But... when the law deals with those precepts it will be for the purpose of dealing with a person who has infringed upon the the life, rights or property of another. That is... by definition... protecting society.

But another good way to protect society is to make sure that our government doesn't get into the business of legislating morality.

You would agree that abortion should be illegal? Seems to me the term "legislating morality" is thrown at anyone who is not a liberal PC advocate.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945

"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
