Do you think that Damascus Nancy (Pelosy) looked good in his headress?
I hope she was furious about having to go through that humiliation, imagine that women are covering their heads in public. Im surprised he even talked with a woman on important issues. I think he should have gone for the full Burka for missing the point Debra Damascus, Nancy did not have to go to Syria at all other than the President, no matter how much you think it is. Just as Hanoi Jane was nothing to do sitting in an antiaircraft gun against the CV as a director of advertising operations of each country must be tried for treason I do not oppress women, I'm more willing to allow a woman to support me in a style that I want to become accustomed. just havent found a rich enough yet.
Tell that with the cut and run policy that better get used to wearing one of those. The only good thing is that all women are wearing the burqa and not have to look at Hillary or Nancy.

The Westminster Confession calls a necessary element of salvation: "the inner work of the Holy Spirit" (WCF 1:5). John said that "the one is born again he can not see the kingdom of God "(John 3:3). Peter said," Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, has begotten us again unto a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead "(1 Peter 1:3). Later in the chapter clarifies Peter "Ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart, since they were born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the living and abiding word of God, because "All flesh is as grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord endures forever. "And this word is the good news that was preached to you" (1 Peter 1:23-25).
Peter tells us that the new birth in Christ is a necessary - even the base - the Gospel or good news of Jesus Christ. Regeneration is not optional. It is a fact. All Christians born again, and if anyone not born again s / he is not a Christian. God sent His Holy Spirit through the ministry of Jesus Christ - his birth, death and atonement for sin. And there is no salvation outside the invasion of the Holy Spirit in the believer's life. Just as God invaded human history through the birth of Jesus Christ for the Holy Spirit invades our personal lives through the regeneration of individual believers.
The send the Holy Spirit is the initial or fundamental gift of the grace of God, the Holy Spirit carries the message of salvation and redemption to God's people. The Holy Spirit brings the message of salvation to each person individually. Through the Holy Spirit, the message of salvation is internalized - made real in a way staff - because the Holy Spirit resides in the hearts and minds of Christians.
Paul wants to "convey in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit "(1 Corinthians 3:13). Most versions of the Bible uses the word speak rather than teach. The Greek literally means the speech overall. It is important to note that the gospel is shared through words passed from one person to another, sometimes spoken, sometimes written. This teaching of the Holy Spirit not magic, but is a function of everyday speech and writing. There are candles in a dark room, no special languages charismatic, not Mumbo Jumbo, non-special touch the teacher. Just words. Paul's letters offer an example of how it happens.
Paul was converted (born again) on the road to Damascus. They were taught about Jesus Christ by the Spirit, not by men (Galatians 1:1). Paul's conversion he changed his mind and heart, and spent the rest of his life talking about of Jesus. His speech consisted in preaching, writing letters and individual counseling or conversations.
Paul tells us that their preferred method of teaching is to compare spiritual things with spiritual. In other words, things, mundane things are not sufficient to explain spiritual. Another way of putting it is that the truth of Scripture is clear to those born again. Or Scripture teaches Scripture. Or similar things in the world will always fall short of biblical truth. The illustration biblical truths unbiblical, worldly stories always falls short.
Would you go to a natural man to learn the spiritual truth? Of course no. Would you go to a non-Christian to learn about Christianity? Of course not. And why not? As Paul said, "the natural man receiveth not the things of Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, he can not understand, because they are spiritually discerned "(1 Corinthians 3:14). Show me someone who thinks that Christianity is crazy, and I'll show you a worldly person. The reason they think that Christianity is silly is you can not perceive the reality of God.
