Comments on: Standing for Your Beliefs is NOT Intolerance {The Atlanta Journal Constitution} https://temporaldomainfwg.soaringwithhim.com/2019/02/standing-for-your-beliefs-is-not-intolerance-the-atlanta-journal-constitution/ Patricia Holbrook Tue, 05 Feb 2019 19:37:49 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 By: Walt https://temporaldomainfwg.soaringwithhim.com/2019/02/standing-for-your-beliefs-is-not-intolerance-the-atlanta-journal-constitution/#comment-33889 Tue, 05 Feb 2019 19:37:49 +0000 https://soaringwithhim.com/?p=4192#comment-33889 GREAT article Patricia; we don’t defend the Bible, we proclaim it as the only source of life; by it we distinguish good from evil with no gray areas for debate as good and evil are what God in His Word says each is. As Moses said of God’s Word(Deut.32:47), it is your life. Jesus confirms the validity of Moses assertion saying: the words that I speak to you are spirit and they are life. You so blessed me lifting up the Bible to a secular, unbelieving culture of newspaper readers. I believe there is cheering and rejoicing in heaven as God used your article to save many souls. To Him be the glory.

We just need to pray… and take a stand. And never forget that God is in control. Indeed, we have to pray for mercy.
Thanks for the encouragement, Martha!

My son Daniel is the one that asked me if I had read your good AJC article today. I loved it and this paragraph in particular; “When asked about my opinion on various moral subjects, my answer is always the same: I have a book which sets the standards I live by, which, since I am a Christian, is the Bible. I believe it in its entirety. I believe in its relevance. Not because someone told me I should, but because I have been studying it for 25 years and have tested and proven it to be a true source of hope, peace and guidance for my life. I stand by it, because it has become my compass. It absolutely does not mean I hate people whose life choices are different than mine; or wish ill on those who do not agree with me. It does not mean I do not want them near me or my family. It simply means that I will not compromise my beliefs, just as those who disagree with me will not compromise theirs”.
Way to go P, thanks for getting the voice of Christians in the AJC and encouraging us all! Good job!

Jesus’ commandments are forever – and they are my refuge and my rock for all time. I’m still reeling from the legislation passed in NY last week . . . May God have mercy on this nation!
