I agree a woman should not lead a men's [Bible] study (men or boys group) that leads to some unnecessary temptations to say the least.

It was the Sunday after the election, and everywhere I looked I could only see impending doom.

There is no way God would have allowed Barack Obama to become president were He not finally turning America over to judgment, to whatever great or lesser extent that will be.

I sat in my mother's church and was surprised to feel anger when the worship leader smiled and sang the same songs as ever, as if life hadn't drastically changed the week before, as if the Church itself wasn't indicted by Obama's election.

Then my eye caught a teen with Down syndrome coming late to service with his mother, sitting down the row from me.

He immediately began to sing with all his ecstatic might, smiling heavenward and air-playing guitar with the band, all for God.

And I began to cry ... pretty hard, shoulder-shaking hard. I hadn't done that yet, but pent up sorrow was no excuse; this was ridiculous. I got a grip and dialed it down to rolling tears throughout the song service, and then got distracted by a very good sermon on listening for God to speak.

But I started up all over again when running after the boy after service to meet him and tell him how much his worship had uplifted me.

His Mom thanked me, saying she always worried Eric might be a distraction. It was so opposite of that for me. Eric reminded me of Jesus and the coming joy and why I fight abortion and why I was so sad, all rolled up into one kid.

Performance artists. Is it a sin?
Is acting and modeling a sin? How about being a singer, or in a band that isn't singing about the Lord? Or how about dancers? Most dancers aren't dancing for the Lord. Is dancing a sin? Is a supermodel being sinful because she is beautiful and making money off her looks? Isn't that just ego? And isn't acting an ego thing too? How about stand up comedians?

I ask this because it seems those are things that glorify man.
I always look at them and think, if it was a perfect world, people would be worshiping God, not each other. In heaven, and in the new earth, i cant see any of us becoming actors, or super models...etc..
It seems its only for the ego...but then how do you explain people that have these talents? Is it God given?
I'm a bit confused......

So i guess what I'm asking is, do you think basically any kind of performance, *look at me*.. type art... basically a sin?

Well, it appears I am dealing with people of limited intellegence. To MsKat, yes two people of the same sex is the same as having sex with animals. It is unatural, disgusting and immoral, I'll prove my point. Let's say your son grows up and wants to marry a man, you being the oh so tolerent evolved being you are say great and throw the a wedding. That night as you drift off to sleep you suddenly realize that it is your son's wedding night and right now your son is getting a penis stuffed up his butt. If you don't believe that is wrong then you are the sick one, case closed. Now to Anniej485, I said I wasn't religous, I could care less about the bible, jesus or any of the whole myth of god. Maybe he exists, maybe he doesn't, I dont' care. I am just totally against degenerates and vile scum polluting humanity. Matthew Sheppard should have been an eye opener to all homosexuals, this should happen to you.

I’m not kidding but it seems like people just love slapping God in the face. It's like "Hey God...gay marriage is legal now in Iowa...What ya going to do about it..we're also going to flant it in public too". Some celebrate it like its some major victory over Christians or Christianity. It's getting really dark in this country.

[In response to Iowa court striking down gay marriage ban]

This country is going down. Faster than the Titanic. This is it folks... hold on to your hats... I REFUSE to send my kid to public school. I refuse to pay taxes when a usurper is president. I refuse to be a part of an agenda that is destroying this country, and the upcoming generations. I refuse to allow the indoctrination of my kids to think that everything morally wrong is okay, and that everything good is bad. Good as in moral values, strength of conviction, recognition of what is right and wrong, strength of character, responsibility for one's actions, honest work... all of those things that this media and this government have begun to hate, ridicule and despise.

Just recently I began, finally, tithing. I had a lot of reasons for not tithing, ranging from thinking that it was an old-testament issue to the plain and simple "I can't afford it."

Recently, I became convicted on this lapse, and have surrendered myself to tithing, no matter what the consequences. If we lose the house or a car along the way, then so be it. God is getting His money first.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Two gay men were killed in Baghdad's Sadr City slum, a local official said on Saturday, and police said they had found the bodies of four more after clerics urged a crackdown on a perceived spread of homosexuality.

Homosexuality is prohibited almost everywhere in the Middle East, but conditions have become especially dangerous for gays and lesbians in Iraq since the rise of religious militias after U.S.-led forces toppled Saddam Hussein six years ago.

"Two young men were killed on Thursday. They were sexual deviants. Their tribes killed them to restore their family honor," a Sadr City official who declined to be named said.

The police source who declined to be named said the bodies of four gay men were unearthed in Sadr City on March 25, each bearing a sign reading "pervert" in Arabic on their chests.

Sermons condemning homosexuality were read at the last two Friday prayer gatherings in Sadr City, a sprawling Baghdad slum of some 2 million people. The slum is a bastion of support for fiery Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr and his Mehdi Army militia.

The Mehdi Army has frozen its activities over the last year and government forces have wrested control of the slum.

Many young men who might have cut their hair short and grown beards when religious gangs controlled much of Iraq now dress in a more Western style as government forces take back control.

Some are now accused of being gay, and residents of Sadr City say at least one coffee shop has become a gay hangout.

A member of the slum's Sadrist office said the Mehdi Army was not involved in the killings, but said homosexuality was now more widespread since the Mehdi Army lost control of the slum.

"This (homosexuality) has spread because of the absence of the Mehdi Army, the spread of sexual films and satellite television and a lack of government surveillance," said the office's Sheikh Ibrahim al-Gharawi, a Shi'ite cleric.

Homosexual acts are punishable by up to seven years in prison in Iraq. A gay Iraqi man said any alleged crimes should be left to the law to deal with.

"If they've committed a crime, then there is the law. Killing is a big sin," he said, giving his name as Laith.

In case you homos have not notice; the God fearing are still here and we will not stop fighting until the fight is won.

You think bribing a few polititicians and judges will stop Christians from being Christians?

Maybe you can get your children to carry your rainbow flag for you after you die; because I know my children will be here waiting for them...

We are fighting a losing battle here. Gays will not stop trying to have the marriage laws changed. So here is what we do: Go ahead and let them marry each other and leave it up to God to deal with that sick abomination. Then since they want to use the term "marriage" which they have now defiled, let all the opposite-sex married couples (how sad to now have to refer to couples as opposite sex to differentiate them from these same sex abominations.....).....but anyways-- have them legislate to introduce a new term for the word "marriage"...for opposite sex-couples (real couples)....I don't know what it could be....but I think it is so unfair that married Christian couples have to now share that term and identification with same-sex couples...it is disgusting...

And you know, I have to revise our Employee Handbook at work to include the term "registered partner" and I am really having an issue with it. I had never even heard that before and I almost asked my boss what in the **** is that?

It is really bizarre to stand apart from this world and clearly see what it is becoming.

Such American classroom indoctrination is now found in "hate" and sexual diversity training and in 3,500 nationwide Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network (GLSEN) school clubs. Under color of a "Safe Schools Movement" battling alleged "bullying" of so-called "gay" children (K-12), some see GLSEN as a modern version of the Hitler Youth and as preparing the ground for a larger, sweeping, schoolroom Youth Brigade.

When I surrendered (oh, y'all must HATE that word!) MY RIGHTS, that is when my life of joy began. Truly. Now, I know many of you will snort and roll your eyes, but that is the truth because God made marriage to be that way. If I am being who God made me to be, even if my husband were a louse, GOD is worth me obeying him.

Does the teaching of evolution verses Creationism really improve a students education?

The atheist/Darwinist on here would have you believe so, but the facts show other wise.

Before the 1960, the US ranked in the top 10 in almost all fields of learning, and in the top 5 in Math, Science, and Reading.

Funny, up until 1967 evolution was taught in very few public schools. Yet the US had the highest ratings in its history.

After 1967 and the Supreme courts decision in Lemon v. Kurtzman Evolution became the norm in the science classroom, and the US’s ranking has fallen every since, until now we rank at 18th.

Not connected you might say? Hmm, over 200 years of God in the Classroom and nothing but continued innovation and elevated levels of education. 40 years without and we now fall behind South Korea, Japan, Finland, Canada, Australia, Austria, Britain, Ireland, Sweden. And a whole list of others.

Now for those of you who say, BUT they have been teaching evolution for years and look at them, That’s true, but NONE of those nations were founded upon the Principles of God, now where they?

So do the numbers not show, that it is NOT creationism that has crippled our education, but the lie of Darwin?

Riyadh (AsiaNews/Agencies) - A blitz by the Commission for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (the religious police, or muttawa), who early in the morning of March 30 raided a famous hotel in Riyadh and took away the actors and production staff for a television series.
Three actors and one actress were taken to the local police station, and later released on bail. According to a local newspaper, they are the famous Omani actor Ebrahim Al Zidjali, the actors Ali Saad and Fawaz Al Jaser, and the actress Sahar.
Local sources explain that the religious police intervened because scenes were filmed at the hotel in which male and female actors were on the set together. For this reason, Sahar was also taken to a center of the Commission where female officers explained to her the consequences and dangers of being with men in public places.

Okay... if you're sure you feel that way, you'd better write off your weekends: It's gonna' take a while for you to go through every county, city, state, and federal law book omitting all laws based upon the 10 Commandments. You'll want to start with those opposing murder, rape, and theft, for starters.

(re: Iowa legalizes gay marriage)

After holding back and just reading the comments I feel that I must post yet again. Say what you will but homosexuals are not even human. They are diseased, degenerate creatures who mock humans. The goal that they will freely admit to is to erase any trace of decency or humanity from the planet until we are all wallowing in filth and disease like them. If you are religous at all you recognize that this is the work of satan and that they have no souls, just lust for each other. Someone mentioned that it was Lamda who filed the suit, not Nambla. What is the difference, perversion is perversion, and if you don't think that the ACLU won't soon be filing on behalf of pedos then you are the one being foolish. The ACLU exists for purpose only, to destroy America. Hopefully one day there will be a test to determine if the fetus is gay. Then you could abort it since it is not human. Only the then will we wipe this scourge from the world. Until then we will have to do it one at a time.

It makes excellent sense to be against homosexuality, not just for Christian reasons, but for the good of society. A majority of child molestors prefer victims of their same sex (it's been documented in studies conducted by non religious universities). More importantly however, it's against the Law of the God who made you.

I hope all that don't like it move, I'll even drive you to the airport myself! The ACLU is a giant waste of time and money that could be better spent elsewhere.

The five divisions of homosexuality are...

The Stockholm (syndrome) homosexual, who was seduced and/or graduated into homosexuality by another, almost-always-older, male. The Effeminate homosexual who over-relates to women, usually due to an absent or passive father, and/or an overbearing mother. The Spotlight homosexual who’s rebelling against manlaw and loves the attention and drama that homosexuality brings. The Vagifearian homosexual who’s terrified of girls/women, usually due to older-female-on-younger-male sexual or physical or emotional abuse. And finally, the rarest of all, the Normalphobe homosexual, who is without any outward signs of homosexuality and doesn’t need or want attention, but can’t stand being sexually normal. Every homosexual is in at least one of these five divisions.
