As a devout Christian that believes the only path to the Father is thru His son Christ our Savior I find the divisions in the Christian faith sad. I pray we can all focus on the suffering of our fellow man and stop fighting between our brothers in Christ. And yes, I am a proud Roman Catholic. May the peace of Christ be with you all.

[...] Back in late November 2008 the Executive-Pastor of the 28,000-member First Baptist Church of Jacksonville, Florida started a series of blog posts on the “Catholic cult” and referred to a Catholic priest from South Carolina as a “Cult leader.” I wrote about FBC Jax and Jim Smyrl in a post titled “A Southern Baptist War on the Catholic Church ‘Cult’.” [...]

Gushee?
He used to be a well-balanced theologian; but his theology has been deteriorating for the past two years. This deterioration was dramatically evident this summer, when he abandoned biblical orthodoxy on sexual ethics issues. Several friends of mine say that Gushee has become a dissapointment.
What’s your last name Cliff?
Don’t leave us hanging…:)

Though I’m the “snarky” (BDW’s description) fundamentalist around here, I want to encourage all of you to calm the emotional and personal nature of the discussion.

BDW: You and the progressives jumped on Carlos like you wished he’d been aborted instead of born.

Joe Blackmon: I come down on your side of the debate, but you’re too caustic.

Jax Watchdog: You need to find another church instead of submarining the one you’re in.

I’m disgusted with the whole lot of you.

“As to abortion - I’ve championed on numerous occasions here on this blog legislation that promotes abortion reduction. I have not, however, championed abortion rights. Again, get a clue.”

Key word being “reduction”. If your proposed legislation simply reduces abortions that implies that there would still be some abortions being performed. Those abortions would still be legal and therefore people would have the “right” to those abotions under law. The goal should be to return abortion to a status of being illegal, not to reduce the number of legal abortions. By saying that you simply want the number of abotions reduced you prove that you are in support of abortion rights.

But don’t get your knickers in a twist, my little snot–abortion isn’t going to be made illegal anytime soon.
