I'd like to hear what both Biden & Palin have to say about Obama's daddy being a Muslim & about Obama's membership in Rev. Jeremiah Wright's Chicago church.

Might also want to ask about that whole "Hussein" thing. What effect must it have on Obama's mind. :?

Do they (Biden & Palin) believe in showing their faith as a linchpin in the public square or do they believe that one's faith should be lived in the individual acts that happen from moment to moment?

This is the "keep-Christians-in-their-little-religious-closet" routine, popularized by its enemies; which liberals and dumbed-down evangelicals have largely bought into. Yes, religion does indeed consist in the moment to moment living out of spiritual truth; but it ALSO consists, from a biblical perspective, in the active efforts of the Church to both evangelized the nation sof the earth and institute biblical Law and Gospel in all areas of public life.

Unfortuantely, most contemporary Christianity is not worthy of the latter - and hardly the former agenda either. The real task of the Church today is to instill in young people the comprehensiveness of the biblical mandate to participate in Messianic truth: "the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ." Rev.

In principle, and in God's eternal overview it has already happened. It is just a matter of time before "every knee shall bow . . . and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord."

This will entail more than just the pablum fluff that clogs the airwaves today, or the religionism regnant in most churches. It will require a total revisiting of the biblical material, with an open mind to seeing its true scope and intent: the blessing of all peoples in every sphere of life; i.e. the establishment of the Kingdom of God, and the recognition of Yeshua the Messiah as the Lord of history.

As Yeshua said: all other systems and ways are mere sinking sand. He alone is the truth Rock upon which a truly just and peaceful world can be built!

does she think Jesus would agree with her policy of charging rape victims for their forensic test kits?
