Pray They Don't Change Football Just Because Players' Brains are Damaged -
10-14-2013, 03:28 AM
Liberal Christians are worse than no Christians. At least that's my conclusion from reading that some liberal Christians think there is a "moral question" about supporting football because a large number of players have scrambled brains from playing.
Hey, liberal Christians, IT'S FOOTBALL for crying out loud. Manly guys play it and manly guys watch it. If our country starts going wimpy about the best entertainment in the world, we're really in trouble.
Even players with scambled brains can make money signing autographs. Really, I don't see a problem.

Amen, Mr. Mayor. Football players are not paid to be brainiacs, they usually aren't that smart to begin with. It's not like they are going to have careers after they retire from playing football anyway.

The idea that brains have anything to do with thinking is just propaganda from liberal-bias neuroscience and the helmet industry. Also the whole concept of "brain damage" or any physical thing influencing a person's mind - is a denial of the Biblical truth that we have an IMMORTAL SOUL.

The Bible mentions a number of key
human organs, such as the heart, blood, bowels, liver, and kidneys,
but never mentions...the brain.
Of course, the Bible speaks of the "head." It is a place
to be anointed and crowned and where the priests wore their miters
(turbans)....
The ancients (including the Hebrews) all agreed that one such
organ, the primary one, in fact, was the heart. They used the
word _heart_ repeatedly, attaching enormous _emotional
_ and _moral_ significance to its behavior. The Bible
emphasizes how the _heart_ "deviseth a man's way,"
"inspires speech" "believes," "is joyful,"
"is deceitful," "is good" (Prov. 16:9, Mt. 12: 34, Rom. 10:10, 1 Chron. 16:10, Jer. 17:9, Lk. 6:45)
Besides the heart, the Bible also focuses
(to a lesser extent) on the emotional and moral significance of
the bowels and kidneys. Here are some of the verses in the King
James Bible in which the Greek and Hebrew terms for bowels and
kidneys are literally translated:
My bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon
him, saith the Lord -Jer. 31:20
Be ye straitened [restrained] in your own bowels -2 Cor. 6:12
I long after you in the bowels [affection] of Christ (Philip. 1:8).
(T)he bowels of the saints are refreshed.... ®efresh my bowels
in the Lord -Philemon 7:20
(S)hutteth up his bowels of compassion -1 John 3:17
Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins [Latin,
renes, which means kidneys, a literal translation of the Hebrew] -Ps. 73:21
My reins [kidneys] also instruct me in the night seasons -Ps.
16:7).
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish
the just: for the righteous God trieth the heart and reins [kidneys]
-Ps. 7:9
Yea, my reins [kidneys] shall rejoice when my lips speak right
things -Prov. 23:16).
I am He [God] which searcheth the reins [kidneys] and hearts -Rev. 2:23).

Disagree? By failing to register and debate me, you prove that liberals are factless frauds who only persuade through intimidation. To prove otherwise, debate me!

Thank you for that insight, Brother Thurmond. I'm just a Monday night football fan and had not thought about the theology of those so called brain injured players.
If the brain is not part of the anatomy God considers important enough to mention, why should there be all the hubub about protecting it? You have provided us with another example of why we need to stick to the Bible to find wisdom.
Isaiah 24:1-3 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty (2)...as the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. (3) The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken his word.

As long as they have enough brain left to run, throw, catch, and to accept as their personal LORD and Savior, I don't really see what the problem is here. It smells like yet another feminazi plot to turn our boys queer.
II Thessalonians 1:7-9
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power
The man who is being progressively sanctified will inescapably sanctify his home, school, politics, economics, science, and all things else by understanding and interpreting all things in terms of the Word of God and by bringing all things under the Dominion of Christ the King. -R.J. Rushdoony
