The Bible was written by INSPIRED men, but authored by God. And mans situation then, is still mans situation now. The existence of God is the most relevant thing there is. What isn't relevant is cars and the internet and etc. James

. . . But keep in mind that some of our greatest leaders (Lincoln, Roosevelt, MLK, George W. Bush) used their words to move a nation. Didn't want you to leave anyone out. James

I DO NOT agree with the NON-separation of church and state. I agree with the NON-separation of ones Faith in God and ones actions, whether he's the President or a cab driver. I am merely speaking what I believe here, and that is that there should be no line. Understand. James

[whisper] on with the discussion [/whisper]

That should be interesting, although I'm not sure who he is.

True, but it would depend on who you ask. Some mountain dwelling miltiamen in the US would gladly dawn the title extremist. Myself, I take the Bible so literally that I wouldn't necessarily deny being extreme about it. In any case, I just didn't see the parallel between President Bush and an Infidel exterminator. James

I didn't realize I was. Honestly, I try not to take anything as a personal attack. I'm quite sure nobody on this forum would do that, even you. James
-
Yes I did, why do ask? James
-
I know, and it was a good one, I was just trying to put him in the context.
-
Your opinion, I reckon.
-
You're exactly right. BTW, I didn't give him the scripture reference, I was just pointing out the context to quell his laughter. james
-
Fair enough, Joe, I see your point. James
-
You asked for an example and you got one. The important thing to remember here is the context. The Israelites were conquering the land that God had promised them, they were to drive out any people that were following false gods. In that time, human sacrifices and other abominations were being performed for these gods. To allow them to stay and subsequently accept these abominations would be a sin against the One True God. That was over 3,500 years ago. The Israelite conquest of Canaan richly parallels the Christians life of separation from the world and todays abominations. James

I personally use the King James Version, and the link below is a wonderful explanation why so many hold to this version. A bit lengthy, but very informative. King James Version James

That statement almost makes sense, but not quite. An extremist is still an extremist whether you agree with him or not. You're still trying to compare apples to oranges.

Thats terrible news. Prayers are with those folks, particularly those who are suddenly without an income. james
-
Please tell me you're not trying to imply that having faith makes one a moron. James
-
Likewise.
-
SkyDekker I was referring to the President of the United States, not a third world extremist who believes all infidels should be exterminated. Try and draw a parallel where one actually exists. James
-
I see now where you mistook me. Let me restate that: Fact is, personal belief plays a vital role in everything. (note the comma between is and personal) Sorry for the confusion. James
-
That is exactly my point.
-
That would, ofcourse, depend upon the supposed facts in question and your subsequent view of those facts. You no doubt hold some things to be factual that I myself do not and vice versa. Fact is personal belief, no matter what the belief, plays a vital role in everything. James
-
read the above reply . . that goes for anyone, not just President bush, regardless if I agree with them or not. James
-
But, what about the many that do? . . you could go around and round with this point and get nowhere. As far as being impartial goes . . I have alot more respect for someone whose beliefs dictate thier actions than I do for someone who can be blown around by whatever wind comes along. James
