White, black, it's all the same to me as long as the woman in question is conservative, intelligent, and Catholic. For what office are you running?

She is PCUSA. I am Reformed Presbyterian and we are vehemently pro-life. The PCUSA is not that way. Rice is a good lady, regardless of her somewhat pro-choice leaning on this.....she is not a major pro-abort.

This seems more of a witness of how faith has changed her life than a true "testimony" per se. That would account for the difference.

This so-called testimony is not really such. A testimony describes how one came to faith. This is more about how her faith influences her life. I am not worried in the slightest about her not saying "Jesus" every 2 sentences. She has a unified view of God.

Yet again, the theme of the essay is not even truly a testimony. I do not know why the Layman chose to give this that title.

She said ..."I really do believe that God will never let his children fall too far. There is an old gospel hymn, "He knows how much you can bear." I really do believe that. I greatly appreciate, and so does the president, the prayers of the American people. You feel them. You know that they are there. If you just keep praying for us, it is so important to all of us."

Thanks for the education. I sometimes lose track of which denomination is which!

By the way: most Baptists do not consider their denomination to be Protestant.

Although I agree with your observations on mainstream Protestants' social gospel, as a Southern Baptist we *do* consider ourselves Protestant, just not mainstream.

In fact, most of the Baptist sources I've read claim that "Jesus was a Baptist" as well as all of the Apostles and saints of the early Church!

Baptists don't have saints.

I haven't studied it, but I thought the Baptists claimed to go back to John the Baptist. Weren't there seven churches "organized" by the followers of Christ during His lifetime?

I also think there are many different denominations that are called "Baptists." Missionary Baptists are quite different from Southern Baptists. I thought "Baptist" referred to those who believe in immersion baptism.

{"....A black woman with very high standards of behavior and a strong work ethic, who doesn't see race, just character...."}

My in-laws are Italian. I wonder how Italian-American freepers would react, if I described one of my female in-laws as "an Italian woman with very high standards of behavior and a strong work ethic, who doesn't see ethnicity, just character"?

I would be implying that high standards of behavior and a work ethic are somewhat unusual among Italians - why else would I praise my Italian in-law for having those virtues? And I would also be implying that the general trend among Italians is to see ethnicity rather than character - and thankfully, my Italian in-law is an exception to that cultural trend.

The vast majority of blacks in this country (75 percent) are middle-class. That fact does not get much attention in the media. Condy Rice wouldn't look out of place in the black community, which is mostly middle-class and hardworking.

But of course, Condy Rice is also a person of very high accomplishment, having attained greater personal success than the overwhelming majority of people of any race. For starters, she has a PhD degree. Less than 1 percent of all American adults, have PhDs. She has also published books, been the President of Stanford University, and has sat on the boards of large corporations.

As a card-carrying member of the International Jew-Jesuit-Stonecutter-Reptilian conspiracy myself, I consider my role to be more "deluder" than "deluded". You really bought into our story about the Trilateralists, for example. Please! That bunch of effete Ivy League snobs couldn't overthrow a preschool tea party!

FNORD

Now your 666° Gray Masons -- THEY know how to rule a world. You should seen the job they did on Mesopotamia back in 5758 B.C.! Man, those Nephilim cats were so bad God flooded the world to shut THEM down! Now THAT'S an evil international conspiracy !

My advice: drink more tap water, avoid colloidial silver and chondroitin at all costs, sell Reynolds Aluminum short, and relax. And if you notice a black limousine with diplomatic plates parked across the street from your residence for the next few weeks -- it ain't us, honest!

Sincerely,
B-chan

Baptists don't have saints.

Tell it to St. Paul!

"To all God's beloved in Rome, who are called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. " - [Rom. 1:7 RSV]

Yours in Christian fraternity,
B-chan

It set the elder son up not as somebody who had done all the right things but as somebody who had become so self-satisfied'; a parable about self-satisfaction, and contentment and complacency in faith, [and] that people who didn't somehow expect themselves to need to be born again can be so complacent.

To all those afraid she might be a "Deist" because she doesn't mention the name of Jesus, most "Deist"s don't mention the need to be "born again" either.
