Robert J. Anderson - that's the first face you see at the Southern Baptist Convention's webpage when you look up the members of the Executive Committee.
Her email address: elizabeth.hinson@yale.edu
Another 29 year-old college student heard from.
She's not a Christian. Period. Supporting homosexuality and abortion are proof positive. End of discussion.
As a Christian, I am more concerned with people's actions than I am with titles, and I believe that people can only prove their Christianity through love and commitment to Jesus' teachings.Trust me, honey, killing the unborn ain't love.
If a Christian is murdering babies, then us "right-wing" Christians surely shouldn't call them to task over such a thing. I couldn't bear it if they called me ignorant. /sarcasm
I wonder if she will want to "reclaim" Christianity from
- "Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money?" (Matt 20:15)
- "If you will enter into life, keep the Commandments." (Matt 19:17)
- "The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil... The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the fiery furnace..." (Matthew 13:28-43)
- "...outside are the homosexuals, those who misuse drugs in connection with the occult, the sexually immoral, murderers, idol-worshippers, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood." (Rev 22:15)
Based on the article, I would guess she would rather reclaim Christianity from the founder of that faith.
Another pro-choice Christian who doesn't read her Bible. Where are these people coming from? Cheez.
Many Christians, like myself, strongly believe in separation of church and state; are Democrats and pro-choice; support women in ministry as preachers and teachers; and believe that God loves all people, regardless of race, creed, color or sexual orientation. It is possible for Christians to represent such God-like views and not be radical judgmentalists. It is possible for Christians to be loving, kind, conversational and respectful of persons of different faiths.
A wolf in sheep's clothing. Oh, oh, there I go being judgemental.
A Christian at Yale, now that's gotta be a contradiction
That girl needs to re-read Paul's first letter to the church in Corinth (assuming she's ever read it in the first place).
Being for abortion is "God-like"?
Like He said, certain people spurn the Christian right in favor of the Christian wrong. "I never knew you."
Take out the "pro-choice" part and I basically agree with her. 1) There is nothing wrong with a separation of church and state. In fact, it protects the church more than the state. 2) There are many good Christian, and even conservative, Democrats. Those numbers are declining though as many are realizing the Republican Party better represents their values. 3) I grew up with a sweet old lady as my Sunday School teacher. She knew more about the Bible than anyone I have ever met. I've never heard a female minister, but I don't suppose I have anything wrong with it. 4) God DOES love all people, regardless of race, creed, color or sexual orientation. However, that doesn't mean he doesn't disaprove of some actions (homosexuality being one of those). Just as God loves thieves, murderers, rapists, etc. He loves the sinner, but hates the sin.
This is a Jimmy Carter Christian. Kinda like a Yellow Dog Democrat. We used to have a mess of them here in Georgia.
Typical chick. Probably menstruating....it's a college girl thing.
Well, that's what I heard.

Oh, sure.
Once America was a place where gays could marry, condoms were distributed freely in schools, drug use was happily accepted and taxpayers could be forced to purchase Ward Churchill's opinions.......
....and then the Christians came along and changed everything.
I'd be very interested to read what this girl thinks of her own article in--oh say ten years.
I'd tell anyone sending her email not be too harsh and avoid the flames--remember God and Man at Yale--she is living in a very anti-religous environment. Instead just give her some insight of what it means to be Christian outside of Academia.
It may be that in--oh say ten years--when she has lived a bit in the real world as opposed to an ultra-liberal campus she'll "get it."
We were all young once (remember Winston Churchill).
Just my .02
The good news is that the left feels the need to talk faith. It's great, no matter how they try to spin it.
Damn straight we did, chicky. Suck it up and deal.

........except of course, if they are pro-life Republicans. Then we hate them so much we burst into tears.
