Just For The Record

All of this below relates to this. This is a comment that I left. I rest my case that I present no ad hominem arguments. I don’t call names. I don’t disrespect people who disagree with me. I simply expect educated people to speak reasonably.   This my reply that is, at 9:42 pm...

I cheered from the sidelines when the hacktivist group Anonymous attacked, took down, and defaced the website of the hate group: The Westboro Baptist Church; the nasty “God hates fags” folk who like to picket funerals for some unknown reason.

Christian Liberty: A Look At Romans 14 Part 1

This is a rough version of a paper I did a while back. Some of the Scripture quotes have been removed for sake of space, but the citations remain in the text. One need only mouse over them to see the text. The Will of God And Questionable Issues Types of Questionable Issues As...
