Are you a joke or what? Obama is one of the best US presidents ever. We saw republicans and their shit what happened in earth.
obama has not been a good president. He did not have enough experience to be in the position of president and was basically at the right place at the right time He got Bin Laden...that's sets his floor pretty damn high. Except nobody knows for sure that he got Bin Laden. It's all media hearsay. However, if Bin Laden was "gotten" during his administration, why? Bin Laden didn't do anything against us. Even the FBI thought that Bin Laden didn't have anything to do with 9/11. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I am not for gun control. but owning a gun requires discipline and if you do not have this, you do not own the right to have a gun
No. You have the right to own a gun. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Guns should exist, people should have a right to have them for hunting or protection.
The community should have the right to qualify people to own guns through a background check along with a standard test of laws and gun safety. If we regulate who can drive a car we should absolutely regulate who can operate a gun. When crazy people stop getting their hands on guns we can revisit the requirement for regulation.
That's my opinion.
Good points. The community DOES have a lot of say in everything. Properly brought, the local community can get issues before a 12-person jury that can make local changes. Most communities don't know this. The community doesn't regulate car driving. The State does. And, judging by the way that there is a single style in the DMV websites for all the states, perhaps the Federal really does the regulating, behind the scenes. The same problem exists with all this as with every other method of gun control. The 99% of the good people will knuckle under to the community rules. The crazy people may be too crazy to figure out how to break community rules. But the crooks and criminals and downright bad people will have as many guns as they want, under the floorboards in their house... no matter what the community rules are. The only real benefits to gun controls like these are: 1) the training that the public will receive regarding gun usage and safety; 2) a feeling of security among a lot of cowardly community members, even though that security is a false security. The security is here now without the gun controls. It's just that the wimps don't know it. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Same problem. You can't seem to express yourself adequately to be understood. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Are you taking the piss or you really don't like my English? Liking your English doesn't have anything to do with it. Understanding your English is the problem. It's kinda like talking about the piss. What in the world does that mean? Are you Russian now? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Not sure what you mean. If you mean that you do not accept the salvation worked for all of us by Jesus, then you will not be saved... unless you turn and accept Jesus salvation. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Is that Common sense really so in danger that you need to protect it with faith? Thank You. Best regards. I don't understand what you mean. Are you a child? Or are you using a bad translator? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Nasa uses water to hide the big discovery? i consider water a pretty big discovery. NASA announcing water on mars is huge, it means there is life possible there because if theres water theres likely oxygen there too
The greater discovery of electric arc and plasma creating the features on the surface of Mars, is something that shows that Mars was sterilized in the past. Indeed, if there is life there after such a great sterilization, it would be sensational, even though it (the life) would have probably come from NASA probes and vehicles that landed there. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) BAD, why don't you stick to one conspiracy theory and do a good job of it? You are all over the place. How about Cosmic Electric Arcs hit the Twin Towers and Melted Iron on 911? And the vanished people in the four mysteriously missing jets? They are on Mars. See? It's easy. Gee, Spendy. I knew you were a little nuts. But you don't have to overdo it like this. Now, relax. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

And I am not stating that you will not be saved because you follow the Pope.

No, and you don't either. Why not? Because we both know about God, and have seen the promises where He says that He will raise us. Or haven't you been reading the bible enough for that? So, it isn't entirely blind faith. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) You have faith that is important, that can be strong or weak but you have it: that's all that it matters. Thank You. Best regards. And I am not stating that you will not be saved because you follow the Pope.

There's a famous quote about playing chess with a pigeon that comes to mind here. At a distance you can see both ends of a straight and level tunnel through a mountain. Up close at one end you can't see the other end. After a long journey through the tunnel you begin to see a light at the other end. Looking down the tunnel at the spark of light it appears to be approximately 6'9" off the ground. You can make out a figure standing in the light, just an outline. You're not going to tell me that the tunnel is fucking curved to explain why the guy at the other end appears 6'9" off the ground are you? Because I'll tell you right now the tunnel is flat and level and the observer standing at a distance can prove it with a photograph of the mountain. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FwKjnqOA.jpg&t=663&c=GxhTkjf_ouPsBA) Naw. It's an optical illusion. Try squinting, sometime. If you squint just right, it throws your vision off. Or if you are blindish, it can give you better sight. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

... and in the Revelation it says that God will destroy those who destroy the earth. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Did you really read that all? I know I was a bit verbose. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I skimmed it. I was going to place that response after the post following, the one with the soap suds, but this one looked better. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) EDIT: The major problem with Lutherans is that when they speak law to their people, they neglect detailed gospel. And when they speak gospel, they neglect detailed law.

What makes you think that Jesus came in blind faith? Actually, it is just the opposite. Jesus knew exactly what would happen if He did or didn't do His work of salvation on the cross. You can see this from all the things that He taught His disciples, so that they were amazed at His understanding. His trust that His Father would raise Him from the dead was part of His faith. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) If you think you will be raised from death you have blind faith. Thank You. No, and you don't either. Why not? Because we both know about God, and have seen the promises where He says that He will raise us. Or haven't you been reading the bible enough for that? So, it isn't entirely blind faith. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Thank you. It is very common sensical to examine the facts, and then to base faith on the facts. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Jesus Christ came in blind faith why shouldn't we?

Pope Francis came "in his own name" and not in his Father's name when he went to the UN recently. The video shows his translator saying he comes in his own name. Pope Comes to United Nations "In His Own Name" : John 5:43 John 5:43 "I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him. 44"How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and you do not seek the glory that is from the one and only God?Man: the Pope is a MAN (or a woman in the case of Elisabeth II), he/she is not Jesus Christ. He/she's the vicar of Jesus Christ not Jesus Christ himself. Forgive their sins as you will forgive to men/women. Best regards. The Pope could have come in Jesus' name. But he came in his own name just like Jesus prophesied. And you receive him (the Pope)... just like Jesus said you would... because you are not seeking the glory that comes from the only God. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

In 1517 Martin Luther put up the 95 Theses. "...But in 1517 Luther penned a document attacking the Catholic Church’s corrupt practice of selling “indulgences” to absolve sin. His “95 Theses,” which propounded two central beliefs—that the Bible is the central religious authority and that humans may reach salvation only by their faith and not by their deeds—was to spark the Protestant Reformation. Although these ideas had been advanced before, Martin Luther codified them at a moment in history ripe for religious reformation. The Catholic Church was ever after divided, and the Protestantism that soon emerged was shaped by Luther’s ideas. His writings changed the course of religious and cultural history in the West...." Lutherans have a big problem with the papacy selling indulgences and claiming you can be saved by things other than the grace of the Lord, through Jesus Christ dying on the cross. Believing that the papacy is the anti-christ can put a damper on relations with Catholics, so they have decided to ignore Martin Luther, their namesake, and have decided to join the Catholics in a sort of combination religion. (pushing for the one-world religion) Now there are some Lutherans out there that still believe the papacy to be the anti-christ spirit, but as I say the Catholic Church is not Christian (but some Catholics are), the Lutheran Church will have a few people who still believe the papacy is the anti-christ spirit in some way. The Lutherans have this booklet called " From Conflict to Communion | Lutheran–Catholic Common Commemoration of the Reformation in 2017." It's 100 pages long, but I watched a video discussing it. Here is what the website says it is about: "The Lutheran–Roman Catholic Commission on Unity invites all Christians to study its report open-mindedly and critically, and to walk along the path towards the full, visible unity of the Church.
In 2017, Catholics and Lutherans will jointly look back on the event of the Reformation and reflect on 50 years of official worldwide ecumenical dialogue during which time the communion they share anew has continued to grow.
This encourages Lutherans and Catholics to celebrate together the common witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Yet, amidst this celebration, they will also have reason to experience the suffering caused by the division of the Church, and to look self-critically at themselves, not only throughout history, but also through today’s realities."From what I've seen in the book, the Lutherans make major concessions. "The year 2017 will see the first centennial commemoration of the Reformation to take place during the ecumenical age. It will also mark fifty years of Lutheran-Roman Catholic dialogue. As part of the ecumenical movement, praying together, worshipping together, and serving their communities together have enriched Catholics and Lutherans."page 79 "Although the documents Church and Justification and Apostolicity of the Church made significant contributions to a number of unresolved issues between Catholics and Lutherans, further ecumenical conversation is still needed on: the relation between the visibility and invisibility of the church, the relation between the universal and local church, the church as sacrament, the necessity of sacramental ordination in the life of the church, and the sacramental character of episcopal consecration. Future discussion must take into account the significant work already done in these and other important documents. This task is so urgent since Catholics and Lutherans have never ceased to confess together the faith in the »one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church.«"page 82"As the commemoration in 2017 brings joy and gratitude to expression, so must it also allow room for both Lutherans and Catholics to experience the pain over failures and trespasses, guilt and sin in the persons and events that are being remembered. 229. On this occasion, Lutherans will also remember the vicious and degrading statements that Martin Luther made against the Jews. They are ashamed of them and deeply deplore them. Lutherans have come to recognize with a deep sense of regret the persecution of Anabaptists by Lutheran authorities and the fact that Martin Luther and Philip Melanchthon theologically supported this persecution. They deplore Luther’s violent attacks against the peasants during the Peasants’ War. The awareness of the dark sides of Luther and the Reformation has prompted a critical and self-critical attitude of Lutheran theologians towards Luther and the Wittenberg Reformation. Even though they agree in part with Luther’s criticism of the papacy, nevertheless Lutherans today reject Luther’s identification of the pope with the Antichrist."It goes on about how Lutherans apologize... not so much for the Catholics. And the Lutherans are now admitting they don't identify the papacy as the anti-christ. Was that a compromise or just giving in? Well they're going to get together in 2017 for a show of coming together, for the 500th anniversary of the day Luther put up his Theses. Besides the papacy working on the Sunday law with this push ( National Back to Church Sunday), they are pushing for unity of all Christian denominations. ... and in the Revelation it says that God will destroy those who destroy the earth. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

BitNow is acting on almost blind faith. God doesn't require this of us. He has given us the Bible so that we can see that there is substance and foundation for the faith that we DO have. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Common sense. Thank you. It is very common sensical to examine the facts, and then to base faith on the facts. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
