In short, I'm not sure that the abortion problem can be solved by legislation. I think it can only be solved through moral persuasion.
- Making

- Nov 07, 2020
Prior to ROE V. WADE, abortions were common even though they were illegal. I don't think making them illegal again is going to solve the problem.
- City

That's what they do in Europe. You go down to the city hall and you become legally connected. You have a civil union there. Then, if you're religious, you go down to the church, and the church blesses the union. That gets the problem solved.
- Legal

I don't know of many evangelicals who want to deny gay couples their legal rights. However, most of us don't want to call it marriage, because we think that word has religious connotations, and we're not ready to see it used in ways that offend us.
- Congregation

- Nov 07, 2020
But I think it's up to a local congregation to determine whether or not a marriage should be blessed of God. And it shouldn't be up to the government.
- Minister

I'm a minister, and I serve as a minister in addition to being a university professor.
- Legal
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I contend the state ought to do its thing and provide legal rights for all couples who want to be joined together for life. The church should bless unions that it sees fit to bless, and they should be called marriages.
- Poor

I teach at Eastern University, which is highly committed to doing work among the poor and the oppressed peoples of the world. We have a special commitment to the city.
- Moral

- Nov 07, 2020
So after the Lewinsky scandal, everything changed, and we moved from using the Bible to address the moral issues of our time, which were social, to moral issues of our time that were very personal. I have continued that relationship up until the present.
- God
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think it goes back to the fact that the evangelical community often does not have a biblical vision of God.
- Poor
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The reason why I buy into the Democratic Party more than the Republican Party is because there are over 2,000 verses of Scripture that deal with responding to the needs of the poor.
- People

- Nov 07, 2020
Of the 22 industrialized nations of the world, we're dead last in per capita giving to poor people.
- Better Job
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
So I really would like to see both parties respond to the poor with greater commitment. But I've got to tell you, the Democrats, I feel, are doing a better job in that respect than Republicans are.
- Justice
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I contend that Bush would be a lot more moderate if there weren't some fundamentalists breathing down his neck every time he wants to establish the state of Israel, every time he wants to do justice for the Palestinian people.
- Nation
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My theology is such that the God who loves Israel and will not forsake Israel - which is why I want to see Israel have a secure nation with secure borders - also loves the Palestinians.
- Arrogant
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If America is too arrogant, too prideful to repent, it's not the kind of country that God wants it to be.
- Islam
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When leading evangelicals say terrible things about Islam, evil things about Islam, terrible things about Muhammad, they ought to be ashamed of themselves.
- Gay
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The two hot issues are the gay issue and the abortion issue. These are the two defining issues in the evangelical community these days. I'm sure that these hot buttons will be pushed, time and time again.
- Bible
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think there are other issues that the Democrats could use to rally evangelicals. There are a lot of us, for instance, who believe that the Bible calls us to be environmentally responsible.
- Man
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
But I contend that if we're providing total medical coverage for every man, woman, and child in Iraq, shouldn't we at least be doing the same thing for every man, woman, and child in the United States?
