Bible scripture does not belong on the politics forum.
Please keep your religious beliefs to the faith forum where it belongs.
Religion doesn't belong in politics, Church-lady.
.
which scripture is it?
Where Jesus says that the road to heaven is narrow and difficult? Most will not travel it.
Read. The. Scripture.

oh stop with the scripture
To anyone outside of your belief system it's jibberish. The fact that you can't see this gives anything you say even less credibility.
This is a misuse of the scripture Lu...
What was being said was that you should not fear speaking out about your faith because even though people can kill you they cannot kill your soul. The only one who can destroy your soul is the one who created it - God. Basically he was saying you should fear disobeying God more than fearing speaking out about your faith, because Jesus commanded us in the Great Commission to GO and TELL the gospel message.
Not trying to pick a fight at all, just wanted to point that out to you! Take care!
The scripture you quote................
Please take the time to give the context of the verse, if you know it....
It has to do with AFTER Armageddon. Those who are not obedient to what Jesus says will be destroyed and the righteous will have the time to live on, on Earth.
I'll help you out some more because I really do want you to understand this verse; I am not being glib about this...
(Psalm 37:9) For evildoers themselves will be cut off, But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth.
(Psalm 37:11) But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.
(Psalm 37:29) The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it.
(Psalm 37:34) Hope in Jehovah and keep his way, And he will exalt you to take possession of the earth. When the wicked ones are cut off, you will see [it].
Now, I could go on and on, but nowhere in the Bible does it tell me to go out and kill EVERYONE who does not believe in God; it tells me to love them as I would love myself. And it certainly does not tell me to go out and kill Muslims just because they are Muslim, as the Islamic teaching does of killing Christians and Jews, JUST because they are Christians and Jews.
Not a tactic, just scripture. Take it or leave it.
And you are the one shaming Christianity -- if you truly claim to be one.
She was in state politics at the time, not national politics......
how much foreign policy experience did Bill have when he went to the presidency having only been a governor? The same as Sarah Palin. Because he was concentrating on his job...the state of Arkansas (and Paula Jones and what was that stripper's name?). Sarah Palin was concentrating on the state of Alaska.
Good grief. lol. Why don't you poll all the governors in all the states in the union and ask them how much they think about foreign policy?
I believe Satan quoted scripture to Jesus, didn't he?
In fact, if I'm not entirely mistaken altogether, Satan is entirely capable of appearing as an angel of light. How he must laugh at our cartoon images of him with horns and a tail when in fact he probably looks much more like...well, like...perhaps someone not so very different from Obama, or perhaps Nancy Pelosi.
I came across this scripture today when I was studying. These are the words of Jesus Christ
from the book of Matthew Chapter 10 Verse 28:
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in he!!.
What was it that Oprah called Obama again? The One?
When he said we do not belong there he was
and about Bush's bogus war against a country that never attacked us and had nothing to do with the Taliban. Bush started out pretending to want to get bin Laden. Remember wanted, dead or alive? He then quickly abandoned that and focused on the fake war in Iraq because he obviously didn't want to get Usama Bin Laden, dead or alive.
Obama instead said we need to focus on Usama Bin Laden because he was the one who was responsible for 9/11.
**A worsening war in Afghanistan — and a growing Taliban and al-Qaida insurgency in the tribal areas of nuclear-armed neighboring Pakistan — will loom large on the agenda for President-elect Barack Obama during the next four years.
On the campaign trail, Obama argued that the war in Iraq has drained troops and resources from the battlefield in Afghanistan, causing the situation there to deteriorate. He has described Afghanistan as "the war we need to win," and he has pledged to send at least two more brigades of U.S. troops to reinforce the 70,000 U.S. and NATO forces already serving in the country.
Obama has also pledged to press NATO allies to contribute more forces, and he has said he will step up training for the Afghan army and police, as well as increase non-military aid to Afghanistan by $1 billion.
"When I am president, we will wage the war that has to be won," Obama vowed, outlining his plans in an Aug. 1, 2007, speech at the Wilson Center in Washington, D.C. "(But) the first step must be getting off the wrong battlefield in Iraq, and taking the fight to the terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan." **
beware of any of them who belong to the CFR
Obama was asked if his wife was a member of the Counsel of Foreign Affairs and I saw him refuse to answer more than once.....
Go research this CFR organization......you'll see - as I read it - it's involved with the New World Order........New American Century and all that jazz.....scary, to tell ya the truth.....as a liberal -
Well said. I don't belong to either party.
I just hope that the country can survive the 4 years. If Obama doesn't tax and spend us into a real depression or turn us into Venezuela north, perhaps it will.
But at least I will have the small comfort in knowing I had nothing to do with putting him in the White House.
Who does Israel belong to? So you are saying
the U.N. overstepped its bounds? And what about the United Kingdom that controlled the area in the early 1900s?
Like it or not nations are formed through civil war. There are winners and there are losers. It's really very simple. The process has not changed for centuries and it will never change. The strong prevail. The righteous prevail. The minute we take a liberal viewpoint, that's the exact minute we become weak.
Maybe it was deleted because it didn't belong there. sm
And also because it does not address the post you reference at all! Many of his posts still remain, so this is just silly.
The 'inexperienced boobs' belong to

Both my daughers belong to a service
organization that does things in the community year round. In fact, my oldest daughter got a scholarship at a private college mainly because of her community service. I believe that community service teaches our young people to give something back to the community to help those less fortunate. It is a very good plan in my opinion.
... and half of them belong in JAIL.
Thank you. Then you admit these posts DO belong
Appreciate the support.
those people need to stay where they belong
who are they to want a better life
Keep it in church - it doesn't belong in government.
their unwavering belief, Christians are NOT the center-of-the-Universe.
Your CHURCH doesn't belong in America's

Denial is where we belong in the face of such lies.

Doesn't this belong on the racism board? Sick of hearing it. nm

so just why is it that you are on this forum?
I think this forum is a
more like a place for a few reasonable posters from each side and one poster who does not give opinions but responds to nearly every post with a wordy, judgmental, and oftentimes incomprehensible mish-mash of distortions, innuendo, and self-congratulatory statements. Give her a break folks. She always uses the same moniker (except when she is defending her own statement with a different moniker) so she is easy to open/close or skip over.
Remember - every village has one. Maybe she is the one missing from Texas.
forum
I just realized that participating in a forum is the most frustrating thing one can do. One can never win, only lose.
Look, how GP is now treated by many of you. I think she is a very nice, eloquent lady, whose comments I really enjoy to read, no matter how long they are. And I do not like long posts, in general.
I agree with GP - let the new president catch his breath and breathe a little, without being stalked.
Being this is a forum for MTs, you would
think any response you would get to a post would at least be from an adult. Sorry, the 2 responses to your post were so childish I hate to think they are MTs! I swear, I believe some of these folks are forgetting that we are all fellow AMERICANS.
I'm only going to say this once. To post on this forum you must be
respectful. I don't care what your political affiliation is. This board has gotten quite foul and I will start banning people from posting if the tone doesn't change. There is nothing wrong with posting in a respectful and kind manner. If you don't like the President, fine, but do not post slurs on this forum about the President and do not post hate America posts. If these simple requests are too much to bear then go post somewhere else.
rules, forum

Wow - I disagree. This forum is mostly
Isn't there a law against panhandling on this forum?
You tell 'em GP!!
There is an echo in this forum.
This goth mentality of yours is a bridge to nowhere.
Been around long enough to know that this forum
the real world of politics...more like the children's hour, complete with worn out trite catch phrases like the ones that punctuate yours posts.
That's like starting a forum for pet lovers
And then saying they can only talk about pets they don't have any more, not their current ones! Or a car enthusiasts forum where people can only speak of vehicles they used to own, not what they currently drive.
What's the point in this forum, then, to only talk about the future or the past, not the present? How ridiculous!
I watched mccain forum
and what I saw was that when asked the question when is someone rich? He was unprepared to answer. He was off his talking points and tried to answer it. To him, one has to make 5 mil a year to be considered rich. He realized quickly what a boner he had made, smiled and said that would become a joke. The joke is how many people still consider repubs to be concerned with anyone but the wealthy. They are it rich; you should be too. If you are not, you are on your own.
The most self-centered poster on this forum
So is that all you know in life? Telling others your beliefs are the ONLY beliefs, and if they can't back it up with your oh-so-precious NUMBERS, then you win that round? So what else can you do? Seriously. I mean can you even hold down a job? Are you even an MT? If so, what specialty? I haven't noticed ANYthing you've said that would believe me to believe you even belong on a forum for medical transcriptionists. Your only purpose for being here appears to be to inflate what must be a very low self-esteem. Do you even have any hobbies? What about sports? Do you run? Ski? Surf? Swim? ANYthing? Or is trying to bully people on an obscure little MT bulletin board the only exercise you get? Or is it too late, and you're one of those house-bound fatties that can only be extricated with a forklift?
Is there an echo in his forum. I would swear
Still full of poop.
All the hysteria about Obama on this forum
that it's ignorant and very dangerous.) Look at where all the hysteria has been leading some of McCain's supporters. Suddenly there's a tangible threat of violence from these people, and it started sounding like a lynch mob. That mentality seems to be far to pervasive on MT Stars.
On this forum? Nope. All you missed was

To inform others is definitely part of the forum. nm

They are really kickin it up over there on the faith forum
I am sure they would love to have you!
How many pubs on this forum and in this nation
being a qualified candidate for VP and ready to step into the highest office in the land? This is not just about Palin. This is about a party who expects to be taken seriously in the Congresss, Senate, 2010 and again in 2012. So far, all we have seen these past 2 days is a GOP collective who cannot abandon the witch hunt and mob stalking of Obama long enough to address their own shortcomings.
The presumption on the part of these folks that they should be taken seriously by anyone except themselves in view of the fact that they can turn a blind eye to this kind of basic deficit in their party and the judgment of their leaders is LUDICROUS.
Palin may not be a front burner issue for much longer, but the shambles that is the republican party will be there for a long time....a very long time, if their own members cannot get off their high horses long enough to take a long, hard look at themselves.
The MT/Student forum is requesting your.....nm

after the Obama election there are on this forum
and maybe in the whole US, only 2 sides:
pro-Obama versus anti-Obama.
And this applies to ALL fields, even to: Is Michelle pretty or fugly?
I would like to see a 'VR-Board' in this forum...nm

I reckon if you took the IQ of all you haters on this forum,
and added them all together, you wouldn't even get to 20!! Very amusing . . . . . .
