Ante Jesus (not Trolling)

Posted By Doug Matulis

Jim Johnson said:

Jim B mentioned Ghandi in heaven in an earlier post. Since only the saved can enter heaven, how will good people who lived before Jesus (including Abraham, Moses, David) enter heaven? Jesus stated that at that time King David was still in his grave. Also what about those born after Jesus who never heard the good news? I am curious as to the differing views on this topic. It was my understanding that after Armageddon there will be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous and at that time they will get a chance to choose. That view would mean that none of these were in heaven or hell.

The book of Romans has all your answers, specifically the first 8 chapters. Faith has always been the source of salvation, OT and NT, and the object of that faith has always been the person of Jesus Christ. OT, faith in His coming, NT, faith in His completed work.

Court says it does irreparable damage and can be requested when the child reaches age of consent. Weere they right to nip it in the bud? Could it happen here? Would anyone care?

COPS - can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em

Late last night, my wife and I headed out for a snack run to the local QT convenience store. I made a right on red and was proceeding at the speed limit on an empty thoroughfare and a cop blew right by me going 60 to 70 in a 35 zone. Was he on a call? Was he backing up a brother officer? Nope. He pulled into QT ahead of me and got coffee and a snack. :S I'm not so sure that them boys are really in it, "to help people."

Cops don't obey the traffic laws. That is why I love getting behind them on the tollway. The tollway speeds are 55, but the state troopers do 75-85mph. It saves me time and they clear a wide path. Its a beautiful thing.

Isn't it time...?

...to let ALL of President Bushs tax cuts expire? As a fiscal conservative the amount of debt combined with the skewed tax burden in this country are really starting to make me worry for the condition of the US when my sons generation has to start paying for things. The "poor" don't pay taxes, the semi poor don't either and the middle class as a tax source is shrinking. Let's be honest here. Only the rich pay a significant amount of taxes and even their money is being shielded by the lower cap gains tax rate. Half the population has no steak in our system because they don't or barely help pay for it.

Medicaid, Medicare, social security, defense,and now Obamacare. All of them could easily collapse in on one another, all of them need to be fixed, and our tax revenue is falling.

Generally speaking a low tax environment is good, but haven't we gone far past the point of diminishing returns? How are we going to pay for all these things without taxing the hell out of our kids in a presumably low growth economy. Where have all the true fi-cons gone?


The way to increase tax revenue is to [SIZE="Small"]lower[/SIZE] the tax rates, promote business growth through [SIZE="Small"]lower[/SIZE] taxes and less regulation thereby increasing the number of tax payers and resulting in [SIZE="Large"]increased[/SIZE] revenue for the government to mis-use.

Why Obama must not be reelected!

I hope the fool does not get re-elected either, but lets not forget the importance of the Legislative branch! We need a conservative, veto proof, super-majority elected this November. This is equally as important as sending Obama back to Kenya.
