Baylor is staunchly Baptist. Founded in 1857, Baylor Law School is the oldest law school in Texas and has been accredited by the American Bar Association since 1931 and a member of the Association of American Law Schools since 1938. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baylor_Law_School

Not all Protestants are evangelicals. But high courts don't attract Protestants.

Why did the wife of the president of Mexico call you?
We had been threatened with deportation by the prior administration that was still in power. She served as the incoming administration's spokesperson. She said we would not be cast out. She was true to her word,

Fornication (premarital sex) is rampant. Adultery is widespread. The cardinal of all Mexico objected to the president, a 'good practicing Catholic,' divorcing and remarring. His new wife telephoned me!

Off-topic, but interesting.

I agree, some swim across (but most walk across). When I lived there, the mouth of the Rio Grande dried up and like Moses, they walked over on dry land! There's a village just south of Lajitas, where they wade to town and back. I've been a wetback at 3 international borders. Most of the border is a desert of death. Most of them cross at cities from El Paso to Brownsville. They take buses from Matamoros, attend school in B'ville, daily, returning home nightly.

Maybe it's the death of moral values. The Pope says Europe is full of immorality. It's caused by straight couples fornicating.

You and I cannot prove that UFO's, aliens or non-spicy somtam exist or not. It does not matter one bit.

Agreed. Mexico is not a developed country though its GDP ranks it 11th or 12th. The largest part of the border, however, is a very long river. Well patrolled in some places, but not in others. The Lower Rio Grande Valley is well controlled and populated on both sides.

And a darn god one too.  Of course I am the resident war-monger so would be expected to really appreciate a good bloody war hym when I hear one.  I am partial to the Marine Corps hymn as well.  I also know some marching cadences that would probably singe your ears.
A hymn to the horrors of war, "...to the halls of Montezuma," about 700 miles south of the map made for Congress, with its southernmost boundary at Corpus Christi Bay. Mexicans still revere the young cadets who wrapped themselves in their flag and leaped off Chapultepec hill. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ni%C3%B1os_H%C3%A9roes
Yeah, that doesnt make any sense does it?  It is kind of like how the 7th US Cavalry is famous for getting slaughtered at Little Bighorn or the ANZACS revering the guys who got beat at Gallipoli.  I could never figure those out either.
Good point - it's easier to make glorious heroes out of victors. Tennyson wrote about those slaughtered in 'the charge on the light brigade.'

"...Their's not to make reply,
Their's not to reason why,
Their's but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
  Rode the six hundred."

When I lived in Brownsville in 2002, US Army and Border Patrol was there, big time. Since then, northern Mexican cities are losing the battle against drug-runners. I don't know - have you lived there since I left? Have you proof?

Not sure how the congregational polity could fit in. Its only authority on earth is the local congregation, period.

I learned from Southern Baptist Th.D.'s that there were 3 types of denominations: monarchical, presbyterian, and congregational. The papacy - the whole RC church - is a monarchy. I don't agree with its structure. The bishop of Rome heads the entire RC church.

And would such a mythical government be any less "Christ-like" than the current war-waging American one?

Maybe I'm obsessed about war.

The Pope seems to say that Europe is very secular.

Christianity Today / Re: Has Calvinism made a comeback?
« on: April 06, 2010, 08:35:11 PM »
I read that Southern Baptists had a modified form of Calvinism. The Canadian Calvinist scholar said that some things not approved by Calvin became standard Calvinist practice. Such as allowing non-Calvinists to live and worship freely. The Baptists didn't learn separation of church and state from Calvin. Nor believer's baptism.

If Israel as a Jewish nation had been faithful to God, we didn't need Jesus. They failed. Replaced by the Church.

Zwingli personally tortured them in Zurich. Calvin probably considered them heretics and banned them. I read a book about Anabaptists by a Canadian Calvinist who claimed they're still condemned in their doctrinal statements.

But maybe I'm wrong.
