How Do You Apply Scripture to Governing?
My question for both of them would be: "How does your faith influence, even mandate, your positions? Senator Biden, do you believe it is mainly up to government to follow the principles in Matthew 25 to ":do unto the least of these," or is that primarily a command for the church? And Governor Palin, how do the "end times" described in the books of Daniel and Revelation, among others, influence your view of the Middle East, of Russia and your own worldview and which policy matters might be influenced by your conservative Christian beliefs?

Sarah Palin is of this faith
Remember, the roman faith has twelve stations of the cross, The roman cross and the greek cross, and the so-called jewish cross. In Roman mythology Saturn was the god of agriculture founder of civilisations and of social order and conformity. The glyph is most often seen as scythe-like but it is primarily known as the "CRESCENT BELOW THE CROSS", whereas Jupiter's glyph is the "CRESCENT ABOVE THE CROSS". THESE TWELVE JESUS SENT FORTH. Like the twelve jesus’s, like twelve signs of the zodiac. Sarah Palin is of this faith, even though she may deny it. She is a warmonger, THE GOD OF WAR, MARS, she believes IN THEIR GODDESS OF LOVE, VENUS. She belives in conception is life, WOLF-AND-SHEPHERD-GOD LUPERCUS WHO BROUGHT FERTILITY. She belives in the light of the world, PHOSPHOROS AS LUCIFER ("LIGHT BEARER"). She belives in THE MOON DIANA, the light who dwells in darkness. As well as the cross, Oak groves were especially sacred to her. She believes in the trinity, DIANA MADE UP A TRINITY WITH TWO OTHER ROMAN DEITIES, EGERIA THE WATER NYMPH, AND VIRBIUS THE WOODLAND GOD
She believes in WORTHY IS THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN TO RECEIVE POWER AND RICHES, PLUTO WAS THE ROMAN GOD OF THE UNDERWORLD
THESE METALS, JEWELS AND OTHER RICHES LIE UNDER THE EARTH. and THE FOUR AND TWENTY ELDERS FELL DOWN AND WORSHIPPED HIM, “THE BROTHER OF GOLIATH THE GITTITE”. She believes in 'GOD OF OUR FATHER', DAGAN. And she believes in eternal life, THE EGYPTIAN GOD PTAH IS GIVEN THE TITLE DŪ GITTI 'LORD OF GATH', PTAH IS OFTEN CALLED THE LORD (OR ONE) OF ETERNITY
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
And God said, Let the waters under the Heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - NASA extended the mission of the busy Phoenix lander on Monday, saying it will operate until it dies in the cold, dark Martian winter.
The lander found evidence that the chemical makeup of the dust on the surface of Mars resembles that of sea water, adding to evidence that liquid water that once may have supported life flowed on the planet's surface.
And, said JPL's Michael Hecht, further analysis shows the Martian dust is about as alkaline as seawater, with a pH of 8.3, more evidence that life could have existed on Mars.

MARTIAN DUST IS ABOUT AS ALKALINE AS SEAWATER
These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
THESE TWELVE JESUS SENT FORTH
I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.
So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

To ancient astrologers the planets represented the will of the gods and their direct influence upon human affairs. To modern astrologers the planets represent basic drives or impulses in the human psyche. These drives express themselves a) with different qualities through the twelve signs of the zodiac, and b) in different spheres of life through the twelve houses. How the planets manifest themselves also depends on the aspects (or angles) that they form with each other in the sky as seen from Earth.

Romulus (c. 771 BC–c. 717 BC) and Remus (c. 771 BC–c. 753 BC) are the traditional founders of Rome, appearing in Roman mythology as the twin sons of the priestess Rhea Silvia, fathered by the god of war, Mars. According to the tradition recorded as history by Plutarch and Livy, Romulus served as the first King of Rome.

The evening star they called Hesperos (Latinized Hesperus) (Ἓσπερος, the "star of the evening"), but by Hellenistic times, they realized the two were the same planet. Hesperos would be translated into Latin as Vesper and Phosphoros as Lucifer ("Light Bearer"), a poetic term later used to refer to the fallen angel cast out of heaven. The Romans would later name the planet in honor of their goddess of love, Venus, whereas the Greeks used the name of her Greek counterpart, Aphrodite

Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, honour, and glory, and blessing.

And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew THE BROTHER OF GOLIATH THE GITTITE, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had ON EVERY HAND SIX FINGERS, and ON EVERY FOOT SIX TOES, FOUR AND TWENTY in number; and HE ALSO WAS BORN TO THE GIANT.
And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea the brother of David slew him.

The Egyptian god Ptah is given the title dū gitti 'Lord of Gath' in a prism from Lachish which has on its opposite face the name of Amenhotep II (c. 1435–1420 BCE) The title dū gitti is also found in Serābitṭ text 353. Cross (1973, p. 19) points out that Ptah is often called the lord (or one) of eternity and thinks it may be this identification of Ēl with Ptah that lead to the epithet ’olam 'eternal' being applied to Ēl so early and so consistently.

In Roman mythology, Diana was the goddess of the hunt, being associated with wild animals and woodland, and also of the moon.
Along with her main attributes, Diana was an emblem of chastity. Oak groves were especially sacred to her. According to mythology, Diana was born with her twin brother Apollo on the island of Delos, daughter of Jupiter and Latona. Diana made up a trinity with two other Roman deities: Egeria the water nymph, her servant and assistant midwife; and Virbius, the woodland god.

Pluto was the Roman god of the underworld, known in Latin as Tertius, the counterpart of the Greek Hades. He was originally the Roman god of certain metals and, because these materials are mined, he also took on the role of god of the underworld. The Greek word for wealth is Πλοῦτος (Plοutos) and it is believed that the Romans derived Pluto from the Greek because these metals, jewels and other riches lie under the Earth.
PLUTO WAS THE ROMAN GOD OF THE UNDERWORLD

Amorite inscriptions from Zinčirli refer to numerous gods, sometimes by name, sometimes by title, especially by such titles as ilabrat 'god of the people'(?), il abīka 'god of your father', il abīni 'god of our father' and so forth. Various family gods are recorded, divine names listed as belong to a particular family or clan, sometimes by title and sometimes by name, including the name Il 'god'. In Amorite personal names the most common divine elements are Il ('God'), Hadad/Adad, and Dagan. It is likely that Il is also very often the god called in Akkadian texts Amurru or Il Amurru.

The word El was found at the top of a list of gods as the Ancient of Gods or the Father of all Gods, in the ruins of the Royal Library of the Ebla civilization, in the archaeological site of Tell Mardikh in Syria dated to 2300 BC. He may have been a desert god at some point, as the myths say that he had two wives and built a sanctuary with them and his new children in the desert. El had fathered many gods, but most important were Hadad, Yam and Mot, each of whom has similar attributes to the Greek gods Zeus, Poseidon or Ophion and Hades or Thanatos respectively. Ancient Greek mythographers identified El with Cronus

A bilingual inscription from Palmyra (KAI. 11, p. 43) dated to the first century equates Ēl-Creator-of-the-Earth with the Greek god Poseidon. Going back to the eighth century BCE the bilingual inscription at Karatepe in the Taurus Mountains equates Ēl-Creator-of-the-Earth to Luwian hieroglyphs read as da-a-ś, this being the Luwian form of the name of the Babylonian water god Ea, lord of the abyss of water under the earth.

"These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

DCWA,
Thank you for your reply. I do understand how you interpret scriptures and respect your right to believe that way.
I do think, however, you and your "orthodox Christians" (possibly with the exception of Mike Huckabee who outright says he would change the Constitution to "God's Standards) are still dodging Cal's basic question, "How do you apply scripture to governing?"
Do you and yours respect my Constitutional right to disagree with you (whether you think your punitive God will get me or not)?

I find it amazing that lepers, sinners, and the soldiers under the centurion have such great faith in Jesus and his miracles. Remember Jesus is in the House of Lepers; there is where the ten met him along with Simon.
“CAPERNAUM, WHICH IS UPON THE SEA COAST”
“by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;”
“The people which sat in darkness saw great light”
”TO THEM WHICH SAT IN THE REGION AND SHADOW OF DEATH LIGHT IS SPRUNG UP.”
“JESUS WAS IN BETHANY, IN THE HOUSE OF SIMON THE LEPER”
“he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.”
“he entered into a certain village”
“THERE MET HIM TEN MEN THAT WERE LEPERS”
“And when Jesus beheld him”
“he said, THOU ART SIMON THE SON OF JONA”
”THOU SHALT BE CALLED CEPHAS”
“WHICH IS BY INTERPRETATION, A STONE”
“But there was a certain man, called Simon”
”which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria”
”giving out that himself was some great one:”
“This man is the great power of God.”
“because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.”
“BEHOLD, THERE CAME A LEPER AND WORSHIPPED HIM, SAYING”
“Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.”
“And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying”
”be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.”
“JESUS WAS ENTERED INTO CAPERNAUM”
”THERE CAME UNTO HIM A CENTURION, BESEECHING HIM,”
“Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.”
“The centurion answered and said, Lord”
”I AM NOT WORTHY THAT THOU SHOULDEST COME UNDER MY ROOF”
”FOR I AM A MAN UNDER AUTHORITY, HAVING SOLDIERS UNDER ME”
”When Jesus heard it, he marveled”
”AND SAID TO THEM THAT FOLLOWED”
“I HAVE NOT FOUND SO GREAT FAITH, NO, NOT IN ISRAEL”
“there were set there SIX WATERPOTS OF STONE”
”after the manner of the purifying of the Jews”
“Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast”
” When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine”
“Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine”
“WHEN MEN HAVE WELL DRUNK, THEN THAT WHICH IS WORSE”
”THIS BEGINNING OF MIRACLES DID JESUS IN CANA OF GALILEE”
“AND HIS DISCIPLES BELIEVED ON HIM”
“HE WENT DOWN TO CAPERNAUM, HE, AND HIS MOTHER, AND HIS BRETHREN, AND HIS DISCIPLES”
“AND THOU, CAPERNAUM, WHICH ART EXALTED UNTO HEAVEN”
”SHALT BE BROUGHT DOWN TO HELL”
”for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee”
”had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.”
“THESE SIX THINGS DOTH THE LORD HATE”
“SEVEN ARE AN ABOMINATION UNTO HIM”
“AND THESE SHALL STAND UPON MOUNT EBAL TO CURSE”
“REUBEN, GAD, AND ASHER, AND ZEBULUN, DAN, AND NAPHTALI.”
“there were set there SIX STONES”
“he said, THOU ART SIMON THE SON OF JONA”
”THOU SHALT BE CALLED CEPHAS”
“WHICH IS BY INTERPRETATION, A STONE”
“AND HAST REVEALED THEM UNTO BABES.”
“A TEACHER OF BABES, WHICH HAST THE FORM OF KNOWLEDGE AND OF THE TRUTH IN THE LAW.”
“My son, keep thy father's commandment,”
“and forsake not the law of thy mother”
“Bind them continually upon thine heart”
“and tie them about thy neck”
Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
“CAPERNAUM, WHICH IS UPON THE SEA COAST”
“by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;”
“The people which sat in darkness saw great light”
”TO THEM WHICH SAT IN THE REGION AND SHADOW OF DEATH LIGHT IS SPRUNG UP.”
When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
“JESUS WAS IN BETHANY, IN THE HOUSE OF SIMON THE LEPER”
And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
“he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.”
“he entered into a certain village”
“THERE MET HIM TEN MEN THAT WERE LEPERS”
And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
“And when Jesus beheld him”
“he said, THOU ART SIMON THE SON OF JONA”
”THOU SHALT BE CALLED CEPHAS”
“WHICH IS BY INTERPRETATION, A STONE”
But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.

And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.

But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
“AND THOU, CAPERNAUM, WHICH ART EXALTED UNTO HEAVEN”
”SHALT BE BROUGHT DOWN TO HELL”
”for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee”
”had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.”
“AND HAST REVEALED THEM UNTO BABES.”
Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
“A TEACHER OF BABES, WHICH HAST THE FORM OF KNOWLEDGE AND OF THE TRUTH IN THE LAW.”
And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,
These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin:
And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
“AND THESE SHALL STAND UPON MOUNT EBAL TO CURSE”
“REUBEN, GAD, AND ASHER, AND ZEBULUN, DAN, AND NAPHTALI.”
These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

Pope Benedict XVI will kick off a week-long reading of the Bible on Italian television starting Sunday, with readers to include three former presidents and Oscar-winning actor Roberto Benigni.
Some 2,000 people will take turns reading the Bible's 73 books, from the Old Testament's Genesis to the New Testament's Book of Revelations, at Rome's Holy Cross in Jerusalem basilica.
The pope will record the first reading at the Vatican.
And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
“Then said the Lord unto me,”
“Though Moses and Samuel stood before me”
”yet MY MIND COULD NOT BE TOWARD THIS PEOPLE”

And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Lord, even THE DEVILS ARE SUBJECT UNTO US THROUGH THY NAME.
BEHOLD, I COME AS A THIEF. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and THEY SEE HIS SHAME.
Then were THERE TWO THIEVES CRUCIFIED WITH HIM, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, THAT THEY SPEAK HENCEFORTH TO NO MAN IN THIS NAME.
And they called them, and COMMANDED THEM NOT TO SPEAK AT ALL NOR TEACH IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they COMMANDED THAT THEY SHOULD NOT SPEAK IN THE NAME OF JESUS, and let them go.
And they departed from the presence of the council, REJOICING THAT THEY WERE COUNTED WORTHY TO SUFFER SHAME FOR HIS NAME.
Saying, DID NOT WE STRAITLY COMMAND YOU THAT YE SHOULD NOT TEACH IN THIS NAME? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.
Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
I WRITE NOT THESE THINGS TO SHAME YOU, but as my beloved sons I WARN YOU.
For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
I SPEAK TO YOUR SHAME. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
BUT BROTHER GOETH TO LAW WITH BROTHER, and that BEFORE THE UNBELIEVERS.
Whose end is destruction, WHOSE GOD IS THEIR BELLY, and WHOSE GLORY IS IN THEIR SHAME, who mind earthly things
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, DESPISING THE SHAME, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
For consider him that endured such CONTRADICTION OF SINNERS against himself, lest ye BE WEARIED AND FAINT IN YOUR MINDS.
YE HAVE NOT YET RESISTED UNTO BLOOD, striving against sin.
Lord, even THE DEVILS ARE SUBJECT UNTO US THROUGH THY NAME.
BEHOLD, I COME AS A THIEF. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and THEY SEE HIS SHAME.
Then were THERE TWO THIEVES CRUCIFIED WITH HIM, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
For the SON OF MAN IS LORD even of the sabbath day.
But that ye may know that the SON OF MAN HATH POWER ON EARTH to forgive sins
THE SON OF MAN came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, A FRIEND OF PUBLICANS AND SINNERS. But wisdom is justified of her children.
But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
For he said unto him, COME OUT OF THE MAN, THOU UNCLEAN SPIRIT.
And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, MY NAME IS LEGION: FOR WE ARE MANY.
SO THE DEVILS BESOUGHT HIM, saying, If thou cast us out, SUFFER US TO GO AWAY INTO THE HERD OF SWINE.
And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, THE WHOLE HERD OF SWINE RAN VIOLENTLY DOWN A STEEP PLACE INTO THE SEA, AND PERISHED IN THE WATERS.
And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and WHAT WAS BEFALLEN TO THE POSSESSED OF THE DEVILS.
And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, LEGION: BECAUSE MANY DEVILS WERE ENTERED INTO HIM.
And they besought him that he would not COMMAND THEM TO GO OUT INTO THE DEEP.
And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
And there was in their synagogue A MAN WITH AN UNCLEAN SPIRIT; and he cried out,
Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I KNOW THEE WHO THOU ART, THE HOLY ONE OF GOD.
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for WITH AUTHORITY COMMANDETH HE EVEN THE UNCLEAN SPIRITS, AND THEY DO OBEY HIM.
Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
AND FORTHWITH JESUS GAVE THEM LEAVE. AND THE UNCLEAN SPIRITS WENT OUT, AND ENTERED INTO THE SWINE: AND THE HERD RAN VIOLENTLY DOWN A STEEP PLACE INTO THE SEA, (THEY WERE ABOUT TWO THOUSAND;) AND WERE CHOKED IN THE SEA.
And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.
And THEY COME TO JESUS, AND SEE HIM THAT WAS POSSESSED WITH THE DEVIL, AND HAD THE LEGION, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.
Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to MARY MAGDALENE, OUT OF WHOM HE HAD CAST SEVEN DEVILS.
Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain?
These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,
And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
BUT THERE WENT UP A MIST FROM THE EARTH, AND WATERED THE WHOLE FACE OF THE GROUND.
AND THE LORD GOD FORMED MAN OF THE DUST OF THE GROUND, AND BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE; AND MAN BECAME A LIVING SOUL.
And THE LORD GOD PLANTED A GARDEN EASTWARD IN EDEN; AND THERE HE PUT THE MAN WHOM HE HAD FORMED.
AND OUT OF THE GROUND MADE THE LORD GOD TO GROW EVERY TREE THAT IS PLEASANT TO THE SIGHT, and good for food; THE TREE OF LIFE ALSO IN THE MIDST OF THE GARDEN, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
And the LORD GOD TOOK THE MAN, AND PUT HIM INTO THE GARDEN OF EDEN TO DRESS IT AND TO KEEP IT.
And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
And the rib, which THE LORD GOD HAD TAKEN FROM MAN, MADE HE A WOMAN, and brought her unto the man.
And Adam said, THIS IS NOW BONE OF MY BONES, AND FLESH OF MY FLESH: SHE SHALL BE CALLED WOMAN, BECAUSE SHE WAS TAKEN OUT OF MAN.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
AND THEY WERE BOTH NAKED, THE MAN AND HIS WIFE, AND WERE NOT ASHAMED.
And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called HIS NAME ENOS: THEN BEGAN MEN TO CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD.
“the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created”
“in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,”
“But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground”
“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground”
“and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”
“And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted”
“and became into four heads.”
“I was made in secret”
“his name Enos”
“then began men to call upon the name of the Lord.”
“Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither”
“blessed be the name of the Lord”
“AND ISAAC CALLED JACOB, AND BLESSED HIM”
“AND GOD ALMIGHTY BLESS THEE”
“THE SECRET OF GOD WAS UPON MY TABERNACLE”
“WHEN THE ALMIGHTY WAS YET WITH ME”
“AND GIVE THEE THE BLESSING OF ABRAHAM”
“AND BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE; AND MAN BECAME A LIVING SOUL.”

“In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind”

I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE BEGINNING AND THE ENDING
THE BOOK OF THE GENERATION OF JESUS CHRIST
THIS IS THE BOOK OF THE GENERATIONS OF ADAM. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE BEGINNING AND THE END
He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, LORD JESUS.
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and WHATSOEVER ADAM CALLED EVERY LIVING CREATURE, THAT WAS THE NAME THEREOF.
And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
NOW THE SERPENT WAS MORE SUBTIL THAN ANY BEAST OF THE FIELD WHICH THE LORD GOD HAD MADE. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
FOR GOD DOTH KNOW THAT IN THE DAY YE EAT THEREOF, THEN YOUR EYES SHALL BE OPENED, AND YE SHALL BE AS GODS, KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL.
And unto Adam he said, BECAUSE THOU HAST HEARKENED UNTO THE VOICE OF THY WIFE, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
THORNS ALSO AND THISTLES SHALL IT BRING FORTH TO THEE; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
And ADAM CALLED HIS WIFE'S NAME EVE; BECAUSE SHE WAS THE MOTHER OF ALL LIVING.
Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and A FLAMING SWORD WHICH TURNED EVERY WAY, TO KEEP THE WAY OF THE TREE OF LIFE.
I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE BEGINNING AND THE END, THE FIRST AND THE LAST.
The grace of our LORD JESUS CHRIST BE WITH YOU ALL. Amen.
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
THUS THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WERE FINISHED, AND ALL THE HOST OF THEM.

I disagree with Usama1 on the reasons America supports Israel, "even though it is in violation" of this or that standard of behavior. America (and Americans) support Israel because:
I. Israel is a democracy. The Israeli people seek to rule themselves by concensus, negotiation and political compromise, much like America does. The primarily Arab and Islamic opponents of Israel generally do not. Rather, they seek to rule all people through religious dictat, tribalism, and on the basis of a superior/inferior religion/class structure. Arabs/muslims appear to Americans to act in a dictatorial, irrational, and bigoted manner, the ultimate reactionaries. Apartheid is alive and well in all of the middle east, whether it is racial, religious or tribal/class-based.
You can say Israel is all of these things, but in our country we have a saying: "The pot calling the kettle black." Saying such about Israel while refusing to admit it about the rest of the middle east is - well, I want to say hypocritical, but that is an overused term that indicates self-righteousness and intolerance. Let's go with sanctimonious.
II. Israel is the underdog. that is, Israel exists in the midst of enemies, any of which, if they had the will and organization, could destroy Israel's ability to exist. The reasoning for Israel's ostracism seems suspect - that no Muslim land can ever be sold or forfeited to any non-Muslim. that is a strange and untenable idea to Americans, I doubt we'll ever get hold of that concept.
III. Israel is strong in the face of adversity. the nation thrives culturally and economically in the face of the dangers cited above. Israelis do not let a siege mentality destroy their creativity, but rather react with strength and determination when assailed by their neighbors/enemies.
IV. There may be something to the "accusation" that some American evangelical supporters of Israel believe we live in the end times and Israel has a special place in that eschatology. However, I believe that has never been a feature of the American government's support for the state of Israel, at least up until the Bush administration. Even now I am not sure about that and would not go on record as suggesting that our government uses a particular Biblical interpretation to form foreign policy. We are, for the most part, very pragmatic in that regard.

But let's not mention the suicide bombings inflicted on women and children in Israel,or the terrorism played out over the Middle east as it becomes more unstable, while Israel has always been America's staunchest ally. Let's also not mention all the medical and educational programs Israel still provides to poor Palestinians when they are allowed, or all the attempts to make peace that have been blown by the Arabs.

Coloradodog,
You misunderstand scripture. Mankind turned from God overall since Eden. We are on our own for now, by our own choice. Many agree to that even to this day (thru denial of a deity, etc).
So, to those who deny God's existence or even involvement in individual human lives have only themselves to blame for the diseases, maladies and sufferings we bring upon ourselves, homosexuals, non-homosexuals...there is no one group immune from this absolute.
Best regards

The only scripture that applies to government in the US is the law. Scripture in the ordinary sense is a product of a particular church. That would have no place in US government, even though it has been sneaked in at times. In this country we distinctly separate the functions of church and government. Not everyone is happy with this arrangement.

Cal's question is "How do you apply scripture to governing?"
You have every right in the world to think that God will smite homosexuals and I have every right in the world to disagree with you. The difference is when you apply these scriptures to governing. This is the difference between a multi-cultural democracy and a rigid theocracy. I fear the agenda of right-wing evangelicals like Palin is the latter.

Modern AMERICA Evangelical beliefs are notably removed from the enlightened development of Protestant beliefs of the Enlightenment era in Europe. This has resulted in political policies and theories which are notably fatalistic, even nihilistic, rather than reenforcing the universal principles of humanitarianism.
What?
It is well known that American evangelicals support Israel and Israel's regional primacy REGARDLESS of Israel's violations of international norms and standards, as well as contrary to universal principles of humanitarianism once commonplace in American foreign policy and reenforced by traditional Protestant beliefs.
The support for Israel is intended to fulfill the prophecies of the return of Jesus and the subsequen Rapture. This has been a common belief in American Protestant beliefs for centuries going back to the early 19th century. However, the negative outcome of this policy is that the prophecies ALSO indicate that the anti-Christ will precede Jesus and dominate the world with evil.
So IF their foreign policy is effective and consistent, American Evangelicals will actually support the rise of the anti-Christ too given that HIS rise to power in the world will ALSO be a precursor to the return of Jesus and the Rapture.
Evangelicals need to think about this: do you really want America to support the Anti Christ?

And this is a problem with trying to equate scripture with law: it's hard enough to interpret the law itself, never mind claim a religious book is 'really' what it means. Cause there's ugly, ugly things in those books, as easy to quote as you please, by anyone, for any purpose.
Even ones you think don't exist or could never happen.
Frankly, the people who want to impose these religious laws (really the idea of them,) on us all, have never *read* them, or at least never heard them on the lips of an attacker. Or rapist.

"Actually, according to scripture, the act itself brings about the penalty:"
Actually, according to some other writings of Paul, gay men are to be killed 'and their blood shall be upon them,' ie, it's not the killer's responsibility.

Amazing how people think the old and new testament differ so much. Very few people even know that yesterday, known by many as the 'Jewish New Year', was actually the Feast Day, High Holy Day, of Trumpets. Has meaning in the OT, obviously. What many dont know is that it has corresponding meaning in the NT. Did you know the NT church kept it, the Passover, etc. before the Nicene council did its number? All of the 7 annual Holy Days of the OT have NT meaning. The Feast of Trumpets, in a NT light, also shadows the blowing of trumpets at Christ's return to earth.
Christmas? Easter? All counterfeits. Read Rev 12:9 too.

If you pray to God, he will kill your enemies for you. Psalms 9:3-6 (look out, Obama!)

Scripture should *not* be applied to governing, not as a basis, anyway, is what it is. Government and people in it, furthermore, should demonstrate that they know the difference.
Even where a common view of what a religious doctrine demands seems to be perfectly in alignment, (say, that walking up to someone and shooting them isn't to be permitted,) this doesn't mean that the laws against murder are *based* on a Scripture that says this: the laws are *based* on the fact that this behavior is bad for the society that the government ...is meant to govern.
Our government is a social contract. We the people. With each other. Not 'under religion.'
If the public good and a scripture agree, great. If they don't, this doesn't give someone the right to wave Scripture and override the public good, or the reason by which we determine these things.

Or how about enforcing Genesis 23:24 by not allowing others to worship a different god. Pass legislation to conquer them and destroy their religious property?
Or whoever works, or even kindles a fire, on the Sabbath "shall be put to death."? Genesis 35:2-3?
Or anyone who blasphemes or curses shall be stoned to death by the entire community. 24:16
Oops, there goes Vice President Dick Cheney!
My point is intolerant evangelicals of your ilk, Chuck, who cherry pick scriptures can't have it both way. If America is to become a "Christian Nation" with, as Huckabee suggests, a Constitution meeting "God's Standards." McCain and Palin have to enforce ALL the scriptures, not just the ones they like for their narrow political agenda.

Or Leviticus 20:13 - If a man has sex with another man, kill them both?

How about Genesis 17:14? Should all uncircumcised American males be exiled to the Alaskan island of Diamude where they can see Russia from their houses?

From Concerned the Christian now Liberated:
Not one debate question about First Born Male Butchery, Witches, Holy Cows, Holy Ghosts/Spirits, Pretty Thingies (e.g. Gabriels, Moronis), Ascending/Descending Bodies, Wine to Blood and Bread to Flesh and the rest of that ancient Voodoo with some first century Palestine hoodoo and six to seventh century Arab Hoodoo!!
Shocking???? Or maybe we have finally grown up and put away Dark Age superstitions!!!!!!
