prince charles wrote: this is a significant step 'as in the days of noah' The Lifesitenews article says "Under current rules, parents have the right to withdraw their child from sex and relationship education (SRE) classes up until the age of 19. But the bill will lower that to 15, ensuring that students receive at least one year of sex-education. The BBC notes that currently, only 0.04 per cent of parents use the opt-out."Of course, much of the damage inflicted by the public school system has been inflicted long before the age of 15. Sadly, it is significant for only 0.04%, which is probably a fair reflection of the spiritual barometer. Most schools have already been giving "children information on homosexual relationships as well as artificial contraception and abortion." This battle was lost long ago. Christ's victory in the war however is assured. |

Neil - excellent observation re TE Lawrence's observations. However, for the most part such practices tend to be highly secretive or used as a form of abuse or humiliation committed on others by otherwise heterosexual men.Chas - You may have misunderstood some (but probably not all of what you have seen) of foreign cultures. Wikipedia correctly states "Whether friends hold hands depends on culture and gender: in the Western culture this is mainly done by women and small children. In Arab countries, Africa and some parts of Asia it is done also by men. It is also fairly common to see teenage girls holding hands as a sign of friendship." Ernie - as I intimated on another thread, with a public debt:GDP ratio of 94.27(http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/federal_debt_chart.html) the USA needs the hard working labour of its productive aliens in order to pay it's debt. Quite why any alien, legal or otherwise, wishes to voluntarily take on and voluntarily contribute to such a huge debt burden is beyond me. You and your compatriots can count yourselves very fortunate that there's one born every minute. It is wrong to steal by taking on debt that you cannot pay. It is wrong to steal from your children and immigrants. |

John UK wrote: It makes me sick, to be honest. How any Christian can justify these money grubbers is beyond me. And because they are filthy lucreists, filling their coffers with pots of gold, they can become oppressors and steal the market, simply by their lies and subterfuge and claims, winning the propaganda battle through the media, and filling this world up with Bibles which I wouldn't give tuppence for. Has no-one ever wondered how the Alpha Course came to be so big and international? Subterfuge and counterfeit Christianity!! Praise God for grace to see it. John,FYI - you quoted Neil on the fact that the Bible version used by the Bible Society / Amity Press is public domain. Thus, the bible version debate has absolutely NOTHING to do with whether they are "money grubbers" or "filthy lucreists". The issue is indeed the "PROPAGANDA BATTLE" where the Bible Society are in active, self-confessed, league with the Communist Chinese authorities. Please see my post on 20th February for a brief timeline of this charade. |

prince charles wrote: do people in america think that america is going to go bankrupt ? or do they think other countries will ? In regards to your tangential question a good guide might be the public debt:GDP ratio.If you compare it to a person taking on a mortgage at a salary multiple of 3 over a 25 year term, the following is an exhaustive list of countries that we can reasonably expect to pay their debts as they come due:- Oman. Everyone else is overmortgaged and expecting their children and immigrants to pick up the tab:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_public_debt Iceland was one of the "better" placed countries in 2008 with a ratio of 23.0. Unfortunately they went bankrupt in 2009. Latest ratio is 100.6, even higher than the US' 83.4. Of course, by implication there are those players who hold all the debt and can therefore toy with these governments at will .... Pay Up Pompey, Pompey Pay Up. |

Bible Society wrote: Although some four million Bibles were printed and distributed across China last year, the rapid growth of the church year on year means that demand for Bibles is now outstripping supply. A long overdue admission by the Bible Society.The background to this is that the Bible Society in collaboration with the stooge official Chinese religious bodies jointly declared in 1993 that "the era of bible smuggling is over". I wrote in protest to them at the time, that even by their OWN statistics it would take well over one hundred years to get a Bible to every Christian in China. Their reply was mealy mouthed drivel. Shame on them for their deceit! Shame on them for their assisting the Chinese government propaganda and government control and restricting of the printing and distribution of Bibles. This leads to increased surveillance of the Christians in China and increased persuction. |

Neil wrote: Guinness, with the alternatives before me, I have to choose between much bad worship, less (and protest at the risk of ostracism), or non-attendance. Any recommendations? I have not been able to resolve this to my satisfaction as yet. Neil,(I'll pretend to resist the temptation to suggest that you do whatever you think is right, and just make introductory allusion to it instead.) Hard for me to comment meaningfully and constructively not knowing the specific church situation in Tucson, but what you say does not surprise me and does sadden me. I find most Christians of every persuasion today to be de facto Episcopalians holding to a form of physical "Apostolic Succession" with a history that contradicts their own profession. Perhaps you might start your own small congregation and see where the Lord takes it from there. It seems to me from many years on these forums that you have as much if not more biblical qualification than most of these "apostolic" men. If you can find genuine biblical support and oversight for your congregation, get it. However, more often than not the added unseen episcopalian strings though would just get in the way of the simplicity that is in Christ. Can't do justice to this issue in th |
