Thank you....I have a better understanding of this now...]]> Mon, 20 May 2013 10:37:32 CDT http://the-highway.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/49727/Re_The_Fiscal_Cliff_Crisis_and.html#Post49727 Posted by John_C:
I didn't get to listen to all the youtube video, but it appears to me that it is easy to debunk the Roman Catholic economic doctrine just by looking at the new world countries influenced by the Catholics, and those influenced by the Protestants. What would Pope Francis say in answering those types of questions.

On another front, I see more writings from Reformed perspectives in regards to justice issues in that there may be a movement pushing that agenda. There is no doubt the church does many things wrong, but to discount everything done in the last three-fourths century is just throwing out too much. I kinda see it as people feeling more productive in changing physical and emotional needs. Changing spiritual needs is more abstract and lots harder.]]> Wed, 15 May 2013 09:06:08 CDT http://the-highway.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/49720/Re_Soldiers_Not_Allowed_to_Sha.html#Post49720 Posted by Tom:
Just in case you or someone else is interested I just received another e-mail concerning this issue.

You can read about it here.

I have noticed several references to the Trinity Foundation on the Highway.
The inquisitive person that I am I thought I would follow the link.
I happened to notice that John Robbins says some rather unflattering thing to say about a number of people such as the late John Gerstner and RC Sproul.
For instance in the following link we read the following concerning Sproul`s book `Now That’s A Good Question``.

"SPROUL: The great issue of the Protestant Reformation in the sixteenth century was, How is a person justified? Luther's controversial position was that we are justified by faith alone. When he said that, many of the godly leaders in the Roman Catholic Church were very upset.


"Godly Roman Catholic Leaders"
ROBBINS: Oddly, without warning or explanation, Sproul suddenly changes topics, from faith to justification. Please note well the adjectives Sproul uses: Luther's position on justification, which is in fact the Biblical doctrine, is "controversial," but leaders of the Roman (...)]]> Wed, 01 May 2013 00:21:42 CDT http://the-highway.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/49662/Re_Public_Prayer_in_a_Pluralis.html#Post49662 Posted by Kodiak:
Thank you for your response....]]> Mon, 22 Apr 2013 08:35:26 CDT http://the-highway.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/49655/Re_Precedents_in_Scripture.html#Post49655 Posted by Kodiak:
What does it mean when Jesus said in Mark 10:5-7 that divorce was allowed because of the hardness of the peoples heart? It would seem that God has three positions on our actions:
He has the position of "Thou shalt not", things He will never approve as not being sinful. If we do them we sin and need forgiveness.
He has the position of "Thou shalt", things we can and may do that are not considered sin and we are free to do with his pleasure.
He has the position of "I do not want you to do this action, but will allow you to do it because of the hardness of your heart".
Is this a precedent that has been set that illustrates there are actions that God may allow us to do because of the hardness of our hearts even though He does not want us to do them which are not sin?
How did God view divorce before he allowed Moses to write a certificate of divorce? As a sin? If God viewed it as a sin, why would the hardness of peoples heart be a reason to allow them to commit this sin as an (...)]]> Sun, 21 Apr 2013 19:59:42 CDT http://the-highway.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/49627/Re_New_Transgender_Student_Gui.html#Post49627 Posted by Cranmer:
This is just more evidence of irrationalism out of control. If individual choice extends even to the denial of biological and physical body such that the "mind" identifies one's gender rather than the physical body, then it would appear that a person's biological determination of gender is irrelevant. The "mind" is all that is real?

Ironically, Dr. Gordon H. Clark, the advocate of presuppositional apologetics, said that the rational and logical mind is the divine image and likeness of God in man. The physical body is but a tabernacle in which the soul resides. It would seem that the liberals have taken that definition to a whole new level. For Clark to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. The mind or soul lives on after death.]]> Sun, 21 Apr 2013 13:21:15 CDT http://the-highway.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/49616/Re_Gosnell_Trial.html#Post49616 Posted by Hitch:
'Television journalism' is the oxymoron of the last century.

Yes the silence is defining.

I believe the near collapse of anything like a standard for instance journalistic standards reflects what began happening in the American church, just over 100 years ago, specifically the rise of Dispensationalism and the intellectual dishonesty required to maintain that system. JV McGee's famous line ;" You dont polish the brass on a sinking ship' is mirrored all too well in the silence that still echos even today. Did you know that Roe v Wade was fought and lost in Dallas County Tx? Home of Dallas Theological Seminary, the staff and faculty of which stood silent during that case?

McGee's pragmatism was false, as well as cynical. He twisted divine revelation to suit his (and DTS) agenda of a rapidly failing culture as prelude to rapture. He wanted the ship to sink. I dont see much difference between McGee and the media of 2013.

Tom,

I have been unable to find anything that would support the claim that it is illegal to store up more than 2 weeks of non-perishable food. The only thing I could find that was remotely related is the current administration's policy concerning the identity of possible terrorists. One of the identifying marks of a possible terrorist is that a person has more than a week's worth of food in storage. Do you think I am kidding? HERE.

IF there was such a bill that made it illegal to store 2+ weeks of food, the cost involved to enforce it would be no constraint to the current US government. Their unbridled spending is infamous and the national debt increases daily and without impunity.

There is currently no universal law requiring gun registration in the US. Any attempt to introduce such a law would (...)]]> Fri, 08 Mar 2013 05:59:24 CST http://the-highway.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/49552/Re_Debate_on_Gay_Marriage.html#Post49552 Posted by Tom:
