Does the doctrine of a Church determine the social agenda within the purview of its members?

Probably in Spain, at the time of the Inquisition. Probably in Massachusetts in the 1650s to 1680s. Probably never in Virginia.

But enough of this! You are obviously committed to trying to damage the chances of Gorsuch being confirmed. Believing his confirmation one of the principal priorities of this decade, I am not going to cooperate with your malicious attacks on a important Conservative, by continuing this irrelevant "back & forth."

And with reference to your quotation from my Debate Handbook, in another thread, I do fully stand behind what I wrote in Chapter III on the Leftist war on freedom of religion. But you have not produced--in my opinion-one whit of credible evidence that the Judge is in any sense a participant in that attack.

Jefferson’s welfare system wasn’t some local “conservative” {uhh} “but progressive” ant farm - it was the temporal manifestation of providence exemplified in the FAITH of men who declared their LIVES, FORTUNES, AND SACRED HONOR.

 

The major difference between the Jefferson’s welfare system and the "conservative" {uhh} "but progressive" “culture” of today - is that UNLIKE GORSUCH’S HOMOSEXUAL "MARRIAGE" SUPPORTING SHE-WOLF “PASTOR” —  Jefferson’s contemporaries generally, (Despite Jefferson's adventures in Biblical cut and paste) actually, believed in Jesus’ teachings on social welfare, and social institutions - like Marriage.

 

John 1:1-5

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning.

3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understooda it.

NIV

Matt 19:4-6

4 "Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,'a 5 and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?b 6 So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

NIV

John 14:24

24 He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
