John UK...This is a very old conversation, and I understand that you having lived in the UK, it's hard to see us opposum loving Americans as peaceful... However, I would like to point out that using the OT for examples of how to protect ourselves, is not only correct, but vital in understanding that the WHOLE word is profitable for instruction... The majority of the books in the NT are not accounting history or God's favorability/disfavor to it. The Old Testament gives us great stories of God's blessing to those who defend the innocent from those who wish to harm them... Both testaments must be used to develop our understanding of Gods law, while at the same time, they generally cover different things... Due to our very small amount of New Testament history, we don't know if they participated in self defense, but we do know that they were willing to flee (a form of self protection) in many circumstances. In the case of a single shooter in a packed church, fleeing is not an option for most, but stopping the shooter is an option for those who have been trained and prepared to do so... |

Most wealthy...Most powerful... Most respected... Most broken homes... When a nation denies God, it wi be destroyed starting with the worse place possible. The destruction of the family... |

Presents, trees, good food, and decorations...All good things, but no reason to say they are used because Christ was born... The birth of the Savior is way to important to me, to "celebrate" it with presents (to ourselves), trees, good food, and decorations... Especially when we it's a replacement day for an ancient pagan winter festival... I love the holiday season, but simply because it's a cultural celebration when we do all the above mentioned things. I dont find it a good thing to throw Christ in there and say we are doing these unrelated things for Him... |

S. C. Says... The climate is changing. I live in Ohio and we are presently, in ,yet, another warm stretch of weather."I agree... The world is certainly experiencing a warm up to a small degree. The issue is; how much, how fast, and who's causing it... In my opinion, this very slight (a liberal estimate is 3ยฐ) warm up is simply part of an ever changing earth. Imagine a world that never changed. A world that never had melted ice, a land mass like Russia always having been in permafrost, and places like Ohio never being as warm as Florida (dont they call it paradise ๐)... The climates of the world will change, and have always changed. This would be stagnant, nasty world if the cycles of hot, and cold didn't exist. We certainly should be glad we are in a warm up, rather that a cool down. Otherwise, most of the "west" would be covered in a ice age style glacier. Much worse than the current cycle of slightly warm weather... |
