And ironically, Jesus was without sin, and didn't need a baptism to remove sin.
No one said that God wrote the Bible, only that the Bible is the inspired word of God.
The first amendment was intended to keep government out of religion.I don't want them to endorse any doctrines.However, Obama and his ilk have an obvious war declared on Christians and are holding Islam in high esteem.I see a real problem with that.I am a Christian, I attenda Southern Baptist church, but I do not claim to be a Baptist.Jesus did not found a religion.But just as government cannot and should not try to legislate morality, they should keep their noses out of the hallowed halls of the faithful.
But you did respond, didn't you?I knew you couldn't resist.
Jeff, I've missed you.Are you quoting things from the huffington post?Once again, your all knowing, all seeing mind is spewing someone else's rhetoric.But hey thanks for the useless info.
Well Ted, I guess you should be living somewhere holier than America.It is my considered opinion that God was instrumental in the drafting of both the Declaration and the Constitution.You keep talking of Yahweh's morality.Don't you not remember that we are all sinners and come short of the glory of God.There has only been one perfect man since the beginning Adam (before he sinned), and that was Jesus the Christ.Comparing a man made document to "Yahwh's perfect morality" is a exrcise in futility at best.One more thing, just because something is divinely inspired does not imply perfection.No, I am not a Mormon, not that it matters.You sir are looking for spiritual perfection among human sinners.You must be so very disappointed all the time, as there is no one spiritually perfect.If you want to look for the totla antithisis of the Constitution, look to Islam.
Jeanine is correct Ted. Our/America's founding fathers were constantly, and intently seeking God's divine wisdom as they were in contemplation of the drawing up and discussing the Declaration of Independence and later, the Constitution. I would venture to say all of them prayed for God's infinite grace during their meetings. You must understand that every man who signed the Declaration of Independence knew wholeheartedly that they were in fact signing their own death warrant. "We pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor." Truly these men were inspired through Divine Providence. In essence, simply because the Constitution does not read like the Holy Bible, doesn't mean it wasn't Divinely inspired. Unlike today's congress, our founders had a number of things in common: They were God fearing men, and they prayed together for God's wisdom and grace. I would venture to say, "All was well with their souls."
Okay, Okay, Okay hoss, I've already ceded to your most obvious superior intellect. However, if you truly believe that God should be separated from state, then you must believe that state is your god. In my life, God comes first, and always first, especially before the state. God should be consulted in all things prior to decision making, either in ones own life or that of ones state governing position. If you in your alleged Sunday school leadership and your Deacon-ship aren't teaching that the Lord comes before all things, then you have led your sheep astray. Your resume' doesn't impress me, as mine is of a similar stature. However I teach that the Lord comes first indecision making, always and without exception. Therefore, church must be included in state, and not separated from it.
hey, slow down big fella, I can't keep up with your insults, you must be way smarter than I am.I yield to your greater intellect, not!
Hey do you know Jeff Dixon?You should get together with him, as both of you are constant spewers of inane rhetoric.You wouldn't know a fact if it slapped you in the puss.God Bless You, even if you don't believe in Him.I will keep you in my prayers hoss.
