For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline. --2 Timothy 1:7 By that chapter and verse we present the following anti gay marriage scriptures ; “[God in the Law given to Moses] having forbidden all unlawful marriage, and all unseemly practice, and the union of women with women and men with men.” 3 Eusebius of Caesarea (260-341)man sins against nature when he goes against his generic nature, that is to say, his animal nature. Now, it is evident that, in accord with natural order, the union of the sexes among animals...

We have quickly reached Christmas time, the time God becomes man in the incarnation of Jesus Christ. Many theologians reference Romans 5:12-18 "Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ" in their homilies at Christmas service. In reference to Adam, Paul's "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned" - Paul describes original sin which we received through Adam's disobedience to God. In contrast, Paul's " For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more...

Just 364,682 Americans picked a health insurance plan through President Obama’s health care program between the Oct. 1 launch of the insurance exchanges and Nov. 30, the Department of Health and Human Services announced today. Though the pace of signups accelerated during November, as only 106,185 Americans had picked plans as of Nov. 2, the combined signups were still less than half the administration's target of 800,000 enrollments by the end of November. Adding a caveat, HHS noted that it is trying to correct a problem that may have resulted in some of the signups being counted twice, thus potentially...

The mission of Citizens Concerned with Human Life Mifflin-Juniata, Inc. is to secure protection for innocent human life from conception until natural death through effective education. And as “The Sentinel” is an excellent source of education, we try to emulate their fine educational thrust in the community. Our efforts are aimed at the community to have them understand what evils exist in the efforts of certain sections of society including government to control and eliminate human life. Such methods as abortion (murder), embryo stem cell research (more murder) euthanasia (more murder) and contraception (again more murder) are fostered by secular...

CV blogger Stephen White in response to the widely-discussed interview with Pope Francis published yesterday. Despite what the NY Times and others are reporting, our Holy Father did not change a single Catholic teaching. What Pope Francis seems to be proposing is that we start talking more about the why, not just the what. The why is not an argument. The why is a person, whom we believe gave His life out of love for the salvation of the world. What a humbling reminder. Our job is not simply to win arguments, elections, and pass good laws. These are good...

I want to comment on Jonathan Hayes' letter of Sept. 13: "Wants all to love all their neighbors as themselves" In good spirit you critique Mrs. Jane Brown's "Contends there is a fight between good and evil" letter of Sept. 10. Your statement of "...what you described was completely out of touch" leaves me thinking that there is no current "fight between good and evil going on." I'm sure you did not mean that. Of course good and evil have been part of our lives from the beginning. It is the reason for baptism to cleanse us from original sin....

We live in the middle of a war. The war of good and evil.We have our government military doing good in the world, local churches and synagogues and various social organizations doing good.

One key tax myth that drives much of the desire for redistribution is the notion that real household income is not growing for any group but the wealthiest Americans. The notion of income stagnation among the middle class, along with the sister myth asserting that the income distribution is increasingly inequitable, are used to argue against an economic model characterized by people generally keeping their earnings except a small portion paid to fund the core functions of government. The truth is that during the last 20 years, the American economy has continued to generate income growth and increasing ability to...

Laurel given to writer for measuring Supreme Court July 4, 2013 Lewistown Sentinel To the editor: I want to compliment Mr. Clyde Bailey for his well presented letter, "Supreme Court seems to disregard Constitution" of July 2. The Supreme Court has definitely turned political and is a far cry from what the founding fathers had in mind. The bad thing about the Supreme Court's decisions is that they are deciding on moral issues, issues that should be debated and voted on by the citizenry. An example of the moral issues decision was the Supreme Court abortion vote which was presented...

Sodom (Hebrew: {סְדוֹם}, Modern Sədom Tiberian Səḏôm, Greek Σόδομα Sódoma) and Gomorrah (Hebrew: {עֲמוֹרָה, Modern ʿAmora Tiberian Ġəmôrāh/ʿĂmôrāh, Greek Γόμοῤῥα Gómorrha) are cities mentioned in the Book of Genesis and later expounded upon throughout the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament and Deuterocanonical sources. According to the Torah, the kingdoms of Sodom and Gomorrah were allied with the cities of New York, Boston and Providence . These five cities, also known as the "cities of the plain," were situated on the Jordan river plain in the southern region of the land of Canaan. The Jordan river plain has been compared to...
