  1. A hypothetical situation. "John" was subjected to various indignities and insults from public servants from the city and county for no reason other than he was a soft target. Later, John planted a church with a building built for holding worship services soon after. With impending local and national elections drawing near John was approached by public officials and asked it the church could be used to where people can come and vote, in other words, a polling place. Because John is a strong proponent of separation of church and state, and because of the insults suffered by public officials in the past, his mind is to tell them in so many words No. If John were to give a reason, he would say that he doesn't want any of his people to be exposed to such Machiavellian arrogance as he was. Would he be right or wrong to refuse to have his church used as requested?
  2. For what it's worth there is a difference between turning the other cheek and going into a potentially hostile situation. Or don't you agree?
  3. And they've chosen not to respond to one in which I was involved in. Not a good choice in my opinion.
  4. They've responded to accidents as minor as this.
  5. Not gonna happen for two very good reasons: 1. As I've noted before the police are so defensive that any attempt to engage them in conversation is met with an attitude bordering on insulting! 2. My previous encounters with public servants has left me with the firm resolve to avoid any and all contact with public servants whenever possible.
  6. It didn't. There was a witness and the driver that ran into me claimed responsibility. So would I.
  7. The accident occurred in the middle of the street well away from any private property and parking lots.
  8. Not gonna happen! These days the police are so defensive that any attempt to engage them in conversation is met with an attitude!
  9. Last year I was involved in an accident and when I called 911 they refused to sent the police. My question is if I should be invited to a police function by the police would it be OK for me to refuse to attend and state why due to their refusal to show up at the accident?
  10. Would you buy a Bible from a Christian company in which one of its subsidiary companies published a book supporting homosexuality?
  11. I was reading "Old Paths" by J. C. Ryle and in it he wrote "I have a right to say that anyone and everyone may be saved." J. C. Ryle was a Calvinist and I thought Calvinists believed that only the elect were or would be saved or am I wrong?
  12. My mother passed away last week and I just received a card from people from a business where I work with money in it. I know people include money with birthday and anniversary cards and the like. What I would like to know is is it usual or normal to include money with sympathy cards?
  13. When a person wants to do something for the Lord regardless what that something is should that person wait on God or proceed to do it? Should we wait on God or as some say "You can't steer a parked car."?
