As for the Ten...here is the rest of my response. <br /><br />As for the Ten Commandments and whether there should be a law or not using them.<br /><br />Murder -- Yes<br />Stealing -- Yes<br />Adultery -- Yes<br /><br />Honoring your parents -- every child "should" do this for a "normal" family.<br /><br />Coveting -- What good can come from this??<br /><br />Sabbath -- the good that comes from this is the needed rest that we all need.<br /><br />Blaspheming -- it is amazing how many people will take the Creator's name in vain and would never consider using their mom's name in vain. Or Hitler's name in vain.<br /><br />Idol Worshipping -- all non-christians worship idols!! money, car, fame, job, you name it!<br /><br />Worship God and Him alone -- if you want to go to heaven you need to do this!<br /><br />You also said, "If you are willing to say "Yes" to any of these things, then you value your own extreme faith over the freedoms and rights that men and women have died to build and protect. That in and of itself is an act so selfish that it puts all of us in danger. Shame on you."<br /><br />"extreme" faith?? Thank you!! I want to take my faith to the extremes!! All the way to the point that we are told to take it! Obedience to His Holy Word!<br /><br />You have never once lost "your" freedom to not worship God. But at the same time you have never experienced the saving faith that comes from God! <br /><br />I will pray for you to come to know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior and that you would be willing to repent of your sins.pastorbrianculverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07325788116682801754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6591518369598505341.post-29868967893823583392009-04-20T07:41:00.000-05:002009-04-20T07:41:00.000-05:00Yonah,
It is sad to see how much society really do...Yonah,<br />It is sad to see how much society really does not get the idea of the cross.<br /><br />you said, "Would you support a law that makes it illegal to not believe in God?"<br /><br />my response to this...<br />whether one believes in God or not is totally dependent on the individual person. A law has no bearing on the matter. Each person will be held accountable for their actions on earth. Heaven and Hell await each person, depending on whether they have put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ. You can't "make" someone believe in God. All of creation points to a Creator, but not all people "see!"<br /><br /> "How about a law ordering you to go to Church on Sunday?"<br /><br />Again, this is ridiculous at best. I am not condemning you for making the statement, but it all comes down to each person's personal decision. They will be held accountable.<br /><br /> "Why not make all 10 commandments federal law?"<br /><br /><br />(I will post the rest of my response to this in a couple of hours. please be patient with me as I am at work!)pastorbrianculverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07325788116682801754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6591518369598505341.post-19243637576214267942009-04-19T14:08:00.000-05:002009-04-19T14:08:00.000-05:00The man in the picture is NOT ex-judge Roy Moore. ...The man in the picture is NOT ex-judge Roy Moore. I'm not sure who this friendly looking old man is, but his picture was also used in an email that I have seen passed around. A real picture of him can be found in this news story from 2006:<br /><br />http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12918042/<br /><br />Rather creepy looking if you ask me. Every one of you that supports Roy Moore needs to ask yourself just how far would you go. Would you support a law that makes it illegal to not believe in God? How about a law ordering you to go to Church on Sunday? Why not make all 10 commandments federal law?<br /><br />If you are willing to say "Yes" to any of these things, then you value your own extreme faith over the freedoms and rights that men and women have died to build and protect.

I see where they sang the song again last night and this time they sang it with the name of Jesus in it!! Praise God. I don't personally watch the show because too many songs have to do with either sex, adultery or drinking. I'm not going to hold my breath that AI has changed their ways.pastorbrianculverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07325788116682801754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6591518369598505341.post-15449885761286856022008-04-11T08:24:00.000-05:002008-04-11T08:24:00.000-05:00I went to the link and watched the video and read ...I went to the link and watched the video and read some of the comments....I'm actually really surprised that AI would use that song (even though they took out Jesus). If I remember correctly, I once read that it's sung by more Christians in church services every week than any other song. Would I prefer that they left the song as written? Of course, but I'm still really surprised that they used it. Unless someone has never heard the song before (which I would imagine is very few people) I would think that anyone who hears it is going to somehow associate it with the church.<BR/><BR/>I don't think that I would call it a "light in the darkness" as some commentors wrote, but the whole thing is just very perplexing to me...I'm very curious as to who decided that they should use that song....00https://www.blogger.com/profile/05537409519473805118noreply@blogger.com
