Many scientists believe the dinosaurs disappeared quickly, as in a cataclysmic event. In Luke 10:18, Jesus said he watched Satan fall from heaven like a flash of lightning. This may have been the catastrophe that killed the dinosaurs.
JOPLIN, Mo. — Regarding Anson Burlingame’s guest column (Globe, July 8), as a Christian, I agree with his premise of “live and let live, do no harm to others.”
We Christians also believe there is no “freedom from religion” clause in the Constitution. For the past several years this seems to be the aim of some politicians in our country, i.e. the teaching of homosexuality to some young children in our public schools as acceptable “alternate lifestyle,” excessive gun control, excessive taxation of guns and ammunition, forbidding Christian members of our armed forces from sharing their faith with others, and forbidding the chaplains to mention God and prayer. The list goes on and on.
Yes, Christians know we are in the minority ... always have been and always will be.
See Matthew 7:13-14.
I have always wondered about the origin of certain words because I believe words should be descriptive and important.
This article uses the word "gay" several times. I have noticed that boys who prefer boys over girls and girls who prefer girls over boys have been successful in getting the public to accept this word into the everyday language of our country.
These people avoid the use of the word "homosexual" as if it were the plague but, to my knowledge, have not found an acceptable replacement for the word "lesbian" in the American vocabulary.
They have also been successful in replacing the word "hetrosexual" with the word "straight".
I raise the questions because the author of this article is concerned with the words "equal" and "rights" and how they appy or do not apply to those of her sexual persuasion.
Does the U S Constitution define marriage or give the "right" to marry to a certain group of humans? I can't find such a "right" and Does the U S Constitution declare all persons "equal" in all matters? I can't find such equality.
It is important to consider the origin of words and why they are used to replace other words and who or what group started using these 'words' to convey a different meaning. I am David Turner.
There was an article in The Joplin Globe this past month regarding a female artist who enjoyed tennis so much that she inserted tennis balls in a fanciful manner into her own paintings of classical art.
I would strongly urge her, and anyone else, not to insert anything to destroy or distort the integrity of any Christian religious painting.
To me, this is sacrilegious, irreverent and makes a mockery of God our creator, sustainer and redeemer.
HOMOOOOoooooooo sexuality is just a childish fad. It will soon pass. (Throw a shoe at those dogs, 'Hey, that's another male dog, get off of him ya idiot' stupid dog.)
