The city of Austin is the small blue blip in the sea of red that we call Texas. If we could seal our border from all the immigrants, not Mexico but California, then Austin would be a much better place.
If, as a parent, you relinquish your duty to educate your kids then you also relinquish the right to discipline them during that time. There has to be some sort of authority. So, I think it is appropriate that they bring spanking back to schools. I homeschool my kids so spanking was never removed to begin with.
Mike don't bother Jim with the little details. Ignorance is bliss! It much easier to never answer any critic head on and instead try to turn the discussion to unrelated matters, right Jim?
KJVONLY I wish I could sit down with you and actually discuss this. I think that when you hold to your own pet theory of eschatology as dogma then you are making a mistake. You would do well not to confuse rightly dividing the word with saying that your interpretation of end times is THE way that it is going to go down. The historical premillennial position held by the church was not the Pre trib rapture position. Essentially you are saying that many centuries of Godly men are not rightly dividing the Word. Could I not make the same statement to you? On top of that I have probably been studying this issue longer than you have been alive, which is not me saying that I have got it all figured out, but rather me attempting to tell you that as you mature in the faith it is quite possible that you will come to a different understanding than you have now.
KJVonly I assure you my rejection of the Pre-trib rapture has nothing to do with my ability to read and understand the KJV. I have come to that opinion through a thorough study of the Scriptures both Old and New Testaments. I'm not an Arminian nor do I think we can lose our salvation. The difference between you and I is that I am not a dispensationalist. I don't think there are two separate peoples of God nor do I think there are two separate paths to salvation.
You guys really amaze me. Between the irrational KJV only guys and Jim's anti KJV irrationality, you guys can turn any thread, no matter the subject, into a rant. Why don't you all just be settled in your own minds and agree to disagree.
James from LA Remember that he voluntarily entered said viper pit. He was there to proclaim the truth of the gospel right? Nope he was there to promote his new book, "Gnosticism light for Dummies"
Love thy neighbor does the company you work for call out the sin of all its customers? I think from the restaurant part of their business it really is best to just sell chicken. The win shape foundation should however stand their ground and call sin what it is, which they do in fact do.
Winshape has come out and clearly stated that none of their giving has changed. Seems this was a ploy by the left to make all this nonsense look like they won some great victory.
If you are only out to make sure you can fill your stadium and sell books then you are never going say anything that might be offensive. I wish this man were not even called a Christian. He is spineless and, like crissy said, he is deceived. Or worse he is a deceiver.
Below the surface, Have you been smoking crack? I can't believe you are putting the blame for all the deaths on the backs of the cartoonists and film makers. Where is the responsibility of those satanic masses of Muslims that rampage and destroy over something so stupid? By your logic, gun manufacturers are guilty of every death because they produced the implement that was misused, car makers are guilty because they make cars that they know will exceed the speed limit, and cooks are guilty because they know that what they are cooking is not healthy if you eat too much. You are being rediculous and worse, you are empowering more of the same behavior from the Muslims. Just like a spoiled rotten child who throws a tantrum to get their own way, you would have us give in to their threats. It's cowardice.
