first Pat, now Jimmy PING!
Although I don’t personally care if gay folks get civilly hitched, the Bible seems to have Other Ideas (see Leviticus, Romans, etc.).
And if Jimmy’s “edition” of the Bible excises those prohibitions, I wonder if it also will get rid of these two verses near the end of the Revelation to John:
[18] For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
[19] And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Nor did He speak in favor of Homosexuality. The rest of Scripture is quite clear, Carter is clearly wrong.
Why would I want spiritual guidance from any pol, Dem or Republican?
As Creator of the universe, Jesus did not have to speak about marriage. He already had when created it between a man and a woman.
Also, I can’t believe Carter is an “Evangelical” when I’m on the Pope’s side against him.
Carter was as bad of a Christian as he was as a president. He continually lied about almost everything. Abortion increased dramatically during his presidency and he helped to promote it.
He helped to spread Communism and the oppression of Christians throughout the world. He helped put brutal dictators into power. He helped to spread evil throughout the world.
Now he wants to be a bible salesman.
Mr. Carter, apparently, skips over Leviticus and Romans.
OMG.
And who decides where the fallibility is?
Christ most certainly condemned homosexuality. In both Matthew and Mark he condemns "pornea" which is the greek word Jews used for any form of sex which is not permitted under Jewish law. This certainly included homosexuality.
Gageth me. And what a trend this’ll start...
That is about the strangest thing I've ever heard.
The Christian treatment of women (”In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church—for we are members of his body. “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” is in direct OPPOSITION to what islamists do to women.
When Christians go to Islamic countries like Afghanistan and certain African countries to open schools that women may go to, the schools get bombed. There's no relationship except an inverse one.
Damn, why can’t that dried-up old attention whore go room temp already?????
STFU, Carter.
Liberals like Carter are amazing: To them, God agrees with all of their political opinions.
What a coincidence!
The simple truth of the matter is, Jesus didn’t have to say ONE word about homosexuality, or anything to warn us about homosexuality, at the time Jesus walked among men homosexuality was a capital crime punishable by death. Common knowledge to everyone of that era and common sense to everyone of this era that cares enough about the TRUTH to seek it honestly.
Can you show us in the Bible where Christ was a homosexuality advocate? (NO)
Christ said... Mark 10:6
But from the beginning of creation he [God] made them male and female. 10:7 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother, 10:8 and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 10:9 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
Nuff said..
This is yet another reason to boycoot the NIV organization... whatever they call themselves now....
The Bible is so clear on homosexuality, I’ve always wondered how people who call themselves Christian can be in favor of gay marriage, how they can make that leap. Many times on Facebook, I’ll see somebody post some preachy image about how gay marriage is a right and anyone who disagrees is a horrible, hateful bigot...then in their next post, they post a prayer thread or something about God! It just amazes me. I guess they probably justify it in the same way Carter does.
I also find it interesting that Carter would talk about women’s rights. Years ago I read his wife’s autobiography. He was extremely inconsiderate toward her, expecting her to be submissive. There’s one part where he insists they move to a new home, even though Mrs. Carter opposed the move and was heartbroken over leaving her old home and loved ones. In the book she talks about the drive to the new home. She sobs in misery the whole time, while Jimmy cheerfully sings and whistles, totally oblivious or uncaring about his wife’s distress. Insisting on the move was one thing, but singing and grinning and whistling while she’s obviously heartbroken? That scene in the book has stuck with me all these years, what an absolute ass he was.
so jimmy is still toiling hard in the serpent’s vinyard. no surprise. he is certainly a loyal soldier for the evil one.
this is a sin of pride and idolatry so great, if true, that he must high in the circles of corruption.
carter is more evidence that the political power elite (both parties) has so clearly been working for evil and has been for many decades. and that the Lord is allowing them to destroy us as a nation. the Lord is teaching and testing.
strangely the evil behavior of our politicians (e.g., romney, reid, pelosi, obama, boehner, cantor, etc) is a comfort as i realize i have no control, other than to practice virtue as an individual conservative. to continue to my job for my family. to do the right thing. to advance Liberty whenever and in whatever small way i can and let His will be done.
I just want to check on something that gets overlooked quite a bit:
1. If one man shoots his genetic material into another man’s rectum, gestation still does not occur.
and
2. If one woman bumps her genetals against another woman’s genetalia, or anything other than another man’s penis for that matter, no gestation occurs.
Are this two observations still operative as facts? Biblically speaking, how does Jimmy Peanut see this as fitting into God’s plan? That may be the wrong question.
How do these observation fit into Jimmy Carter’s plan, given that Jimmy’s written himself a new Bible?
I’ll just stick with my King James Version, thank you.
Is Carter still alive? How old is that old coot?
Heretic.
"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life." (John 6:63)
"He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from dead unto life. (John 5:24)
It's the words, not the basic principles.
