Subject: [TruthTalk] Who are the
Church?
Have you ever entertained the idea
Lance that what you have judged here is NOT the
Church?
Not the one that Jesus is building
anyway because His disciples look like Him. Appears to me as
though
you have done vast research in all of
the wrong places... I can agree with you on one point. Unclean
is
unclean, filth is filth, and sin is sin
in every generation. jt

Response:IMO
MDOA began with the human heart (fallen) which is
no different now than at the founding of your nation
The hedonism of the '60's was no more significant
that the hedonism of the 20's
Women's Lib was precipitated, in part, by the
treatment of women by society in general and, in part, by the
church
Abortion 'rights':no disagreement
Anti-war movement was legitimate. One needs to
recognize that there exist legitimate arguments, by believers, against as well
as for that war (or any war including Iraq).
During your Civil War, both sides had Generals
and enlisted men who read their Bibles and, prayed daily. There Bibles
o'plenty.
Christians throughout history have demonstrated
themselves to be no more effective in running government than
others.
Christian 'teaching' doesn't even enable TTers to
speak in a civil manner to one another.
Christians throughout history have not only
demonstrated virulent racism all over the globe but also anti-semiticism of an
equal sort. Do you know the story of Ruby Bridges? Do you know who comprised
the sign waving, epithet hurling crowds who threatened her life? It was
Christians in Russia, Spain, Europe who willingly killed Jews by the
millions.
Slavery was a mixed bag. Many christians were for
it and, used the scriptures to support their position.
I'm going to leave off at this point.
