So, your folksy “Hillbillies go a courtin'” example lends understanding to a man (near 30yrs old) with a 14yr old girl in her panties with him trying to get her to grab his dick or forcibly trying to get another young girl to give him head? The woman below doesn’t seem the type to be seeking fame or a spot a reality TV show to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacV95jBEho You say you don’t know what to think?? What you should be thinking is “That’s fucked up” If the accusations are true. If they are not true then the guilt falls on the progressive left media ruining a man's career. However, what if he gets elected? Now we would have a very angry conservative Christian in the Senate. I think that would be a good thing. I do not trust the news media, period.

No, I frankly don't know what to think, except that he is damaged goods regardless. We have a couple in our church that have been married over 60 years. He was an 18YO from AL and she was a 15YO from south GA. I suspect they were dating when she was 14. Such was not uncommon back in the day. I realize that is not the same situation but 14YOs are looked upon differently in the Deep South. Sometimes they are even cousins. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Are you all aware of the congressional shush fund of $15M put in place a couple decades ago to cover up allegations of sexual misconduct by the members? http://thehill.com/opinion/finance/360355-congress-owes-american-taxpayers-answers-about-secret-shush-fund Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

What I understand is that the escalation of accusers is powerfully damaging. What I do not understand is that Moore's professional career has also escalated through level after level of success and none of these accusations were ever voiced. Now he has the opportunity to be a strong conservative Christian in the Senate and he is made out to be a pedophile. Something is not right. The stepson of one of the accusers says his stepmother is lying.

Getting somewhat back on the topic. Christians are standing with the survivors. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/11/07/texas-church-shooting-victims-receive-offer-from-southern-baptist-convention-to-cover-funeral-costs.html The Sutherland Springs Church reopens as a memorial. https://www.wsj.com/articles/first-baptist-church-in-sutherland-texas-reopens-as-a-memorial-to-victims-1510535169 When this happened in Amish country they completely razed the building and then rebuilt a new structure.

That was delightfully condescending. Very Christian of you. Don't be so sure I cannot understand why you believe the way you do. A good starting point might be to recognize that revealed truth may simply be an effect. Since day one man has strived to see order in the apparent chaos of our lives. We also strive to see ourselves (or Jesus in a cheese sandwich) in the world around us. It's easy to see how the ancients, ignorant of evolution, the universe etc.., would conclude that the world had to have been designed for our use. Less easy to see is how moderns with the benefit of science, the only revealed truth, and access to knowledge at a keystroke prefer to remain comfited by old stories that have no basis in truth. You moved to the hinterlands to be surrounded by folks with like beliefs. You live your day's validated by those around you as was your desire. If that's what floats your boat, good on you. Me, I'd rather hang with people who called me out to defend my positions and took no shit along the way. I have been posting in SC for many years now. When new folks, such as yourself, show up I find myself going through the same explanations repeatedly. That is good thing. For it challenges me to think in new terms. Once again I will attempt to explain my Christian understanding. I know that I probably not succeed in adequately doing so because Christian spiritual reasoning does not overlap well with secular human logic. Allow me to address the incorrect allegation that I am a mysoginist. That means that you believe that I hate women based on my belief that abortion is wrong. Nothing could be further from the truth. I love and respect the females of our mortal incarnations. I hate the sin of women killing their children for the enjoyment of sex. That is a spiritual Christian concept. However, if a women suffers from depression and guilt as a result of commiting this sin, I am there to help her obtain forgiveness through Christ, not condemn her for making bad decisions. In other words, I hate the sin but will always love the sinner. The Bible explains we are all sinners. That includes me, you and everyone alive. Christians are sinners. Our saving grace is that we can confess our sin before Christ and receive forgiveness. The slate is wiped clean. We attain peace of mind in Christ. That option is always available. No, I am not a mysoginist and the same explanation will suffice for your other allegations albeit they fit your logical reasoning. The last sentence of your post indicates to me that you seek to play the game of one upmanship. A game of wits pitting ego against ego. I am not a worthy opponent in the arena. I do not have much ego left. Praise be unto God through Jesus the Christ. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

Hey Ron, when you get to your reward will the souls of those zygotes be there to thank you for trying to save their lives? Or will they be condemned to Hell fire because they never sought the forgiveness of the savior? I haven't been directly involved in the anti-abortion movement since the mid-80s. I can only support political candidates that oppose abortion. I don't think it will be abolished. Instead I and my community are simply preparing for God's wrath because of the practice, The same goes for same sex marriage and the current fad of gender manipulation. The Bible offers little in the describing the details of the spiritual realm in eternity. My personal glimpses into light and life have shown me that it will be different than anything we can imagine. Things and people will not be ordered as they are in the physical plane. Satan uses man's concept of time as a main tool of manipulation, attack, and fear with the ego. Walking in the spirit as He is in the Spirit requires learning to think in eternity. The Holy Spirit ministers to the Christian in that regard. The prophet Isaiah gives some indication that we will be able to view the souls of the lost in Chapter 66. 22 “For as the new heavens and the new earth Which I will make shall remain before Me,” says the Lord, “So shall your descendants and your name remain. 23 And it shall come to pass That from one New Moon to another, And from one Sabbath to another, All flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the Lord. 24 “And they shall go forth and look Upon the corpses of the men Who have transgressed against Me. For their worm does not die, And their fire is not quenched. They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.” Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

No I cannot. The triune nature of man is that he is a spirit, lives in a body and has a soul. The soul is comprised of the mind, emotions and free will. As Christian I have no responsibility regarding the final disposition of anyone's soul. My responsibility is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That is tell folks that unless they exercise their free will to accept the gift of eternal life they will inherit eternal death. The battle for the soul is in the mind. Christ makes the choice easy. Satan makes it extremely difficult. Satan influences the mind to think about what it is thinking. Thus the mind becomes confused and muddled. That is why repentance, or the changing of the mind, requires surrender of the ego. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

That works for me. Deal. Neato. That didn't take long. If the market is still open I'll trade two clearies and a boulder cat's eye for a ban on bump stocks. While I wait for takers, tell me how progressive liberalism is constraining your life. I'm hoping for examples. To be a sport, I'll start with one from my side: science. Scratching your nose destroys millions more cells than compose a zygote or even a 100 cell unilaminar blastocyst. Christians are relentless in the politicizing of what they believe is the magical ensoulment of this pin head size formation of cells. They want women they have never met to bear children owing to their beliefs. I think that is wrong. The evil of progressive liberalism only effects my life now on this forum. My education required me to work in that environment. I did, I handled it and I was successful. The problem was that I was phony. I did not believe in much of what I was doing but, there was that mortgage thing. Your case for abortion is really a description of a miscarriage. Babies are well formed when they are aborted. The Christian stance against abortion, as you know, is the belief that conception creates the soul. We attempt as best we can to save souls. I gave my permission to abort my child, Nov 73, because my wife and I were divorced. That decision haunted and condemned me until I was forgiven at the moment of salvation, 16 Mar 81.

I requested my CCW permit when my son got his. When I moved to GA everyone I met had one. I received one here to be a part of the community advocates. That is the reason we moved up here.

I am somewhat in favor of all churches losing their tax exempt status. I do not like the mega church philosophy that has swept our nation.

I think you are absolutely correct in this respect. There are no credible arguments for carrying a concealed weapon just as there are no credible arguments for not carrying one. It is a difference in ideologies and defines the turmoil in America today. We used to be a country with a Christian foundation and we taught our children personal responsibility. Post modernism infused in progressive liberalism is turning us into wusses relying only on computers and government. I am firmly entrenched in my faith, the Bible and the 2nd Amendment. If the economy continues to grow under President Trump these issues will diminish somewhat. You people may win out in the end but we are not going to go easy. Has anyone determined the political party orientation for Paddock and Kelley? The OP indicates that only whites carry out terrorist activities in America.
