The Remarkable Gift



Go here and read about the wonderful gift of friends who stand beside us, and will pray with us, even when it does not feel so "special", or "wonderful", or "a blessing" or any of those other tired out and trite Christian words.

Nice, Steve. So I don't agree with your point of view of stuff. You can question my morality by saying I have subscribe to a "culture of death" and I simply point of the hypocrisy in showing arguably a "culture of death" that the right has with its use of war as a panacea. But what is your response? You delete my post. How very "Christian" of you... or shall I say intolerant. Very Karl Rove of you.

Christians today, namely evangelicals, need to take a history course and learn what Christ expressed of the Jews during His time. I think there is a distinct parallel in the purity rights (and what the Jews felt about them and used them for their own gain) and Christians today and the church.

I believe Christ is the messiah... But reading the post here and the intolerance displayed makes me ashamed to be called a Christian considering the society implications. I continue to choose to let my acts define my evangelism and not by hosting a blog. Very sad. How you've changed from the days of being a Bel Air counselor.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I think you misintrepreted my point, and I apologize for that. Now you might like to share your identity, since you know me from long ago.

I'll have to believe you on that... However, I am surprised that you wouldn't know that "culture of death" is a slogan that, while coined by Pope JP II, has been used by Karl Rove & Co. to demonize the left. For me, to the extent it essential accuses an entire political group as morally bankrupt is a moral equivalent to the “N” word.

That said, I apologize for “going off.” Re-reading my post, I see that while it has bothered me nearly all of my posts have been ignored and/or deleted; I did let my emotions get away from me. For that I apologize.

It might be best that I simply keep my anonymity and leave your blog. I don’t seem to fit into its demographic. I wish you well, Steve.

"JW"

I am sorry that you cannot indicate who you are. It would be nice to catch up with an old Bel Air friend, I have been in touch with several over the past months. I think you misunderstood the entire post, and I would encourage you to actually check the link in that post, as that is the core of the message; about Christian community, not the military. I only used the photo as an introduction, not a statement. You took it the wrong way, and I am sorry about that.
