Jesus told the prostitute to go and sin no more. Mary Cheney is going to be raising a child in a sinful relationship.

And President Bush has publicly said that the best family structure is a mother and a father. Nothing has changed, but like Jesus, he still treats each person with dignity and tries to make the best of an imperfect situation. Bringing up the Mary Cheney issue is EXACTLY like when the Pharasees brought the adulterous woman before Jesus, trying to make political hay.

Are you aware of how many truly bible-based evangelical Christian churches have programs to work with single mothers? They don't change their belief and message that following a biblical lifestyle is always the best way to go, but they also are working to make the best of imperfect situations. They don't shout down and humiliate these pregnant girls and moms, instead they aid them and show Christ through how they treat them. Ministers, ministries, and missionaries all evangelize by working WITH sinners, not pounding them down in some sinner caste system. That doesn't mean rolling over and endorsing gay marriage or cohabitation or drug use or any other sin. But Jesus dined with the tax collector, worked with the unclean, and ministered to the lost. Kindness is an attitude, not a policy endorsement.

Diddle, you spoke right past Rb ver. 2.0. You're entire post did not logically address what he said.

"Bringing up the Mary Cheney issue is EXACTLY like when the Pharasees brought the adulterous woman before Jesus, trying to make political hay."

Who's bringing up the Mary Cheney issue? It's all over the news. Where do you think "go and sin no more" comes from? Diddle your so confused in this conversation.

How many truly bible-based evangelical Christian churches promote lesbian birthing or homosexual adoption?
