I know, I know, I should be praying for her; and I will. How did we come to this? I know, we live in a fallen world.

It's still sad that we are still judgin people by the color of their skin and not the content of their character, as evidenced by the Obama win.

God forbid grandmas, or better yet parents, watch their own children and raise them totally unregulated!! It will lead to anarchy! Our children must be saved from their ignorant parents!

We're being set up for mandatory, cradle to grave child care in this new Obama Nation. It's coming soon to a neighborhood near you!!

Really!!?? How about taking prayer out of schools? How about not being allowed to pray in Jesus's name before football games and high school graduating classes? How about the Ten Commandments being removed from public places? How about the murder of 4000 unborn children per day? Should I continue? And all this is being done not against the will of a small, loudly obnoxious group of people, but against the believes of the vast majority of Americans. I'm really sick of these people trying to justify their sins and have the American people condone them.

That's funny. President-elect Barack Hussein Obama is the poster boy for Planned Parenthood. Anyone hear of their non-profit status even being questioned, must less threatened? I guess the killing of millions of black babies and the targeting of (preying upon) black women for abortions is not rascist either. If that's not calling good evil and evil good, I don't know what is!!

I was also raised a Roman Catholic until God opened my eyes to my sin and, by His grace, I repented and believed Him. Many of my family members and my in-laws are still blinded, and have been blinded, by the lies they have been told, such as you're okay as long you're under the Roman umbrella. Many heavy burdens are laid on them to fulfill requirements, and they believe they must merit favor with God through works, praying rosaries, penance, suffering, the merits of the "saints," etc. They are being deceived straight into hell.

Abram "believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness." (Gen. 15:6, Rom. 4:3) This before all of his acts of obedience (i.e., circumcision, sacrifice on Mt. Moriah, before even the name change to Abraham). The Lord knew his heart and accounted his belief as righteousness.

No one ever said we were some sort of puppet on a string, but you seem to believe God is wringing His hands, waiting to see the outcome of this whole mess. God is sovreign and has taken care of everything, from beginning to end. That is why Jesus Christ is "the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." (Rev. 13:8)

Job realized this when he said, "I know that You can do everything, and that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You... Therefore, I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes." (Job 42:2, 6)

"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)

The next verse explains where our works come in.

"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." (Ephesians 2:10)

The Lord saved us in order that we can do "good works," which He does through us. We were saved FOR good works, not BY good works. We don't even have a concept of good works or the ability to perform them without the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. If we ARE NOT "in Christ," any "good work" we do is totally in vain. If we ARE "in Christ," the "good works" we do are a result of the change that God has wrought in us, not some "good stuff" we do because we're "good people."

I praise the Lord Jesus Christ that I DON'T have to rely on my "many acts of charity." I am found wanting, as we all are.

But the Lord Jesus Christ, Lance, He is not found wanting! It's on His work that I rely, and that will never be found wanting or missing the mark!!

The thing I found amusing (amusing if it weren't so pathetic) is that this guy is considered a scholar! And I quote,

"Verhoeven is best known as the director of blockbuster films including 'Basic Instinct' and 'RoboCop,' but he is also a member of 'Jesus Seminar,' a group of scholars and authors that seeks to establish historical facts about Jesus."

Not that being considered a "scholar" means much anyway, but this paragraph had me laughing out loud! Directing "Robocop" should be an embarrassment, not a credential.

Then we are told by a professor of religious studies that, and I quote, "they are real scholars — you have to deal with them."

Neil is exactly right. Abortion is nothing less than mass genocide and in its beginning was racially motivated. Darwin, evolution, survival of the fittest, get rid of the "unfit", social engineering, Nietsche, Nazi death camps, Stalin, etc., etc.
