I'm sitting in the car while my hubbie is pumping gas. I can see the guy take notice and take a couple of steps and then retreat and then he walks to the rear of our car. He says: "I get the "1-20-2013, but the "God willing" part is negative." Hubby's response was "I get what you mean." He didn't want to get into it with the guy. Course, after the guy is gone, we think of a... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2286211/posts#comment Mon, 6 Jul 2009 01:25:02 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/2284806/posts (Ephesians 2:10; Acts 4:12 ) King Obama became the first President to celebrate GAY PRIDE MONTH at the White House Monday night, warmly welcoming more 250 gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans "to your White House." As I told you prior to the election, this would be the most gay friendly President ever, a man who will help to advance the radical homosexual agenda in this nation. During his 18 minute talk, he spoke openly of his full support to help the radical homosexual movement gain all of the special rights they are seeking as they force society to accept...

Mary Ellen Heibel was treated at Johns Hopkins Hospital in 2004 and early 2005 for malignant tumors in her lungs, liver, stomach and chest. After she was diagnosed, Heibel began praying to Blessed Francis X. Seelos, and urging others to pray as well. www.foxnews.com http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2283311/posts#comment Wed, 1 Jul 2009 15:29:13 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2283155/posts In light of contemporay political and and social and religious conditions in the United States, I want to look at Psalm 2.

Dawkin’s argues that there is contradictory evidence to the existence of God while Maher pokes fun at the members of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, while simultaneously asking the usual theological questions. For example: Do you think that, if when you were a kid, they transposed the Bible stories with fairy tales, that you would know the difference as an adult? Yes Mr. Maher, I would. It...

We delved into what honestly struck me at first as a slightly odd question; but as the research and discussion progressed, I felt we all discovered two things. First, it’s easy to get tangled up in specific words and the perception and meaning we each infer/attach to them. Second, we don’t understand prayer as well as we thought.

Together, they ride the ark through 40 days and 40 nights of torrential rains that God unleashes upon the Earth. And when the waters subside, Noah and the animals return to land.

And if there is, what would be the theological implications of this fact? Many Christians have assumed that there could not be intelligent extraterrestrials, and that if some were discovered then this would somehow constitute a challenge to the Christian faith. But that apparently wasn't the view of Larry Norman, the father of Christian rock. Norman always sang about interesting, relevant and unusual topics. In his classic song "UFO" (off the album In Another Land) he likens the returning Christ to an "unidentified flying object". In keeping with...

And you're willing to admit it in public? Oops. Sorry, for a moment I slipped back into the arrogant Atheism of my youth. Before my parents had children, they decided to raise their kids in a secular home. We had gifts at Christmas time and chocolate covered matzoh during Passover, but there was no religion and certainly no God.

When he claimed he had done as much in that period as any president in history, my initial thought was for the first time in his life he was being modest. Frankly, I think he’s done more, much more, and I only wish that some of it had been good for America. He’s taken over car companies, banks and lending institutions. He’s printed so much currency that he’s the envy of counterfeiters and con men everywhere.
