I just don’t know how you do it. Your posting history reveals you are quite the pious one, except for when you are insulting your opponents for their lack of intelligence, which is most of the time. What I don’t understand about it is how you can labor so hard at a proper understanding of the covenants, yet you blissfully ignore the weightier matters of Christian life, such as loving one’s enemies, speaking truth in love, loving justice, and speaking with grace. As another here has already reminded you, Jesus specifically instructs us against calling one another fools. You decry war but you plant the seeds of war with your senseless insults. You revile Palin as somehow less than Christian for believing God still cares for Israel in their unbelief (see Romans 11), yet you resort to the markedly unchristian practice of using false accusation and slander to diminish her.
For example, her intelligence has been objectively verified and even admitted by her opponents. She was an honors student in high school, she was recently praised by one of her college professors as one the best student writers he ever taught, and her prowess as Alaska’s governor was put on display for all the world to see in those 24,000 emails recently released. My dad was a professional educator for over 40 years, and he worked with the very bright and the very dull and all the rest of us in between, and he would often tell me that one of the surest guides to true general intelligence was language capacity. Palin has it, and it is simply not honest to borrow untrue leftist slanders to the contrary as a means of diminishing her.
The “quitter” meme is also a false accusation, if somewhat more subtle. It is an implied attack on her character without a factual justification. My good friends here on FR too often respond to the charge by immediately listing the valid reasons for her resignation. But its really the premise that’s the problem. If you quit smoking, are you a quitter? Sure you are, and a good thing, too. Have you ever quit a job? More than once? Doesn’t that make you a quitter too? Or does it sound different when applied to you? Why? Because you no doubt had good reason to quit what you quit. Or not. But Palin isn’t allowed to show her reasons. You are, but she isn’t. You know what the Biblical word is for double standard? Hypocrisy. What does your version of the Bible teach about God’s opinion of hypocrites? Because in my version, it gets pretty ugly.
One more thought before I go. Our word Devil comes from the Greek word diabolos. You know what that means in English? To slander. Put that in your conservative good ol boy pipe and smoke on it for a while, if you catch my drift.
Wow! Beautiful post!
Thanks very much for alerting me to Springfield Reformer’s brilliant and most enlightening and beautiful post!
I’ll now save this thread, just to keep Springfield Reformer’s post!
Excellent post!

I’ll have an answer for you soon. Don’t go away. This is going to be good. God Bless America and Freedom!
....and yes, when people are short of intellectual power and pretend that they are so right I say so. I'm not politically correct like you. You don't like it? Tough shite. That doesn't make me wrong. You have to prove me wrong another way sensitive genius.
PALIN DOES NOT represent Christianity because her version which seems to be your version too will have no problems spilling American blood for Israel because she sees it as God's work. This is not Christianity nor is it America. There is no such thing as dual covenant PERIOD. Explain to me why this must be done. Lets not pretend.
I don't give a damn about Israel nor any other self centered theocracy! Tell me why I must? America is not a theocracy! Do you get that? Put this in stone. I care about America! America only! Israel is a religious state created for the sole purpose of a specific religion. If people think Israel needs to be expanded, exalted or worshiped by America in order for the second coming of Christ to take place they are crazy because this is what all this crap is all about.
