P.S. the Bible doesn’t really talk about “weed,” but something tells me you might have had a little too much of it.
Still having trouble with those black words on the white page aren't we?
You are one of the reasons many Americans turn away from Christians. No one has ever claimed Judah's act was "endorsed" by God. I said "forgiven", a concept clearly alien to your thoughts.
wwait a minute here.
I thought the church was a place where sinners should go. If you tried to keep all sinners out of church, a church mouse would not even make the cut.
The church is also a place where believers read scripture. Read 1 Corinthians 5. Take it to heart.
Yadda yadda... You claim that no Conservative should be (gasp!) seen on a stage or associating himself with Bush, Ford or Rockefeller (or whatever the name of the day). But when it's Reagan, it's a different thing... sure.
Reagan was more pragmatic than you give him credit for, and yes Bush was his Veep to have a "moderate balance".
BTW if you are so outraged over the Iraq war... what to make of Iran Contra, the support for Saddam vs. Iran, the support of the Mujahedin and the withdrawal from Lebanon?
Politics is nasty. Foreign politics is downright ugly. It's reality. You want to twist and bent everything to fit your argument.
Reagan was a magnificent President, but the double standard you apply on him, only in order to defend your indefendable arguments, is ridiculous.
I think its probably a good thing she joined.
She now has a voice in where the party goes and maybe she can offset the the influences the “moderates” are asserting on the group - provided SHE is not so influenced.
Look, farmer, straw belongs in the back 40, not made into men to hurl mud at. Capisce?
Maybe you’ve just seen enough sickly zombie glad handing that you can’t imagine anything else happening with Sarah in the picture.
Let’s watch what happens. Sarah for all her visible or feared or imaginary faults is a cut above the country club party folks, and she does have Jesus Christ in her heart. The situation as we see it clearly needs more prayer than critique. Jesus Christ has overcome and Sarah has that overcoming power in her. Will she exercise it? My fervent prayer, which IMHO should be yours, is that she will, and bring many others, and in several senses the country, nearer to salvation in the process.

You have never read the Bible, else you’d be familiar with the concept of forgiving. BTW your obnoxious and arrogant attitude is doing Christianity a great disservice.
David’s act of adultery was punished, clearly, by God, even if spiritual forgiveness took place. David lost a child. Remember? Paul told Christians not to even eat with believers who were in gross sin. Do you have a problem with scripture itself, or does scripture describe a Godly reality that makes you uncomfortable?
Interestingly enough the nearest term in the New Testament is pharmakia, which is universally translated as “sorcery” but clearly had the connotation of transcendent drug experiences.
No, it is not the unforgivable sin.
To farmer everything is an unforgivable sin... except his own.
you are an ass. you know that.
There is a nice old man who lives across the street. He is in his 60s. He is an atheist. I have tried to witness to him once or twice over the last couple of years, but he has a very negative view of christianity.
Do you know why he has a negative view of christianity ?
PEOPLE LIKE YOU....
I see why Mahatma Gahndi said..
“I like your christ, but I don’t like your christians, they are so unlike your christ”
Let us pray for a best case situation, in which the Lord has a salutary effect upon them through Sarah, or through other circumstances, or both, and that Sarah does not ever idolize them.
He probably has a negative view of Christianity because he’s what Jesus called in the gospel of John a “son of the devil.” Christ was far more negative than any of his servants. He promised not to bring peace—but a sword. Like it or leave it alone. You can’t get around the injunctions given in Matthew 18 or 1 Corinthian 5 or James. The Bible clearly states that we are to forgive, but that we are also—where appropriate—to disfellowship.
I won’t let that stand. I never claimed here, or anywhere, to be without sin, but failing to tell God’s truth would only compound that sin—not mitigate it.
..but as you keep reminding us—that’s not the topic of this thread.
In practice, it just seems to make you a discernment-less carper.

Then stop bashing the Palin family and fellow Freepers for being not "perfectly godly" according to your (double) standards!
