Is it moral to Kill in self-defense?
Or to rephrase the question, "Is it moral to preserve one's life (Kill) in self-defense?"
Following Tomas Aquinas' logic:
1. Natural law dictates that it is normal to preserve one’s life.
2. Since it is a principle of natural law, it is therefore moral to preserve one's life.
3. Since it is moral to preserve one’s life, it is therefore lawful to defend one’s life.
4. Therefore, self-defense is a moral act and lawful act.

Human State at birth?
What exactly is the human state at birth? Lots of terms are used to describe it:
Sin nature, total depravity, innocence with a tendancy to sin...
My primary question is for those who seem to disagree with some aspect of the idea of sin nature:
"If we are not born with a sin nature inherited from Adam due to his original sin in the garden, Why is it that ALL humans sin?" -

Support for the Right for Adam and Steve to Wed Grow in California...
According to a recent poll, Californians are now in favor of same %ex-marriage. marriage. Of course, whoever takes these polls never asked me my opinion, but I still had to respect the pollsters, and as you will see in the attached article, given time, public sentiment changes all, even our moral and values as a society.

One more nail in the coffin? You tell me? It seems like where there was smoke, there now looks to be fire, and the Purpose Driven supporters may not be able to put out the flames too much longer...

I Am Wondering, Did Jesus Troll?
(Hint: Read Luke 4:19-30 KJV, where Jesus purposefully trolled and incited His own hometown fellow Jews within their Saturday Morning Synagogue Service, such that they first praised Him, then tried to literally kill Him.)
(Another Hint: Read Matthew Ch. 23 KJV where Jesus trolled The Pharisees as a group by calling them "liars," "whitewashed tombs," "blind guides," and "hypocrites." Nobody asked Him to do this.)
(Another Hint: Read Matthew 12:40-41 KJV where Jesus says the Gentile... -
Isn't it our Christian duty to support the Second Amendment?
Guns equals freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from persecution. If we can travel back more than two hundred years ago and ask our Founding Fathers, they would probably say that it is a Christian duty to do so.
What do you think? :thumbsup: -
Election
Ephesians 1
4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
This has just jumped out at me!
Is there any way we can say that we haven't been elected, predestined, and adopted by God according to His will and... -

A Common Mistake In Christian Marriages.
It is a notion often promoted within Christian groups, in marriage advice venues, and from behind the pulpit on Mothers' Day that one of the roles of a Christian wife is to serve her husband as an ethical and moral reference point during selected times when the husband might be "Just a little off of center" in his thinking and decision making as a Spiritual leader of the family and in The Church.
In fact, it is even common for Pastors to laud their wife's ability to "see certain things"...
