Bible Question:
I hear ya, they are doing many things. I don't want to make light of that or offend the people who are involved. It is a selfless mission. Having said that, let me address the issues you raised to make my original point. The Catholic church does not have enough conviction to survive at this point. They have an internal pedifile problem, Ted Kinnedy, John Carrey and Tom Harkin who are all not only all pro choice, they are pro abortion and they are also all for third trimester abortion, yet they have not been thrown out. Prisons? True, there is only one way help a prisoner. Install a new set of morals. Yet our government lacks in that area so much, it would be misguided if they got involved. The churches no longer have the power needed to complete their mission. It starts in the schools where they are not allowed to talk about right and wrong unless its "non god" talk. The stuff that they conclude is amazing and baseless. They are training the future prisoners of America, but at least each and everyone will know how to put a condom on a banana. Many choose to live in a bubble and home school. When the good kids leave, only the bad kids are left and there is less interfereance in their path. I guess what I am saying that there are 4 times as many battles going on as are being met. Again, I appreciate those who are participating. |
Bible Answer: A different perspective............................................. Hi Pete2, I agree with you that there are more battles in the "culture war" than there are Christians willing to fight them. This is unfortunate but it does not mean that "Christians are a no show" as you previously stated. Your statements make me curious though. How can you see so clearly that Jesus is the only answer for society as a whole, yet you are unable to see that Jesus is the only answer for yourself? |
