Jim Lincoln wrote: "No, New York abortion law doesn't let mothers abort babies a minute before they would be born--Politifact" https://tinyurl.com/yadduvyv It won't make the law any more popular with the anti-abortionist crowd, but it will clear up some misperceptions anyway. Yours is the misperception. Read the bill.Page 2 "..within 24 weeks....or the abortion is necessary to protect the 49 patient's life or health" "Health" can mean anything that might upset the mother should the child be born. Page 3 7 Homicide means conduct which causes the death of a person [or an 8 unborn child with which a female has been pregnant for more than 9 twenty-four weeks] The bracketed portions are omitted in the new "Reproductive Health Act." Thus it is no longer a homicide to kill the baby after 24 weeks, up to birth. How can this be? Page 3 15 Homicide[, abortion] and related offenses; [definitions of terms] 16 definition. 17 The following [definitions are] definition is applicable to this arti- 18 cle: 19 [1.] "Person," when referring to the victim of a homicide, means a 20 human being who has been born and is alive. The child has to be born to be accepted as human. You agree? |

Allie wrote: Take your kids out of public school. Write your congressman about impeachment It is wise to prevent our children from being exposed to these situations.However, we must remember that our citizenship is in heaven. Why go to a congressman he was voted in just as the president was? We keep voting and things keep getting worse, Read Psalm 2. Men need Christ. But they have taken counsel against him. Voters pay no attention to Psalm 1. We are subtly counseled by the wicked through media to do something that God is removed from Christians make good citizens. The only law Christians need is to love God thoroughly, and his neighbor; esteeming both more valuable than himself. Again our citizenship is in heaven and we should seek those things above where Christ is seated. Pray our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed by thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. This is not asking for our wills to be performed. This is not asking the congressman to fulfill our will. Writing to the congressman is like praying to him to do something for your flesh. |

1. Were there grievous scandals in the early Church? 2. Jesus handpicked twelve, personally-trained Apostles. What scandalous behaviors did they exhibit? (Betrayed Christ (1) Mark 14:43-44; Denied Christ (1) Mark 14:66-72; Abandoned Christ in the garden (12) Mark 14:50; Doubted Christ's resurrection (1) John 20:24-25). 3. If there were scandals in the early Church and scandals in the Apostolic circle, should we be surprised if there are scandals in the Church today? 4. Is sexual sin caused by celibacy, by marriage or by human weakness in a sex-soaked culture? Is it possible to live a chaste life, either married or single? (See Matthew 19:26, Philippians 4:13, 1 Corinthians 10:13, 2 Corinthians 12:9.) 5. Was Jesus celibate? Was St. Paul celibate? (See 1 Corinthians 7:8.) According to the Bible, is celibacy a good thing? (See Matthew 19:10-12, 1 Corinthians 7:32-35; CCC 1618-1620.) 6. Is Christ's Church made up only of the pure or does it also contain sinners? (Read the parable of the wheat and the tares [Matthew 13:24-30, 36-42] and the parable of the dragnet [Matthew 13:47-50] realizing that the "kingdom" in Matthew's Gospel is the Church-Matthew 16:18-19. Also see CCC 827.) |

Does the Proverb speak of all kings? Are there any kings that have God's permission not to kiss the Son? Who are they? Psalm 2 says: 6Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. 7I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. 8Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. 9Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. 10Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. 11Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. See John 19:10Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? 11Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. To decree Pilate's place over the Jews and to establish it are not he same thing. |

Authy wrote: It struck me that two of the 'tenets' of Calvinism, namely Sovereignty of God and Total Depravity of man contributes to the Calvinist approach on 'authority'.Authy, You have demonstrated a teachable spirit and a solid foundation. The Prophet like unto Moses, whose house it is, will teach you, pray for you and correct all of those that are His, of that be assured. Elmer is not right in what he said. Though both of us can only draw partial conclusions from your words. I disagree with Elmer's assessment on a number of things (not everything). Elmer read Romans 2:1-4 also in the beginning of the book you mention. Careful. I've had to learn this myself under my Father's rod, it is a tendency of the flesh, we still fight against. We lack a good deal of information in this context, it's not wise to conclude or write in haste. I don't agree with Calvin on everything, because we don't share the same eschatology. But he was a reformed teacher with the "keys of the kingdom". see Hebrews 9:10 as concerns 'reformation' in context and the original Greek. It is also related to R.Gr.'s point |

Authy wrote: "All authority comes from God?" The Biblical answer is YES! Romans 13 among others prove that. Yet, God is not the author of sin. Pilate asked the suffering servant of Jehovah: "What is truth?" Did he want to know it? No! He wanted to justify himself in the state execution of Jesus Christ encouraged by church men. Pilate washed his hands in an external right but he did the wicked deed. So we should have submitted to Pilate if we were a 'Christian" Roman soldier? Maybe, if we became one like the the observing Roman soldier might have at the Lord's death, because he testified that truly this man was the Son of God. What he did with it, after he knew it was another thing. Here the Scripture is silent. You said It specifically relates to governing authority in ALL nations whether Christian or otherwise. True, So called 'Christian' countries such as Australia, America and Britain for example - are of course NOT Christian and never have been. This is partial truth and partial error; error that comes along side of truth and confuses it. |

Barn Door Rechurch Center wrote: Didn't take long for this thread to go off on a tangent. You are correct, however 'if' you are 'listening' there is a thread. And people are responding as they always do because the article says different things to different people like a sermon. What would you prefer chit-chat to dealing with the real issues that give this poll 'some' verification. The article has been quoted 3 times and the responses are appropriate to the quotes. |
