Evangelicals Say Palin's Daughter Won't Be an Issue
A panel of evangelical leaders debates the Christian vote

"Evangelicalls" & Sarah Palin
The only aspect of the column that bothered me was the mention of "Climate Change" due to human activity. The whole theory rests upon lousy science and totally fails to explain historical climate changes. Does anyone remember reading about the ice age that carved out the great lakes and other bodies of water; the very warm climate that dominated the height of the Roman civilization or the "mini-ice age that helped Rome fall; or the warm period that followed when the Vikings settled in Greenland and refered to northern Maine and Nova Scotia as vineland; followed by yet another period of cold that set Europe back into the medievil period; followed by the Renaisance warm period that spawned the greatest explosion of thought and dreams of the essential freedom of man; which was followed by another cold period which provided the impetous for the American and French revolutions? None of these events were in anyway caused or exacerbated by the action of mankiind.
It was the comments of Shera of GA, Russ of MT, and Joe of Texas which prompted mr to write. First, the human failings, errors, and yes sins of Sarah's familly are not hers. Second, Have any of you tried to accomplish anything with a teenager? I was a fairly good kid until I got to be about 16 or 17. Things went rapidly downhill from that point. Third, what would you have had the daughter do, marry someone she didn't love just because their union had produced life? That is a lousy basis for a marriage. Finnally where is your love for people inspite of their failings? Jesus forgave many many sinners on their mere confession of sin and pledge not to do it again. I think that you may all need a spiritual house cleaning. . .
Palin's Decision Making Skills
Evangelicals say, "No problem." Hmmm....and yet the Bible says at 1 Corinthians 6:9 that fornicators will not enter into the kingdom of the heavens. Yes, humans are imperfect, however, the verses go on to show this would be those practicing this. Hmmm....and yet it must have been done more than once since they have been together for a time. Still not married, still "practicing" this? Palin has made personal decisions that reflect her decision making. The daughter was younger than 17 when doing this, Palin has no control over her own household but wants to run all of ours???
Who's your daddy???
It's amazing that if "we" Christians said anything about your little sin problem we would be "judging" you. But I guess it's probably to late for that. You see in the gospel of John chapter 3 it says that as an unbeleiver you stand condemned already. Don't say another word. Unless you want to repent. Jesus is listening to you too. And he will forgive, if you have a sincere heart. But if it all hate and frustration and hiding, he knows...Sorry you see us as such hypocritical people. I've been married for 14 years, never had sex before or during marriage with anyone else. You had better take your own plight serious. You and I can point the finger all we want. God will have the last word when we move on from this earth, no matter who comes into office.
Not Married Yet?
Why isn't Palin's daughter married yet? I think she's been pregnant for 5 or so months. Has she suddenly decided to get married after her mother's nomination?
Evangelicals
Christians are human too. Just because children are taught to not do something doesn't mean they aren't going to do it. Most teenagers do what they want no matter what they have been taught. And I am quite sure the ones raising the most rucus has long surpassed their moral teachings no matter if they were raised in a christian home. Morality isn't just for christians. And no where in the bible does it state a woman can't hold office. Just because a person is a male doesn't mean they can do a better job.
Evangelical Views to Dena
"the bible views a woman's place in society and sex before marriage.?" Where in the bible does it state that a woman shouldn't be in office? Yes, the bible does state you are not to have sex before marriage doesn't mean people don't make mistakes. The bible also says no sin is greater than the other so having sex is not greater than telling a lie. I wonder how many "evangelicals" sins daily. That is why we have grace. I bet you have a "rule" that you try to live by but have failed at it a time or two. Let the first person that has not sinned throw the first stone. In other words, how can you be so critical of people when you are not so perfect yourself.
Evangelical Views
I'm not exactly certain who the "Evangelicals" are. I know that they are opposed to "pro choice" where abortion is concerned, but now I am a bit confused on their views of how the bible views a woman's place in society and sex before marriage. Do you folks just make it up as you go along? Traditional values are touted by the Republicans, but they tend to also make up the rules to suit their own purposes.

WHAT would Jesus DO?
Evangelicals can say how honorable this woman is for encouraging her daughter to do the right thing. Yes, it is. They can say how her personal crisis won't affect her ability to run for VP. Obviously, it hasn't...she seems to be running right along. But these same Christians deep down KNOW, that when a family stumbles into crisis, you gather your wagons, and take care of your own. Any family who has experienced an underaged child becoming a parent understands the exhausting amount of work, struggle, and commitment needed to see it threw, and still help the child move past it. SARAH PALIN is choosing her career over the privacy, protection, and fate of her troubled child. I'm not advocating that a "mothers place is in the home", but as a Christian, I KNOW, a good mother will always put her family before herself. Her career could have waited.
