inflammatory statements about terrorist acts & mass murder = a guy saying he doesn't support gay marriage. priceless dude.

To be fair, the CEO of Chick-Fil-A expressing his personal religious views does not equal actual discrimination. If you think it does, explain how.

Way to stereotype an entire group of people. Tell you what, why don't you submit your opinion on the subject and contribute to the topic at hand or butt out. Stereotyping is just as bad as racism and group hatred. They all go hand in hand, in fact you can't have one without the other.

Ah, so anyone that expresses a strong and heartfelt opinion based upon his own experiences is arrogant? Got it. I guess anyone that argues a point here is also arrogant?

It's not my group. I haven't been running it for many months now.
As for an invite, I dislike her. She lies.

Prove it. Use the search function and find the quote. You can't, can you? Because it NEVER HAPPENED.
You can't even admit you were wrong. You're nothing but a liar and a slanderer.

It isn't a "New Age Christian Thinking". It is the word of Jesus himself.
What is the New Covenant?
What does the word mean?
The word covenant means:
"a written agreement or promise . . . between two or more parties, especially for the performance of some action" (Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary).
This word expresses the fundamental meaning of both the Old Testament Hebrew word berith (Strong's Concordance #H1285 meaning a compact or contract between two parties) and the New Testament Greek word diatheke (Strong's Concordance #G1242 meaning a contract)
"The covenant . . . is an act of grace on God's part for reconciling man to himself, but man's response should not be overlooked" (Smith's Bible Dictionary).
What is the first agreement between God and man?
God created man with the potential to have a relationship with Him (Genesis 1:26-27). He has therefore initiated many conditional and unconditional agreements with man. Since God wants us to obey Him, many of these contracts stress the necessity of obedience as a condition to receiving what He promises.
The first Biblical mention of a covenant between man and his Maker is found in Genesis 6 where God promises to spare Noah and his family from the impending worldwide deluge:
"But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall go into the ark - you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you." (Genesis 6:18, NKJV throughout)
Although this was primarily an act of God's grace (Genesis 6:8), Noah's responsiveness to God was also a significant factor (Genesis 6:9). God also promised to never again destroy the earth with water:
"And God said: 'This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
"'I set My RAINBOW in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign . . . It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the RAINBOW shall be seen in the cloud . . . the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. " (Genesis 9:12-15)
Why is it a NEW Covenant?
Jeremiah 31 prophesies:
"'Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a NEW covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah — not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt . . .
". . . I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.' ” (Jeremiah 31:31-34)

Mankind sins daily. Homosexuality is just one of a myriad of sins. That sin is no different than looking at a pretty girl and wishing you could have her. They all will condemn you. You seem hung up on some sins being worse than others. They are all equally bad.

You really need some lessons on the Christian faith if you want to try and talk about it. First of all, the old testament is the Jewish bible. It is included with the New Testament for context and history. Christians no longer "follow" it as what God commands us to do. Gods relationships to man is a series of "Covenants". The first one was with Adam and Eve. The next was with the sons of Noah. The last one was with the Son of God, Jesus, with mankind. This is the last and only applicable covenant that Christians are required to follow. All of the nonsense in the old testament about stoning gays was overturned with the New Covenant in Christ Jesus. Jesus taught us to forgive one another as He has forgiven us. We do not hate anyone including the gay people. In reality a true Christian is required to forgive EVERYONE that sins, regardless of the "severity" of the sin.
Oh, one more thing. A sin is a sin. There are no "big time" sins. Murder is the same as a lie. Both will prevent a human from gaining entry into heaven. That is why Jesus died on the cross. He took on the sins of the world so we could all be forgiven. "No man comes to the Father except by the Blood Of Christ".

**** baiting thread closed ****

He bowed to a Saudi Prince and apologized to the world for the US.

East German socialism anyone ?

yes i know what amnesty is. if his legal obligations had not been met, the IRS would be all over him. they are not. common sense tells you he has met his obligations.
i talked to john & jane last night. they feel he deserves to be president as much as a domestic terrorist, racist, criminal crony that does drugs does. if only the loony left zealots could see the hypocrisy they display.

you do realize if he was not within the law the IRS would be all over him. you realize John and Jane Average on Main Street don't care about his taxes. only the far left zealots care, because they think it deflects attention from obama's incompetence & horrific record in the white house. its quite telling that the liberal bigots dismiss obama's ties to radical domestic terrorist(ayers), racist(wright), criminals(rezko), and drug addicts(choom anyone?). yet romney doing what everyone else with money was doing at the time is a big deal. god they're pathetic.

The President is right. That's why the Second Amendment even exists. It's not there so people can hunt or shoot beer cans. It's there to enable the citizens to be citizen-soldiers should that become necessary.
