Absolutely. And yet when it comes to stretching the interpretation for their benefit, that's acceptable to them.

Implications of gay marriage ruling
by Rattigan350 inwhile many think that the ruling is good for the gays and their response is: how does that affect your marriage; then on the other side the religious people cry god and sinners.
but both are missing the forest through the trees.. the problem with the ruling is that which is discussed here so many times.
five unelected federal officials decided on policy for the whole country, running roughshod over every democratic principle.

Thinking about taking my fiance to a meeting.. going as a "worldly person"
by OneStepOut93 ini may take my fiance to a meeting.
give them fake names and just see how my fiance reacts.
he's been curious about seeing what i hated so much about the whole thing (not that he'll really understand everything, i mean of course he never will to my extent but)... i'd like to see what an outsiders view on the whole thing would be as well.

I've decided to make a difference that REALLY matters
by Mrs. Eden inhello friends!today is a sad day for me, as seven months have gone by since my mother passed away after a decades-long fight with breast cancer..
because the witnessing/preaching/teaching work doesn't make any sense to me anymore; because it's not about any "truth"; and because it's basically useless, i've decided to quit doing it.
instead, i've decided to do something that actually can make a real difference in other people's lives.

Too bad for you and your anti-gay crowd. I just can't see why you can't be happy for other humans trying to find happiness themselves.

The Greatest Paradox
by Perry innow that i have been a born again christian for 10 years, i see things that just boggles my mind.
like this: we all spent untold hours in the field service telling people (mostly christians) about the paradise earth.
that was the reason we were at their door.

The Rebel:
The heart has no emotional feelings like love, it's simply a muscle for pumping blood. Using it in a figure of speech is fine but not for realistic thinking. Like "His heart is in the right place" as a figure of speech is fine, but realistically where else would it be? In his elbow? Good powers of perception have no place for basing decisions on feelings, it's the very reason people in high risk and dangerous professions are taught to control their instincts - instincts all too often influence poor decision making and cost lives.
Evaluation should be pragmatic, not emotional. Compassion is an emotion which motivates us to make us evaluate events which bother our conscience, but evaluting the events themselves should not incorporate emotions, they will only serve to cloud the facts and lead to irrational decisions.
