    What wars has God sanctioned lately? What cities had God ordered wiped out lately?

    When Jesus tells me to do something, I'm doing it. If Jesus tells me to waterboard someone, I know he is right and I'll waterboard all day long. Sorry, but I don't have the faith in leadership, other than Jesus, to make such weighty decisions properly.

    Amazing how every discussion, regardless of topic, turns into "yeah but abortion is worse". So what? That is not the topic. I thought you were the 'stay on topic' queen, LE...what happened?

    Yes. But trade sanctioning does cover private donations.

    I agree with you.

    I never said torture was OK, I'm just pointing out it was done in the O/T, and nobody in America paid any attention to it until Bush came along.

    It's hard to argue quality of life issues with people who support abortion. I think it's a valid comparison.

    Equally amazing is that any criticism if a liberal turns into "yea but Bush did worse".

    Show Me The Golden Rule in Scripture

    The "do unto others" is not Scripture. Sorry. It's probably a Chinese proverb, but, it is not in the Bible. If you can find it, and show me where, than I apologise, and ask that you please except my most humble apology!!!

    Don't bother praying for my congregation. I'm quite positive they feel as I do. We need to fight this war without reservations.:thumbsup:

    In closing....try using your spell checker. It makes you look like someone who at least went to school.:laugh:

    Then, dear Christian sister, would you allow yourself to be waterboarded, have it filmed and placed on YouTube so that we can watch it and judge for ourselves?

    Just wondering if you are willing to back up your claim personally or are these merely words on your part with no substance. I'm pretty certain it's the latter.

    You may allow al Qaeda to determine your standards and values. I refuse to do so.

    If She Were a Terrorist....

    I'm sure she'd not mind the water-board stuff. Maybe you should turn yourself over to a group of terrorists in Afghanistan, and see how they treat a man with nothing but love and good vibes toward them.:smilewinkgrin:

    I know you Ken, and we have a good relationship. However, you are dead wrong on this issue.....

    Huh? What are you talking about? This?

    Matthew 7:12 (KJV)
    Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

    As a pastor I thought you would know of Matthew 7:12, I suppose not.

    Thanks again for the insults. I won't bother to tell you what it makes you look like. I'm following an old "Momma" proverb. Something about if you don't have something nice to say....

    I don't think that we have to become like al Qaeda in order to defeat al Qaeda.

    Obviously you didn't read Matt's offer. I already answered this.

    What, your mention of childbirth? Still, if you really believe that waterboarding is nothing, then you shouldn't mind it being done to you.

    Wow. This thread may have set a record for getting to 10 pages. My wife and I went to see the movie "Underworld: Rise of the Lycans"(which we both really, really liked) and I came back and this thread had really hopped along. :)
