What about your word and honor? What about the command in scripture to pay your just and honorable debts.

I am concerned with the way the text reads. When it says he that sinneth is of the devil; I believe it. I wouldn't dismiss what Jesus did for her too lightly. She was about to be stoned to death by an angry mob. He diffused the situation, saved her life and delivered her from Sin. You know...I'd call that a miracle. Read John 5: (8-14)

I can't be concerned with Robertson's grammatical riddles. It's like this: if you play; you are a player. If you drink; you are a drinker. If you sin; you are a sinner. And if you are a sinner; then, what have you been saved from? Certainly not sin. What did Jesus command many of those he worked miracles for? Was it go and sin every day? No, he said, "Thy sins be forgiven thee. Go and sin no more." I'll look up the verse in question.

I know that, but since the current trend seems to be to tax and spend, couldn't we tax the tax; so, the government would have more money. More is better????

Wonder if they've thought of taxing lottery tickets and bingo halls? Let's all call our reps/sen and recommend it.

Could we start a fundamentalist movement and actually organize the Christian Conservative Party? I'll volunteer to run for President on the ticket.

And Washington.

We all have sinned, if we hadn't Jesus would not have had to die. But what part of ALL in the verses above do you not understand? Read I John 3:6 "Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him." Jesus said he wouldn't have us tempted above that which we were able to bear, but with EVERY temptation he'd make the way for our escape. Good enough for me.

He that committeth sin is of the Devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. Hatz-I John 3:8-9.

Of course, on His Father's side, there isn't a lot of diversity.

Not real good with chapter and verse, Htz. I don't study the Bible that way, but I can assure you it's in there. I do know there are some good Bible Concordances on-line, if you can't put your hands on your hardback copy.

FDR, Clinton, Kennedy When you look at the long-term effects of a presidency, how many of the policies that any of them enacted were great successes? Further, name a great policy accomplishment of any of them. FDR helped move us toward socialism. Clinton signed NAFTA effectively ending America's dominance as an industrial power. Kennedy couldn't even handle Cuba.

Believe this or not....there is actually a teacher in our high school (I won't say where) who teaches children that Lincoln was a homosexual and that he was a slaveowner. Now, I know he was forced into being an abolitionist, but a slaveowning homosexual... Can anyone confirm this lunacy???

The Bible says,"There was nothing comely about him that men should behold his appearance." Leads me to believe he would have fit in as an average "looking" Galilean of the time. So, then what does that look like? He does have some "black" ancestry, or at least Solomon would lead us to believe he does.

A couple of scriptures to think about: "All that my Father hath given me, I've lost none; saving for the Son of Perdition and that so the scriptures might be fulfilled." "Make your peace calling and election sure. If you do these things, you shall never fall." "We are not like the dog that returns to the vomit or the sow that wallows in the mire." Also, the Bible says if you were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift...if it were possible to fall..it would be impossible to be renewed. This would crucify Jesus afresh and bring Him to an open shame. So, in my opinion, people who do those things you mention, were probably well-intended within their own capabilities; yet, they never fully "held out faithful to the end (of sin)" and were never saved.
