Surely pacifism is contrary to Scripture. After all David slayed Goliath with a weapon, perhaps not a gun, but a weapon nonetheless. There are a vast amount of other examples. There's even Luke 22:36.
Christopher, I'm not looking to argue, just wanted to clarify. I completely understand your reluctance. SA can get quite heated and easily make a person weary. Best of wishes.
In my old town the police department had to fire a bunch of cops for having inappropriate relationships in the car while on duty. I can understand why this office desires not to place himself in such a position. Let's not forget that recently a public official was to be thrown under the bus based on he said she said stuff.
Christopher, I too, am curious as to your thoughts.
One man said that fatherless homes have a hand in these disgusting acts. He was trying to hold men accountable. A liberal woman replied and told him that was so unfair to single mothers..... Not sure what they want.
*their reasoning for delaying family life is pure selfish. They can't do what they want when they want when there are other responsibilities to tend too- children, bills, etc. It's not economics. Silly ol Jim.
The Quiet Christian, let me introduce you to me. Married at 17, first baby at 17( total teen mom), second baby at 19 (still a teen mom)....11 years past and I'm still married and a sahm. It's definitely a case of but for the grace of God there go I. Had God not intervened I would no doubt be the woman you speak of. Sadly,I know very few women my age who are in a stable marriage serving the Lord, through motherhood if He so blessed her or through other means. Th
Rewriting books. Next step is burning books. History history history.
We're not far off in America with all our political correct nonsense. Schools have dropped To Kill a Mockingbird from their reading list because it's racist?? Huh? They should definitely read the book.
John, interesting that media has been able to convince the world that far right is equivalent to Nazis or Fascism. Far right=anyone that doesn't agree with the liberal agenda, i.e. Christians, conservatives, etc. The complete opposite of what Fascism and Nazis stand for. You need a better source than public documentaries made with an agenda, an article from wnd which is clearly a biased site, and Wikipedia which anyone can edit.
As for basic rights. Clearly one group thinks with the mindset of 1776 and the other doesn't. Freedom is biblical. Fighting for freedom is biblical.

*obvious that it was never about God, but about what profited Harris. I know I left a particular following, ironic enough the cult leader is in the News in Focus section, and after leaving I struggled with my beliefs, but, never my faith. It is and was solid. To renounce your faith during a struggle shows a lack of true conversion.
The thing with online preachers is that they're not held to the same standard of accountability; it's not possible. I can think of a popular one, here on sa, that had drama at his church due to his leading, yet had the world fooled, and still greatly so, through his online preaching.
