  • Or why not just be honest with yourself and say that you want all the fun without the consquences. That’s what abortion is, getting rid of consquences. Abortion is an evil thing. It’s not about women choices. In reality, most abortion “doctors” manipulate women. It’s wrong! I’ll bring in the old tried and true cliche: The baby isn’t given a choice! I feel sorry for you that you believe that.
    And one last thing: what if your mother had decided she didn’t want to go through with the pregnancy when she was pregnant with you?

  • “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will turn from it.” – Proverbs 22:6
    The parents have the right and responsibility to raise a child with their beliefs. When a child is older, he’ll have to make the decision of what to believe himself.
    But I must ask: what of the indoctrination permeating the public school system, hmmm? The majority of the public schools teach from a solely atheist, evolutionary viewpoint. They’re also teaching sex education from a very loose standpoint, without a discussion of purity and abstinance but certainly filled with lectures on gay marriage from a very liberal standpoint.
    It is the right and responsiblity of the parent to teach a child what to believe. When the child is older and grown-up, he can make his own decisions about that. Whether a parent is atheist or Christian, they have the right and responsibility to train their children with their beliefs.

  • What she did was petty, selfish and wrong, even if she says otherwise. But just because I completely disagree with her and believe what she did was heinous does not give me the right to treat her the way her classmates are treating her. They are responding in a way not befitting followers of Christ (I’m sure at least some of them are.). I don’t care what someone did. I’m not going to harras, mistreat, or verbally abuse anyone.

    Sin is sin. None is above the other. Homosexuality and hetersexual adultery and fornication are equally sinful. God doesn’t see one as worse than the other. But just because one is more common, doesn’t mean that it justifies the other.

  • This guy’s absolutely correct on homosexuality. The Bible clearly says that homosexuality is wrong. It is an abomination, and children should not be raised by homosexual “parents”. The ideal family is a man and a woman. That’s how God set up in reproduction and parenthood, one man and one woman. That is marriage. He didn’t create two dudes or two chicks in the Garden of Eden. He created one man and one woman. The guy stated his opinion (aka, the truth) in print. He has the first amendment right to do so. The Constitution doesn’t stop at the doors of public school. If someone was offended by the truth, that’s their problem. Censorship is wrong and unConstitutional. The school is in the wrong, not the kid.

  • Hey, I’d rather have an Imaginary Friend and be happy than live in “reality” and be bitter and miserable.

    But proselytizing. Did you know that the atheist comedian Penn Gilette has publicly said that he does not respect any religious person who does not proselytize? Think about it. If you had the cure to cancer, would you keep it to yourself? Of course not! It’s the same thing with Christians. We believe that if you don’t have Jesus, you go to hell for eternity. That’s only one of the reason we share our faith. Of course, not enough of us do, and we don’t do it enough. But we have love and hope and peace, and life is good. If I’m wrong, at least during this life I’m happy, if this is the only life, which it isn’t.

    To God, our best works are like filthy rags, but faith without works is dead. Through a faith in Christ Jesus we are enabled to do works that truly please God. Without faith in Christ, we cannot please God. Just because on our own we can’t please God, doesn‘t mean we shouldn’t try to do good for Him. As a Christian, I am supposed to do my very best for God and others. I am to show God’s love for the world (His Agape) to every person I meet and to help them when I am able. The point is, when I do good, I‘m focused on doing what’s right because I please God. I‘m not looking for extra points with the Man upstairs or for other people’s approval.
    But you are very right when you say that many Christians don’t exhibit the love and goodness of Christ.

  • You know what. I really don’t like football. I’m not a football player. I don’t believe in football. And every time one of my friends talks about a football game or when my dad watches football or when I see football memoirbelia I feel left out and isolated. So guess what, I should take it to court and remove football from schools and TV and disband the NFL!
    Oh wait! That’s stupid. I need to learn to deal with it like a man and get over it instead of complaining and ruining it for everyone else!
    (I seriously hope you didn’t take this literally.)

  • Burthke’s definition of religion is the man-made rules and regulations that you have to live up to in order to enter heaven. I completely agree with him.
    Religion is works. Jesus is Grace. Now, of course, “Faith without works is dead.” But you can’t truly please God without faith in Him and the recieving of His grace. Because on our own, our good works are like filthy rags to Him. But through Him, through His Son’s sacrifice and His Spirit, we can do good things that will truly please Him.
    As to this man‘s statement that you can’t have Christ without His church or the King without His kingdom, that is false. Jesus is the eternal God. His glory doesn’t depend on worship. His glory is never diminished. He is King of the Universe. He CREATED His kingdom. He doesn’t need anything to be King of all. He was King of all before He created all.
    Baptism and Communion are not works that we have to do in order to recieve salvation, but they are reminders of Christ’s sacrifice and love for us. Communion, the recieving of bread and wine (grape juice) representing Jesus’ body and blood, is a reminder that He gave His body up to torture and that He spilled His blood for us that we might be saved. Baptism is the representation of His burial and ressurection. You put under the water and the old is washed away. You come out again a new creature in Christ. This is symbolic and cannot save you.
    Religion will put you in chains but Jesus sets you free, because He already paid the cos

  • First of all, I never said that you had to believe that all of the Bible was true in order to recieve salvation and enter heaven.
    For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised Him from the dead you will be saved. – Romans 10:9
    Second of all, I never said that all TRANSLATIONS of the original Scriptures are infallable. Take, for instance, the New World Translation. It twists John 1:1 by saying “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was A God.” This translation is horribly skewed. I do not believe that all translations are accurate. I certainly wouldn’t use the Message translation to do an in-depth Bible study, though I do still like the Message. But Scripture is perfectly infallable in the original texts written in Hebrew, Armenian, and Greek.
    If you can’t see that the Bible is the HOLY, INFALLABLE Word of God, then I can’t help you see it.
