Re: I can't believe this . . . Horrible news!

Dear ThinksDesign, please find a Bible verse, or verses, that tells us that the sum total of being a Christian is "about being equal and fair."

My problem with your statement is that when most people spin that particular cotton candy dictum, they are holding in their minds their own judgment about what is or is not "fair"-- never mind liberal humanist ideas about equality, which differ significantly from God's ideas.

Many people llike to cite this verse--

Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

As "proof" that everybody is equal. But it just means that in the community of Heaven, we are one with Jesus. Nobody can be more "saved" than the next person. If you insist that it means more than that--say, that it should be taken literally-- well then, why do people still remain men and women after they are saved? How is it that I still have lady parts? (Which are a lot of trouble, mind you!)

Frankly, I think that you are just interpreting the Holy Bible in broad, vague strokes because you can't hunker down and get to the real, detailed truth of the Bible. It's like you're humming the tune, but you don't know the words. And you definitely don't know what the words mean.

Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

Acts 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

As long as we fear God and do good works God will accept us.

And what is wrong with being a woman?

Nothing as long as they know their place.

1 Timothy 2:12
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

I don't think you've fully understood.

Acts 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

Is saying that everyone who accepts Jesus, everyone who is saved, is accepted with him. Which is exactly the point Handmaiden made.

Noone on here is arguing that all the saved are accepted, that all that fear him are welcome. The point is that they're not equal.

Re: I can't believe this . . . Horrible news!

Hey, I've got an idea!


Have your flock donate money to American hero and racial profiling victim George Zimmerman!

That's an excellent idea, Brother!

Even though Zimmerman is apparently a half-breed Mexican't, it is still a worthy cause to help him.

Did you see the latest news, that the producer at NBC edited Zimmerman's 911 call to make it look like he was motivated by race?

The New York Times is reporting that "the person was fired on Thursday, according to two people with direct knowledge of the disciplinary action who declined to be identified discussing internal company matters."

The dismissal of the Miami-based producer, whose name has not been publicized, followed an internal investigation by NBC, which led to the network apologizing earlier this week for having aired the deceptive audio.


The recording aired on NBC's "Today" show on March 27, when the audio viewers heard suggested that Zimmerman volunteered to police, without provocation, that Martin was black: "This guy looks like he's up to no good. He looks black."

But the tape had been edited, and the portion where the 911 dispatcher specifically asks Zimmerman if the person in question was "black, white or Hispanic," was deleted.


The conversation that actually occurred between the dispatcher and Zimmerman is as follows:


"This guy looks like he's up to no good. Or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about." Then the dispatcher asked, "O.K., and this guy — is he white, black or Hispanic?" To which Zimmerman replied, "He looks black."

Even lefty liberal loon Jon Stewart bashed NBC.
