil (and in this case--having women in combat and men's
roles--I think they're dead-on right), the more they will
desire and strive for our destruction.

Is any truely Godly person suprised that today we have far less
privacy than we did before we started worshipping it and doing
such nasty things in the name of it?

The difference is--and I wish more people would
realize this and spread the word--is that ALL of
true Christianity's warfare takes place on the
spiritual level, whereas at least some of true
islam's warfare is still sanctioned and carried-
out in the physical dimension.

This is why there is so much more news of Muslims
blowing up stuff rather than Christians blowing
up stuff.
