I just realized the scriptural background for this user name:

But you are a shoesn people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

Yes, news is subjective, but some news sources let their bias drive the coverage, and others focus mostly on the facts (though bias always creeps in with human beings). We can easily find agreement here. The challenge is those who listen to various news sources have a bias, yes us. So we will rejec...

I think it's foolish to fake on an identity which consists of nothing other than choosing to engage in sin. In the thread, I talked about a gay celibate Christian. That's how he identified himself in the article I read. By this, he meant that he is attracted to men rather than women. Would you pref...
