If you cannot believe that a CareNet Pregnancy Center (pro-life) counselor could be objective, how could you believe a counselor who’s [sic] paycheck comes from abortion could be completely objective, or even attempt to encourage anything but the “easy way” out[?] …
Planned Parenthood, like any company, knows how to grow its market. The key is to allow as much sex to happen as possible, and to do what it can to prevent anyone from voicing a message of restraint:

Re: IPPF.
Let’s put sex back in the bedroom where it belongs. These people are nuts.
Haven’t read Albert Mohler’s article, but…
Our taxes are already supporting a host of causes that are an abomination to the Biblical God. For us to determine to ourselves that abortion tips the balance is simply that: us determining to ourselves.
This is an abomination.
“Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities,” Paul wrote the church at Rome. He added: “For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.” [Romans 13:1]
I would love to hear Mr. Mohler parse Martin Luther King, Jr.’s ‘Letter from the Birmingham jail’ and exclude all the things that King was doing that ran afoul of his understanding of Romans 13:1.
If King had followed Mohlers narrow and convienent understanding of scripture, black americans would still be riding in the back of the bus.
There is a ‘balance’ for each individual and it will only come by following the leading of Holy Spirit, something that few ‘southern baptists’ come to know other than theoretically.
They seem to view Holy Spirt as a ghost writer and silent partner who is pretty much uninvolved in the affairs of men and nations.
They do not ‘consult HOLY SPIRIT. They just read the ‘book’ and reason things out for themselves using only their natural minds, much the same as their liberal/progressive brethren in some of the other older established denominations and most of the time they seldom agree and they usually both ‘miss the mark’ by a wide marging.
The scarry thing is when they both come to the same opinion on a mater and they consider that proof positive that they have arrived at the ‘truth’.

The motto of ‘planned parenthood’:
“The family that preys together, slays together.”
If a little dyin is good, more is better.
Partial birth abortion: a brain is a terrible thing to waste. Use it or lose it.

Ken, God’s will and Word are not opposed.
As Martin Luther said–and he was quite an emotional guy–if a “Holy Spirit” tells me anything contrary to God’s revealed will, then I strike that “Holy Spirit” on the snout! Such a spirit actually comes from its father the devil. He was a liar from the beginning, and when he tells a lies, he does so naturally, because he is the father of lies. Going forth to deceive, he regularly appears as an angel of light.
The Holy Spirit, however, does not draw attention to Himself but to the Lord Jesus Christ, just as Jesus Christ glorifies the Father.
Let our moderation be known to all men. We seek to live a quiet life in all godliness and purity. We pray for those in authority over us. We trust in our heavenly Father to provide for us. We reject the spirit of anarchy.
Jon,
What did followers of Christ do for the first 300 years when there was not a ‘book’?
And what did believers do for about a thousand years when the only ‘book’ they had was written in ‘latin’ and they were completely illiterate or at least unable to understand ‘latin’.
Did Holy Spirit cease to do and speak?
When Paul wrote in 1 Thess 2:13,
And we also [especially] thank God continually for this, that when you received the message of God [which you heard] from us, you welcomed it not as the word of [mere] men, but as it truly is,
the Word of God,
which is effectually at work in you who believe [exercising its superhuman power in those who adhere to and trust in and rely on it]. AMP
To whom or what was Paul referring when he mentioned the ‘WORD of God’?
There was no ‘book’ nor would there be for many years.
And if there was no ‘book’ how could believers judge what was attributed to Holy Spirit?
In actuallity, you/we have it reversed?
Notice what Paul observed: The listeners welcomed the Paul’s message as the ‘word of God’ without having the benefit of the ‘book’.
Jesus said HE would send us Holy Spirit and Holy Spirit would lead us into all truth.
No where will you find it recorded in the ‘book’ that Jesus said HE would send us a ‘book’.
Paul wrote that the scriptures (which we have to understand as what we now know as the ‘old testament’) are a ‘tutor’ to lead us to Christ.
I like to think of the ‘book’ as training wheels.
When we are walking in the SPIRIT then it like the freedom of riding a bicycle without the training wheels.
Paul also wrote not to neglect the public reading of ‘scriptures’ [old testament].
I have a hunch that Paul wanted to make room for members of the body of Christ to share both the scripture and the accompanying understanding/revelation that Holy Spirti had given them concening that passage as it related to their current circumstances.
Father/Jesus/Holy Spirit can speak through the ‘book’ but God is NOT limited to the ‘book’.
‘christianity’ has attempted to make the ‘book’ an equivalent with the three Persons of the trinity.
Do we know worship a quadranity?
Here is a challenge that I like to offer to people who believe the ‘book’ is equivalent to the WORD of GOD.
It says in the ‘book’ that the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two edged sword, able to divide bone from marrow.
Next time you are assembled to worship GOD, set any version(s) or translation(s) of the ‘book’ you choose in a prominent place and monitor it closely with a video recorder. If it ever moves or speaks of it’s own accord please post that video clip on youtube.
All God breathed scripture is profitable for teaching and instruction. I do not diminish it’s value. But it is no substitute for knowing God and being known by HIM.
When you met your spouse, did you get to know him/her by reading and re-reading letters she/he had writtent to you or a book someone else had written about him/her or did you get to know her/him by spending time with him/her?
Jesus said this is eternal life that you may know [have intimate first hand experience and knowlege] God and the Son whom he sent.
Put the ‘book’ down and spend as much or more time as you previously did reading in talking and listening and communing with the ‘one GOD in three persons’.
HE really is a rewarder of those who seek HIM.
There is one other item, which is difficult for we ‘spiritual humans’ to grasp.
We probably mis-understand more than we understand about GOD because we have made seeking HIM an intellectual pursuit of studying the ‘book’.
1 Cor 2:14-3:1
But the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them [of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated.
But the spiritual man tries all things [he examines, investigates, inquires into, questions, and discerns all things], yet is himself to be put on trial and judged by no one [he can read the meaning of everything, but no one can properly discern or appraise or get an insight into him].
For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart. [Isa 40:13.]
HOWEVER, BRETHREN, I could not talk to you as to spiritual [men], but as to nonspiritual [men of the flesh, in whom the carnal nature predominates], as to mere infants [in the new life] in Christ [unable to talk yet!]

Take note: Just because we have been ‘born again’ of the Spirit and/or water, does not mean we are automatically ‘spiritual’, but we have been given the authority, the right and the power to become sons of God who are led by the Spirit of God.
Question: “How did these unlearned men aquire such great wisdom?”
Answer: “As many as are led by the Spirit are sons of God.”
‘church’ will keep you captive in the nursery well beyond the time when you shoud have been mature enough to partake of ‘spiritual’ meat.
We have too many adult believers who are still ‘wet behind the ears’.
If you do not know what that means ask a woman who has or is nursing a baby.
