Never thought I'd see the day that Pastor Paisley would throw his political weight behind Catholic Republicans.Perhaps C.S. Lewis was right: “I believe that, in the present divided state of Christendom, those who are at the heart of each division are all closer to one another than those who are at the fringes." -C. S. Lewis 11-12 of Letters to an American Lady Jesus' high priestly prayer is coming to pass?: "May they be more perfectly one" (John 17). |

If we condemn those who get abortion wrong, we'd have to condemn the SBC: Southern Baptist Convention Resolutions on Abortion Resolution On Abortion, adopted at the SBC convention, June 1971: "Be it further RESOLVED, That we call upon Southern Baptists to work for legislation that will allow the possibility of abortion under such conditions as rape, incest, clear evidence of severe fetal deformity, and carefully ascertained evidence of the likelihood of damage to the emotional, mental, and physical health of the mother." Thankfully the SBC repented of this. |

Fertility or fidelity?If fertility isn't an issue, why are major world leaders paying cash-money for more babies?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_decline#National_efforts_to_reverse_declining_populations Married couples are designed by God to be naturally fruitful and multiply -- often exceeding a minivan's capacity. Because the Bible teaches "multiply" and showing one's children the way to Christ, don't fruitfulness and faith go hand-in-hand? When married Christians significantly limit their fertility (e.g., count the number of family-owned maxivans in the average church's parking lot on Sunday morning -- there are probably few to none), why would anyone be surprised to hear that Islam is surpassing Christianity in numbers? Fertility matters to God, perhaps it should also matter to us. |

Excellent! 'No Biblical Grounds for Divorce' Thank you Pastor Reaoch! Yes, the "exception clause" applies to the betrothal period. Yes, remarriage is only permitted after the death of a spouse otherwise an adulterous relationship occurs. As you said, "Only God can separate a marriage." If a Christian man's first wife is still living but he has civilly married another woman: (1.) Isn't he still married to his first wife in Christ? (2.) Isn't his second marriage null-and-void because their relationship is scandalous and adulterous? (3.) Mustn't he leave (civilly divorce) the 2nd woman and return (civilly marry) to the 1st or remain single? |

Front-and-Center Performers? Why should we throw reverence overboard to get front-and-center performers? Our Lord's Day worship service includes confession, prayer, kneeling, preaching, communion and one song (a capella) before going out. It wasn't primarily about the music in the Upper Room. It's not primarily about the music for us. Although hearing music is important, seeing the performers front-and-center is not regardless of genre. |

Why is Confession to a Pastor Biblical?The main biblical support for Lutheran and Catholic practice of confession to a pastor is found in Jesus’ statement to Peter, “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven” (Mt. 16:19). The Catholic Church states that Jesus was telling Peter, and through him the Pope, “whomever you exclude from your communion, will be excluded from communion with God; whomever you receive anew into your communion, God will welcome back into his” (Catechism, 1445). Since Lutherans and Catholics understand Jesus' words literally, why are they in a "false" church? For those sins committed against another who you can't locate or who has died, how do you *deliberately* confess them to God? Perhaps many Evangelicals, for example, try to confess them as they drift off to sleep at night. Because Heaven and Hell weigh in the balance, perhaps Jesus desired us to be more deliberate with confession and absolution. Therefore, perhaps deliberate and regular confession to a pastor (not just via a phone/txt) is a good, biblical and safe idea. |

Why Was SB0136 Dropped?Researcher and author, Dr. Eric Kaufmann, a secular liberal scholar of politics at the University of London, has written the following soon-to-be-released significant book: “Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth?” Which religions will survive?: (1.) Old Order Amish, (2.) Quiverfull Evangelical Movement, (3.) Traditional Latin Mass Catholics, (4.) American Mormons, (5.) Hasidic Jews and (6.) Muslims. In the final analysis, which of these religions were protesting in Springfield, IL? Don't most homeschoolers have the courage to obey God, be fruitful and multiply? Isn't this why they were able to marshal 4,000 on a Tuesday morning? Aren't there blessings when one obeys Christ? |

WARNING: Remarriage After Marriage => Hell? Thank you Dr. Waite. Most Bible Passages on Divorce and Remarriage Bible are clear (e.g., Luke 16, Mark 10, I Cor 7): NO Remarriage is permitted after divorce. However, don't two NT passages (e.g., Matthew 5 & 19) permit Remarriage but not in the modern context? Are fornication or desertion grounds for Remarriage?:
(1.) YES. During the ancient Betrothal (i.e., modern engagement) Period = Divorce and Remarriage permitted. (2.) NO. After the Wedding and Sexual Consummation = Adultery. Thus, why are there so many unbiblical views hosted on SermonAudio.com? Aren't most of these sermons allowing Christians to commit Adultery yet the Bible is clear: "[Adulterers] shall NOT inherit the Kingdom of God" (I Cor 6:9)? Won't Adulterers burn in Hell? Pastors be warned: "Whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required." (Luke 12:48) |
