Amen, brother Gunner.
C’mon, you’ve got to be kidding. The reason Romney lost is that conservatives didn’t vote for him (sadly).
You’re entitled to your beliefs as are everyone else.
[2Ch_7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
If this isn’t at the center of your thoughts and your life, then everything you do is in vain. It is God who is truly in control of our country, and if we want to fix things, it has to be through God directly,]
You are so very right, thank you.
John 12: 32
If I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people toward me.”
Thank you for your obedience.
Maybe you are. Shouldn't you thank such a person telling you?
We totally need a purity test for conservatism. I’ve heard about purity tests someplace before... way back in history....
What presidential candidate in recent history drew the most conservative votes?
“You’re entitled to your beliefs as are everyone else.”
Yes, but since I’m not a relativist, I don’t hold every belief as equally true or even worth respecting. In fact, I hold them all as lies in the presence of the one truth. You’ll have to get used to posting with people such as me. We’re quite fickle on truth matters.
Let me ask you how you propose to minister to anyone?
Do you only minister to those who are already saved?
22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
Is this saying I shouldn't have something that might tempt another?
It almost sounds like Buddhism, or Hinduism, where a person's value is based only on what they do for others.
Conservatives not voting for a liberal. What's this world coming to?
Since you’ve described yourself as “quite fickle on truth matters” that makes you a relativist and, as such, your thought mean nothing to me. Learn the language before you try to use it.
“Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Act 4:10-12)
I've always felt that a true conservative uses the Bible to tell himself what to do, and not what others should do.
Kindred's a messenger, not a whack job, and we'd do well to consider the message.
Not pickin' on you, gunny ... just replied at your post.
Does anyone think we'll get Norman Rockwell back by politics and voting?
Many of us are old enough to remember an America that we've had to admit ... is gone.
“Since you’ve described yourself as “quite fickle on truth matters” that makes you a relativist and, as such, your thought mean nothing to me. Learn the language before you try to use it.”
Oops, you’re right. I meant stubborn! Unchanging! Sticking to the truth! A brain fart. My error won’t change this reality though:
Joh_14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Your error speaks all I need to hear about your thought process.
Perhaps if you knew what the Bible said . . .
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation” (II Corinthians 5:18, 19).
“But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant” (I Corinthians 14:38)
Amen brother.
