Those who water down the Word are sure to be safe from persecution. (They actually DO the persecuting of those who don't!) Izzy

I believe we can state our opinions without cross the line to hate. And I
believe that persecution makes Christians and Christianity stronger. What do
we gain if we suffer for doing wrong? I welcome greater persecution for all
of us North Americans. Being the top dog has ruined us.
Love,
Caroline

You can't claim credentials you don't have. You can't lie while under oath in a court room. And you can't slander, libel, intimidate, threaten or speak hatefully to your fellow human being. We put a high value on people. Americans put high value on principles and rights.
We have the same restrictions on speech here in this country, and I agree
with them. All this is contained in the commandment, "thou shalt not bear
false witness."
I very much disagree, however, with Canada's ruling that Romans 1 and Leviticus 20:13 exposes homosexuals to hatred. What about you? Do you agree or disagree with the idea that Christians who would publish references to these verses in newspapers should be prosecuted and found guilty of human rights violations?
Peace be with you. David Miller.
