Should Women Leave Their Homes, Husbands and Children to Fight For Their Country?

Military mom heads to duty, kids in tow reads the headline. Feminist women glee with pride, shout proclamations that they own one of the chard's of glass from the glass ceiling now shattered and abolished from Christian law. This headline caught my attention for several reasons but perhaps the most important is the lack of Christian voice against its destructive faculties upon Biblical womanhood. Is Biblical womanhood defined by the female ape following the male human? No, quite the contrary. God created them male and female.

Is Sen. Feingold Right? Should The Fed Death Penalty Be Rejected?



U.S. Sen. Feingold introduced legislation to eliminate the Fed death penalty. He says the death penalty is inconsistent with basic American principles of justice, liberty and equality. He is right, at least if considered in light of the way America did believe from its founding to well over 100 yrs. after, but has since changed. Capital punishment was long practiced in America. With today’s loosening manliness prevailing however, it is easy to justify anything. What he is saying is America’s values do not fit the role of the Bible. The Bible clearly authorizes the death penalty by a government for a multitude of crimes. Romans 13:4 says “For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.” And Job 19:29 says you should fear the sword yourselves; for wrath will bring punishment by the sword,
and then you will know that there is judgment.” As far as I know, a sword has one purpose which has been demonstrated quite often, I’m sorry to say, by unbelieving Muslims. In truth, America’s leaders have turned their back on God’s law and God can use our enemies who do not believe as we once did to punish us.

It seems Feingold is more concerned with fitting into the mold of what other nations want us to be rather than standing for what God wants us to be. He says, “It is truly unfortunate that we are in a shrinking minority of countries that continue to allow state-sponsored executions.” I don’t think he doesn’t know God’s law; I think he purposely avoids it by looking to what men say in other countries.

He says the death penalty's cost, ineffectiveness, and associated racial disparities are reasons for introducing the legislation. A public hanging is not expensive. I know of no more effective deterrent to crime, particularly for the one who committed the crime being punished, then to take their life because they can no longer commit crime. Deuteronomy 13:9-11 says “you must certainly put him to death. Your hand must be the first in putting him to death, and then the hands of all the people. 10 Stone him to death, because he tried to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 11 Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and no one among you will do such an evil thing again.

Should Mrs. Smith Be The Odds-On Favorite For Christian Voters In The District Three Congressional Race?

Mrs. Smith would not be the odds on favorite for me for several reasons. First and foremost, and I know I am an odd-ball here and probably most certainly in the minority, though I have met many older folks and some younger one’s as well who agree with me, I believe the Bible teaches that a woman’s primary concern should be to stay at home and take care of her husband, her children and her home. I do not see the public arena generally as a place for a Christian woman to be. In fact, Is 3:12 says that women in leadership is an indication of a country that has turned its back on God’s principles. I will not vote for her particularly if there is a Christian man who is running and he is conservative. I know she has said she is considering her family, but at this point I am not so sure she is. Secondly, it is reprehensible to me as a Vet that a women, and one who has never served in the military even as a nurse or secretary none-the-less, would be casting votes to send men to fight & die for their families. Third, she is not strongly conservative enough for me on some issues. Mr. Gobble said he would have voted against the Bailout that Wamp voted for and Smith says Gobble should not second guess Wamp. I disagree. Wamp was dead-on wrong to vote for such a philosophy. I addressed this topic with a video of a black pastor who disagreed with Palin running for the vice-presidency in another blog.

What Does The Second Amendment Mean To A Convicted Felon?

Often times when I hear the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (2nd) discussed, even by those calling themselves conservative, and quite often by those running for political office, they allow for the prohibition of firearms possession by those who have been convicted of a felony. I do not share this view, nor do I believe it passes Constitutional muster. The 2nd says “. . . the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” The term infringe comes from the Latin infringere and means to break or weaken. The term is also interesting when considered in the context of patents where "the party infringing is responsible to pay the original patent or copyright owner substantial damages, which can be the normal royalty or as much as the infringers' accumulated gross profits." An analysis of the term as used in patent litigation is important because it seems a majority of cases dealing with infringement involve patent cases. One can quite easily note our Framers provided no limitations upon such right. This is important because it shows us the value of an individual’s life, even one charged with a crime, to protect himself and his family.
A conviction of a crime should not be used as a tool to structure governmental control of one’s constitutional right to protect himself and his family. Does this mean a murderer should be allowed to carry a firearm? I brought up this particular scenario in a discussion with a county Sheriff recently. I told him that the constitution does not provide any parameters to the right of an individual to use a firearm to protect himself. Now what about those who are bent on harming others wrongfully? I said then as I do now, if we upheld the laws we have on the books and carried out capital punishment quickly and decisively, there would be no individuals to harm others wrongfully with their firearm. As I came to believe a long time ago, from the Bible, and even after my law school education, there is no better deterrent to crime then the elimination of the one who has or will commit another crime. Generally, if a person has been convicted of a felonious crime (one carrying a penalty of imprisonment for 1 year or more), their right to protect themselves by means of a firearm should not be hindered unless their crime was murder in the first degree, whereas in such case, the death penalty would be applied.

Does The Republican Party Follow Scripture When It Comes To Female Leadership?

The subject of women in political leadership carries with it no little political correctness discourse even among the most conservative individuals. Many Christians were googlie-eyed at the thought of Palin as President. I was not. This is a subject I believe needs to be faced honestly to understand God's design in Creation and how Christians in the Republican Party will flesh out their Biblical beliefs. We do have a problem in the Republican party and it's called political correctness wedded with theological ignorance. Indeed, many in leadership are stating that we need to return to our roots. But many ask, what are our roots? We claim gay marriage is wrong in society, but why?, because the Bible says homosexuality is wrong? Well the Bible shows male leadership as the general norm in scripture both in the home and in society so why have we turned our back on this principle? What we have in our country today is a lack of theological understanding because Christians do not read their Bible and do not understand what God designed. I am writing a book about the subject myself write now. This video I think sheds some light on the problem. This video in which Voddie Baucham, who is of a different race then I, shows the universal application of scripture to our political views. The Republican Party elected an African-American as their national chair and they think they have made great strides. So what. What I care about is does he folow Biblical teaching. I thank God for Voddie and his fearlessness in serving God.

Where Do States Turn to When The Unemployed Come Asking For Money?

There are only two places to go to when the State needs more money to give away-go to those who are making it fiat that is the Fed, or to employers who are earning it. The justification of turning to the State for our needs is ill-fated. I have always been against workers comp. The fact is, life is rarely a bowl of cherries. If you lose your job, as long as you are capable, get of your hiny and find another or do anything legal, just get to work. Unemployment insurance is just another means by which the State controls and diminishes our own responsibility so we can become servants to the State. There is no guarantee, such as in times like this, that there will be enough to cover everybody. What happens if unemployment hits 35%? I dare say most folks would rather sell apples than starve to death. So if you have to sell apples do it. Just stop whinning and running to the State.

Not all events planned for Inauguration will be taking place as planned

D.C. gay pig-sex orgy advocates abandon reservations at Washington's Doubletree Hotel after pressure from Christians & others.

From sea to shining sea, America's moral collapse is hastening. 2009 Celebrates 25 years down the road as celebrities such as Joan Rivers will have part in promoting the gay agenda.

It appears police mind their own business during such events and the US House Speaker encourages such activity.

Christians have a duty to oppose these events within their city's. Remember, God hates sin, but he loves the sinner. I think of the women at the well. Jesus knew her past but still loved her. And then I think of the Sodomites who were bent on their own destruction to rape Lot's visitors. God speaks to the hearts of His creatures. Do they listen?
