JERUSALEM - In Israel's ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, where the rule of law sometimes takes a back seat to the rule of God, zealots are on a campaign to stamp out behavior they consider unchaste. They hurl stones at women for such "sins" as wearing a red blouse and attack stores selling devices that can access the Internet.

In recent weeks, self-styled "modesty patrols" have been accused of breaking into the apartment of a Jerusalem woman and beating her for allegedly consorting with men. They have torched a store that sells MP4 players, fearing devout Jews would use them to download pornography.

"These breaches of purity and modesty endanger our community," said 38-year-old Elchanan Blau, defending the bearded, black-robed zealots. "If it takes fire to get them to stop, then so be it."

How about this...Man needs absolutes to function. Those absolutes are from God. When a person is raised to believe there are no absolutes then they don't know how to accept absolutes. They don't live according to those absolutes so other people don't see those absolutes.

So, what am I saying? I don't think the number of Christians is declining. I think the number of people faced with the fact that Christianity is about absolutes have abandoned their "religion".

2Pe 2:22 It has happened to them according to the true proverb, "A DOG RETURNS TO ITS OWN VOMIT," and, "A sow, after washing, {returns} to wallowing in the mire."

Speaking of which...what do the results of the last election say about us?

What degree of being unclothed around each other is permitted to spouses before it becomes a sin against marital chastity? Assume that spouses can be unclothed during the marital act, although I've never seen this in writing. But what about incidental situations not related to the marriage debt, such as changing clothes in front of each other, sleeping in skimpy nightwear (or none at all), or even showering together? I'm currently bed confined due to surgery, and my wife has been washing me, but I was wondering if morality required that we get a male home health aide, as bed baths require me to be unclothed not in the context of the marriage act.

When I worked at a Children's hospital, I've seen a few children born as Hermaphrodites. Some, obviously, have both male and female organs, some are not so apparent - and the issue is not caught until years or decades later. Unless it is "obvious" at the time of birth, this person could very well have not been diagnosed.

I just find it so sad that sin had corrupted everything, including the very building blocks of life, DNA.

Atheists did you know happiness is a Christian concept?

So for all the atheists who claim to be happy I have news for you: Happiness and the concept of happiness was first mentioned in the Bible. Therefore, it is a concept originated by Christianity. Adam and Eve were happy in the Garden of Eden until they broke GOD's law and ate from the tree of forbidden fruit.

Happiness = GOD
Unhappiness = rejection of GOD's laws= atheism

Get happy and get with the Good News!

Is Christianity a cult like fstdt, randi.org, iidb.org and factnet.org? Is Christianity a cult at all or is proven? (as in the 4 Step Perfect Proof for God of the Bible). How can it be a cult if it is proven? I don't see how this is possible, since God created us and God is uncreated as proven.

I am banned at randi.org and iidb.org, but not factnet.org (not today anyway), and not fstdt (not yet anyhow). The reason they ban me is because they can't find anything wrong with the Proof for God and the love of the Lord in my life. Their owners and admins are jealous that I have what they will never have. They are jealous my Father in heaven has made my brothers and sisters in Christ the leading conscience on the planet.

[Article about Nigeria criminalizing gay people living together and anyone aiding them.]

Church groups spoke in favour of the bill, saying that gay marriage risked "tearing the fabric of society".

"In the Bible it says homosexuals are criminals," Pius Akubo of the Daughters of Sarah church told lawmakers.

Rev Patrick Alumake told the National Assembly the top leadership of the Catholic church in Nigeria supported the bill wholeheartedly.

"There are wild, weird, ways of life that are affecting our own culture very negatively, we have people who either by way of the media or travelling around the world have allowed new ideas which are harmful to our nation and our belief," he said.

...

Children wearing T-shirts that said "Same sex marriage is un-natural and un-African", and "same sex marriage is an abomination" stood in the aisles of the committee room.

Ekaette Ettang, of the Daughters of Sarah church who provided the T-shirts, denied they were inciting hatred against homosexuals.

"We don't hate gay people, but this is the public's opinion and we have the right to speak," she said.

There's been a considerable number of expeditions to Mt. Ararat in Turkey, looking for evidence of Noah's Ark. Mt. Ararat still is an 'active volcano' & very rugged, only strong climbers were permitted to climb... I've been laughing, thinking about Mrs. Noah protesting--"Please Noah, Don't Push the Animals out of that Ark Door!! They'll all fall down, & break their legs!!" So now, I'll guide you to a Web-site, where they've found 12 'Anchor-Stones' from the Ark, that weigh about 2 tons apiece, and the "Largest Pottery-Mold in the World", where a 550 ft Ark sat, at 6400 ft. above sea-level about 17 miles south of Mt. Ararat, near a town, which was 1st called "Mesha" in the Bible, Gen.10: 30-- ("Mesha" translated from ancient Hebrew, means "Saved from the Water".) Later, the name of the town-- later changed to "Naxuan". (Evidently, the Elephants aboard, were used to help 'Deploy' those "Stone-Anchors"....) Be sure to click on "Slide-show", & once you've seen all of that, then click the tool-bar where it says "Noah's Ark", & once you've seen where the Ark was about 1/2 size of the Titanic, then click on "Naxuan" to see the hundred's of house-foundations they found there.... Type In-- www.noahsark.com-naxuan or just click on what I've just typed, it's quite revealing to the un-schooled----be sure to read all of it you can, & remember, that today, we use limestone to make cement--and that we do know of Limestone Caves, like Carlsbad Caverns, where we can see the cementing actions of stagamites, & stagalites that are formed by dripping water, & imagine mixing lime-water into a Clay-mud--base to harden into a 17' high adobe- brick 500 ft long, where the Ark sat--(Yes, the Ark, being made of wood--did "ROT AWAY"!), but the Clay-mud, it sat upon--DID NOT!!

(mominohio: Is it a sin for mom's To be a little sad about the forth coming rapture? I love Jesus with all my heart and soul, but a piece of me feels sad that I won't see my boys grow up.)

The way I think about it is I would rather my son be in Heaven with Christ then here on the faulty earth. While Im here with him I will make the best of it but if I dont see him grow up completely its ok as I know we will be with Jesus then

As for being pregnant in the rapture, well I am pregnant now too and I have always thought how cool it would be to be pregnant and not have to give birth, that the baby would just poof be there. for some reason thats how I could see the rapture! Will it happen in the next 9 mo, who knows but either way I know that its in Gods hands and I trust him 100%

I was a self-described Liberal until I was saved. Afterward God began to dismantle the societal brainwashing that had skewed my moral compass my entire adult life. It was painful and shameful to see the godless worldview I had proudly espoused for so long.

So to bluntly answer the OP question: liberalism results from the absence of biblical truth in one's life.

btw, don't allow the moral relativists on this thread or anywhere else to tell you the definition of liberalism is a matter of personal opinion. It's a black & white issue.

[On Sarah Palin Explains Why Women Should Be Forced To Bear Their Rapists' Babies]

Actually no you don't because the rapist gets at least 20 years in prison. You get nine months of a natural process that you can endure. He doesn't have to live with a forced birth, but he does have to live with forced anal rape in prison. See, all you can think about is yourself. You are selfish to think of only your wants, and you're evil to disregard an innocent child's needs AND rights.

Kadster : For once California did something right. I am sick of the openly gay and lesbians around me, it is disgusting, I miss the good old days (Or what i heard about them at least) where gay was illegal.

buddybaer : The lesbian student will probably find a jew lawyer and sue for violating her civil rights.That's a common jew tactic.

(What are Liberals?)
They are the stupid of the country who believe the professors in the Universities to hate America. They are usually anti-GOD and Pro-abortion and Pro Gay and anything that feels good at the moment. They are the dumb of the dumb. The dumb and dumber !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They also believe in evolution that every thing exploded and everything is the way it is because of it.You and I came from the sea and eventually grew arms and legs and became man and woman. In other words they don't believe in a GOD. This is what we have running our country today. The usurper President who is Muslim is destroying our country and the dumb put him in office and now he is tired because he likes to party. This has to be the dumbest leaders we ever had in office.
I could go on and on but I am getting sick to my stomach.

>>>'There's nothing amusing about blasphemy '
But at least it's a victimless crime.<<

It might appear so, to you. For those who acknowledge that respect and authority are important, it is a sign of the disintegration of society which leads to anarchy and all manner of evils, including rape, GBH and murder.

The consequences of 'lack of respect' for (the possibility of) the supreme being, leads to wives not respecting husbands, men not respecting leaders, leaders not respecting
ie. complete turmoil

AN EARTH-SHATTERING CALAMITY IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. IT IS GOING TO BE SO FRIGHTENING, WE ARE ALL GOING TO TREMBLE - EVEN THE GODLIEST AMONG US.

For ten years I have been warning about a thousand fires coming to New York City. It will engulf the whole megaplex, including areas of New Jersey and Connecticut. Major cities all across America will experience riots and blazing fires—such as we saw in Watts, Los Angeles, years ago.

There will be riots and fires in cities worldwide. There will be looting—including Times Square, New York City. What we are experiencing now is not a recession, not even a depression. We are under God’s wrath. In Psalm 11 it is written, “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (v. 3).

God is judging the raging sins of America and the nations. He is destroying the secular foundations.

finally!!!! someone who is in a position to say what needs said!!!! the defination of a patriot is someone who will defend his/her country against all enemies, EVEN ITS OWN GOVERNMENT. IF STATES WERE TO LEAVE THE CURRENT UNION TO ADOPT THE IDEALS THAT FOUNDED THIS NATION, I WOULD GO THERE! this country is no longer a nation of the people, by the people, and for the people. it has ceased to be a theocracy and has become something akin to a socialist government.

ask youself this, if it came down to the will of the people or the will of the government, who do you think would rule out? if the american people as a whole rose up against the government, do you really think the government would say the will of the people be done? no, they would respond with immediate military action, declare martial law, assume absolute power (as if they dont already have it), and execute any leaders of the resistance as traitors.
I whole heartedly agree, this nation needs a change of guard.

[About the Peace symbol]

Let me ask you this? Why would anyone want nuclear disarmament? Why would someone not want us to use that which God has given us to destroy our, and his, enemies? Have you not noticed it was Christian countries who developed nuclear weapons? How can you ignore that it was God himself who provided the materials with which to build these weapons and then granted Christian nations the wisdom to develop them? If the muslim god or the buddhist god were the true God, I think we'd see muslim or buddhist nations as the nations who invented these weapons. As it is, the only reason they have them is because someone was a traitor to their God and their country and provided these heathens with the ability to build these weapons.

More proof that our President has an agenda to ban any iota of morality left in this country. This country is sick with sin, and many are still in their sin induced coma. Mr. Obama, may the Lord have mercy on you, and may you yet come to repentance. I shudder to think this man is leading us. I will say it again, he is NOT MY president. It becomes more difficult each day to celebrate being an american. Instead, I mourn for the greatness of this country that was.
