Do you believe that the use of birth control or contraception is immoral, even in cases of rape?

[Joe Biden 2020]

On the question of how often communion should be taken, the Bible does not specify how often you should do it, but just says in 1 Corinthians 11:25b-26 (KJV) - (25b) "This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. (26) For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till He come."

Please forgive me, but what is your denomination again?

I think he's AoG but I could be wrong.

I'm not sure if you abandoned this thread, JCL, but I'd really like an answer to this if you haven't.  I'm curious.

I can't speak for JCL obviously, but Evangelical Protestants who don't believe in using birth control even when there isn't rape are few and far between.

Out of curiosity what denomination are you TJ? I'm guessing by your avatar that you are LCMS or LCWS.

Oops. I always thought he was a Protestant of some sort.

Nope, Catholic. A blue Wisconsin avatar is hardly inconsistent with being Catholic, just look at our last VP nominee or our only other regular poster with a blue Wisconsin avatar

By LCWS, do mean WELS? If so I must say those are probably the two major Protestant denominations closest to being Catholic so you're close.

I'm still here. Working on a massive RL project this week.

That is between the couple and God in my honest opinion. Personally I will not but if she does I will not argue.

Yes I'm AoG.

My church has communion once a month. Some I have relationship with do so every Sunday service.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

I'm still taking questions

[H. Ross Peron]

Also are you a Dispensationalist?

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Also are you a Dispensationalist?

In terms of eschatology I am a firm premillennialist. It's a matter of the order of events that I'm examining at the moment. The historicist view is one I'm also examining.

[Flake]

Are you liberal on any social issues?

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Are you liberal on any social issues?

What do you consider social issues besides marriage and abortion.

[Flake]

What's your positions on adoption equality, animal rights, racism and intolerance, birth control, capital punishment, child labor, corporate crime, criminal rights, disability rights, the war on drugs, energy dependency (green), animal habitat destruction, global warming, hate crimes, marijuana, mandatory sentencing, minimum wage, nuclear energy, common core, voting rights, and womens rights?

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

I oppose allowing gay couples the right to adopt given my Christian convictions.

We should be stewards of this earth that God gave us and while I do like to eat a cow, chicken, turkey, various fish, lamb, and alligator from time to time they should be treated with care and respect while they are alive

Racial intolerance is something that grinds my gears to no end. While I do oppose affirmative action I'm a firm believer in educating cross cultural as a way to combat racism.

Birth control is between a couple and their God. Government should neither promote or discourage.

I do support capital punishment but only for capital murder and treason

The laws in Indiana regarding minors working are fine. Farms should be able to have kids in non-hazardous responsibilities but no younger than 14 and no more than 4 hours a day or 16 hours a week

Further answers will be forthcoming

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

We have to have strong laws against corporate criminality. Look at Enron for example. As corporations are not people regulations have to be strong to prevent consumer abuse. Ralph Nader and Ron Paul have come together with some intelligent ideas on this.

I oppose mandatory sentencing and am more supportative of rehabilitative sentencing for non-violent offenders. Including restoration of full citizenship rights after release and up to five years of not getting arrested again. Criminals should be treated with respected but they're in jail to think about what they did.

Here's a simple one, I think...must one attend church to be saved?

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

One should go to church(Hebrews 10:25)  but going to church makes one a Christian as much as going to Cracker Barrel makes you hash brown casserole. Salvation is only found by placing your faith in Jesus. (Acts 4:12, Romans 10:9-10)

So it's not a necessary condition. Ok.

No,but it is rather beneficial for ones walk to regularly fellowship with other believers.
