Thema: Re: It's not opinion it's fact, and it is covered in the constitution
(V): you have given an opinion of your point of view. I haven given you proof that your opinion is just that your opinion(but free speech) and that it is a right of free speech, The amendment doesn't say "except when someone has an opinion as to what is free speech"
Thema: Re: It's not opinion it's fact, and it is covered in the constitution
(V): You send a signal to your nerve in your throat and that makes a muscle reverberate and noise comes out and whala speech is formed and that is deemed free by the first admendment
It's not opinion it's fact, and it is covered in the constitution CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Übergeek 바둑이: so the government would have to communicate with tin cans and a string since they couldn't hire a phone or internet service, there would never be a new government building since they couldn't hire construction companies which would be alright since they couldn't move without hiring a moving company or have any furniture without contracting for the purchase of it. You see the government couldn't function with out hiring the private sector, but as I said before lobbyist are more the problem and also the private sector hiring family members of government officials (which goes hand in hand with lobbyist) is where the spending and corruption lies, private business would survive and prosper
Übergeek 바둑이: Obama took over banks and car companies and the health care industry, whereas halliburtan was a hired business, one is a lobbying problem and the other is a Kensian socialist takeover Big difference and I would agree with you that the lobbyist need to go
I think that it is time to agree to disagree and move on, I've been to churches that teach either way and I don't think either one is less christian than the other

Tuesday: you accepting verse 16 and discounting verses 17 and 18 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Tuesday: "speaking in tongues" isn't what some churches do now...that's a farce. The diciples were given knowledge of strange languages to go to other countries to preach the gospel. Ppl who babble are overcome with something that's for sure. Why does going into a church building suddenly give ppl some power to act like fools. They don't do that in public or at work or the grocery store.
it applies to your accepting part of a verse and discounting the rest
Tuesday: just out of curiosity, are you saying that everything that Jesus said and done for 32 years only applied for that 32 years, because you are telling us that what he said doesn't matter after he died
Tuesday: I beg to differ, I visited a church a couple of years where the minister began speaking in tongues during his sermon. as I recall he ruined a rather nice sermon,
My quick research is coming up with the same conclusion as art. Mark 16:9-20 is not in most reliable early manuscripts, although it is in the KJ and NIV versions, I'll have to do further research on this
and baptism has nothing to do with accepting Jesus in Christianity, John 5:24 "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. This verse clearly confirms that all that is needed to be born again and saved it to believe
: I think the answer to your question is also in the 14 the amendment, it's a line that gets forgotten all to often.
"all persons born or naturalized in the United states, AND UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF..."
That last line is what conveniently gets dropped, and is why babies of illegal aliens should not get get citizenship, that point was made clear by the authors of the amendment. and is why babies born outside of their country of citizenship should get their birthright from their parents country, not visa-versa
personally I do not think the law needs to be changed, only the judges who Ignore the Constitution in favor of their personal agenda, and the idiots in congress who fail to tell them "thanks for your opinion but take a hike as your opinion has no place here" Legally, the only jurisdiction the judges have is to rule the amendment constitutional or not, either way citizenship would not be allowed
Bernice:the current topic is relevant to to current events and therefore relevant to this board, as long as it does not get personal it is allowed, you are always welcome to not read the board for a few days
Thema: Re:I think a lot of the ratcheting up the rhetoric does center around stoking the fires of prejudice against Islam.

GTCharlie: not according to the muslim faith
Allah's Messenger called Ali [and said]: “Proceed on and do not look about until Allah grants you victory,” and Ali went a bit and then halted and did not look about and then said in a loud voice: “Allah's Messenger, on what issue should I fight with the people?” Thereupon he (the Prophet) said: ”Fight with them until they bear testimony to the fact that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger…” (Sahih Muslim 5917)

Thema: Re:I think a lot of the ratcheting up the rhetoric does center around stoking the fires of prejudice against Islam.
Jim Dandy: Muslim faith requires acts to get to heaven to live in sin where as in the christian faith you get to heaven by grace not by acts to live in a perfect place (no sin). Therefore, they cannot be the same god
