"Let he who is without this sin cast the first stone."

I looked in two bibles and did a net search. I could not find any reference to that statement with the word "this" in it.

You Chirstians really do confuse me. You tell me the Bible is the word of god. You tell me it is the literal word of god. You tell me nothing has been lost in translation because god is watching. THEN

You tell me a common biblical phrase has been translated wrong.

I really am truely confused.

"Clinton may have violated his marriage vows in the White House but he never violated his faith in Christ and Prayed to a Muslim god."

I believe Clinton would have prayed to whatever he thought would get his sorry a** out of whatever jam it happened to be in at any given time. He was, in my opinion, an idolator in every way.

To me the biggest problem with this is it proves that W does not pray for guidence,he seeks it from political advisors..and not very good ones at that..

Really? I suppose if W prayed for guidance that God would have instructed him as the leader of the free world to publically condemn Islam as Rev. Graham did, and inflame an already extremely antagonistic and volatile situation.
Just as Osama bin Laden attempted to do.
Start a holy war.
That would have be great.
Thank God W doesn't consult you for guidance.

I am totally against Politically correctness it is one of the big things that has destroyed America. Good people know what is right or wrong to say and do, there is no need to have PC and the libs that came up with it never follow it themselves.

We should let the libs know we will not take their bull any longer in everyway we can.Libs are NOT our friends and never will be.

I Thank God for Bush every day. And I pray God gives him wisdom in all his decisions. I am very proud of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and I truly feel they are doing a great job. I love the way Rummy stands up to the media.

[Jorge]

I no longer take at face value his claim of being "born again"

Speaking of FR message board Pharisees on parade......(gag)

[sweetliberty]

Graham told it like it is. How can you say it was not Christian of him? We are instructed to defend our faith. You may not like what he said, but God never said to speak the truth only if everybody likes it.

[RickyJ]

I'm sure embryos appreciate Bush's "faith" in God. < /sarcasm >

I've been watching Bush very closely, he's a political genius, but not a moral one.

[poet]

Why should bush "chew" him out? He has a right to speak as he feels!! Or can Graham be called a terrorist under the new GESTAPO Law?

[sweetliberty]

Bump

[poet]

Goodness gracious sakes alive!!! You doubt a man who just issued an exec order to fed law enforcement agencies NOT to co-operate with congress in their investigation of clintons? A man who issued a Pres proclamation praising the u.n.? A man who is giving BILLIONS of our dollars to big business AND foreign countries? A man who signed into law an act that Americans will live to regret? A man who allows clinton appointees to remain in the fbi in position of authority?
What in Heaven's name is wrong with you?? Don't you realize he is a republican?

"Had Christ been around, he might have been good buddy with Muhammad."

You're kidding right?

[Phyto Chems]

He spoke well, Bush is involved with idolatry, wake "big" tenters, this is a lose lose situation, to fall into the hands of a anger GOD. We are to worship him and him alone.

[Calpublican]

Upon further inspection "W" is not a follower of the Christ; he is a Methodist

Oh, PUULLEEEZZE!

"Free Republic is in trouble with everyone. It's why I find this place so charming."

ROFL!

[sweetliberty]

Mormonism and Christian Science are not Christian denominations they are cults which deny the divinity and sacrifice of Christ for the forgiveness of our sins.

"becoming a muslim in the US is now officialy mainstream, the terrorists have won, because this is exactly what Bin Laden wanted."

I wonder how well Rosie and Babs and Brittany will adapt to the burqa.

A quick scan of Google produced the following: In 1978, Sadat, Begin, and United States President Jimmy Carter held discussions... Quark, do you make it up as go along or is the world fantasy to you? I told you earlier, your should get out more.

Incidentally, the words I quoted should have moved a person with a heart, regardless of who the author of those words was. But your heart was replaced by a docitrine. I met a lot of people like you, whose heart is replaced by quotations from the Bible. They love G-d and are unable to love poeple.

I am not going to waste my time on someone for whom Google is the arbiter of knowledge. This is my last reply to you. Have a happy Thanksgiving.

A New Jersey member since member since October 27th, 2001...interesting! Yeah, small minds always point out that, altgough they have nothing to say, they were the first in the valley. OK, OK, suppose you came to FR before me. What does that prove?

I admit, I hear this not for the first time. So, how does this measure your character, purity of heart, and devotion to G-d that you discovered FR in, say, 2000 and not 2001?

The only answer I have is this: small minds use small yardsticks.

I have participated in quite a few of interesting, thoughtful, and though-provoking discussions on FR, so I am quite content and gratified with those. So, please, if you have nothing to say, just keep silence.

As Mark Twain said, to wit: "The smart man is not the one who says smart things --- it is the one who refrains from saying something stupid."
