Impressive. I’d heard the name, but never knew the history. Thanks.

I’m afraid you’re right.

Not all Lutherans are ELCA. There are still thousands of confessional Lutherans around including the LCMS, WELS? LCMC and others

The IRS can’t take what we’re trying to save but they can surely make a Christian lose it. “The government made me do it” won’t be an acceptable excuse for bowing to the whims of Baal. Or at least it never has been.

I fear that the line never will be drawn. There seem to be plenty of Christians out there who will deny the facts before their eyes all the way to their own extermination.

Stop funding the devil?

Pull the plug on cable tv
Patronize local Christian businesses instead of the pro gay conglomerates

To: wagglebee; All

Patriots, please bear in mind that if it weren’t for the ill-conceived 17th Amendment (17A), state lawmakers foolishly giving up their voices in Congress by ratifying that amendment, that there would probably be all different faces on the Supreme Court at this time who would probably clarify the following about the constitutionality of gay marriage.

Pro-gay, PC interpretations of the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause aside, the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect gay marriage.

Also, the Constitution’s silence about marriage means that it is uniquely a state-power issue, no business of the feds.

So despite what pro-gay activist justice probably want low-information citizens to think about the constitutionality of gay marriege, the states are actually free to make laws which prohibit constitutionally unprotected gay marriage, as long as such laws don’t also unreasonably abridge constitutionally enumerated rights.

Getting back to 17A, if that amendment had never been ratified then state soveregnty-respecting justices would probably not only be deciding the issue, but patriots would be much less concerned that pro-gay activist justices would try to use the case as a lever to establish gay rights outside the framework of the Constitution to win votes for RINOs and Democrats.

The 17th Amendment needs to disappear.

MARCH NOW....

Absolutely...and protest ROE while we are at it. All Christians should be quaking in their Sunday’s finest shoes at the thought of the Son of Man letting loose the wrath of God because of child sacrifice.

Thanks for the correction although a bit discouraging; I have of late been trying to be more heedful to spelling, grammar and punctuation; as improper use tends to negate the entire comment or at the least diminish the impact, an apt excuse I guess since I did have to look it up before being convinced I had it wrong.

Internment: the act of confining someone in a prison (or as if in a prison)

When it comes to written communications; an effective Freeper must at all times be studious and attentive; one may seem to get away with being less here or there but eventually “be sure your sins will find you out”! :)

Don’t be discouraged. It’s a common confusion. And it is an amusing one. ;p

Yesterday, I corrected my son at the dinner table, “It’s funnest not most fun.” Doh! So embarrassing. I’m an English freak. My only defense is that there are too many rednecks in my family. So the proper usage seemed odd to my ears at first. Heh, heh.

FRegards
