On Prooftexting
Yanking a verse out of its context is a terribly risky thing, and by context I mean much more than just the chapter or even book in which it is found. With the Bible, we must consider every chapter, verse and even word in light of the whole of Scripture if we are to have any hope of arriving at a right understanding of what is being so beautifully and perfectly communicated.
Can a Christian Vote Democrat?
C.S. Lewis, in Mere Christianity, described the Christian life as follows:
“The Christian way is different: harder, and easier. Christ says, ‘Give me All. I don’t want so much of your time and so much of your money and so much of your work: I want You. I have not come to torment your natural self, but to kill it. No half-measures are any good. I don’t want to cut off a branch here and a branch there, I want to have the whole tree down. I don’t want to drill the tooth, or crown it, or stop it, but to have it out. Hand over your whole natural self, all the desires which you think innocent as well as the ones you think wicked – the whole outfit. I will give you a new one instead. In fact, I will give you Myself: my own will shall become yours.’”
No Child Rapist (or Child Rape Profiteer) Left Behind – Change for America, ACORN Style
And the hits just keep on comin’…
First, BigGovernment.com broke the ACORN/child prostitution story. Then they broke another.
Of course, in between stories number one and two, the cocked-and-loaded “you’re just a buncha racists!” guns were blazing, as they always seem to be these days. All who oppose Obama, Obamaism, Obamacare or Obama pals are, of course, racist.
Washington: Can You Hear Us Now?
What a difference a day makes. A day when somewhere around two million strong decide to march on the nation’s capitol, that is.
As the masses mobilized, the Statist media went into a tizzy and liberal activist from coast to coast scurried about trying to tag the millions of liberty-loving American protesters as everything from unenlightened and reactionary to hateful and (of course) racist.
The Day the Left Stood Still
In the morning hours of September 11th, 2001, America changed.
For many of the nation’s people, the change was permanent. It was forever. For others, those of the perpetual “move on” mantra, the transformative events of that day were to be forgotten as quickly as possible.
Advance the Cause of Child Prostitution? YES! WE! CAN!
In a refreshing display of the nearly lost art of American journalism, BigGovernment.com has published a stunning report on ACORN, the “community organizing” group brought to national prominence last year by way of its association with Barack Obama.
Defy the Laws of Mathematics, Economics and Logic? YES! WE! CAN!
“I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits either now or in the future. Period”.
Thus saith The One.
So let it be written; so let it be done.
Only in an America populated by drones primarily educated through a government controlled idiot factory could such a contention inspire serious applause.
Embrace the Marxist Rebellion Against God? YES! WE! CAN!
The Marxist taproot feeding the tree of Progressive Christianity and the contemporary American Democrat Party is, in its wanton repudiation of the Sovereign of Scripture and His Holy Word, a satanic stronghold and an affront to Christ. It is a clear and present danger to His church. Its complete destruction must be a conscious goal of every biblically submissive Christian.
Create a Godless Nation? YES! WE! CAN!
The people of Martin Luther’s Reformation became the nation of Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich in much the same way that the people of the American Revolution have become the nation of Barack Obama’s “Yes We Can [insert whatever you like here]!”
Obama’s Communist Czar of [Expletive Deleted] Identification Hits Unemployment Line – Unemployment Hits 9.71%
According to a report by the Associated Press, Van Jones, President Barack Hussein Obama’s appointed Green Jobs Czar, one of a plethora of advisors selected by The One to hold positions of power largely immune to congressional oversight, formally resigned late last night.
Hope, Change and the Creepy Face of American Socialism
What a difference seven and a half months makes. In that short span of time Americans have witnessed a political plunge unparalleled since the days of the post-Watergate Ford administration. The untouchable icon of political progressivism that was Barack Hussein Obama has become something less.
Much less.
The One from on high has been brought low. The great, articulate (and clean, even) Agent of Change has been exposed as little more than an arrogant, oblivious advocate of most tired and failed policies of the past.
And what brought about this radical shift? What happened to inspire this Jeckyll-to-Hyde revelation in the eyes of most Americans?
Government.
Obama style.
Zombies Defend Attacks as Viable form of Obamacare Advocacy
In an intriguing display of rationalization and political pragmatism, a good many Obamacare zealots have made the case that the urgent need for healthcare in the aftermath of an Obama zombie attack actually strengthens the case for additional government involvement in the healthcare industry.
Claire McCaskill’s Giggling Contempt for the Constitution
Wouldn’t it be nice if United States Senators would actually submit to the United States Constitution? Wouldn’t it be even better if United States voters would insist on nothing less?
Stupid, Racist Parents Resist Messiah’s Address to Obama Youth
Apparently, some American parents didn’t get the Hope/Change/Messiah memo. Or, if they did, they didn’t believe it.
You’re Surely a Racist, If… (Episode 3,642)
You’re even more likely to be a racist if you oppose Obama himself, and your chance of harboring unbridled racist rage in your heart approaches 100% if, on top of opposing Obamacare and Obama, you also believe that Congressman Charlie Rangel (D) ought to resign his position on the ridiculously powerful House Ways and Means Committee after admitting that he has made significant “mistakes” related to the reporting (or lack thereof) large sums of taxable income over several years’ time (all while constantly advocating higher taxes for others and the radical expansion of governmental power over all, of course).
Obamacare Supporters Begin to Eat Opposition
According to the Los Angeles Times, a 65-year-old Obamacare opponent had his finger bitten off by a hopeful, change-friendly proponent of the President’s plan for socialized medicine. The incident occurred at about 7 p.m. Wednesday during a fight at a MoveOn.org rally in Thousand Oaks, California.
Messiah to Address Obama Youth Directly on Tuesday
By focusing on the most malleable, defenseless and controlled of American minds, The One hopes to reclaim political momentum and combat the ungrateful, ignorant masses who have recently risen in vocal opposition to his plans for socialized medicine in America.
Making Contact with the SETI Standard
“So what’s more likely? That an all-powerful, mysterious God created the universe, and decided not to give any proof of his existence? Or, that He simply doesn’t exist at all, and that we created Him, so that we wouldn’t have to feel so small and alone?”
Omnipresence – The God of Every Where and Every When
I take great comfort in knowing that God is still, as you read this post in an online blog, every bit as present in that moment of creation as he is in the moment of time that we call the present. He is just as much there as he is here.
Christian?
Every made thing has a beginning. Many good and thoughtful discussions rightly begin with a definition of terms. As I hope and pray that this blog will fall into the “good and thoughtful” category for many if not most of its readers, I think it only proper to begin here today by clearly defining the […]
