i can't believe this!! The guy was 14!!!! Was it sinful? Yes!! Is he the only teenager to behave this way? Uh.......DOUBT it!! Go to any junior or high public school and you'll probably see it happening in the halls between classes. I graduated in the 70's and it was happening in my school. I HATE the media. They are nothing but a bunch of wicked, bloodthirsty gossips who love nothing more than to dig up garbage from someone's past and ruin their lives. It's one thing if the sin is still going on, but this happened 12 years ago when he was a kid and maybe before he was even saved. Don't we all have sins in our past we wish we'd never committed and have been forgiven for by our Savior Jesus Christ?

Question: Is it okay for us to love the Duggars warts and all, and pray for them and thank God despite whatever their failures, imperfections and sins, they have a heart after God

What a wonderful God and Savior we have. He commands us both to love Him and to love our neighbors, especially if they are part of His family

Francis has to go as he is totally off of his rocker. He needs to resign and be replaced with a Pope that is conservative, against the false science of climate change and will tell the Archbishops to tell Catholics who support abortion, homosexuality and artificial birth control to either fall in line and be against abortion, homosexuality and artificial birth control or be excommunicated.

Now where he crosses the line to involve himself in US politics and foreign policy that would be another matter, as would any involvement with churches to promotes his false teachings and religion ... by the way that is why many of us don't give you a pass when you do something similar

So the Catholic doctrines of the Bible is the Word of God, that Jesus is God, that God is a Holy Trinity are all wrong and unscriptural?

And the Lord's Prayer, prayers to Jesus and the words of Jesus from the Last Supper are all unscriptural parts to the Mass?

Hopefully you can see the difference between whatever Joe Biden's opinion of homosexuality (does he misquote the Bible as many others do to promote his interpretation or agenda?) vesus what God Himself in the Bible says about it.

This is very similar to you imagining since the RCC makes statements regarding the Bible, Jesus Christ, "the Lord's prayer" they must be Biblical. So let me add my encouragement along with Christopher000's that you actually study the matter out. Humbly honestly apply yourself to 2 Tim 2:15

If you are honest I cannot help but think you will see there is an enormous difference between Scripture saying the Bible is the word of God (treating God's word as LAW that God expects to be believed and obeyed) and how the RCC has treated the Bible as a useful inspired book to be intermessed with its Traditions and teachings of the RC Magisterium

Have you purchased your copy of the Institutes yet?

Are you trying to tell me there is something seriously wrong, lacking and deficient with "Sola Scriptura" and the present day ministry of the Holy Spirit to teach and lead a child of God into all the TRUTH, into obedience to the will of God and what we really need John Calvin's "help"? (like the Galatians need circumcision to make them complete )

Again, since this thread is about the imperfect Martin Luther let me recommend the imperfect movie "Luther" (2003) it touches on Luther taking great pains to translate the Bible into German, during the time he was imprisoned for his own safe keeping. I've got a friend in TN who commended he thought is was a better movie than 'the Passion of the Christ' (Gibson's movie heavily into rc mysticism)

Dear friend. Please don't bait John. Too many of these threads have been ruined by turning every topic in to what you mentioned. You are a better man than that.

It is heartbreakingly a heavily ecumenical area. The Pro-Life community is infested with people of ecumenical bent are abusing genuine Pro-Life ministry to silence (hijack) a real preaching of the Gospel, because it "offends" false Christians of various denominations and is a wonderful antidote against a bewitching ecumenical unity between false Christians and genuine

BTW Imho "Babies are Murdered Here"

gives a far better Biblical Pro-Life consideration than the don't offend anyone sort

Hmmmm, I think I will remember smart phones in talking with people about idolatry. Hmmmm, as grieved as I am with Roman Catholic idolatry, seems a cell phone can be every bit as bad and/or worse than these bathtub shrines with their statues of Mary that some local Roman Catholics put up on their property

What a generation we're living in by being able to watch the end times approach right before our eyes, and at such a rapid pace. Now, I know much needs to happen before the end is upon us; much we need to witness, that is, if one is post-trib, but nobody can deny that it's tangibly closer than ever before. Almost like you can close your eyes and see the puzle pieces slowly putting themselves into place.

Choose Life that BOTH you AND your Babies may live (Deuteronomy 30:19)

The Heart of the Issue seems to be
1. Will we treat the Bible as merely a guide book of good suggestions?
or
2. Will we treat the Bible as a Law Book, to be trembled at because God Himself takes personal intererest in everything He says rightfully expecting to be believed and obeyed?

Small comment on Christians SERVING in government, ambitious to do good and what is right, and obtaining office from doing such and continueing to do good, right and serve is way different from seeking / compromising / scheming merely to be elected and pridefuly have some office or other

While I hate to depart from the subject of the article which is Clinton, I feel a response is necessary to remarks about what I said earlier. I in no way oppose Christians standing against error, but John Yurich's original comment was about Clinton. There was NO MENTION of Romanism by him until someone else brought it up first while attacking him.

And for your own peace of mind, perhaps you ought to realize the nerve JY has to post on SermonAudio writing the things he does while claiming to be a Christian walking in defiance of what Scripture says to us will provoke and rightfully draw responses from people here from time to time from people who love Jesus Christ and seek to be faithful to Him, and not see Him dishonored (others can probably word this better)

I heard a clip of Mrs. Clinton from I believe, 8 years ago and she was basically blasting the pro-choicers and preaching her pro-life stance.

"Babies Are Murdered Here" will touch on things that are sabotaging and betraying those who love Jesus Christ, who love the Truth and stand for it by those who don't love Him and the Truth that much, so much so they might possibly offend somebody

It is sad how parents allow government to say the children belong to government, and don't see what is actually going on. It's more than vaccinations

Because Imho turning our children over to the government and its schools which are anti-God by law, is like ancient Israelites giving their babies over to be burned alive to Molock and Baal, wickedly imagining that would be for their (parents) best

How about yourselves, have you had experience picketing outside your own local abortion clinics?

Let me highly recommend that you all humbly honestly prayerfully with an open Bible in hand watch

Babies Are Murdered Here

RC Sproul JUNIOR and others give a compelling and convicting message to all of us professing to be Christians who supposedly really really believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, but do we really?

Hillary Clintion as big an enemy as she is really isn't the problem, we professing Christains are, If God is for us (Oops! How can He be and bless us if we are against Him substituting man-centered fantasies of Christianity for the obedience of faith)

James 2:18
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.

BTW So you know I have much learning and growing, and as RC Sproul JUNIOR SAYS, "It is NOT safe" but it is obedient

Surely you yourself know all sorts of people, yourself included have the nerve to claim they are "Christians" for all sorts of reasons that seem so right to themselves, even saying a prayer in a relatives non-denominational church with no real change in their lives afterwards.

The Holy Spirit gives James in the Bible has an infinitely better way
