Jonathan Hoag F911
How would you feel if it were Al Gore's cousin calling the election for Al Gore after talking to him five times on election eve?
I don't care, if what you say it true, scream it from the hill tops and then look at the 99% of everything else that discredits F911. Talk about short sightedness. Moore edited an interview with a Congressman where Moore asked if the Congressman would send his kids to Iraq, the Congressman turns as if beffudled and the scene ends. What Moore didn't show you is the Congressman's reponse in that he had nieces and nephews getting ready to ship out. Or the creative editing of interviews of soldiers, etc etc....same thing he did with Bowling for Columbine, altered the apparent timeline to make it look like the NRA conference happened in conjuction with the funeral or something to that effect....dig a little deeper...Moore is an entertainer not a documentarian...

Jonathan, don't you know God wanted Dumbya to be president so he could do all these marveleous christian things, like kill half a million Iraqi civilians, drive 2 million Iraqis from there home (if they're still standing, which is a long shot), and make Helliburton and the gang filthy richer than they already were? Isn't that pure Christianity, Murkan style? Get with the program, Jonathan. Jim has a direct line to the Almighty. It's just like a fax machine, only it's a suppostiory.
Tom are not the Iraqi people deserving of your Christian love? Why then would you leave them to suffer under Saddam.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, 34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. 36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? 37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
Do you not love them tom?
12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Why would you forsake them tom?

RE: Lot is supposed to be a good man?
Lot offers his two virgin daughters to the crowd to be gang raped and slaughtered if only the crowd will leave him and his guests alone.
That isn't a good man, that is a psychopathic monster.
Apparently, you need to study more about the customs of the day. Guest’s safety and comfort in one’s home was paramount. Look it up. Furthermore, Lot knew their desires and the fact that the crowd turned down his daughters for the men highlights their depravity and then the angels blinded the men.
Also, in 2 Peter 2, God calls Lot a righteous man who was vexed with the wickedness around him. Read below, also not all the bolding, speaks volumes to many of the questions raised about sin and the consequences and those who succor wickedness(those who justify sin).
2 Peter 2
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. 4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; 13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; 14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: 15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet. 17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
Pretty clear….and the following from you….
Leviticus 11:
…you need to study the Old Testament to understand the differences in Old Testament laws…go here for a start…http://www.gotquestions.org/Christian-law.html10And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
11They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
12Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
Have you ever eaten at Red Lobster?
As you can see, Peter says that he should not call *any* man unclean.
Since homosexuals are men, then it stands to reason that they are not unclean.
That is dangerous thinking, Brother. The clean and unclean was a parallel to the circumcised and the uncircumcised, the Jew and the Gentile, this passage is referring to Peter’s realization of the vision he had, that the barrier between the Jew and the Gentile had been removed and the Gospel can now be preached to them. Study it my friend…
