We should thank God that our nation (i.e. governing body)was not given the power to dictate what the official religion would be for America. Read history of what England of old did to “non-believers” including those who did not follow the Church of England’s rules. We know very well what happens to people in muslim nations who do not believe as their government dictates. THAT is the “freedom of/from religion” sought out by the settlers to the “new world”. They left the persecution behind so they would be able to or not, worship as chose. We are given by our constitution the right to our own beliefs rather than be under a government dictated way of life. NO prejudice against whatever flavor you pick.

Are these 2 women supposed to be Christians?
Why are they showing so much cleavage??
Where’s the modesty God commands women to have?

Mike Zellhart

“Judge not, lest ye be judged.”

How dare you question the beliefs of any of these women. They are doing the Lord’s work! Where is your ministry? I would suggest you worry about what you’re looking at, and listen to what they are saying instead. If you are a Marine, I thank you dearly for your service, but that does not excuse your remarks.

MATTHEW 7:1-2 – “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.”
First, if we examine the context we see that Jesus is not condemning all judging; He is condemning hypocritical judging (Mat. 7:5). Hypocrisy is a great and deep-seated problem among men and Christ is rebuking it. To forbid something in another person that I allow in my own life is hypocrisy.

This is not to say, though, that Christ is forbidding judging in general. That He is not condemning all judging is evident from the context. In the same sermon He warned about false teachers and false brethren.
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit” (Mat. 7:15-17).

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” (Mat. 7:21-23).
It is impossible to beware of false prophets and false brethren without judging doctrine and practice by the God’s Word.

That Christ is not condemning all judging is also evident by comparing Scripture with Scripture. In other passages we are commanded to judge. We are to judge righteous judgment (Jn. 7:24).
We are to judge sin in the church (1 Cor. 5:3, 12). “For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, … For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?”

God gave those women breast, some idiot suggested in a book that they cover them up.

Was America founded as a christian nation is a stupid question.

America was founded as a nation of free citizens who, as a result, had the freedom to worship as they wished or didn’t wish.

The idea of forcing folks to be Christians is as anti freedom as communism is.
