And I just saw (and videotaped) blatant evidence ot that just now during the prayer service at the football stadium in NY.

Someone (a firefighter, I think), was introduced who got up and quoted the words of Paul in the last 5 verses of Romans 8 (verses 35-39).

Well .... all the words in those verses .... EXCEPT for one minor little detail; the last seven words in verse 39.

Of course that was done so as not to "offend" anyone.

I wonder if the young man who read those verses even knew that the last seven words were DELIBERATELY excluded. I'm betting he didn't.

I've been watching in vain for "the _whole_ Truth of God" to be spoken .... AT LEAST .... out of the mouths of those who profess to speak and teach in the name of the *Christian* God.

ESPECIALLY since, "Christianity ___IS___ the Lord Jesus Christ."

Oh yeah .... the part of verse 39 he quoted was: ".... nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God" but left out: "WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD."

Those who left out that part, fear men more than God.

It concerns me too that President Bush — whom I support, like, and admire — also omitted those words in the national prayer service. I share your concern.
