    I know that there are people who really care what VCY America has to say about major issues, but I am not one of them.

    Yet another among the many frauds perpetrated by the party. Hitler through out the socialists before attaining power in a (successful) attempt to court big business. It was big business that bankrolled his successful campaign (through which he was able to destroy democracy.)

    Just to add "fuel" to this discussion some might want to check out the following site. Dr. Campolo is included in their list in the matter of deception.

    This should keep it interesting!

    How many people in the world are kept dirt poor by Capatalism, and have no way to choose against the idea?

    The NAZI party goes by the name "League of Rights" in Australia, and is most certainley a Extreme Right wing group.

    The Supposed Christian Party "The Lords Army" are also Right Wing, these are the people who support the killing of Abortian doctors etc. Extreme Right Wing groups recruit from the Right Wing Conservatives.

    Marxism and Communism are also different ideas.

    BB,
    I don't believe Compolo proved his point with me. What he proved was that people who read and believe Scripture will not accept fowl language as good just because a person calls themselves a Christian. He proved that he would rather shock someone than prove his point intelectually. He proved a lot, mainly that his message was easily overshadowed by him opening his mouth and vomiting out fowl language. I could provide you many Scriptures that show it is wrong, but I don't suppose you really care.

    If that sound harsh, well I am sorry, I was wrong to make that statement to you. I did not think long enough before posting that, and it is my fault for assumming you didn't care.

    I have stood on Scripture many times in the board just to have people make ther argument outside of Scripture.

    I have read posts here on this topic of people who apparently like him a lot. We as believers are to stand for what is pure, not spout out bad language. We are to control our temper per James' teaching, which I still struggle with, I have improved greatly, but there is still room for improvement. My problem with Compolo is that he obviously sees nothing wrong with cursing. Maybe he believes the end hustifies the means. I don't know what his motivation is, but I know that his method in this case, is not Scriptural.

    Why? Is that a bogus report that they put out on Dr. Campollo?

    On what planet? You should hear some of the debates he has with Steve Brown (who is conservative) on their TV show.

    He's not theologically conservative at all. In fact, he's about as liberal as you can be and still be orthodox.
