Re: Greatest comeback in Superbowl history!!!

I dunno, Rick - I did not know that detail. Link: "The league declined to work with the phone company to retrieve the details of Brady's cell phone records because it was "simply not practical." That line and Goodell's effort to make it sound like Brady's phone was deliberately destro...

Re: Global Warming: Fake DATA!

Ed: Phil, if there was really smoking gun evidence that man-made climate change was a hoax, or even that it was no big deal, it would be plastered everywhere No! Because climate change is always going on, with many natural cycles. So, you can't really PROVE it EITHER way. Our data isn't comprehensi...

Re: Greatest comeback in Superbowl history!!!

Look, I don't really care. I admire Brady. The deal is, it came down to arguments over the subsequent scientific analysis, the two Patriots equipment employees who had made suspicious comments to each other - going back a year, who were in constant contact with Brady. Really, was the amount of the s...

Re: Gay Parades

It is important to note WHY Audacity has been permanently banned: Despite multiple warnings and even a recent temporary ban, much of Audacity's comments have contributed to spamming up the forum with argumentative and insulting posts and his constant attempts to stir up controversy. He's not been h...

Global Warming: Fake DATA!

OK, this article is in the Daily mail - a tabloid yes - but the story is factual and revealing about those amongst the manipulative climate scammers. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4192182/World-leaders-duped-manipulated-global-warming-data.html This doesn't mean that climate change ...

Re: Greatest comeback in Superbowl history!!!

I really didn't have a dog in the race. OK, so my wife is from New England, but I've nothing against the Patriots - other than how Brady lied about "deflategate." But as a player, he is a winner amongst winners. I figured that he'd had enough success - so why not let the lowly Falcons win ...

Re: A Beautiful Life - Almost Wasn't

What is sad is that an understandable difference of opinions conversation over abortion morphed into a discussion over the death penalty, that almost immediately turned into accusations of "perverting Scripture, hypocrisy, indoctrination, politics, and supposed bullying by those long-time on t...

Re: Gay Parades

because society, instead of loving them and accepting them, told them they were wrong. Why should that be an either or decision? If we are to believe Scripture, they ARE wrong. But so are all of us, concerning whatever sins that we prolifically embrace. But if one is practicing a lifestyle God warn...

Re: My journey

Simply awesome, Annette! I had been meaning to contact you to see what was going on - but I thought perhaps you needed some space. I was most concerned as to how you are treating your body ("God's Temple," as He lives within), and as this is obviously a time for optimum caring of your body...

Re: A Beautiful Life - Almost Wasn't

Mel, while I could have used a better word, please address the Scriptures indicated. WHY don't you believe them? Do you believe they speak against, rather than for, capital punishment? Do you not think God inspired them? Why do you think, concerning capital punishment for murderers, that Jesus preac...

Re: A Beautiful Life - Almost Wasn't

I would say Mel's problem is not with my beliefs, but with Scripture. Same God in both Testaments. Jesus confirmed the OT. Same God's commands about capital punishment. Same God's apostles affirming it. None of them or Jesus speak against it (actually, the opposite) - and a common practice of their ...

Re: A Beautiful Life - Almost Wasn't

Story: I am open to discussion and will willingly concede I'm wrong if I can be shown why. Philip, in that verse, does God say who he will be put to death by? Annette, READ through the links, which discuss the related Scriptures. The SCRIPTURES speak to the government putting a murderer to death. B...

Re: A Beautiful Life - Almost Wasn't

Mel, the second article goes through the NT passages relevant to the issue - so, ignore the NT if you wish - but I hope you wouldn't refer to passages taken from God's word as "B.S." And, the OT passages, including ones like Exodus 21:12 (""He who strikes a man so that he dies sh...

Re: A Beautiful Life - Almost Wasn't

Who said man is to use the death penalty? GOD! Genesis 9:6: "“Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed , for God made man in his own image." God gave the instruction BECAUSE he views human life as something precious, whcih was made "in HIS own image." Then, ...
