Death is death but there is a big difference between killing the guilty and killing the innocent!Originally posted by keypurr
Death is Death, no matter how. Air strikes kill living people. Is not the issue the same? Bush has blood on his hands too. Abortion is questionable to some, murder is not.

If your son contradicts or curses you, I hope you don't stone him to death! Or maybe you can at least you can mount a frivolous lawsuit which can hold Adam and Eve accountable for that first sin....
The "cursing" you refer to (1) is not bad language (2) is not an instruction to Christians (3) is not the only punishment possible, as the "rod" was also used for punishment
Making salvation and reconcilliation available is a great idea. Grace applies to salvation, not to criminal law.Originally posted by aikido7

Are you trying to draw some moral dichotomy between air strikes on Baghdad and the culture war on abortion?

The "Before Christ" Leviticus "Holiness Code" you hide out in (1) is never applied by fundamentalists except selectively (2) is thus reframed as "not an instruction to Christians" when it serves your secular purposes and (3) is similar to most primitive societies when food, shelter and survival are the basic needs and ethical thinking and action are unthinkable and--as nacsent civilizations go--unworkable.

What does Christ do with the ones who refuse to be reconciled?
My guess is:
Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Clinton did, when forced to, sign on to welfare reform and that did help the economy.Originally posted by aikido7
Shouldn't those who care about abortion be passionately committed to changing the economic circumstances that promote it?
Since the abortion rate actually fell during the prosperous Clinton years, it is no surprise that the rate is going up--no matter what the Supreme Court has said or will say.
Minimum wage jobs are 20 to 30 per cent under the poverty line today. If a woman becomes pregnant and says "I can't afford insurance anymore--having a baby is too expensive," isn't that a question of VALUES?
Why should women in poverty be forced to make such a tragic choice out of economic necessity and survival?

No one can celebrate a genuine Christmas without being truly poor. The self-sufficient, the proud, those who--because they have everything and look down on others--even those who have no need even of God....
For them there will be no Christmas.
Only the poor, the hungry, those who need someone to come on their behalf, will have that someone. That someone is God, Emmanuel, God-with-us.
Without poverty of spirit there can be no abundance of God. --Archbishop Oscar Romero of El Salvador
