Commander wrote: President Lincoln did not start his illegal war against southern states to free the slaves. But wasn't slavery the key issue that drove the southern states to secede? |

Neil wrote: So it really was about freedom - to enslave others, that is. BTW, Frederick Douglass mentioned that his "Christian" masters were the most cruel and brutal. Thanks Neil, I had always thought that the reason for the southern states seceding from the United States was on the issue of slavery. |

ENGINEER wrote: The South wanted out for many of the same reasons (liberty,freedom) that the American Colonies wanted out of union with Britain in 1776. Northerners celebrate the Revolutionary war, and rarely think of the irony that the North was similar to Great Britain in the 1860 Civil War and the south in the place of the colonies. Of course, in God's Sovereignty, sometimes an Assyria or Rome is used to punish a nation, and NO nation is without its national sins, so the North can easily make a case of southern sins. Complaining about it now is just whistling Dixie... Thank you for answering my question Engineer. |

enough already wrote: Curious, I am not a Mormon; God has humbled me, brought me low, and made me see my need for repentance, I have been reconciled to God by His grace, and the shed blood of Christ; I am born again into the family of God...did you read the verse from Mark 5:19,20? It is a natural response, when God has humbled a heart and granted the most precious gift one could ever receive, eternal life, we cannot help but tell others. Why is it so hard for you to see the glory the Father receives when someone tells what Christ has done for them??!! Perhaps you've missed my point. I know you are not a Mormon. I'm just not sure why you keep insisting that GG give a testimony of sorts. All I was saying is that part of Mormon evangelism is testimony to what God has done for them and how this supposed to convince one of the truth of their position. I'm just not sure what you want him to do or admit, and how that will prove your point. |

enough already wrote: If you were truly born again, your heart would cry out with joy, and you would scream from the rooftops what Christ has done for you. "Turn away from all you offenses, then sin will not be your downfall. Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a NEW heart and a NEW spirit". Ezekiel 18:30,31. Don't Mormons claim the same thing? After all, when they come to the door, they always ask that kind of question. "Do you think your religion has helped you become a better person?" So, any answer GG gives will never make you happy or satisfied. |

Why not Tony..... It seems to me the U.S. is just 'anything goes' anyway. And with all the false teaching and so called preachers, hey, they'll think he's great! He'll just blend right in with all the other garbage. You know, just like Obama and the Sermon on the Mount. So this shouldn't suprise us a bit! |
