Homosexuals, prostitutes, and transgendered people of Central America are about to receive another boost from the Obama administration, which is expanding an HIV program initially launched during the William J. Clinton presidency.
But chief among impediments to achieving U.S. policy goals in the region are “conservative gender norms related to sexuality and strong normative preference for heterosexuality,” a revised government planning document says.

Yes, things are going well and I was on my nook when I was commenting on TC's aunt and so I didn't hang around for any comments and there is a cut off on comments made. I did read the latest when I got back on and it was Dorcas and Ex smoker's.So I got on my computer and read all the comments about me and was shocked to say the least!! I was unaware that I was a stirrer and needed to stay and argue the point.I'm not sure what ex smoker meant about his comment because I am an ex smoker and I have warned other smokers of the dangers even my cousin who died of lung cancer as a result of smoking!!I really appreciate your help in all this. And you are so funny about it all and Cas thanks for your input also.Made me feel better. Aww, the Balm of Gilead applied by the hand of my Jesus through friends.
Its clear, of the two not yet born ONE was called to salvation.
Romans 9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth)
Romans 9:12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
Romans 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Romans 9:14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
Romans 9:15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
Did it really read like I accused you of calling me a liar?! My mistake and I sincerely apologize, I just stuck it at the end there, I was just trying to say hey I take this serious. My apologies. (Appreciate the comliment)
I pass by a lady I know on a sidewalk who had been very ill. I say to her, "Hi Mary...you look wonderful and I'm so glad that you're feeling so much better as well! Again, you look really great, Mary! Mary responds, "How dare you!" and slaps me in the face. Ha-ha. Boy, oh boy. I sure can be misunderstood at times...
Oh boy, Teen C, first of all...honest mistake about your being female as I thought it was mentioned in a post a while back. Okay, now, let's get to where I called you are a liar: immediately before the sentence that so offended you, I gave you a compliment, but not before even defending you against some things that have been said. So far, so good... After being so nice to you, you think I finished off my friendly post by calling you a liar? Let's see: I said, "I really thought he was pulling our legs with his age at first because of his wealth of knowledge." You need to read this several more times because it has nothing to do with you being a liar, but rather it WAS a compliment to your wealth of knowledge at such a young age.
I mistakingly thought you were female...so what. You accused me of calling you a liar when my post was filled with nothing but compliments. Nice.

I agree and this never even crossed my mind. I think that because she speaks with such knowledge, I tend to forget her age. Teen C is female, correct? Anyway I noticed in one of her comments: "My dad doesn't believe that anyone can know for certain they are saved. I'd like to hear more about this; the reason why, that is, and I agree that she should have her parents approval. I think Teen C is being misunderstood a bit. I have seen how some have come at her, and I can't say I disagree, but I view it all as zeal and the excitement of speaking about Christ with others, as opposed to some of which she's been accused.of. I really thought she was pulling our legs with her age at first because of her wealth of knowledge.

I had to look that term up as I wasn't familiar with it, but yes I agree.
Romans 6:1-2 "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
James 2:18 "Yet a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works."
Luke 14:27 "And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple."

Sir/Madam
Your posts are valued, but anyone can look through all his posts.
We require no further proof that he is an unapologetic and malicious Jesuit Troll.
So please don't clutter up any more of this thread with his nonsense posts. It's bad enough having to read his current post. But to have to read any more of his inane posts just adds to the pain.

Examples of SteveR's staunch defense of the 'Gospel'. One has to wonder what Gospel!

News Item: Will Rick Warren lead a Christian movement for gun...
GS Texas wrote: False prophets like Rick Warren are far more dangerous to society than guns in that his false teachings lead many to hell. [snip]
SteveR responds You are just plain cruel to attack Warren because he might lobby for gun control.[snip]. While Im not crazy about Saddlebacks doctrine, it is a CHRISTIAN Church. To say he is leading people to hell while preaching the Gospel is just hissing noise from a serpent
