I heard once, and maybe this is only folklore, that Ben Franklin used to cut out with a razor, Bible passages he didn't agree with.

It sounds like many are cutting out much of Romans 1.

And the question: Will you be waving the “kill all the Christians” flag when those who are bent on destroying Western civilization as we have known it have that as the only cause of theirs left?

I heard Jonah Goldberg talking about this topic with Bill Bennett on the radio this morning and that the left is never satisfied with a ‘victory’ it only makes them hungry for acomplishing the next destructive step: Poligamy, ployandry, beastiality, pedophilia and etc.

have nothing to do with the unfruitful actions that darkness produces. Instead, expose them for what they are. Ephesians 5:11

[clamper1797]

I unfriended ANYONE who covered their FB profile picture with the queer flag. Family and longtime friends included.

[rfreedom4u]

All very good questions.

This is what the Romans 1 world looks like..

That was Jefferson. He wanted to remove what he considered “Magic” but wound up with what he called “The Gospel of Jesus the Christ”

Actually, I find Jefferson to be the most fascinating of the founders because, depending on the period of his life, he can be on all sides of an issue until he has fully examined it.

5. Do you think Jesus would have been okay with homosexual behavior between consenting adults in a committed relationship?

I actually had a FB friend ..ask me WWJD ? So I told her.. He would call them sons of satan ......I have not heard back :)

Excellent post.

Number 30 is a thought provoking question in 2 ways theologically speaking. Not deep theological thoughts by any means, just interesting.

The first would be because Historically a couple that wanted to live together got married so they would not be "living in sin". So would that change for a homosexual couple?

Also #30 goes changes the promiscuity angle. If the very premise of Holy Matrimony is violated by the nature of homosexual marriage, then would infidelity really violate the "holy" marriage?

[Boogieman]

Those aren’t Christians. I have a feeling this is all part of the beginning of the separation of the wheat from the chaff.

[Boogieman]

I was on another board and libs were saying “Oh Jesus was silent about homosexuality, and Paul only had a minor opinion”. I replied “They’re all going to hell is a minor opinion?!?”

Jude 1:4 For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.

Matthew 15:8-9 "These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men."

They've hijacked the language ("queer","gay", "pride", "love", "equality") and various symbols ("rainbow") and various institutions (education, media, corporations, some churches) and now they've hijacked the law of the land. This will not end anytime soon. All because they know deep down inside that what they are doing is wrong and unnatural - and "taking approval" is the only way they can get it.

In the animal kingdom, there are many species which create the effect that they are much larger than they really are - they make loud noises, they puff themselves up - all to scare away any threat that comes near. The same very technique is being applied here...VERY successfully....

...left is never satisfied with a ‘victory’...

That is because Marxists build "from victory to victory"; ever forward, comrade.

PROCON: "I heard once, and maybe this is only folklore, that Ben Franklin used to cut out with a razor, Bible passages he didn't agree with."

You heard right, but it was Thomas Jefferson, not ol' Ben Franklin.
Some of our Founders were Deistic Christians, Masons and/or Unitarians, but they all understood the necessity for both religious freedom and good civic morals taught in church.

Info on Jefferson's Bible.

Oh all that Bible stuff....that’s all so, so, uhhh, ...yesterday. We need modern thinking for our advanced society of today. You don’t think people actually read all those verses about sin do you?

[ilgipper]

It’s about ‘love’. The rest of the Bible can be ignored. That’s the gist of the argument being made.
