    Pro-life supporters question:

    But remember the following realities that affect that argument. First, the child either is a human or not. If we agree that we're talking about a human rather than a tadpole or the proverbial "clump of cells," then the tragedy experienced by the rape victim, as unfair as it is, does not and...

    Pro-life supporters question:

    Some will be raised by their parents even if they had not planned on having a (or another) child. Some will be raised by other relatives. And many will be adopted. There are more people wanting to adopt than there are children to adopt at present. In addition, if the laws did not allow for...

    Which would you prefer?

    I know. So that's why the answer to the question isn't really about which one (home or institution) is to be preferred. The "group home," or whatever the preferred term is, can only be considered a last choice, when there isn't a workable alternative.

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    That kind of non-answer is exactly why I asked what you imagine the term justification to mean. Merely using it in a sentence, as you do, doesn't show an accurate understanding of the concept, and it sure doesn't answer any of the many questions you have been asked by the Christian posters here...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    I have...and that's why I asked you to explain why your theory on justification is preferred over the Scriptural definition. I'll take it from your reply here that you really do not have a good reason to reject the Bible's treatment of the matter.

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    As was noted previously, a lot depends on how the speaker defines "justified." In Christianity, it means an act of God by which He pronounces a sinner to be righteous because of that sinner’s faith in Christ.

    Is Matthew 24:3-14 coming true?

    I have no idea what you're trying to say there. Sorry. Even if that is so, it doesn't make anything about it be a prophesy. And the wording you gave us--a direct quote--which I was working from doesn't say that oil would be discovered under the sea near Norway. Then too, if this was supposed...

    Is Matthew 24:3-14 coming true?

    Well, yes, but I didn't get the idea that Messy was in their corner. More like those hardhearted people were unwilling to listen to prophesy, etc. But it wasn't clear in the wording which was which, or that something else was meant. Exactly.

    Is Matthew 24:3-14 coming true?

    Okay, but this particular occurrence doesn't seem to add up to much of a prophesy.

    Your house mortgage

    Usually, the advice deals with the difference between a 15 year mortgage and a 30 year one. The idea is that the longer you owe, the less the actual value of the money you repay with will be, especially in these inflationary times. And, in the meantime, the money you don't give to the lender...

    Is Matthew 24:3-14 coming true?

    I can't seem to find any source that says oil began erupting from the North Sea. The Continental Shelf was explored in the 1960s and oil deposits were found, but nothing like "when oil comes out of the North Sea and along the Norwegian coast..." Maybe that will happen in the future? By the...

    Thoughts on punishment for those who abuse animals?

    Okay. But the problem may lie with the term "Animal Lover" which is a loaded term like many others that are in use these days and have become "fightin' words." and that's your choice. If others choose to eat animal flesh, there's nothing wrong with them doing that, SUBJECT TO other...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    That mistake does appear to be one of the more prevalent areas of disagreement when it comes to these discussions of ours. So, from here on, the best thing probably would be to find a way of explaining why the notion that says God has saved people who have no interest in him whatsoever, equally...

    Why is Donald Trump participating again?

    Don't most of us think that it's right (or even necessary) to push back against injustice? Wouldn't your natural instinct be to try to resist the opposition party's attempt to change the rules and defy centuries of law merely in order to target you personally because you're likely to defeat...

    Is Matthew 24:3-14 coming true?

    Generally speaking, that's true. It's amazing to me how people who are, for all we know, ordinary believers regardless of denomination, nevertheless are easily persuaded by all sorts of persons that they don't know much about who have said that they've seen and/or talked with the Faither...

    Thoughts on punishment for those who abuse animals?

    They're all eligible for being used as food. That wasn't the point. Well, that's government for ya. It doesn't prove anything, one way or the other, about which species make good pets, etc.

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Many people make that same mistake. And many of them will insist that if you so much as present yourself at the front of the congregation for any reason, such as baptism or testifying, this means it's a "good work" and that it, in turn, means the person doing it believes in salvation by "works."...

    Fellowship time before or after church?

    The main service is Holy Communion, therefore a coffee hour prior to that wouldn't work. But afterwards, it seems like a natural.

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Nonsense. It's a matter of time, not works.

    Would you miss them if the creeds were all gone?

    I'd miss the Nicene and Apostles' Creeds, sure. But then again, I'd also miss about a hundred other important elements in our religion.
