Spurgeon points out that, like Judaism, Christianity has no tolerance or respect for other gods or religions. "The gods of the heathens may approach us with their mock charity, and tell us that every man may follow out his own conscientious conviction and be saved. We reply—No such thing: there is no salvation in any other; "for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."" http://teampyro.blogspot.com/2008/11/intolerance-of-true-religion.html

"If I want my own way rather than God's, it is quite obvious that I shall want my own way rather than the other man's. A man does not assert his independence of God to surrender it to a fellow man, if he can help it. " http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DGBlog/~3/461870178/

Al Mohler recalls the heretical call by Emerson at Divinity Hall 170 years ago - a call to abandon preaching from the Bible, and preaching Christ, and to preach individualism sentimentalism instead. "Preaching," he explained, is nothing more than "the expression of the moral sentiment in application to the duties of life." [Emerson's call is just like that of the emergents today:] 'Christianity must change or it will die. The Bible is old, antiquated, a dead and lifeless book, and we can't limit his speaking to it, and we must abandon doctrinal teaching. The Bible is ineffectual and offensive.' http://www.albertmohler.com/blog_read.php?id=2791

Phillips says the greatest gift he could give his children is a clear witness to the Gospel. The second greatest is their mother. "But especially, word to would-be husbands. Remember, boys: you aren't merely choosing fun company or sexual release. You're choosing a person created in the image of God, whom you are to serve, lead and cherish; a partner to fill and round you out in your service to God — and a mother for your children." [Says something about day-care, too]. http://bibchr.blogspot.com/2008/11/one-of-very-best-gifts-i-ever-gave-my.html

Apparently people are upset that Palin was interviewed in front of a Turkey farm while turkeys were being killed. This is yet another indication of the cultural insanity - where people would have trust funds for pets. Animals are given to us for food. [I'll add that I'm sure that among those objecting are those who have no problem eating a turkey dinner]. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BaylyblogOutOfOurMindsToo/~3/461460012/gobble-gobble-gobble.html
