No Christian would praise any other religion. All other religions lead people to hell. To defend other religions is to encourage people into hell. By his "fruit" alone, it is easy to judge that Obama is no Christian. Also, no Christian would encourage abortion and homosexuality as he does

I guess you missed this verse: "Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." (Romans 5:1) If that is the case then we are all doomed. No mortal man, through his own efforts, can ever measure up to God.

I think future historians will look back on the Obama years as one of the darkest times in American history.

God requires sinless perfection for one to enter Heaven. Scripture teaches us, that on our own, we can never be perfect enough to gain salvation. That's why Jesus had to come and die in our place. Only His sinless, perfect blood could blot out our sins. His righteousness is placed into our account - through repentance and faith - thus insuring our acceptance before a Holy God.

I'd suggest to Nat Geo that perhaps they might make a film with anyone playing the role of Mohammed, but I'd feel bad for making them all faint in terror.

I think the government is fearful of revoking tax exemption for churches because they wouldn't want unrestrained preaching against "certain" politicians and party.

Great article! Thanks Fez!

The government has no authority to tell preachers what to preach, nor whom they can marry. Tax exemption has more to do with a church endorsing politicians.

Pastor Defines His Identity Not in His Same-Sex Attraction, but in Christ NPR featured a surprising story for last week’s Weekend Edition Sunday about a pastor who has same-sex attraction but married a woman. Rachel Martin of NPR interviewed Allan Edwards and his wife Leeanne, who are expecting their first baby in July. Allan pastors Kiski Valley Presbyterian Church in Pennsylvania, a congregation in the conservative Presbyterian Church in America denomination. Allan explained how he wrestled with attraction to men in high school, but he waited until college before he opened up about it. Although he expected his friends at his small Christian liberal arts college to ostracize him, he experienced quite the opposite: “I actually was received with a lot of love, grace, charity: some confusion, but openness to dialogue.” When Rachel asked why he didn’t just join a Christian denomination that welcomes same-sex relationships, he explained that he really considered it. But his interpretation of the Bible compelled him to do otherwise. “The center of Christianity is the Bible,”he proclaimed, and starting from this premise he studied whether the Scriptures permitted homosexuality. He concluded that he could not simultaneously follow the Bible and his same-sex attraction, “I studied different methods of reading the Scripture and it all came down to this: Jesus accepts the rest of the Scripture as divine from God. So if Jesus is who he says he is, then we kind of have to believe what he believes." Key paragraph: Allan provides a noteworthy example not only to believers wrestling with same-sex attraction but to any Christian who has desires that conflict with Scripture: and that’s all of us! First, he opened up about it with other believers who could provide encouragement and grace. Second, he resolved to follow God’s Word even if it clashed with his desires. And third, he determined to define himself not by his desires but by how God defines him: a redeemed disciple of Christ.

Until our government can call Islam what it is, a terrorist ideology, we can never hope to win against it.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it applies to Paul's time and ours. There has always been a spirit of antichrist around, and for people of any time who reject Jesus, they are open to any and all delusions and lies.

In this day and age, God speaks to believers through His word - the Bible.

What do you guys think the best web browser is? I just started using Opera. It's lightning fast and easy for someone like me who is not very technically minded.

I tend to pray to the Father, but since Jesus said He and the Father are One, I look at it as praying to all that/who God is.

I think the "peace" that Muslims refer to is; if you don't convert or pay the tax, you'll "rest in peace."

Weird how their agenda goes right out the window when it directly affects them in a negative way. So, shut up, and pay up!

Liberal Democrats are Christian in name only. There's no way around it. They can't wholeheartedly support the things that God hates and still belong to His family.

Won't happen. The only aid Obama cuts is for the working middle class in America.

What a beautiful song!

Well, the good news is I did lose a little weight on Jan 4th! (I'm on my soon-to-be-failed New Years diet.)

Seriously, the only reason the PA wants to be part of the ICC is to harass, intimidate, and punish Israel at every turn. The ICC will ignore war crimes committed by the PA and other Islamic factions, and zero in on alleged Israeli crimes. My guess is, the ICC will welcome the PA with open arms. Heck, the UN allowed China to head the Human Rights Council after all!

The love of money is indeed the root of all evil.

I think it simply means a Jezebel "spirit" - meaning a woman having a spirit of rebellion who exaults herself above the natural order.

Everyone wants to feel wanted and included, but the danger comes when one is a part of an exclusive group, some people naturally get excluded. Have you considered perhaps joining a bible study group at your church?

Hi! Are you sinning less than you were a year, six months, or even a month before? If so, you're growing. When you don't want to do something you know is wrong, but you do it anyway. Simply rest in Christ. Lay your burdens upon His shoulders. I find peace by quietly talking to Jesus as I would my best friend. Some Scriptures you may find helpful: Psalm 46:10 Psalm 62:1-2 Hebrews 13: 6 Isaiah 41:9-10 Psalm 56:3-4 2 Timothy 2:13 Joshua 1:9 Proverbs 18:10 Psalm 91:14-16 Jeremiah 29:11 Psalm 119:49-50 Psalm 9:9-10 Romans 8:28 Hope this helps!
