Eddie. Long time no see. You might remember me, reporter at Chounilbo, professor at Handong... Yes, I dropped into here through a website. I am so happy you already became a daddy and a pastor... I will stay in US from November, maybe can go to LA. I want to see you. I am very sure I can communicate with you in English, more freely than a couple years ago when we saw in New York. You are working for North Koreans, yet!!! Me too. I have many stories to share with you... And I have an apology. I could not participate in your wedding. Sorry for that. Instead, I am going to send my best regards to you and your family. With love and respect, Monica Miyoung Kim Hi. Eddie.

]]> Comment on Homosexuality, the Church, and Science by Patrick http://edwardkim.wordpress.com/2007/06/30/homosexuality-and-the-church/#comment-253 Patrick Wed, 25 Mar 2009 02:26:04 +0000 http://edwardkim.wordpress.com/2007/06/30/homosexuality-and-the-church/#comment-253 An interesting discussion but the whole "Gay Gene" debate misses the point, if homosexuality is a sin, motives are irrelevant. By nature I, a strait male, struggle with the temptation to cheat on my wife because of my genes, but few would argue that this would not be a sin. I also want to maim those who anger me, but but my natural response only demonstrates my fallenness and need for a savior; not a debate about what the cause for my actions is. As far as homosexuality goes I agree with what MacArthur talked about in the interview that was not in the quote, and that is what is more important than what the individual sin is, is the presences of repentance and the individuals response to the sin of homosexuality. Unfortunately, like most sins if the majority doesnt struggle with it its much more comfortable for individuals who make up the majority in the church to point fingers while ignoring the common and equally damming sins, such as adultery and pornography.

This is such a fantastic message--thanks so much for sharing! However, I have a question: I often pray for unbelieving family and friends, asking God to open their hearts so that they too may receive the Gospel and know the salvation of Christ. Is God's answer ultimately "yes?" If so--and I do long for this to be true!--then do you think that the Bible teaches universal salvation, not limited atonement? (I asked you about this a few years ago, but I'm wondering if you have something new to say now.) ~Bonnie Hi Edward!

While the Court found resoundingly in favor of the business owners, Jin and Soo Chung, their ordeal is not yet over—they have drained their saving accounts contesting this frivolous lawsuit, and they have racked up over $100,000 in legal expenses. In order to help the Chungs defray their legal bills, ILR and the American Tort Reform Association are co-hosting a fundraiser on Tuesday evening, July 24 at 6 p.m. at the US Chamber Building in Washington, DC. Unfortunately, businesses large and small across America must deal every day with similar extortionist tactics from some plaintiffs’ lawyers. The collective outcome is not justice, but lost jobs, ruined businesses and billions of dollars in lost economic opportunity.
