I think you are really getting your wires crossed here. Please go back and gather the context of the passage above before trying to make it apply to others. And, if you are trying to say Gail is anti-Christ, please do explain ! I have read many of Gails comments and she is not at all against Christ - matter of fact, she is for Christ. What you most likey mean is that you hold to a certain understanding of scripture and you conclude that you are 100% right with your views and anyone who disagrees is "anti-Christ". Again, please do explain! On July 23, 2008 at 10:29 am T.D. Said:

As adults we are still the same way for example, we are happy with the car we have until we see someone with a car that has something our car doesn't then all of a sudden we've got to have the other car. We still have the same sinful nature we were born with. Which there is nothing wrong with having nice things, but sometimes because we are human we can be selfish and greedy when it comes to certain things. Sometimes it is a battle we have to struggle from within ourselves with, whatever it may be with in one way or another, and Jesus is the only One who can save us from these sins.

Please stop belittling other Christians. And start being honest. By honest, I mean admitting that you are doing the best you can by intrepreting the Word as best you can just as all sincere Christians do. And stop being dishonest about your history. You can't have the truth without being honest. I have a plea for my heritage. Please stop belittling other Christians. And start being honest.

I am pretty sure, like most public schools in the country; they are not required to attend courses that teach specific Christian scriptures as truth. If they are, it is against the law. "If a child is taught this at an early age along with all the other hypocritical garbage being espoused in the so called “Christian arena” such as “once saved always saved” “unconditional election” etc. Then why are we so shocked when something like the V.T. or columbine shootings take place." - Really? You really think heartless killings in High schools should be blamed on scriptural interpretation issues? That is outlandish. Maybe kids starting murdering because they belonged to churches that banned IM, forced them to have weekly communion, or pressured them to be baptized as teenagers....... Of course not. This is an outlandish statement that I hope you will contract. Using your disagreements with other denominations in this light is pretty low. I can see it now. Kids that are lost, sitting around on drugs, have parents that are abusive or not involved, and have no belief in God......The thing that sends them over the edge? Too many church services teaching unconditional election?? Um, probably not. “I have it from a very good source that The Danville Public Schools are teaching your children that they were born sinners and that they inherited Adams sin.”
