I would say the real cowards are those that hide under multiple IDs to conceal their shame. W/out multiple iDs, people like yourself would never be brave enough to mouth off. You are way too afraid to use your real SA ID to say these things, arent you?
Just because you were chased home everyday from school, doesnt mean you have to continue your life as a gutless twerp

I am not going to address the question of "free" will, because this is another issue altogether. I just do not have the time to go down that alley.
What some calvinists say is that if one does not accept that faith is a gift, then it makes the exercise of faith a work. This has always seemed ridiculous to me, but I have read it many times, and this is why I wanted some explanation from any Calv. as to what "works" are and how "faith" in particular could sit comfortably with any biblical definition of "works".

Don't forget that Adam was a man with a totally free will. Until the fall, this was the state of the human race.
Also you are in error with your words (taken from a hymn). God FORCES no-one. His way is far more gentlemanly.
Apart from that, yes I agree with Cowper.

Chris Lowney, Managing Director of JP Morgan, admits to having been a Jesuit, so I assume this is the basis for the charge. But what exactly is a "Jesuit bank?" One that practices high finance according to Jesuit doctrine? If so, how is that even possible, given the Jesuits' obsession with [URL=http://www.jesuit.org/SocialJustice/default.aspx]]]Social Justice[/URL] (shared with many alleged "Protestants")? I cannot imagine lending money to fund an ostensibly charitable activity.
For what it's worth, J.P. himself was a devout Episcopalian.

These folks are scary. Note how they misapply Is. 40:1-2.
These Zionists (I hate to use the term "evangelical") should beware: if an Iranian Prez can be thus indicted for such a "thought crime" by the UN, so can an American! I question the wisdom of the UN having such powers, which could as easily be used against those who teach the Gospel as the only way man can be saved, or against Israeli treatment of Palestinians. Remember how slippery the terms "genocide" and "terrorism" have become.
This is only one more example of "ends justifies the means" thinking among people who claim to respect God & His Law.

This is a lie from the pit of Hell. To hear partisan talking points on an ostensibly Christian website is absolutely disgusting. Every liar will have his place in the lake of fire, so I warn you to stop libeling Barack no matter how much you may not like him. I see we have many here who are selling their "conservative" souls to a partisan devil. Oh, normally you would agree with the Bible, but no that has to be thrown under the bus cause Sarah has stimulated your libido and the "alternative" just doesn't appeal to your personal tastes. Great excuse.

Locke is telling the truth anyhow! Sarah Palin needs to stay home and take care of her hurting baby!

Ordinarily, I would agree with you, but given the alternative, I think I would rather go with a gun toten, conservative woman than a representative of the beast (Joe Biden, RCC) and a representative of the false prophet (Barak Obama, Muslim). Don't worry about the baby; people of her socio-economic means don't raise children anyway - the nanny does.
