I appreciate your spirit in this. <br /><br />I'm not interested in converting leftists and liberals to conservatism. I am interested in converting them to Biblical Christianity, which will take care of the pro-life\pro-choice issue. It is my conviction that the gospel, which has been put on the shelf in the pro-life movement, is what has the power to end abortion both in individual cases and on the national scene. <br /><br />I hope you enjoy the movie.

Though I am more of an incrementalist, that is for practical reasons. I have no problem with your overall approach.<br /><br />We do need to understand though that get a listening ear with regard to being pro-life for all in the womb, we need to listen to liberals and leftists regarding what it means to be pro-life for all outside of the womb. Unless we think that we must convert all liberals and leftists to conservatism before persuading them to be pro-life, we will make little to no progress with liberals and leftists, I, myself am a leftist, unless we listen to their pro-life concerns.

The Word of God has spoken to the issue of homosexuality, in both the Old Testament and the New. It does not change because the culture changes.

Today's culture is still shifting away from some of the old prejudices and that is because there is more exposure to people who are different.<br /><br />Thus, as much as the Christianity is seen as a practicer of prejudice, there will either be a significant redefinition of or shift away from the traditional Christianity we are accustomed to. So if we want neither to be redefined nor relegated to the past, we need to find ways of preaching against certain sins that do not include prejudice.Curt Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086508660386800294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6409789627779342423.post-29624667211524713262013-05-30T07:26:44.661-07:002013-05-30T07:26:44.661-07:00Perhaps we should also reflect on how Christians o...Perhaps we should also reflect on how Christians oppressed others when the culture was dominated by Christianity before going out and challenging today's cultureCurt Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086508660386800294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6409789627779342423.post-75678508929066606412013-05-29T08:03:32.323-07:002013-05-29T08:03:32.323-07:00Agreed, brother.

I believe there is an element of wisdom that has to come in a discussion whereby you have to choose to discuss things a certain way.<br /><br />With an academic I might use big words I wouldn't use with someone who admitted to me they had no education and couldn't read.<br /><br />The question has to be what is the heart motivation behind the way we speak to anyone. If we are returning evil for evil, or finding enjoyment in "winning" an argument, we ought to repent. <br /><br />But I have had several conversations where God allowed a harsh rebuke on my part to get someone's attention. Not to dip into psychology, but some people have never really recognized authority, so if you show them some they actually may respect it.Michael Coughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151414777657994736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6409789627779342423.post-11350484927720519392013-04-08T07:41:37.359-07:002013-04-08T07:41:37.359-07:00And that was a good line where you said without tr...And that was a good line where you said without truth there is no love (paraphrased).Michael Coughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151414777657994736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6409789627779342423.post-40054377999290229742013-04-08T07:39:58.289-07:002013-04-08T07:39:58.289-07:00Good, hard truths, Jon.
