we were never given the scriptures. the jews were given the scriptures. this was a very powerful argument. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, congratulations to the old space shuttle. [singing] 0, child things will get easier things will be budget brighter. some day, we will walk in the days of the city son. someday, we will rise in the city and son. sunday, when the budget is brighter. some day, we will have lots of fun. we will be number one some day, we will have a great city it will be better, just you wait and see that things will be easier. things will be brighter someday, it will get it to the budget together. the mayor will sign it today and he did it right today right now the act, he signed it today we are going to get it together >> next speaker. >> i work for a congressman jackie spears. i wanted to express the congressman's interest in working with you on issues that are important to the city, especially if there is anything with a federal component. let us know. we have had some successful partnerships in the past few months. the c

we are admonished by the scripture. i believe passionately that what we do to our brothers we do to our lord. to be a person subjected to anti-semitism or someone in the south sudan who is being told they have to become muslim. it could be a muslim who is subjected to other things. wiggars are in china and happen to be muslims. they are terribly oppressed. >> your idea of quarters of tranquillity to get aid into areas of somalia, will you be doing something to take that beyond an idea to the administration or outside? >> we asked the administration to pursue it. we have a letter going to the administration to that effect. it has worked in the past. i remember meeting with the ethiopian delegation in new york in the 1980's when the famine was exacerbated by the dictator. our big push was to get the corridors of tranquility because so many people were buying. there were modest successes. i was in el salvador in the early 1980's when the flm, communists, and the president negotiated a day of tranquillity. where there is a w

another thing that comes to mind is in the scriptures, it says when you give something, do not get it grudgingly. they do not want it if you are giving it grudgingly. did it with love. so she gave it with love. when you do something, do it with love. i was on my way here, listening to a song called "stepping in the name oof love -- of love" by r. kelly. he says if they ask why you did it, say you did it for love. i think that is why she did it. [applause] >> i am also one of the great- grandchildren of miss was sparked -- miss westbrook. i am very thankful, also, in light of the contribution you have blessed my grandmother with. she is very happy for this project here when you were about 97% finished, and you allow me to come video tape these things for her, she was really happy at what she had seen, and i wanted to thank you for that. anything we can do to put a smile on faces of folks who have sacrificed so much on behalf of us, you know, is a good thing. for those of us, you know, who are in member growing up, who have to look out for me while grandma was dealing in some of these m

of the world was to translate religion into poetry, to help the see that the literal truth of the scripture is not nearly as important and can be very misleading to the poetry of the experience. and he said to me, if you want to change the world contains a metaphor. tains the poetry. to me that the essentially is how i see religion today. the troops study reveals poetic rather than literal. >> we were not brought up with metaphor, brother. [laughter] you and i both had scorching experiences when we were young, and you know it. we looked into a yawning chasm at our feet of hellfire, and we withdrew from it. we felt -- and we felt the love of the lord surrounding us. if joseph campbell had told the story of abraham and isaac, i would have understood that. if he told the story of joan and the whale would have been up there with that. the prodigal son was my favorite, but anyway. because we both grew up with that i know you deeply, maybe more than you want me to know you. >> when did you first go to church? >> palace carried into church. the bosom of large women. [laughter] >> i walked into chu

you know god being human beings the ability to write the scripture but it seems to me that faithful jews faithful muslims faithful christians understand in all of those traditions that god loves the least and the poorest and the last and calls us to be part of healing the planet which is also a student here that's right. and it was the inciting incident for your arrest in the rotunda of the. so-called crisis. exactly when the president came on the air and spoke and they enter spoke after. a group of our staff got together and said what role should we be playing and we had just listened to a really courageous individual by the name of john raines former faculty member at temple one of the freedom riders he came to speak to the common cause staff and he really inspired us he talked about his days of getting on a bus as a white graduate student aged twenty seven going down to arkansas fifty years ago getting arrested. and he reminded us that he had just been reinvited arc and so he was brought in as a hero fifty years later he was honored for his presence and it just inspired the staff to s

and others have put into this brief which i read all the way through as well when he is quoting the scripturesaying just even stopping at the side of a road and trying to help. >> that's written in there? >> no. of course it's not. >> bill: you are interpreting this way. >> that's what lawyers do. >> bill: what lawyers do. i want a definition on the law. wait a minute, i got the fact that you can't transport illegal alien. >> or hire them. >> can't give them a job. >> bill: or rent an apartment to them. >> or ride or place to live. >> bill: it's clear that the alabama state legislature doesn't want them. >> we got the memo ill. >> bill: do you see abuse along the lines of what the reverend said that the reverend's freedom of religion. is he claiming that his freedom of religion is being violated you don't see that. >> no. is he going too far to try to make a broader point. i do not see that is a violation of the law as written. he can go ahead and speculate about his own interpretation but that does not have legal weight. >> the law is way too broad, way too vague. >> bill: do you think it's

the only thing they will have going on is they believe in some of the same scriptures as some of the lds church, but they've taken on taken put their own spin on it, and things like that. you know, i think a lot of the outside world tends to group the two together, but mormons are no more flds than lutherans are catholic, you know? i mean, the lutherans chose to separate themselves from the catholic church, or episcopal church, or whatever. they are their own religion and the essence of their own religion. >> sam brower, this is his book, "prophet's prey." it comes out in october 2011, published by bloomsbury. >> senator daniel anyway a democrat from hawaii is reading the law simple by dan brown and the fiery trial by eric owner. >> visit booktv.org to see this and other summer reading lists your. >> his book of "the idea of america" is a fabulous book. you be doing a book signing afterwards if i'm not mistaken. it really is one of those books that if you love history, not just the revolutionary period, but history in general but this is something you should have on your bookshelf. s

i am not a great reader of the scriptures. erms of religion, but we are seeing right now is quite different. there was an attempt amongst the extremists to go back to the seventh century. today, people are trying to go for words, rather than back words, courtesy of globalization. islam is not an end goal, it is a means to an end. yes, it is reflective in the number of women using scarf had covered in places like egypt, but many of them are not referring back to the muslim brotherhood. they do feel they are claiming a identity. i lived in south africa for many years during the anti-apartheid movement. desmond tutu served as one of the leading voices. wherever you look, during these big transitions, people often do not have leaders or ideology, so they look to value in terms of faith. we have to be very careful about differentiating between the two. we have to be careful in terms of gross misrepresentations. host: you noted that new societies and new governments are more likely to be more democratic and more islamic. but we might

and the typical researcher that concluded that by saying there are no incantations required to the scriptures in trying to figure out how to use that phrase and i publish some of my research. i think it could be helpful. the unintended consequence of this is that there is no word for the necessary than all words are possible and you will see that in just a moment. >> i think miranda can be looked at from five fairly distinct areas which obviously overlap each other. the most basic is vocabulary. as you can't use the word indigent with the word indicted, clearly this shows a problem in terms of understanding. the second is comprehension. this is simply tested looking at those a person have the ability to recall? the retention by the way becomes more important with recent decisions though a person could in fact be given the warning hours and potentially days before and can then be considered at the time which they make incriminating statements. one shall focus more today on the higher levels including misconceptions, the idea that silence can be incriminating to reasoning. can a person deduce t

i'm not a great reader of the scripture or know the chapters. one the interesting things in terms of religion or islam, it's different. in the past, there was an attempt to go back to the 7th century among the extremist. islam is not an end goal. it's the means to an end. yeah, it's reflected in the number of women, but that doesn't mean they are fanatic that back the muslim brotherhood. many of them don't. i lived in south africa during the movement, nelson mandel, and you see the dalai lama, people don't have a leader or ideology. they look for their values in terms of faith. that doesn't mean they are trying to determine islamic fates. otherwise we're going to scare ourselves in terms of what is islam and what are it's intentions into growth -- it will be a gross misrepresentation of what's going on. >> host: new societies and governments are likely to be more democratic and mor islamic. as you just pointed out, it can be hard for outsiders. we might equate a religious state as being sharia law or some sort of the buzz words that come up in o

not quite as directly as that the using scripture to illustrate what they meant. we were interested in all these questions. >> the finally told susan f. she wrote to know what she would so likable thousand copies of she wrote nonfiction she could sell way more because the story of what actually happened was much more fascinating than anything we could make up. so from that point* on we started to dig through the library's of charleston and south carolina to find frank dawson's papers and weigh more than we ever expected to find. every time we thought we knew what was going on in we uncovered more and it was more fascinating and more fascinating than the story loomed into the wiggins story of the upcoming apocalypse basically happening september 29th with boston's murder and a group and big group. we had fun all 11 years. it was amazing that we were still just fascinated with it and eager to get back into the libraries. >> for more information on the recent trip to charleston >> your book is entitled ranchers. what inspired you to write this book? >> it was probably

there, visitors can hand-copy verses from the king james bible in the same way monks and scholars copied scripturee the invention of the printing press. still, many modern christians say they find the kjv frustrating for personal use. the sometimes arcane words can be difficult to understand, and many trip over all the thees and thous. jon sweeney believes this is unfortunate. >> contemporary translations are good, they're great, they make the bible relevant, but at the same time i think it makes it kind of ordinary. so reading theible is kind of like reading a popular novel. >> reporter: sweeney says the kjv can bring a sense of wonder and majesty that is spiritually meaningful if people take the time to experience it. >> it's interesting to read a bible and have thees and thous, different ways that might actually change how you think about the god that you're praying to, about the god that you're reading about, about the activity of that god, because you're using language that feels more reverential. i find that it puts my heart in the right place. >> reporter: and, 400 years later, millions aro

islam faith, the moral constructs of integrity and honesty and virtueness and what i bring to the scripture and my relationship with god as the judeo-christian tradition, and there's political islam, bringing a thee karattic state based interpretation that views the islamic law as islamic jurisprudence. i may practice it in my life, but that's a choice. our organization believes it's no longer religious law, no longer a religion if government coerces you to do that. that antagonism of this country's understanding of the establishment clause and the beauty of liberty and wanting to put in islamic states like iran and th taliban had in place or the wahabi system in arabia, or there's versions of political islam that are 4.0 that use democracy in elections, but yet end up still based not in reason, but societies based in screw scripture where the only people who can have opinions are scholars of islam, and therefore me, like myself, get the snitch from proceedings because we're not experts in islamic law. that's what we're up against. they are trying to create a global home generality of islam

the south. if we had a wooden block letters with scriptures on the wall. in my church we recited john 3:16 every week, every sunday, every permitting. we said so many times that we began to play around with it. one of our times that we were reciting are scripture, one of my cousins nudged me and said you know what this means, don't you? i said yes. he said, "god so loved the world, he did not send a committee." [laughter] when i think about dr. king, god does not send a committee. a committee would never have moved america to move past segregation and jim crow. it took fannie lou hamer and martin luther king and so many other people we know. as i am privileged to travel all around the world as the face of the united states in our commercial relations, i am inspired and tumbled to see that same spirit of self- determination and faith in the work and in the lives of the people, as you have heard from our wonderful ambassador from south africa, and we are witnessing now the breath of dr. king's work come into life in places like libya and egypt and the middle

their star studded teams head to head in moscow this wednesday night in a match to race on scriptural charity the game is being held for the second straight year all the proceeds will go to helping disabled children in the moscow region the second of course a presidential aide paid for their choices he decides it's a life and also he likes to state that getting nothing i haven't got so i like someone else i think it was carlos i just four other names on a poor start this way but if i place a meeting in what i bet inside will be looking to have i was last year's defeat but that's secondary to the main reason for the event. alex and i believe in doing good deeds because we have a lot of children in this country who need our help but this year's match will feature two periods of thirty minutes each and the crowd will get to see numerous stars from outside the hockey world as well just. want to help the kids because i think it's i'm grateful to be in a position to help others and not give back as far as the match we want to win unlike last year we should be able to find a way to take a victory as we

one of the times we were reciting the scripture, and my cousin nudged me, and he said, you know what means, right? he said god so loved the world, he didn't send a committee. when i think of dr. king, it rings of that. god doesn't send committees. a committee would not have moved past jim crow. it took so many that we know. as i am prifflged to -- privileged to travel around the world in our commercial relations, i am inspired and humbled to see that same spirit of self-determination and faith in the work, in the lives of people, as you heard from our wonderful ambassador from south africa. we are witnessing now the breadth of dr. king's work coming to life in places like lip libya and egypt and the middle east and north africa as mothers and fathers all embrace that global principle of self-determination and self-empowerment. to me that is the spirit of dr. king's work. that is the genius of the globalness of his message. people intuitively understand the democratic rights. give people the power to ship our own destinies and our own futures. and they wls understand that increasing i

the text underneath is what is scriptural in palestinian air make, which is jesus' household languagerking with oxford. we are trying to pull out the bottom text so it can be better read. there's parts of it you really can't see with the naked eye or because it was written over is not visible. >> how did you test all of these to make sure they are authentic? >> i go back to dr. scott carol who we are working with. he has dealt with this for many years. he's an expert in bibles. so without him, we would not be able to do this because it's not our expertise. with his help, we've been able to collect what we have. >> so where can folks see these items next? what's the plan? is there a web site they can go to? >> we have our traveling exhibit, which is displaying about 300 of the over 40,000 items we currently have in our collection. it is open in oklahoma city at the oklahoma city museum of art. we are working on the final details to bring that here to atlanta in probably november. we'll be in oklahoma city until october 16th. >> fantastic, steve green. tell you what, you are a blessed m

and i love the story from scripture, you know this one. when the israelites were camped against the philistines and everyday was the challenge, who will fight goliath. and israelites response was he's so big, we can't defeat him. and david's attitude, he's so big i can't miss. i was an assistance coach in ohio university, never involved in politics. not even involved with our party. our local county party. and i decided i would run for state representative. and from where i am from in western ohio, you win the primary, you win the general. so i remember i talked to some republican party members, about 150,000 in the ohio state district. and i went to talk to some party leaders. and i said, i am thinking about running for state representative. and they said well, you are a nice young guy, but take a hike, and come back in years, but this two-county commissioner will clean your clock. and i said really, and thanks for the advice but we will see what happens. that's why they play the gama friday night, one team is favored but sometimes the und

. >> the writings and scriptures never carefully define but it's obviously some kind of switch or stickthis is it. it's designed to give a sharp, unpleasant pain. if that isn't the result of your spanking, then you're failing. a sharp, unpleasant pain. >> certainly some people will listen to that have no problem with it. our question tonight, though, is are some parents -- some paren s s -- now using the bible to justify their bad treatment of their children, and we're following libya and we're following the rick perry story and keeping him honest. it's interesting to me how many candidates right now these days are making statements that are misleading or not supported by facts, and i guess it's always been this way, but it seems easier to kind of catch them at it now. >> it's easier in the youtube age to find videos that they might have said and the internet age to find the past statements more easily and governor perry is learning things that all candidates learn the first couple of weeks out, being a governor is a lot easier than a candidate for president. everything you say and do i

we have been admonished by the scripture. i am a catholic. and i believe strongly that when the board says, "what ever you do to my brethren -- when the lord says, "whenever you do to my brethren and the least of these, you do toomey." -- you do to me." i do not believe in one side telling the other they have to become what they are not. you have the folks in china who happen to be muslims and they are terribly oppressed. it all comes from my faith and trying to be faithful to the gospel. >> your idea of quarters of tranquillity -- corridors of tranquility to try to get aid into somalia, would you be taking that beyond an idea to either the administration or outside? >> we asked the administration to pursue it. we have a letter going over to the administration to that effect. it has worked in the past. i remember meeting with the ethiopian delegation in new york in the '80s when the famine was exacerbated by the dictator then in ethiopia. and our big push was to get medicine because so many were dying -- was to get cor corridors of tranquility

i love the story from scripture. the old story when the israelites were camped against the philippines and the philippine giant would issue the challenge who will fight elias? the israelites response was he was so big we could never defeat him the david said he is so big i can't miss. that is the attitude that makes a difference. why can't i accomplish that? for me i was assistant wrestling coach at ohio state university. never involved in politics. state representative raise opens in 1994. never been involved with our party. i decide i was going to run for state representative. where i am from in western ohio is you win the primary you will win the general. i went and talked to the republican party leaders in our home county, 115,000 and i talked to the party leaders and i said i am thinking of running for state representative and they said you are a nice young guy but come back in 15 years. two term county commission will clean your clock. i said really? i said thanks for the advice but we will see what happens. the

and we have the wooden block letters with scripture up on the wall. 3:16 every john a week. one of the times we were reciting scripture, and one of my cousins nudged me and said you know what this means don't you? he said god so loved the world he did not send the committee. well, when i think about dr. king, it breeds like to that, because god does not send committees. aths life to that, because god does not sent committees. as i am privileged to travel all around the world, as the face of the united states and our commercial relations, i am inspired and humbled to see the same spirit of self determination and faith in the work and lives of people. as you are heard from our wonderful ambassador from south africa, we're witnessing now the brett of dr. king's words coming to life in places like libya, egypt, and the middle east and north africa as mothers and fathers all embraced a global principal of self faith, self- determination, and self empowerment. to me, that is the power of dr. king's work. people intuitively understand the democratic rights give people the power to

that one of the first revelations in the hebrew scriptures of the heart of god is in the burning bushave heard the cry of my people. and i realize that here i was in another world, here was the inner city, and i woke up. and the awakening was such a grace. i'm grateful to this moment that i woke. up. and then what you talk about, your holynd, the motivation to act. because when my consciousness changed and i realized i don't want even know those people, i moved, i acted and lived in the presence of african-american people in the st. thomas housing project who became my teachers. and once you get in this river as dr. harding loves to write about, once you get in the currents, then one day coming out of the adult learning center where i was helping people to get their ge ds realized the miserable state of education for poor african-american people in public schools. people were coming into the adult learning center, juniors in high school, and couldn't read a third grade -- what is going to happen to these kids, and why had i been so privileged? why was i so blessed? and so i began to a

the battle in your favor. i want to you write down tonight two scriptures and read it. dueteronomy 27:3. it talks about, it talks about god bringing you to the land of milk and honey and when god talked to me about the seed of 273, i had no idea what dueteronomy 27:3 said. go back and read sal psalms 27:. he's going to give you the victory quickly. when you call, don't forget to ask for my cd teaching "building your faith on god's reputation" but it imperative you name this seed. why? because your faith requires a photograph. abraham, i'm going to multiply your seed. he said how are you going to do that? i have an old woman, hasn't had any kids. he said go outside, look at the stars. i'm going to multiply your seed. that's the importance of naming your seed, when you name your seed, your expectation is born. your expectation increases. if you tried to call a moment ago, you got a bowsy signal. there are lines available now. go to the phone and dial the number. there is a security website on the screen that you can sow your seed online, if you're calling from another country, even here in

accompanied sean for many other prisoners both men and women in the final moments now he no longer carries out this mission. does that scripture justify what we're doing today. now are we doing it today. because we like punishing people in our life it's been it's been eight years now and now confining talk about fully talk about what i've had. i don't. do our regret no i help the person not that i was in favor of putting that person to bed nothing was going to stop that i was there to help that person and not if i was i would minister to the person i would talk to them i cannot do this any longer i can't put words in god's mouth but i don't think you would want the death penalty i think he would want us to share a laugh and how to have a laugh and cry asked. do you believe in god or. do you fear his judgment. or well more so human race. and so on rushmore him. i think as a chance that god is against death penalty. six years after sean's execution the supreme court at long last ruled against capital punishment for minors. today three thousand three hundred prisoners are waiting on death row throughout the united states. in okla

the judge and the jury, you know, he is used to having 10,000 people do his bidding and bow at his feet. and i think he kind of maybe thought with his sermonizing and reading of his scripture he maybe was thinking maybe he had convinced these people that he was doing his sacred, religious beliefs. that they needed to send him on home and quit this nonsense. the fact that there were ten women on that jury and the judge was a woman was the greatest of insults. to warren jeffs. >> emily, do you think he plans to appeal? >> well, he certainly has the right to appeal. i cannot foresee any reason why he would not choose to exercise that right to appeal. having been there from the beginning of this litigation, which began -- well, the beginning of my involvement, which was the second recusal hearing, which occurred on july 18th. said motion was denied on july 19th. i believe there's enough issues there in the record that would certainly merit an appeal. >> emily detoto, appreciate your time. flora jessop, thank you. >>> four years after a gunman killed 32 people. campus alert, warning a man may be on campus with a gun. we'll tell you what happened. >>> from abusive boyfriend to r

and as 30,000 people packed into this stadium to watch the governor offer up a spiritual message, he mixed his script with scripturefficult times, father we pray for our president, that you would impart your wisdom upon him, that you would guard his family. we pray for our military and the families who love them. oh, father, especially, for those special operators who lost their life yesterday in defending our freedoms. >> reporter: the protesters gathered outside this stadium say this event tears down the walls separating church and state. they also blasted one of the events' key organizers, the american family association which has made some white, hot, incendiary comments about gray rights activists. many of the wore shippers told us they were here for the christian message, not it's high profile messenger. rick perry is thinking about running for president and he's going to be answering a different calling and that is from gop fund-raisers and conservative activists about whether or not he should make a run for the white house. jim acosta, cnn, houston, texas. >>> and for the latest political news you need to k
