equal rights? bullchit, if they realy wanted to be fair and just it should have been a designed for any people who live together and share expenses, a comunion law, speciel interest just ticks me off
I don't need to get anymore specific when it comes to the gov't enforcing its own radical ideology. Examples are all around us. This Pastors actions were illegal under US Tax Code and the First Amendment and were VERY UN-Christ like under the teachings of Christ. All that jerk accomplished was toturn more people off to the Gospel and bring shame upon the name of Jesus kinda like what you do all the time.
First off stem cells are taken from embryos that are thrown out because they are not used and considered "waste". Pastors are free to inform their memebers of canidates views but US Tax Code Prohibits them from advocating for or against a certain canidate. THe First A The First Amendment protects gov't from Church interference as well as providing for the freedom of speach.Its no ones business who you vote for. THe Church is not a place to promote your own political view no matter what they may be. The Church is for uplifting Christ and drawing people to Him. Not only did this Pastor make a jerk out of himself he brought reproach upon the name of Christ and turned people off to the Gospel. Scripture does NOT grant Pastors the authority to kick out folks that disagree with their narrow minded political agenda. Huck I'm not the only one on here that knows that YOU are close minded and can't be reasoned with. Huck you have been very hateful towards me ever since I joined Hipforums and started posting on the old Christian Hippies Forum. Why?Is it because I'm a Christian and a Peace Loving Liberal Democrat that doesn't agree with your narrow minded view of the World? YOu have been hateful towards me and countless others on here. In case you forgot, YOU are the one that was nominted for Most Self-Righteous Jack*ss Award. The words that you have written and the attitudes you have expressed on here have brought reproach on the name of Jesus and have turned countless people off to the Gospel. I could fill countless posts with quotes of your hateful,warmongering words.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/chi-0506050386jun05,0,3806624.column?coll=chi-ed_opinion_columnists-utl The US tax code is not part of the First Amendment. Also, I'm pretty sure that the limits on political advocacy apply only to the 60 days preceding an election. If I'm not mistaken, this incident occurred after the election. Would you say that about the civil rights movement? I'm not going to argue that with you. It has nothing at all to do with government coercion. Could a pastor reasonably expel someone who proudly voted for a Klansman? I personally wouldn't discipline someone who voted for Kerry in spite of his support of legalized abortion and gay "marriage," but a supposed Christian who enthusiastically supports these evils is guilty of sin and should be rebuked. Based on the typically juvenille level of discourse here, I take that as a compliment. The funny thing is that I've been labeled a hopeless liberal by hardcore conservatives on other forums. You're as "narrow-minded" as they are. Your coziness with liberal Democrats reveals your basic lack of discernment. Christians shouldn't proudly wear such worldly labels. You apparently can't distinguish between rigorous debate and hate, yet another hallmark of your unbiblical relativistic mindset. Tell me if you believe that unrepentant sinners (including any practicing homosexuals) and unbelievers will be damned for all eternity, then we'll see if we're talking about the same gospel. Let's see a few.
(i know a wind-up when i see one, but what the hell) if i change 2 christianity can i be as bitter and twisted as u r?
Huck I have a suggestion. Instead of mindlessly repeating the Right-Wing NeoCon Republican party line try to think for yourself for once. I enjoy civil debate with folks of other political views but only when my opponent can actually give a well thought out logical defense of his/her views instead of resorting to unthinking kneejerk reactionary attacks. While you're at it don't forget to throw in the old "my dad can beat up your dad" or maybe some "yo mama" put downs as well. You say some conservatives call you liberal? LOL.... Its been awhile since I laughed so hard. Who said you were liberal,David Duke or was it Ann Coulter? Huck,the Bible calls upon us to be witnesses for Christ and to lead people to Him. Just think Huck you may be the only Christian some folks may ever met.Do you want to be responsible for turning people off to the Gospel? Huck you haven't succeded in winning people over to Christ or to your line of reasoning. All you do is turn people off. Let's get back to the topic at hand. I heard a really good Rodney Dangerfield-esque joke on Praire Home Companion that goes something like this. A man and his wife were watching a news segment pertaining to Gay Marriage. After the segment ended the husband exclaimed. "Marriage!!! Don't Gays suffer enough?
