Tim Good points you make Just one thought if I may add it Government is to suppose to maintain a position of neutrality towards religion, neither prohibiting it, or promoting it. New Creature |

Parable you said; "No one here is persecuted for their faith." So from what you believe would you classify the following cases as individuals being persecuted for the faith? In Texas, a U.S. District judge decreed that any student uttering the word "Jesus" at his school's graduation would be arrested and locked up. "And make no mistake," announced Judge Samuel B. Kent, "the court is going to have a United States marshal in attendance at the graduation. If any student offends this court, that student will be summarily arrested and will face up to six months incarceration in the Galveston County Jail for contempt of court." In Missouri, when 4th-grader Raymond Raines bowed his head in prayer before his lunch in the cafeteria of Waring Elementary School in St. Louis, his teacher allegedly ordered him out of his seat, in full view of other students present, and sent him to the principal’s office. After his third such prayer "offense," little Raymond was segregated from his classmates, ridiculed for his religious beliefs, and given one week's detention. in Bowling Green, Kentucky in February 2002 the Logan County Public Library fired library employee Kimberly Draper, for wearing a cross pendant to work. Brenda Nichol, who works as an Instructional Assistant in the Penns Manor Area Elementary School in Clymer, PA. was suspended for one year without pay after refusing to remove a one-and-a-quarter inch cross pendant that she had been wearing on her necklace.

Tim; While the Constitution prohibits the government from establishing a state religion, the state already has established a national religion, against the establishment clause of the First Amendment. The religion which the government has established, supports and gives tax exempt status to, is the Religion of Secular Humanism, which is a non-theistic religion. If anyone doubts that Humanism is a religion, reading the "Humanist Manifesto's will remove any doubt. Therefore the State is definetly in violation of the "establishment clause" Also consider the following: "since the theory of evolution is based on many inferences that cannot be “proven” beyond a doubt, evolution then is really a doctrine of faith, religious faith" (state of Arkansas Act 590 of 1981 - Balanced Treatment of Creation-Science and Evolution-Science Act - Section 6) "Religious evolutionary atheistic humanism does not have Sunday schools as we know them. It has effective Monday through Friday schools which are change agents for humanism. It passes no collection plates, for every citizen pays for it through government taxation." (unknown) "John Dunphy, wrote in the Humanist magazine: “I am convinced that the battle for humankinds future must be waged and won in the public school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as proselytizers of a new faith. They will be ministers of another sort, utilizing a classroom instead of a pulpit to convey humanist values in whatever subject they teach. The classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between the old and the new. The rotting corpse of Christianity, and the new faith of humanism.” God Bless you Tim New Creature |

I agree Thats why I repeated the Seward quote which stated; "There is a higher law than the Constitution" Concerning whether or not the phrase "under God" should be removed or not, I personally don't see where this nation is "under God" This nation has rejected God, and has in too many instances put his law behind their backs. Abortion is the law of the land. Homosexual marriage is being legalized. While their are individuals in the Nation who have submitted theirselves to God, the majority have not done so. Lets face it the true religion of this Nation is Secular Humanism which enjoys tax exempt status, and is the only religion which receives tax support in the public school pulpits to teach evolution as if it were fact.

If you want Scriptural support for civil disobedience, I will give you two examples. One from the Old Testament and another from the New Testament. Ex 1:15 And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah: Ex 1:16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. Ex 1:17 But the midwives feared God, and DID NOT AS THE KING OF EGYPT COMMANDED THEM, but saved the men children alive. (Capitalization mine for emphasis) In Acts 4, Peter and John were commanded not to speak or teach in the name of Jesus. Then in Acts 5, we see the Apostles disregarding the previous orders, and they are found again teaching in Jesus name. The Apostles rule was; "We must obey God rather than men!" Acts 5:29. We are citizens of Heaven and as Seward whom I quoted in my previous reply said: "There is a higher law than the Constitution" We owe first allegiance to God. We are in this world, but not of this world. We currently are sojourning on enemy territory. Finally civil law is instituted mainly for the ungodly, not the righteous man, in Christ. 1 Tim. 1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, If you want Scriptural support for civil disobedience, I will give you two examples.

226 | Where can I find 3 kinds of Love? | 1 Cor 13:4 | New Creature | 105357 | ||
Searcher I have found that things I belived in the past were not totally Biblical. For instance; when I was new to the Christian faith, I was taught about "Eternal Security" but then as I continued to read and meditate on God's word, I personally find that teaching to not be exactly Biblical as it is being taught by many teachers. By continuing to prayerfully read God's word, God continues to teach me new things, and correct my understanding. So, if I were to say that my view won't or can't change, then that would be unwise because of past experience. I try to remain teachable and correctable. Thanks for your response New Creature |

227 | Where can I find 3 kinds of Love? | 1 Cor 13:4 | New Creature | 105305 | ||
Searcher OK Thanks But as I said previously. Don't allow one verse to alter your view of the majority of Scripture. Don't build a doctrine or a theology on just one single verse of the Bible. Peace New Creature |

228 | Where can I find 3 kinds of Love? | 1 Cor 13:4 | New Creature | 105289 | ||
Searcher No it does not in anyway shape or form change my view - Now, for the 3rd time, does it in some way effect your view of apage love? New Creature |

229 | Do tares represent hypocrites? | Matt 13:38 | New Creature | 105285 | ||
Thanks Ray you stated; "Many weeds look like the crop they grow in" Don't people who attend church all look pretty much alike outwardly as well? This is why I think it is very likely that the tares of Matthew 13 could actually be representative of counterfeit Christian's or hypocrites - those who are pretending to be something they in actuality they really aren't New Creature |

231 | Where can I find 3 kinds of Love? | 1 Cor 13:4 | New Creature | 105221 | ||
The point is one verse does not effect or alter my view of God's unconditional Agape love. I have never built a theology around just one single verse. Does it effect your view of love? If so how? |
||||||
232 | Where can I find 3 kinds of Love? | 1 Cor 13:4 | New Creature | 105183 | ||
It doesn't effect it at all. How does it affect your view? | ||||||
233 | Where can I find 3 kinds of Love? | 1 Cor 13:4 | New Creature | 105125 | ||
I find it interesting that in this verse the word chosen for love is agapao. How do I explain it's use here? I can't. How do you explain it's use in that form in this verse. |

234 | Saved from sin? | Matt 1:21 | New Creature | 104682 | ||
Mommapbs; Thanks I typed it in a hurry, I didn't have much time. So here it is the way I intended it to read Someone once explained it to me this way: "We have been saved (past tense) from the penalty of sin, which is called justification. We are being saved, (present tense) from the power of sin, which is called sanctification. And we yet shall be saved, (future tense) from the presence of sin, which is called glorification."

Gretings Makarios I agree. It is essential to know the theological bent of Commentary authors. As we all know, you can go to a Calvinistic Commentary and can get a Calvinistic view on scripture, or you can go to an Arminian Commentary, and get a differing view on certain Scripture. Or you can go to other Commentaries and get some other varied, and slightly different view of the same Scripture. I often quote from Commentaries, when I sense that the Commentary author is correct, and omit him if I sense otherwise. It's best to just believe Scipture, and avoid Commentaries since Commentaries and footnotes can be, and often are misleading. We need to exercise discernment and caution in using them. I'm sure you agree. Peace to you New Creature |

Greetings Makarios James Burton Coffman is one of the leading authorities in the Church of Christ. The Coffman Commentaries written by James Burton Coffman are reproduced by permission of Abilene Christian University Press, Abilene, Texas. You can view the Coffman Commentaries at studylight.org While I don't personally agree with all the teachings of that denomination, I did however find that I could agree with Mr. Coffman where I have quoted him. I hope this answers your question Peace New Creature |
