When President Bush announced in the State of the Union address his support for research on embryonic stem cells that are created without destroying life (by means of a new discovery), Republicans leapt to their feet and applauded. Most Democrats sat with their hands folded. Why?
Democrats have been criticizing President Bush for not using federal funds on stem cell research. So why weren’t they applauding? Is it because any admission that an embryo is alive hurts their case for abortion? Back on November 30th, I agreed with others who predicted this would happen.

I hate to put it this way, but it think it’s true: the Democrat party seems more concerned with continuing to allow babies to be killed rather than finding new medical advances to help everyone live.
Well, we do know how much politics is about staying on ideological lines. Perhaps it was more because Bush said it. People love to rally behind common enemies. People are sheep, even if they think they’re modern and enlightened.
Frank Turek’s series “I don’t have enough faith to be an athiest” is awesome! I am curious to see if he can present proof that the laws of God have been done away with. When Paul stated the law was nailed to the cross (KJV), I beleive that the penalty for breaking it was done away with, not the law itself. Murder is still a sin, as is adultry, idolitry, etc., and I beleive that Jesus paid the penalty for breaking it. If we beleive that the law is done away with, then Man decides for himself what is right from wrong.
Jesus said He did not come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it. The Law still exists, indeed Jesus exposed how deep the law goes-it is not just a matter of behavior, but of the heart, too. The consequences of the Law have been nailed to the cross, but there is still one Lawgiver and Judge. Those not covered by the grace of God will be judged by the law that still exists.
The Law (Torah, Meaning instructions) Was never done away with. Yahshua Says that nothing would be gone until jeaven and earth had passed away. And to my understanding, the statement that the law was nailed to the cross is never found in the bible.
