September 6, 201115 yr "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's." Jesus didn't lobby to have laws changed or demand a theocracy installed. Why do you disagree? Have you ever read the Bible from cover to cover? Or better yet do you take it literally? Or believe it?
September 6, 201115 yr Now I'm really confused.. Help me out here folks.. Seems that most of the Christian posters in this thread are against spoken prayers in public schools etc. But it's OK for Muslims to have school prayers... Our founding fathers were not really Christian because they owned slaves.. But abortion is OK because it's the law... Now you see why the world is so messed up......
September 6, 201115 yr Have you ever read the Bible from cover to cover? Or better yet do you take it literally? Or believe it? Have you? In Greek or Hebrew? Ever studied it rather than just read it?
September 6, 201115 yr Saw where the Bell Co FB coach got beat up at the game by a Middlesboro fan, do away with prayer and see what happens. I am one of the Christian posters on this site and I am not against public prayer in a public place. As am I but I rarely find myself in agreement with your statements.
September 6, 201115 yr Now you see why the world is so messed up...... When has the world not been so messed up?:confused:
September 6, 201115 yr Now you see why the world is so messed up...... Yeah, no one ever saw this kind of thing before prayer was taken out of football games. (BTW, the preceeding was sarcasm)
September 6, 201115 yr I am pretty sure our history with the native Americans are a little after our founding fathers created the constitution that is the frame work of our country. As for slavery, it has been around since the days Jesus walked on this earth and at times was caused by Gods hands for his chisen people mostly because they forgot about him. There is no such this as evil................evil is just the word we use to describe the absence of God!I think your history is a little, ok...WAY off. I'll start off easy, ever heard of the Indian Removal Act of 1830? 17th century probably doesn't have anything to do with our country. 1776 ring a liberty bell with you! Yes, some or even most of our family fathers had slaves and my reference was to God delivering his chosen people into slavery so it may not necessarily be a Christian thing to do it doesn't mean they didn't believe in God. I am saved by the blood of Jesus Christ and I believe in God ad read the Bible but that doesn't mean all of my actions and thoughts are Christian like after all I am human just like our founding fathers!See above, and to be clear...1830 is a litttle after 1776. :sssh:

I am one of the Christian posters on this site and I am not against public prayer in a public place. A model Christian you are: You dont deserve rights because IMO you are one sided as you are the only one correct. Everyones rights should be what you think. If you think prayer outloud is bad then why punish those who feel it is OK. Just because you dont believe. Youi can take the public place, taxpayers stuff and shove that arguement as far as you like down the drain. :lol: :lol: :lol:
September 6, 201115 yr Have you? In Greek or Hebrew? Ever studied it rather than just read it? Yes. In both. Got my first Greek/Hebrew Bible almost 12 years ago.
September 6, 201115 yr Yeah, no one ever saw this kind of thing before prayer was taken out of football games. (BTW, the preceeding was sarcasm) You think prayer might help things?
September 6, 201115 yr Now I'm really confused.. Help me out here folks.. Seems that most of the Christian posters in this thread are against spoken prayers in public schools etc. But it's OK for Muslims to have school prayers... Who said it was okay? I must have missed all those posts that have been in support for it. :idunno:

Please explain to me the warped logic you used to get from the Bell Co football coach getting beaten up to having any relation to them getting rid of the public prayer. That is a huge leap, but one I should have expected from you.

Have you ever heard of the saying, "The power of Prayer" maybe if this guy had heard it before the game he wouldnt have done this, just maybe.

Have you ever heard of the saying, "The power of Prayer" maybe if this guy had heard it before the game he wouldnt have done this, just maybe. That's the most insane logic I've ever heard. If it were a player getting injured, I could maybe, maybe say you have some shred of a point, but because some idiot jumped the coach after the game, to blame that on the absence of prayer is just absurd.
September 6, 201115 yr Have you ever read the Bible from cover to cover? Or better yet do you take it literally? Or believe it? Yes. I'm just curious why, as a follower of Christ, you require certain levels of political action when Jesus didn't.
