Romans 10.17

Paul said, Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God and what I have been presenting to you comes from the Word of God.

But Paul most likely wrote that while he was a "guest of the state" in Rome. Which means nobody actually was there to "hear" him. Indeed, most of Paul's contributions to the New Testament were letters that he wrote while either in prison, or on the run. So the definition of what it means to "hear" is considerably different in the context in which Paul wrote it than what you might think of in a 21st century church setting.

So if you "hear" the voice of God from listening to Scriptures in church - or even by reading them to yourself, then that's cool.

But what if you "hear" the voice of God in a setting that He created? Is that any less valid ? I say it's even more so, because it's unfiltered by man.

Proverbs 3:5

Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own understanding.

If there are two more volitile subjects than religion and politics, I know them not.

Reading that entire chapter in context, the point of it is that true wisdom and understanding are gifts that come from God.

Actually, the ending of the chapter seems oddly appropriate in these times.....

29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
30 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
31 Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
32 For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.
33 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
34 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
35 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.



Wonder if Junior's ever read that?

I imagine he has...

[FORD]

Then he obviously wasn't "hearing" it.

John Kerry is the biggest hypocrite in the history in politics on every issue which is why he will lose by 4 or 5 points against George W. Bush in the presidential election in November.

It's all up to the electoral tally.

results may vary

If Kerry continues on his present course, campaign-wise, he'll be the next Mike Dukakis.

Even with the freindly media coverage, he's done nothing but make an ass of himself so far. Gephardt would have been a smarter choice, I think.

[ELVIS]

He already is the next Mike Dukakis...

[FORD]

Gephardt fell on his sword in Iowa like a good DLC puppet. He would have never had a chance anyway.

And just imagine... That's even with the 15 point advantage the press' favorable coverage is giving him (self-admitted by the press).

What a limp-dick candidate you dems have chosen. Should've gone with Dean. I don't think he'd win, but the campaign would've been one hell of alot more interesting.
