I have CC permits in FL and GA so it is not a problem for me. In FL it is permissible under certain conditions. In GA I think it is permissible without restriction, other than ownership of the car.

If he does, I'd like him to live stream the experience on Skype or something so we can watch him watching it. Probably much the same as Jesus. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Sure, and if I studied scripture I might have just a slightly different take than you do and decide that the International Church of Christ is exactly where I fit in. Then I would think that you're going to burn in eternal hellfire for not believing what I believe, just as you would believe about me. Just as a member of the Worldwide Church of God would believe about both of us, just as a Jehovah's Witness would believe about all of the above. Obviously someone is fucking up. Do you really think this is what Jesus intended? Basic Christian Beliefs: There is only one God (Isaiah 43:10; 44:6, 8; John 17:3; 1 Corinthians 8:5-6; Galatians 4:8-9). God is three in one or a Trinity (Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; John 14:16-17; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Acts 2:32-33, John 10:30,17:11, 21; 1 Peter 1:2). God is omniscient or "knows all things" (Acts 15:18; 1 John 3:20). God is omnipotent or "all powerful" (Psalm 115:3; Revelation 19:6). God is omnipresent or "present everywhere" (Jeremiah 23:23, 24; Psalm 139). God is sovereign (Zechariah 9:14; 1 Timothy 6:15-16). God is holy (1 Peter 1:15). God is just or "righteous" (Psalm 19:9, 116:5, 145:17; Jeremiah 12:1). God is love (1 John 4:8). God is true (Romans 3:4; John 14:6). God is spirit (John 4:24). God is the creator of everything that exists (Genesis 1:1; Isaiah 44:24). God is infinite and eternal. He has always been God (Psalm 90:2; Genesis 21:33; Acts 17:24). God is immutable. He does not change (James 1:17; Malachi 3:6; Isaiah 46:9-10). The Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4; 1 Corinthians 2:11-12; 2 Corinthians 13:14). Jesus Christ is God (John 1:1, 14, 10:30-33, 20:28; Colossians 2:9; Philippians 2:5-8; Hebrews 1:8). Jesus became a man (Philippians 2:1-11). Jesus is fully God and fully man (Colossians 2:9; 1 Timothy 2:5; Hebrews 4:15; 2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus was sinless (1 Peter 2:22; Hebrews 4:15). Jesus is the only way to God the Father (John 14:6; Matthew 11:27; Luke 10:22). Man was created by God in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-27). All people have sinned (Romans 3:23, 5:12). Death came into the world through Adam's sin (Romans 5:12-15). Sin separates us from God (Isaiah 59:2). Jesus died for the sins of each and every person in the world (1 John 2:2; 2 Corinthians 5:14; 1 Peter 2:24). Jesus' death was a substitutionary sacrifice. He died and paid the price for our sins, so that we might live. (1 Peter 2:24; Matthew 20:28; Mark 10:45). Jesus resurrected from the dead in physical form (John 2:19-21). Salvation is a free gift of God (Romans 4:5, 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 John 1:8-10). The Bible is the "inspired" or "God-breathed," Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21). Those who reject Jesus Christ will go to hell forever after they die (Revelation 20:11-15, 21:8). Those who accept Jesus Christ will live for eternity with him after they die (John 11:25, 26; 2 Corinthians 5:6). Hell is a place of punishment (Matthew 25:41, 46; Revelation 19:20). Hell is eternal (Matthew 25:46). There will be a rapture of the church (Matthew 24:30-36, 40-41; John 14:1-3; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12). Jesus will return to the earth (Acts 1:11). Christians will be raised from the dead when Jesus returns (1 Thessalonians 4:14-17). There will be a final judgment (Hebrews 9:27; 2 Peter 3:7). Satan will be thrown into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:10). God will create a new heaven and a new earth (2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1). In my counseling framework, I reduce it even further to expedite interaction. Do you believe in the deity of Jesus Christ of Nazareth? Do you accept His virgin birth? Do you believe in His atoning death as a propitiation for your sin? Do you believe He was resurrected from the dead and is alive now? Do you confess Jesus Christ of Nazareth as your Lord and Savior?

Yes . . it is from the Blaze . . . My question is this: Who took this picture?, and Why does he look so suspiciously like he is happy he had vengeance for a video he probably never heard about? Excellent question. This segment of "For The Record" will be broadcast Wed 30 Apr on the Blaze TV. GB's investigative staff have been on top of this story from the very beginning. I'll be out of town and won't be able to watch but will catch up when I return. BHO/Clinton/Kennedy are culpable. I pray it can be proven before Nov 2016.

I am a member of the church. You must have misread and certainly misspoke. Perhaps he was referring to the Worldwide Church of God. Coincidentally, their beliefs are not much different to yours in the "eternal damnation" respect: That is exactly why I advocate studying Scripture in the Holy Bible, then go find a church where you fit in.

What I am getting at is, only a soul that has repented with a contrite heart can be saved. Only God knows the condition of the heart. I maintain we cannot save souls. We can only preach Christ and Him crucified. Sorry, I am not able to discuss anything over a beer or two. I am a delivered alcoholic and tend to retreat from folks who are using.

The word you meant was transubstantiation. It means substituting the bread and wine for Christ's body and blood. That is close to fantasizing cannibalism. Also, note that following the Reformation Christ's body was removed from the cross. This indicates His work is finished and He is resurrected in Heaven with the Father. The Roman Catholic Church leaves Him on the cross making it a crucifix and thus indicates that His atoning death was insufficient as a once for all propitiation for sin.

Excellent response, authoritatively informative. Just to throw something else in the mix, what is your take on the "Great Commission?" Many evangelicals and mostly Baptists believe we are to go into the world and save souls. I believe that only the Holy Spirit leads the heart of someone to salvation. The decision rests with the individual. I believe we are to make disciples of those who have made the decision for Christ. We share the gospel of Christ and Him crucified. We teach and guide fellow believers on the path of righteousness for sanctification. Matthew 28:18-20 New King James Version (NKJV) 18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

A Democrat interviewing a Democrat. Are you familiar with the term bias? Patrick Kennedy has a very questionable past and reputation within the State Department. He is a career bureaucrat and not well liked by his subordinates, IMO, based on articles read. Mr Grayson is from my former area but I know nothing about him.

Where did he demonstrate exclusion and hate? Was it the part where he said that he believes some Catholics are Christians? He said no such thing. He said definitively that Catholics and Jehova's Witnesses are not Christians. He followed that with "..in terms of eternal life, we should talk", which reflects his often stated conviction that anyone who doesn't follow his particular flavor of religion is condemned to hell. Personally, I take a threat or eternal suffering and torment as an expression of hate, though I realize some of you manage to twist it in your mind to an expression of love. Catholics and JWs follow the same bible, believe in the same God, and believe Jesus is the son of God, just like all the denominations you listed above. Catholics believe in the Holy Spirit and the Holy Trinity, as do the denominations you listed above. JWs do have a different concept of the Holy Spirit. Catholics are close enough to Anglicans that practitioners of both are free to attend services and receive communion in one another's churches. Do you also argue that Anglicans are not Christians? Are all Anglicans also going to hell? Neither Catholics or JWs have added more recent texts to the Bible, unlike the Mormons. The Book of Mormon makes Mormonism distinct, a descendant of Christianity just as Christianity followed from Judaism. Exaggeration or outright falsehoods about Catholic theology by Evangelical sects stems from old power struggles, rooted in politics and the collection plate. White on the right vs black on the right kind of stuff. Don You have provided a very long erudite explanation indicating that you have studied everything but the Scriptures of the Holy Bible. What does your church teach as the way to eternal life with God? What does the Pope say about prayer? To whom does he say we should pray? What Scripture(s) describe purgatory? Who in the RC church is qualified to understand Scripture? When did the JWs accept Jesus Christ as the Son of God? When did they accept the indwelling of the Holy Spirit? What is their explanation for the 144,000? How many times have they changed their belief since its inception by Charles Russell? Also, you may benefit from the clinical definition of projection. Rest assured, I do not reveal personal hate on this forum. Personal dislike is not hate. Some liberals get me close but no, not hate. I won't pick up that rope. PS.

Not like I'm the gold standard or anything, but I've long thought it odd that the UNCF, as well as the NAACP, chose not to update their names. Same with the US govt's Bureau of Indian Affairs. I'm sure they've contemplated it, especially the first two, and have decided to keep the names for the sake of historical continuity, to avoid public confusion, etc, etc. That said, I'm a pedant, so I'm given to ruminating about such things. I'm old enough to remember when, in the late 60's, the terms "colored" and "Negro" were considered arcane by anyone younger than middle-aged, and gave way to "black". As I recall, that shift was pretty universally in place for most anyone under age 50 by the early 70s. Bundy was born in 1946, so in, say, 1971 he was only 25. And even though changes in social convention are slower to find purchase in the rural boonies where he lived, you'd certainly expect virtually anyone to know that "Negro" was decades obsolete by 2014. Point being: it reflects how utterly out of touch he (and his ilk!) are with the conventions of modern society. So to hold him out as some kind of heroic figure, or even blessed with some kind of homespun social astuteness, is really quite laughable, and a little sad.

I just read through your interaction with quade and I agree with you. I've met some Catholics that I believe are Christians but prefer the ceremony of the RC mass. I'm OK with that, don't totally get it but OK. From my study the following are generally accepted as Christian by non-Christian observers. They are not recognized as such by Christian theologians. 1. Roman Catholic Church 2. Jehovah's Witnesses 3. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints i.e., Mormon Church In terms of what is good for America, we can all work together. In terms of eternal life, maybe we should talk. Personally, the Mormons are problematic for me. Watching and listening to Glenn Beck preach and pray, it is difficult for me to think he is not saved. Trying to discuss and explain these differences to a non-believer is probably an exercise of futility. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.
