The Republicans never had a worse enemy than John McCain, and it appears that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree:

The DEATH Penalty and being Christian

Image
Can I be a 100% sold out born again Christian AND also support capital punishment (death penalty)?  I believe the answer is yes. From a Biblical and moral position, the book of Leviticus allows for the death penalty. There's even an allowance that if your own child curses the name of the parent, you as the parent can stone them to death. Yikes! I think that God was putting that one in knowing how hard that would be and giving humans the opportunity to show mercy.  Yes, but it is also still there. But the New Testament has put mercy over the law, one would say.  Jesus came as fulfillment of the law, and yes his one sacrifice on the cross eliminates the sacrificial system.  Isn't it interesting that for thousands of years the Jews made sacrifices to God, and then after the Romans destroy the temple there have not been sacrifices since? But even though we now live under mercy, what are we to do with those who are pure evil.  #Gosnell comes to mind.  J...

When Christmas Truly Became About Family

     When I was a young boy in the 70's, it was probably around the time I was 9 (my memory on the exact year is fuzzy), our family had what I consider to be our best Christmas ever.  It was because we were out of money, and that meant that Christmas that year was about family.  It was not going to be about toys and presents.      I'm the youngest of three siblings.  My brother is the oldest, then my sister in the middle, and then me - the baby brother.  I don't exactly remember If I was still holding onto the Santa Claus myth at this time but after this particular Christmas that was all moot.      My dad was a real estate associate and also worked the docks at night.  Two jobs all the time.  Always working, and especially on the weekends trying to land big real estate deals.  Unfortunately, many of the deals he was working hadn't closed escrow before the holidays.  We were living only off of his dock...

Verily, Verily Jesus is not a socialist

My step-brother-in-law posted a link on fb to an article proposing that Jesus was a socialist.  I've read references to this in other places but I never bothered to read them.  It always seemed sacrilegious to tie political terminology to the creator of space and time.  Or to think of it in other terms, mankind's created political systems being superimposed on a pre-existent all-knowing God. This time I followed the link and read the first several paragraphs before having a mental vomit fest of the heresy I was reading. Liberals have been trying to de-demonize socialism for decades.  Twisting Jesus around to their political ideology is sick.  As others have written, I am not going to propose that Jesus was a conservative.  In fact when Jesus says to give unto Caesar what is Caesar's, he is distinctly separating himself and his ministry from earthly governments.  Jesus will eventually setup a government on a new earth and there will also ...
