@Dominic Enyart maybe you can answer this?

Thanks for completely missing the point.

Casting people out of the kingdom is bad form, especially considering you posted in the "Exclusively Christian Theology" forum...

When cops tell you to stop moving, and to get on the ground, you should do so, for your own safety. This is exactly what you SHOULDN'T do:

Sure. Yet you aren't going to get very far on TOL if you're not even willing to consider that you might be wrong about some things. That's debatable. Just because it's not in the Bible doesn't mean I can't defend my beliefs. Who said they agreed with me? I was just stating that you...

By the way, if your position is defeated by "hyperbole and soundbite," then maybe your position isn't all that you crank it up to be. That is exactly what you promote, whether you recognize it or not. When the government steps in, it teaches parents that they can rely on the government to pick...

No, because it IS so. Such things are destructive to society. No, it's not. Because they've gotten used to living on the government's teat, instead of working harder to provide for themselves. Or in the case of women, relying on a man to provide for her, while she cares for her children...

False. So why go with something that teaches parents to be less responsible and loving to their children, something you have completely ignored so far. There's no such thing. Says the one who thinks killing the baby is an option. I want the parents to be responsible and care for their...

Saying it doesn't make it so. This ain't my first rodeo with a new member on TOL, Hat. You're the typical "God doesn't change, the Body of Christ is spiritual Israel" believer. We've had plenty of those. Your arguments are not new, so simply quoting a verse or two in support of your position...

In other words: By providing such welfare programs, you encourage irresponsible and unloving parents to be more unloving and irresponsible, because they know the government will pick up the slack. That's EXTREMELY unhealthy for society.

I get what you're saying, but if you're becoming a Christian for the heavenly rewards, your priorities need adjusting. It's not about the rewards. It's about relationships, with God, and with other believers.

I'm not shouting. I'm frustrated because this is so easy to understand, yet you show no interest in even trying to understand. NO. Leaving one's baby outside in freezing temperatures is not murder, period. Refusing to bring them back inside (or to provide warmth to the baby) shows intent...

Saying it doesn't make it so. No. A child has the right to life. That life should be protected by his parents, by them providing what he needs to live. Beyond that, nothing is guaranteed. This can be achieved without a government program. This is said government program. No, because it...

Then don't make ridiculous claims such as "Your personal version of the Bible is so grossly inept". Good for you. No, it doesn't. No Bible does. Yes, if you are going to insist on changing the subject to something that is not related to the topic of this thread, you need to start a new...

It shouldn't, because needs aren't rights. Because it's not true. The United Nations doesn't trump God. False.

TOL is a mainline Christian board. Just because it doesn't hold to the beliefs you consider correct doesn't make it heretical. I use the NKJV. If you have a problem with that, then that's on you. The tags under my name have nothing to do with my theology. Start a new thread. Ad hominem...

NO, Anna, I'm talking about THE LITERAL REMOVAL OF THE BABY. I'm not using it as a euphemism. I mean EXACTLY what I say. REMOVING the baby IS NOT MURDER unless you INTENTIONALLY STOP TO KILL THE BABY. The law allows for the murder of the baby. This "exception" means a baby is killed, not...

No, that's not what it means. Saying it doesn't make it so, and scripture says otherwise. Appeal to the stone. (That's a logical fallacy, by the way. You might want to look it up.) False. Oh boy, you're one of those types. God does change. You have to ignore most of the Bible to think...
